yes i did D,
however i wanted to let people know that of all those wars the US had something to to with virtually everysingle one and they were not just "oh another war" i thought it ironic to highlight US involvment with practically all the wars and lesser ones (the bananna wars) the US has been involved in.

Raven,

Without a doubt, we were not only majorly on the frontlines but the unbelievable U.S. Navy Seals were in that country LONG before the war started. Don't kid yourself into thinking the Brits were the only ones on the front. I am surrounded by family and friends of the military and I can assure you that you're very wrong.

However, it has been amusing reading your posts, and I'm wondering what else you've got in that silly head of yours.

Americans are not trigger happy. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of Americans are against guns, or having them in their homes. We DO like to defend ourselves and our families because there are so many criminals in the country, but most people resort to other means. I grew up hunting but I don't have guns in my home because I have small children. I really don't have an urge to have them around after they grow up either. I do have a large baseball bat that I could whop a burglar across the head with if he stuck it far enough into my window or back door.

Yes, we have the best damned military on the planet and yes, it consists of races from all over. Now scratch your head and go figure, but do know that terrorists will be removed from the face of the Earth, and this was a guarantee from the "super power".

So load up this guy's Bin Laden game and enjoy it while Bin Laden is still hiding in tents and caves.

I think they hate Bush so much because he's the leader of the main capitalist country in the world, while most of the Europeans hang on to their idea of socialism.

@Icfcfan:
Us original guys did let it go a while ago, and a lot of you British were insulting the US. Of course, I DID just sorta insult the UK now...

i dont know why im replying here but this topic pissed me off so bad i just decided to.. i just want to know how many people have actually taken us history. if you have feel free to talk if not please shut up now because you think you know what its like but you have no idea(lol..hmm diary anybody)..if you actually took us history you'd probably know that the reason we dropped the bombs on Japan was to save American lives ..this was a difficult decision for everybody obviously but it had to be done. Before the decision was made we were gonna go into Japan on foot right after the island hopping campaign. the us ordered so many medal of honors because of how many Americans they thought they would lose they are still using those same medals they sent for back in ww2..but luckily we droped the atomic bomb so we didnt have to worry about that. and some people just make me sick if you live in America and you are putting it down then you can go to hell.. if you do not like it please leave it because we dont want people like you here..before i read this topic i had great respect for Britain but now I cant stand it. All these people putting America down and stuff, its insane. I was reading earlier in this post before my eyes gave out that people in Germany compare Bush to Hitler.. all i can say is holy shit. So were saying that Bush gases and torchers his people in his own country. yea ok..sure..After all the Europe has been threw I cant believe anybody over there would be against war. Just pretend your a jew in Germany right now. what are they thinking.. Just think if you could go back in time when Hitler was in power if one army would stand up to him. Just think about how evil he was think about all the people he killed. Sadam is the same, the same as Stalin, the same as Trujilo. dont you see what America and Britain are doing..i just cant comprehend what is going threw your head really..were trying to help these people yet all people want to do everywhere is complain and whine about how war is so bad. You dont know jack shit..i've never been in an actual war, and probably none of the people replying in this post except Raven.(he said he served in the armed forces). the Iraqi people are(were) being torchered and all ya'll want to do is complain about how war is bad. anyway whatever.. and another example of stupidity is someone said that America only has two political party the Democrats and Republicans..uhh are you a dumbass yes you are another proven point you dont know anything about MY country..every heard of the Green party, Libertarian party, uhh ok..alright im done dont thing i changed anybodys minds but thats alright.

...It really is too bad that that game didn't work, it seemed really cool-looking. And it wasn't racist, just because it's about Al-Queda, which happens to be a primarily Arab terrorist organization, you call it racist. If someone made a game about the IRA, would you call it racist against the Irish or Caucasians (white people)? No, you wouldn't, so anyone who wants to call the game this thread was originally about racist, SHUT UP (that means you from around a month ago, Arrow).

Again, the thread was close enough to the top of the list that a response wouldn't really influence its position, and my post wasn't so much about the ongoing Pro/Anti-US argument that's been going on as the game the thread was originally about.

Racism is circumstancial...Here in Québec province,most humorist use racial comments and people accept it very well.

My prefered humorist is actually a black guy from Rwanda called Michel M'pambara and the name of his show is translatable as:"Not enough blacks in Quebec" and I tell you...It's funny as hell!

Go witha smile!

Many of these views are written in the heat of the moment and dont always reflect the proper opinion. For example I think Ive come across as so anti-American. Yet before electro jack began talking I wasnt. I actually dont agree with many critisms of the US forces.

But I dont like to see Britain slagged off so much. Even if it was a retaliation. Lets knock it all off okay and drop this forum.

