Zephro is particularly bad. "You're just wrong! I don't need proof!" Hemlock, you're on your own, pal. I can think of six hundred better things to do that argue with idiots.

Unrepentant Jingoism: not just for Americans anymore.

This idiocy here is absolutely mindblowing.

All of this because the guy who wrote the original article was ball busting. He even stated he knew he was smudging a few facts. Its the same as going to the bar with your buddies and talking shit.

It wasn't malicious (like that Colin Mockery bullshit :D ), he was just busting chops. I've talked to British people who loved it.

Who wrote the Canadian Apology, anyway? Was it Mochrie or Mercer?

I have. This level of stupidity is nothing special.

Remind me never to get into debates about military history with you people :shock: Shiiet
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Eh, the Thrid Army wasn't created until Mid 1944. George Patton Jr. command the US II Army Corps and Seventh Army while in the Mediteranean. There are also some other points where there re superior rebuttles but otherwise clap, clap, good work.

I was considering clarifying the Seventh/Third army thing, as someone could claim that I said the Third army operated in Africa, but I really didn't feel like it at the time.
