You do realize that I'm not even taking part in this discussion anymore, and that I lost about 2 days ago, right?

Today I hypnotized myself when playing "Captain Muchly Drinks Bleach".  I closed all the programs on my computer, got up, stretched out, and suddenly I lost control of my body and my eyes shut.  Only one thought stuck in my mind, get to you're bed and lay down, which is what I thought just before getting up.  I walked without controlling myself, and collapsed on the floor.  It was really weird...

You should probably take the spaces away from the image thing... but since i'm here:

It's a huge holiday in Greece actually.  Its called Αριθ ημέρα (auhee day).  When they refused to join the axis.  My dad's side of the family left sparta with hunting rifels to take on the German tanks in the mountains when they came. 
I am going to throw in my hat on this debate.  Its one of those things taht no one can convince anyone else anything, like Whos your favorite Rugbee team (see an olive branch).   

I only have one last point to make:
"Hail Hitler"
Don't Like it?
that's what you'd be saying if it werent for America...

I do, updating all the artwork on my game so I have an excuse to release it...

that was posted by my 17 year old brother... and hes joking (i hope)

Sure America does have some problems, but they are few and far between.  Sure we do have some messed up communities, (frisco) and some very messed up stereo types which may have basis in reality.  The matter of the fact is that most American critisizm stems in jealosy not by other peoples, but by their media outlets.  The press is viciously anti american.  Not only all over the world, but in America too.  Storys surface about how the Americans polute the world.  Russia, china and india, all polute more then us (on our dime might i add).  In fact, Americans reccently have become the cleanest industrial nation propotionally to their output.  Still pepole blame us for poluting the world.  I have a friend, who is Brazilian.  She often tells me how she can feel the global warming, and the UV rays, caused by the American factories.  She tells me that she learned in Kindergarten that it was the Americans who were poluting the world, and to not be like them.  When she told me this, i couldn't help but to retort "Isn't it the Brazillians who burn the forests so they can plant crops, only to leave the field baren a year later?"  Everyone has their problems and they find it easier to blame it on someone else, and as Americans we are the biggest target for scapegoating.  I'll revise my choices: Frank Sinatra, Elivis Presley.
I happen to know quite a few English people, and they are all very nice.  I personally don't dislike England, I only dislike the Englishmen who are so dense that they accuse Americans of being short sighted, and buy into cheap stero types.  That seams to be short sighted to me. 
Say what you will about George Bush, but he's done a decent job.  I'd bet no one here agrees with me, but he isn't as "stupid" as the media likes to portray him.  He's done some pretty slick things, that really shut up the opposition's claims that hes stupid (in america atleast). 

Now it is my deep personal belief that a union should be formed, between The United States, the United Kingdoms, the Austrialians, the Canadians, and the Israelis.  the combined resources of this union would be able to solve most major problems around the world.
On the note of a future deep friendship, I would like to say God Save the Queen, Oh Canada, my home and native land, Advance Australia fair, Muzzeltoff (spelling?) and God Bless America!

Nikolas, there are a few key points that I have to agree with you on, but there are a few things I have to disagree with.

First of all, everything you hear about america is from american media, not american people.  Everyone in the american media is looking for a story, which is essentially a case of greed:  they want the money for THE story, and it doesn't matter how many people it screws over.  You can't know americans based on the american media, otherwise you'd think we live in pretty much a big craphole.  I was talking to someone who lived in canada a few years ago, and he was talking about america like there was fleets of hobos, and few to none americans who owned a house.  I live in america, and I've never seen a hobo in my entire life.  Most of the people me and my family knows owns a house.  The media no matter where you are is pure bullcrap.  From the all of the british stuff I've seen, I'd think that most of Britain thinks they're better than everyone else.  Even as I'm writing this my older brother is ranting about "Royal Mail" He keeps yelling "WHATS SO DAMNED ROYAL ABOUT IT!?".

Anyway, back to my point (assuming I have one... ) I like many other on these forums live in america, and all have different oppinions about our country.  If you live here you'll really get to know the country.  I'll probably never know any other country like I do america, as I've been raised here my entire life and was taught everything American.  The only thing any country can really be aware about is important events in other places, which for the past x years we have been doing. 