Ok, I'm officially sorry for insulting the UK. I only did it to demonstrate, ESPECIALLY to Raven, that the US isn't the Anti-Christ, and that a lot of things the world sees wrong in us are done in many other countries around the world, and not just the ones we 'influence' directly, like Canada and Mexico.

I have nothing against the UK, just against thick-headed people like Raven, and to a certain extent, Arrow, although Arrow isn't a Briton.

Hey, I never tried to HIDE the fact that I was ElectroJako45, I just figured I needed a new nick 'cause certain people *cough* couldn't spell it, and 'cause it was too long. And you, Raven, can't even accept that I'm sorry for insulting the UK, when you yourself have never made any 'amends' to the US.

And for the last time, this thread turned into a flame war/napalm bomb when you, Raven, started making anti-US comments, and saying a game is racist simply because it's about a mostly Arab terrorist group.

What I meant when I mentioned you weren't British, Arrow, was that Raven was from the UK and my insults toward him could be seen as attacks on the UK (and a good deal were). There are a lot of screwed up people in the US, and a lot of good, decent people in the UK.

Again, a game that tries to be accurate in matters of race ISN'T RACIST. The US troops in Somalia (where Black Hawk Down took place) were up against THE NATIVES of that country, who were black. The US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq (yes, there are actually US troops in Afghanistan) are fighting THE NATIVES of those countries and the region, who are Arab. A game that tries to be racially and historically accurate isn't racist.

They don't put black warriors in games based in medieval Europe, do they. No, because there weren't any black people in Europe's armies back then.

They don't put Oriental colonists in games about American colonization, do they? No, because there weren't any Oriental people settling America back in the 1600/1700's, were there?

If you use the logic 'if something isn't equally balanced in terms of race, then its racist' for all games, then games like The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are racist, because every human in that game is white/Caucasian, and a game like Perfect Dark is racist because there aren't any Arab characters in it. I don't think anyone would want to label Zelda or Perfect Dark racist, since they're good games, but when an lesser-known company or programmer creates a game that has a large number of enemies that are one race, politically correct people leap at the chance to be seen as denouncing a 'racist' game.

Did you notice the accents in Raven Shield? Makes it even more fun when I blow their heads off. I wish they would thrash around when you gut shoot em. That would make it even better.

The US should just work their way east to North Korea from Iraq. Put those dumb ass English on the front line just incase we have some problems with friendly fire. Dang, just tie the French to the front of the US tanks. As long as no Americans die, who cares.

Did ya ever play Age of Empires. The fastest way to win is to kill all the civilians first.

I think that America gets involved in those foreign affairs to keep dictators from gaining power and threatening both American politicians/the government and American citizens.

On a related note, I came up with a few equations...

USA + UK vs. Germany = German victory
USSR + UK vs. Germany = German victory
USA + USSR + UK vs. Germany = Allied victory

For those of you who think the UK and USSR had it handled. Just my opinion.

Ole Sparky you're possibly the biggest moron on this planet, quite frankly people like you should be scrubbed from the face of it ... cept unfortunately the US has too much damn'd power for it's own good.

it's like that mom in your street who believes that EVERYTHING is her business, only some stupid bugger let he have a gun which she has no idea howto use.
This is completely why i believe this thread should've been deleted ages ago - you don't give a damn about anything but airing your stupid opinions about how much you think the US is great...

the fact of the matter is your country is making alot of stupid steps recently, i mean they're going against letting the UN in even now ... and British Government is FAR from impressed about this manoeuver. From what i see is a nation finally overstepping thier balance.

I hope that you goto war with someone else, finally bite off more than you can chew and the Brits arn't gonna be there to back you up.
Don't deserve the support anymore, because it is obvious this is no longer about saving people even to the sympathsisors.
This US great, UK not attitude is getting very old - and if you believe that WW2 would've been lost if the US hadn't helped then you're a bigger fool than you're already making out you are.

no doubt you'll find some way to be able to say that it was the American's that also gave the Brits the advantage in WW1 and helped us win that one too
but knowing you, you'll spout of something about the colonial wars where the States beat everyone, because they're just so great

just a question, which country has Great actually in thier name?
which country own'd 40% of the globe at the turn of the century?
which country developed every single peice of defence technology you use to date (which works!!)?
Which part of the world actually has a true democratic system and actually upholds the very nature of democracy?
Which countries in the world have time and time again tried to make the States have a legal conflict with the middle east?

the way i can see this world at the moment, i'd suggest you be afraid to live within the states and actively support what they admin is doing and thier worth over the years - because it is likely that rising tensions is going to cause a World War, and this time the USA isn't going to be helping the noble fight against the evil dictators.

you want to know why so many people hate the US, just look in a damn'd mirror - it's people like you and the administration which give the country a bad name and portray the country exactly how you're spoonfed to.
makes me truely sick to know people like you who don't appear to have a single thought in your head which hasn't been scripted by the government!

its the government that uses history to give thier point across and they never use history in the light it was in, but the truth in a way that justifies exactly what they are trying to do.

someone get rid of this f**king thread already!

