Well this is the internet, hard to conduct tone.
Anyway, the idea of the thread is to point out why you are all inferior to the mighty Commonwealth of Australia, so I don't see how US history is relevant.
White, I don't care about how much you talk about the glories of Australia...
I'm just complaining on the phrase defeated in war and invaded. Which Britain has done on none of my listed stuff. In short
Mexico Privateers: No Invasion
Canada: I am referring to the developed state, not French outposts, so once again, No Invasion
Israel: Cannot be called defeated, seeing as the result was them gaining control of Palestine, or should I say, what they wanted all along.
Saudi-Arabia: Never went to war with
Portugal: Again, hard to argue defeated when there were Portugese on both sides, but the one concession that could occur
Koreas: Never a significant force, never a victory In war, arguing that they exist because Britain felt like leaving them alone is not justified.
Vietnam: Again, you lost, Vietcong won and got independence
South America (minus Argentina): Never Declared war, never invaded
Madagascar: No war declared
Ex-French colonies that achieved independence: Never fought Britain
Ex-Spanish colonies: Nope, actually lost territory to Spain in North America.
Arguing Privateering is a poor argument, and ignores that you specified invasion.
If your going to argue these points, remember that original phrase. It will do you good.
Wasting perfectly good flavored water tea!
Or maybe it was just one big misunderstanding and it was actually just one American's dream to open starbucks under the sea.
The tarring and feathering was obviously a prelude to football mascots.
And we left the UK because we wanted to avoid taxation. Don't lie like that.
...Is your funny broken? o-o