I also gotta say that this guy is severely pissing me off with his god damned "pronunciation tips". 

And mrcolossal, you're post is confusing me more than its confusing you...


I'm putting this for my brother's sake, who specializes in kickass rants.

Here in America, we consider England to be like a Mother to us.  Like All mothers, we expect to put them into a home, and absorb all of their assets.  Aluminum is infact spelled with an I not an A! Sound it out!  Fancy is an adjective, and should only be used as an adjective from today forward, thus the queen can not (grammatically speaking) fancy or not fancy anything.
As for Utah, Why shouldn't she 'fancy' it? It has a U in it?
U, Much like the United Nations is overused in all places besides the United States.
As for burgh's I don't see why you would completely butcher the poor word.  There is no a at the end of it, and the H is silent (duh).  As for Our trailer trash which appears in the Jerry Springer Show, Once your population drops the cockney act, well drop the illustrious guests of Former Mayor of Cincinnati Jerry Springer.  Microsoft, whom could buy and sell the queen like a sack of potatoes, can call the Superior more evolved American English Whatever they want.  As for British English, you had a good run, but its our language now.  In fact we should rename it American.  As for our Brothers in the South Pacific, I can distinguish an Australian Accent. The question is if you know the difference between a New York Accent, and a Mid Western Accent.
As for British Sitcoms, They will be eradicated.  No one like them, I don't even think you could tell me you like sitcoms with a strait face.  We invented Sitcoms, and they were horrible here, and then you stole, only to destroy them. As for the queen, I might not get it, but what has she done for you lately? I mean Tony Blair, and George Bush are both important, intelligent, and most of all Influential; the queen is obscure, and unneeded. After all this isn't the middle ages. Sure we can sing God Save The Queen, but she's the Queen of England! Why does she need saving? If anything America Saved the queen on a few occasions. (that's right, we kept the royal jewels safe in fort Nox for years). 
Also someone has to explain to you guys that to be royal, you have to actually have association with royalty.  Royal Mail? Royal Tube (im told thats what you call subways)? Royal Trollies? Royal Taco? Unless the queen comes down from Buckingham Palace and rides the trolly, while eating the taco, its not royal.  Like here in America, We dont call things Presidential unless our president has something to do with it.  And what about Knights? In my humble opinion, unless your riding on a horse with a jousting pole your not a knight.  You have Sir Elton John,   Sir The Beatles.  Whats the deal? We have Billy Joel, and Lynard Skynard, who beat the crap out of Elton John and the Beatles, but we don't call them knights.
Football, although poorly named, will keep its name.  We have so many things that are so much better then everyone else, that we can have one poorly named sport.  As for the World Series, As far as I'm concerned, when the Russians put a man on the moon, then they can give a shot at beating us at baseball.  Until then Sit down and shut up.
As for Guns, that's a sore spot.  Im hoping that everything is all in good fun, but you don't even joke about taking away our guns.  Its our guns that make us better then you, and better then everyone else.  As for American Automobiles, We understand the sleekness and style of German Vehicles, but why don't you produce a god damned car that doesn't cost more then the queen of England's life is worth. (Bentley Rolls Royce im talking about you!)
What's with the Treachery with this whole metric thing.  You're the ones who came up with the standard system.  what is multiplying by 12 that hard for you? I mean you invented it and now you complain about us using it?  Plus just take a look at your money.  Pound Sterling? that sounds pretty standard to me doesn't it?
As for FREEDOM FRIES (renamed to spit in the faces of the french) We do occasionally call them chips, but that's only when we are ordering them with fish, or if we suffer head trauma.
As for Tea in Massachusetts... well you can have it.  Were long over the whole tea thing.  Drink a coffee, or maybe a coke.  Although America does produce some poor quality beer, most of it is made for teenagers to buy when they're short on cash.  No self respecting citizen can be found with a Coors Light or even a can of bud in their hand. They are cheap as dirt, 30 for roughly 13 pounds sterling (my great American keyboard doesn't have the crazy L thing on it).  In accordance to the lack of quality beer, we will Make it all produced by Sam Adams Brewery named after one of the great founders of the greatest nation on earth.
Here in America, gasoline is expensive.  We pay nearly $3.00 a gallon.  (remember gallons? they are those things that aren't metric).  Now for a senior citizen country like the UK who's all out of oil, $6.00 a gallon may be acceptable, but not here in the US of A! we have our own oil, and we don't need to pay into socialism with high taxes on our commodities.
Lawyers Therapists and Guns are our hearts and souls.  We don't have the stress free lives, that you enjoy, we have to work hard to stay the greatest nation on earth.  We have the best army ever, the highest standard of living (except in Luxemburg, where we launder our money) the best data communication system.  Sure the internet is a European idea, but it wouldn't exist if it weren't for America. Don't Believe me? Ask the UN who was unable to enforce "Changes" to the internet because of American National Sovereignty.  We donate more money then everyone else.  Most of all we have a negative balance of trade! Talk about charity!  So after providing for all of the deadbeats around the world were tired, and stressed, and just have too much money (it's a great feeling) so we hire shrinks and lawyers, who then become rich, and hire their own shrinks and lawyers- It's the circle of life.
As for JFK Forget about it.  Its not worth it. 
You guys can try to collect taxes from us.  In fact I dare you.  Then you can try to take away our guns.  Good Luck And God Bless America.