Holy crap I can't be arsed to read this thread (there I swore, maybe this thread will be deleted now).

Ole Sparky, in referece to something you said near the very beggining.

"-A. Our troops ARE used on the frontline in Afhganistan, maybe less of them have gotten killed because THEY'RE better trained than your UK and Canadian armies."

Better trained!? PAH! The situation in Iraq at the moment is that more Americans have dies, and I think the first UK people to die. Were suprisingly shot by Americans.

And because I decided to read your last post, I've decided to post this:

We all know, Americans are arrogant, insolent, fat tubs of fried chicken, who sue at the drop of a hat. When the two towers were destroyed. But my, all you did. You couldn't turn over an American website without having to read some crap on it, or how the buildings were ethics. Bollocks, the reason you were so upset is because someone stood on your toe and ran. Not because the people died. Because someone had got you and you couldn't retaliate, and still can't. Because you are too cretinous to find them. Just like all crime.
However I digress.
Ole Sparky here is a pure bred example of this. He has his own opinions which are based on the crap from his shoe (I asume it's a he, it's such drivel).
Not all Americans are like this, so don't think I'm insulting your country, but let me say you're not the first person I've found on the internet who is like yourself.

"the fact of the matter is your country is making alot of stupid steps recently, i mean they're going against letting the UN in even now ... and British Government is FAR from impressed about this manoeuver. From what i see is a nation finally overstepping thier balance."

- The UN did nothing to help topple the regime of Saddam Hussein, and now they want to step right in and assume control of the formation of the government, something the US has at least said it's not going to do. It's a shame that you Brits don't agree with us on that, but the US was the one that spearheaded the effort with the support of Britain, Spain, Italy, and most of Eastern Europe (at least those were the European countries supporting the 'cause').

--

"I hope that you goto war with someone else, finally bite off more than you can chew and the Brits arn't gonna be there to back you up."

- So... tempting... to diss... arrogant Brits... like you (most dont think their countries the best in the world like you)...

--

"Don't deserve the support anymore, because it is obvious this is no longer about saving people even to the sympathsisors."

- What's this about then? Oil? Oh, NO, might we (including your country, your hands are not 'clean') be shedding BLOOD for OIL? What an origanal and insightful argument!

--

"if you believe that WW2 would've been lost if the US hadn't helped then you're a bigger fool than you're already making out you are."

- I don't ONLY believe that; I believe that Britain CERTAINLY could not have tackled Germany on its own, the Soviets and the British couldn't do it; AND THE AMERICANS AND THE BRITISH COULDN'T DO IT! It took the efforts of all three nations to bring down Germany, Nazism, and facism.

--

"no doubt you'll find some way to be able to say that it was the American's that also gave the Brits the advantage in WW1"

- You forgot to mention the French forces that did a lot of the fighting in WWI alongside the Brits. And, I acknowledge that it was the invention of the tank/land battleship, pioneered by the British, which broke the stalemate on the Western Front and pushed back the Central Powers (Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire). The Americans just helped to make Germany feel more threatened, but it was the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia that truly made WWI a 'war for democracy', which the Central Powers could not win.

--

"you'll spout of something about the colonial wars where the States beat everyone, because they're just so great"

- The US only beat Britain in the 'colonial' wars (assuming you mean the Revolution), and if you try and say we didn't, you're just an idiot, because otherwise, there wouldn't BE a United States, and we wouldn't be having this argument, PAL.

Q's and A's

Q. "which country has Great actually in thier name?"
A. Great Britain (sounds a bit arrogant, doesn't it?).

Q. "which country own'd 40% of the globe at the turn of the century?"
A. Great Britain (because of the imperialist policies which you accuse the US of having).

Q. "which country developed every single peice of defence technology you use to date (which works!!)?"
A. I honestly don't know, and doubt that you do, since many other things you've said in this discussion/argument/hurling of insults back and forth... have been wrong.

Q. "Which part of the world actually has a true democratic system and actually upholds the very nature of democracy?"
A. Europe, North America, and certain nations in the Far East.

Q. "Which countries in the world have time and time again tried to make the States have a legal conflict with the middle east?"
A. Europe, and it sure as hell hasn't worked, and Iraq is sure as hell the better off for it.

--

"it is likely that rising tensions is going to cause a World War, and this time the USA isn't going to be helping the noble fight against the evil dictators."

