It was called 'trade'.
The British Empire was built on trade, not military occupation. And no, we wouldn't consider dealing in slaves 'trade' these days. In fact England was amongst the first countries to outlaw it.

Yes, I've seen a lot of overly emotional losers like you. Like they say, "If you can't stand the heat, don't sit in a puddle of gasoline."
I don't own a drum, Missy, and I didn't start the crossposting. I see a flaming moron in the group I'm reading, so I tossed a cople logs on his fire to help keep him warm.
Yawn.

O'dear this is getting O-so-tiresome, And your little phrase is incorrect, it should read, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen" So I would suggest if your thinking of adding some more well warn phrases, at the very least, get them right.
No you would be more of a Tambourine sort of person. Which tells us everything.
So how did this progress to an "ALT" newsgroup
Most considerate I,m sure, And correct pronunciation should be, So I tossed a couple of logs on his fire.
Yes I can understand why you would be so tired, with all this thinking to link a few words together, And with a thought process of a Goldfish, it must be quite taxing at times.
But as I said, my original contribution had nothing to do with you, was not directed at you, and was of no consern to you. So why are you still flapping your little wings at something that does not consern you. Or don't you have anything else to direct your little ego at. just perhaps you should get out of the trailer park more. bassett
My kitchen doesn't get hot. i don't have a wood or coal stove.
A tambourine, with carpal tunnel and nerve damage in my hands. You are truly insane
Look at the headers and follow them back to whoever started the cross posting? Don't tell me that you are too stupid to do that much. I'll take pity and help you. Eeyore added aus.electronics to the thread so go bitch at the demented donkey.
Whoopee! A typo. Is that the best you can do? I am still regaining my eyesight after three months of being blind from a palsy, while you have extra spaces and odd length lines making your drivel almost unreadable. You parents must be so proud of you.
You give yourself you much credit Goldfish can breathe and swim at the same time.
Is English a second language for you? or do you use a translation server?
Trailer park? How many cars do you have jacked up in your back yard, and do you have to shoot at the other rednecks to keep them from stealing the good parts?
BTW, in the US, a 'Basset' is a breed of fat, lazy dogs who lays around waiting to be fed. They are too lazy to move when it rains.

Since the U.S. hardly played in WW1, that must be some Brit that you are talking about...
I am fully aware that they only arrived near the end Arnie, but that doesn't stop many of your countrymen from claiming full credit for the outcome.
PS. I don't blame the US for not wanting to get involved in a stupid quarrel between the various european royal families. Most of their subjects would rather not have been involved either, especially the ones who got killed for no reason at all.
Well I can't fault your knowledge of history there. However for the Germans, they must have realised the game was up then.

Note that we call Detroit "A third world city". Most of the world is the third world.
Most people assaulted or murdered in Detroit know their assailant. If you're a stranger, you are many times safer.
My wife and I ride our bikes through the city at will. Never had even a threatening experience.
Well Ian, since you are so stupid you don't know the difference between Detroit and its environs, it is very good for you to stay away from the whole lot.
So what? Just because a few americans don't have their heads on straight, does that make it fair to characterize us all that way?
Truth is, most modern americans hardly remember WW1, their recollections of WW2 are second hand at best, and even the Vietnam war is fading from the collective memory pretty fast.
Europe is still the biggest collection of illogical minds who should know better, around. The fact that each European country still thinks it is a soveriegn state, until lately had its own currency, until lately guarded its borders and treated the people next door like foreigners, and still can't figure out a common language to speak. This is a real hoot except that it is so sad. Heck, even the Canadians are language-stoopid.
Fact is in the US we have counties and cities that are larger, richer, more populous, more diverse, more cosmopolitan than some European countries. The only thing that keeps you apart is your egos.
For my whole life, my parents life, and my grandparents lives we've been able to go any place among the 50 states whenever we wanted to, no customs, no formal border crossing, talk the same language, spend the same money, and if we met nominal residency requirements, vote in the local elections.
Europe was fighting wars among itself and killing millions of each other, on several occasions since, when my grand parents came to the US and enjoyed the same liberties I do, in the 1800s.
So you europeans smartened up a little just lately. You still have a long way to go before you'll be where the US was two (2) centuries back in the
1800s.Pick at nits if you will. My ankles hardly notice it.
You obviously don't have the History Channel over there then !
Graham
Speaks for itself.

Not everybody wants what you want Arnie, what is so difficult about that. You, and a lot of your countrymen seem to have great problems understanding it.
Ah, if only the whole world were like America, God would be in his heaven and all would be right with the world. the truth is that the French like being French, the Germans like being German and so on. Very few want to be American. American cities may be more diverse that a lot of European ones (but not all) they certainly are not more cosmopolitan, and America as a whole certainly is not more diverse or cosmopolitan than Europe, or for that matter Australia. New York is certainly richer and more populous than Australia for instance, but having experienced both, I know which I'd rather live in.
Same with any country, the US just happens to be bigger than most. I can travel anywhere in Australia, settle down and vote anywhere. As a bonus, the Australain government does not forbid me to travel anywhere, and I can buy stuff from any country at all.
I seem to remember that during the 1800s there was a somewhat vicious war going on within the US.
ROFL
One of the skills in life is to be able to tell what are nits and what are not, you obviously have failed.
History is tightly bound to culture. If what Arny states above is true, this would explain why the majority of US high school students think that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife:-)

America is better off with you in OZ, as well. You are an illiterate moron.

May I interject and remind you that the rest of the World believes they are better off with you guys keeping Arny ;-) Oh and add to that George (Snr. and Jnr.), both Bills (Gates and Clinton), Al Gore and ........ sigh........ I feel it could be a long list :-))
Although if anyone one out there wants our Philthy Allison we can work out a deal I'm sure. Perhaps a swap for a Rosie O'Donnel or some nuclear waste? ;-) We are open to suggestions and will even throw in a cash incentive :-)
Cheers TT
Don't you remeber? They used Rosie & lots of nuclear waste to make Phil, in the first place! Phil was from the second try. The first try produced Eeyore. ;-)