P.S. Shawn of the Dead sucked!

Chip's challenge, thought to be too violent thanks to it's monsters and fires, as well as discriminatory against earlier vacuum tubes, in addition to being very suspicios with the main character (a pale computer nerd)  has been renamed and recreated as:
Chip.


Yea, i know it's rather lazy on my part.  But I just couldn't go without doing this.  soon I'll have a real entry, probably last minute.

Common now, the only place that really deserves any kind of taunting in America is New Jersey.  Stupid jughandles... stupid people with their bad directions... bah.

I guess I'd have to be either british or non-american to find this funny...

No one likes self instalers, that's what.  And anyway, I don't care what I unzip with, but like gilbot said if it makes that much of a difference then use rar.  It's easy to get winrar, so it's no coropeal difference unless some people don't know where to find it (assuming they don't plan on putting "winrar" into google)

Well, to quote some drunk guy I met somewhere, "Playing a game only for graphics is like owning a ferrari without an engine."

Hey, it could work!

I wasn't referring to young women or men with briefcases or even pickpockets.

"You know, there are old ladies wandering the streets clutching handbags which I hear are filled with personal effects. Perhaps you could try a spot of mugging."

Men and young women are not referred to as old ladies.  It was a specific issue, not a general topic of theft/pickpocketing.

Something like 3-4 locks on a door is nonsense.

If soneone really wants to break into you're house, you'll do it.  One of my friend's bikes was stolen, and his house was broken into--The bike was worth $300-$400.  He's got 3 locks on each door and a security system wired to every door window or crevice, but his house was broken into.  Twice.  All that stuff will do is slow a thief down, and make you sleep better.  Mabye catch some people if they're stupid enough.

But Sevemcrea has a point, there are many people out there who would be easy to steal from.  But most people don't feel like knocking down an old lady to take her purse or stealing someone's car keys.  It's also easy to steal a movie from a video store, to sneak into a movie theatre, but do most people do it?  No!

And a 90 year old lady isn't going to stop carrying around a purse just because she's an easy targed.  And the word you're looking for is "senile", not "fool".

I think that proves it: this is an insane asylum.

Because then it won't be King's Quest IX.

Plus, as pointed out from the other thread, it is still punishable to use characters that you don't own-- even if it's King Graam instead of Graham.

Well you can blame the shit little kids play on the media... warning people about violence in video games... it's all the same.  They just don't like certain games, and therefore they start to really bother the voilent one and encourage other games.  Pokemon is a game about trainers who "love and care and make bestest friends" with their little creatures who they hold in tiny spherical balls and use to earn money in cock fights.  It's all bullcrap i say... bullcrap!

The best part about WoW is the creation of hillarious comics mocking the very concept of the game

I found that funny.  And this probably applies to some people:
