I agree and I did ask for no more on WAR in this thread, its not what the OP is about, we have threads for that, this isnt it.

Lets try and heal this rift in time for Christmas and the New Year cos ill be buggered if im spending my time on a forum full of fighting and arguing over war.

Peace...lets have peace. Im all for having an opinion but have it and move on, dont pick other peoples opinions apart because you dont agree.

I actualy blame touchstone. if we were to go back over all the threads he posted, i think the majority were 'flaming' this American/British thing or just downright pervvy.

I'm sorry to sound smug, but i caught onto him quite early on and didn't post anything serious on his threads.

If he's logged in, he'll be pissing himself laughing at doing exactly what he intented to...The sick bastard.

Your saying Europe as a whole conquered Germany, :yh_rotfl you might want to go be checked for dementia!

Let's see Italy was apart of Hitler's crew. France actually had an underground movement to get rid of the Nazis, Switzerland was neutral as always, Poland just rolled over as did Denmark, Holland and the other mid to eastern European countries. The only ones with actual soldiers fighting the Nazis was U.S., England, Russia and Australia.

The comments and the arrogance of people saying WE WON THE WAR are insulting . But to sit here and back that arrogance shows a total lack of respect to everyone else on this forum.

Well said that woman. By the way, can i just thank you on behalf of the British Empire for the enormous contribution Australia made in the WW11?

We do have Anzac day here at at rememberence service here, our local vicar did remember your troops in his prayers.

Hang on Fuzz, am i correct in recalling that two American senators actually demanded the Queen's crown jewels in return for 'helping out'.??

No, it was not hatred, it was a joke. You kept on complaining about "bashing America" so I was going to show you what does the word "bashing" really means. That's all. You just jumped to conclusions, concentrating on the textual aspect of the message only and omitting its overtly provocative character.

RIGHT. You meant it just the way it sounds. Its hatred. I know a joke when I hear one. And I know a coward when I meet one. Dont run and hide.

I'd also like to state that Australia did not recieve one cent or pound out of the booty of the wars we've been involved in. We did though recieve the many refugees afterward .

And yes Oscar you are quite correct about the crown jewels , it was laughed out of the American senate, but it was stated and is found in the archives of the US national library . There is also a documentary on it . It's a British documentary .............do you think it may be slanted in some way to be anti American?


Well in answer to that, i can only deduce that as the evidence of Senators demanding The british Queen's crown jewels for 'helping out' is well documentated in the US National library, then it can not possibly be un-true.

If the American's are admiting it, there would be no need for the British documentary makers to make it anti-American. they only went from evidence from America written by Americans.

Its like floppy said, if you dont want our help then, you wont get it, so if alqeada bombs you or the world needs food, or genocide in Somalia comes you can take care of it yourself right?

I'm really in the mood to stay home now.


There is never any denial that America helped Britain during both world wars and i am sorry to see some British people on here using that as a tit for tat arguement.

American's have always been fierecly patriotic toward their country and this can sometimes be seen as being defensive. Like-wise the British are also patriotic but due to such massive loss in both wars, it is a tough memory to get over and this will no doubt be passed down to future generations. British naturally get hostile when reminded that we needed help, be it, what ever stage during the wars that may have been.

It is natural American's and British will become defensive should they feel their country is being mocked. However, i do like to see people from both sides of the Atlantic being able to express their opinions on here without any real bitterness. I am sure much is just light hearted banter with no ill feelings for any member harboured.

The wars should be discussed and discussed openly. To not discuss them is to finally forget the men and women from Britain, America and every other country who gave their live's for freedom and be-little the efforts of our troops engaged in war in present day.
