Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

But hardly any USians felt that way post Pearl Harbor.

Same was true of asia and then the Japs did Pearl Harbor.

You can run the same mindless line about Mexico and Canada.

The USA wouldn't be the way it is today if it had just yawned during WW1 and had said to the Japs, if you want Hawaii that bad, you can have it, its only a few beaches, nothing worth doing anything about. In spades with the Philippines.

Yep, that bugger never had a clue. In spades with slavery.

No possibility of that.

Bullshit.

Or Vietnam.

Pity about Pearl Harbor. Few USians agree with you about that and you get to like that or lump it.

Irrelevant.

Nothing to do with Thatcher.

It is entirely your business.

It is Russian propaganda that is telling you otherwise.

Clearly the US feels it is in its interest to do so. Why don't you?

So, we'll add history to the list of subjects upon which you are completely clueless.

Cats are usually a lot more discerning than that. They can clearly hear differences that we cannot. Ours show no interest in passing cars, but as soon as one of ours approaches, even before they can possibly see it from where they are, they are ready and waiting. Well it's either that or they are psychic.

And a fishing area.

I knew a Sharon, righ bitch. And one with the surname Haller-Shannon, very cute, but had hairy arms?!

So that's why they're impossible to understand someone on.

We need those redundancies to interpret speech over background noise.

Unnecessary bollocks. 192kbps mp3 is not differentiable from the original.

Nonsense, just wrote a code meaning white noise then recreate it. It's only random anyway.

It's an independent country. Why are your troops there?

If by US you mean the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about, I'm not part of it. If you mean the war mongering chicken hawks that are running the country, I'm not in that group either.

How much was that influenced by Bomber Harris and Lindemann's 'de-housing' campaign disrupting materiel production while Roosevelt send aid to the Reds?

Don't get too fond of the Falklands.

Are the Taffys getting restless too?

Duh.

My troops arent. There are no british troops there either and what non syrian troops are there are there to help them f*ck over ISIS.

Irrelevant that she was pissed off.

Nothing, the dehousing campaign happened later.

None of the dehousing campaign was.

Wont see the falklands lost.

Nope, the entire SNP is imploding spectactularly and that's why Sturgeon quit before she was kicked out.

Nope.
