A person who is said to be proficient in the arts is like a fool. Because of his foolishness in concerning himself with just one thing, he thinks of nothing else and thus becomes proficient. - Hagarkure

Firstly, I never said Arnie wasn't Austrian, with a name like Schwarzenegger he isn't going to be from the US is he. When I said all american movie star i meant he is a star of your typical american movie.
And many US people DO believe the US invented everything. I had an american ask me only 2 weeks ago if we had Cocoa in England. I mean for **** sake, what does he think we are. He also asked in the past if England had ever done any recycling of paper and glass etc. They assume they invented everything and that only they live in this special little bubble they created.
As for your liberation efforts, then you are a seriously deluded loser if you believe that shit. The war in Iraq was planned before 9/11 even happened so it ain't a war on terror either.”
M@T
Are you talking to yourself again you’re the only dickless bitch-ass **** we can see!
Get off the Americans think they invented everything deal, I’ve no claim to any superiority, I leave that to girls like you and Britany. Or maybe you think I should get on my knees, oh wait Britany has that job. You assume that every American is the same don’t you asshole? Well I can guarantee there’s just as many dipshits here and from all over the world, and if you don’t quit stereotyping people you’ll end up hating everyone, there are a lot of people right here in my own city I don’t care for, so what!
I don’t care if we started planning to take Iraq down in 1991. And I don’t give a shit if It’s called a war on terror, he’s a mass murderer and that’s all I need to know, we the free world and I hope to include the U.K. in this, and they are by the way if you haven’t noticed can’t let people like Hussein stay in power.
As far as liberation goes this started out with Britany saying Faibairn liberated us all from the Nazi’s with his hand to hand style, which is so ludicrous someone ought to slap his mom just for having him.
“In that case so should you - you should be on your knees thanking us for our soldiers giving their lives for yours, our marines that bailed yours out. And also appologising for giving pilots licences to cowboys with no understanding of what a British tank / convoy looks like! Man o man! Funnily enough our pilots dont make that mistake - must be cause your better huh??
You go on about liberation? do you know what the situation is in Afganistan now? of course not - your shitty 'news' chanels wouldnt show such unimportant shite!.
I don’t hate the US by any means - what i do hate is the general superiority complex that they seem to have!
Anyways back to the thread anyone??
Bri - you have some seriously funny things to say – LOL”
Chris,
Have you still got your head up your ass looking for your brain? I guess CNN doesn’t show us the news from around the world dipshit. Our News in case you haven’t figured it out can’t be controlled by the government it comes from all over the world and we know what’s happening everywhere, but have you guys heard about a little thing called cable, satellite TV and the likes, hell we even get the BBC.
Do you think we should have left the Taliban and Bin Laden in power?
Again this thing about Liberation started about the U.S. coming to Europes aid in WW2, but some of you guys can’t seem to stay focused long enough to argue one point so it goes on to lets bash the Americans. **** off girls we could care less what anyone thinks especially some racist thankless asswipes. Yeah I can cuss so what? Any idiot can look at Britany, it’s just that I can make intelligent points as well.
Britany is about as bright and funny as my goldfish. And Chris you’re not far behind him.
I didn’t say we Americans were better than the British at anything, that’s must be the little inferiority complex some have nutured over the years, one that leads you to bashing a whole nation that often stands and fights with you.
What I said was that we were the ones that made the biggest difference in WW2, not Fairbairn, which history clearly shows. Anyone who doesn’t think so should show me statistics about how many Americans vs British troops were involved in the D-day landing or died in the whole conflict.
Yeah the British have made great contributions to the causes in the wars we’ve both fought, but you didn’t have the raw materials or the amount of troops that we did in the WW2.
You three Bri, M@T, Chris, ought to pay attention to the topics and try to make intelligent rebuttals to the arguments. You definately need to get away from bashing things you apparently have no clue of.
“Since you couldn't come up with any events of the fight, I quoted some for you from one of the articles I have on the subject. My post on 10-12-03 is direct quotes from Karate Magazine, July 1980 issue, story titled "BRUCE LEE’S TOUGHEST FIGHT" (http://www.angelfire.com/pa/99vs66/1980.html) I can quote others, but I’m not going to waste my time on it for you.
I’m telling you, you do some intelligent research and you’ll see both sides of the story. That really was the only point I had in starting this thread b/c I felt if you guys were going to talk about Bruce Lee’s fights intelligently you should know there is more than one side of the story. My Wing Chung instructor told us both sides of the story and told us to believe which ever one we wanted.”

I’m starting to think you might be one of the smart ones in the bunch, but still seriously deluded about the truth about Bruce Lee. That article I’ve read many times over the years, and all it says to me is that many traditionalists and especially Wong have spread a lot of rumors about that fight since Bruce’s death. You can go ahead and believe or think what you want, but just because some karate guy who definitely didn’t like Bruce’s downplaying of traditional arts, wrote an article about the fight doesn’t mean he really knows what happened. I can write an article claiming I was there and witnessed it, even submit it to Blackbelt magazine, but that doesn’t make it true.
The only people who know for sure have conflicting stories, so who are you going to believe, I would believe Linda before the rest she would be the one who would be the most honest about it, she knew Bruce wasn’t perfect, actually he had a lot of flaws, and he losing a fight wouldn’t be a big deal to her. She’s not going to lose anything if he’s not seen as a superman, she just wants to see the truth told. Nor do I care, I know he lost to somebody somewhere along the way, I just know it wasn’t Wong, it could have been close because they both sucked then anyway, but Wong still sucks. And you can’t truthfully say it was Wong who won unless you were there and if you were that judgement might be subjective at best and biased at the worst.
Regardless you Serrada can't say Wong beat Bruce.
Glad you mentioned Afghanastan. It was hard to bite those well armed Taliban wasn't it. Particularly since it was the Americans who armed them in the first place.
But their oppressive regime is fine if they're getting rid of the Russians. But not fine if its Americans who decide to take over their country.
Right, this is getting a little silly. At the end of the day the US and the UK are ALLIES and I hope it stays that way.
However, there are still questions that need to be raised and answered from both sides. DRG, i'll refrain from name calling from now on if your willing aswell, lets keep it to a light hearted discussion. If not then **** off you .................... only joking
Firstly, we shouldn't have gone to Iraq. If Saddam wants to kill his people then thats up to him. Harsh yes but thats how I feel. Its easy for you to say bomb here bomb there KILL KILL KILL but would you be willing to lose your father or brother or even your own life to liberate this oil rich nation. Its easy to say in your armchair dude, different kettle of fish when the call comes in and the plane to Iraq is on its way. Remember that many of the troops in Iraq didnt want to be there and only went coz they had no choice. I know of several Army men who went AWOL from their base before the war coz they were that against going.
I'll reply to the WW2 situation after i've give it a bit more thought over the weekend.
In that case so should you - you should be on your knees thanking us for our soldiers giving their lives for yours, our marines that bailed yours out. And also appologising for giving pilots licences to cowboys with no understanding of what a British tank / convoy looks like! Man o man! Funnily enough our pilots dont make that mistake - must be cause your better huh??
NEWSFLASH!!!!
It's called a killzone/killbox. If you happen to waltz into a killzone.......you get killed. C'mon, even you guys should have known that. The people handling the intelligence for those poor guys did. No disrespect intended towards any fallen soldiers from England, but US can't take full blame for that.