- The globalization of world economies and governments is bound to happen someday, and I'd say it's better if it happens under the US then any other nation (except maybe Japan).

--

"just look in a damn'd mirror"

- Okay, but my mirror's getting a bit worn out from me constantly looking in it, as you keep telling me to.

*Sparky looks in mirror*

Ok, I see me, and the room behind me... nope, no underling of the ruthless tyrant George Dubya...

--

"makes me truely sick to know people like you who don't appear to have a single thought in your head which hasn't been scripted by the government!"

- It makes me sick to know that people like you don't appear to have a single thought in their head which hasn't been scripted by the IRAQI PEACE/ANTI-US MOVEMENT.

--

You are a thick-headed little man, Raven, who needs to either come up with some GOOD, ORIGINAL arguments, or keep his mouth shut.

...
...

@ KamaKase:

"Better trained!? PAH! The situation in Iraq at the moment is that more Americans have dies, and I think the first UK people to die. Were suprisingly shot by Americans."

- More Americans have died in Iraq because we actually DO stuff involving fighting on the ground, as opposed to you (Brits) just sitting outside one city (Basra) for a week and then moving in after the populace does your job for you.

--

"We all know, Americans are arrogant, insolent, fat tubs of fried chicken, who sue at the drop of a hat."

"Not all Americans are like this, so don't think I'm insulting your country, but let me say you're not the first person I've found on the internet who is like yourself."

- These two statements are contradictory (they're opposite of each other)... which one are you gonna stick with?

--

...
...

That was a long post, and I don't want to feel like I have to do that again...

IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, PURE, AND HOLY, PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD O' SATAN!

And another few things, while we're sort of on Iraq:

-Today (April 22), millions of Shi'ite Muslims celebrated one of their holy days throughout Iraq, something that they could not do because Saddam's Sunni Muslim regime oppressed the hell out of the Shi'ites.

-The majority of the Iraqis are grateful to the Americans for liberating them, but want them to leave. The majority of Americans think it's cool we freed the Iraqi people, but want our troops to leave.

-Almost every Iraqi living in the United States supports the war, and believes Saddam Hussein should be gotten rid of whether or not he had WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction).

-If American or coalition troops don't find WMDs, oh no, all we did was free millions of people from the iron grip of a ruthless dictator. How imperialist we are.

-America played the largest role in freeing a whole country full or Arabs, most of whom are Muslim. Aren't we looking pretty pro-Arab and pro-Muslim right now?

--

If anyone like Raven wants to take what I've said out of context, here's a few quotes to do it with:

"How imperialist we are."
"American or coalition troops don't find WMDs"
"Iraqis are grateful to the Americans for liberating them, but want them to leave."
"Aren't we looking pretty"
"America played the largest role"

Feel free to use these conveiniently placed quotes when taking things I've said and using them in your ramshackle arguments.

I still say DELETE this thread.

Hey Sparky you think i'm somehow sympathic to the Iraqi cause then you've been dropped on your head once to many as a baby - because i'd love nothing better than to get my hands on Saddam and those responsible for the atricities and make them go through the same hell as they've put thier people through.

you think i'm against some f**king war then think again, i think getting these morons out of this country is a damn'd good idea and establishing a stable Democratic Government protected by the UN and run by the Iraqi people is a good thing.

THAT IS NOT WHAT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WANTS!

Britian hasn't in anyway supported the US stance on not letting the UN take over government, infact is it BRITIANS BLOODY IDEA!
And the American government is truely ruining every single good relation they have with the UK by fighting against what Blair wants to be put in place!

if you want to know why we're called Great Britian, then i'd suggest you open up a history book about the woman called Britannia which the United Kingdom was named after. Why her Alliance of the Nations was called the Great Alliance ... which has lasted for almost 1,800 years!

Sparky the problem you have here isn't the fact that these arguments aren't original, its that you're not listening to what you don't want to hear.
All you see is either Pro Saddam or Pro America, you don't see there is a whole world in between that NIETHER of you are even close to being right... i don't care what damn'd nation you are.

people like you are those who portray the true colours of the american thought, regardless of what the nation has to say - YOU are what the government has to say.
if the nation doesn't agree, then what do you do?
spood feed them that they're being all good and noble to go with the decision that the government has come up with.

The UK may not be a Democracy, but we don't pretend to be one either... we are Commonwealth Monarchy, and at the end of the day i'm proud of the fact that we're not been spoodfed BS to make our minds up - because this nation has the intelligence to see what is going on in the world around them, than believe that our home nation is some sorta Utopian Society that everyone else must emulate to also be good.

do you know what Utopian means? because that is exactly what America is ... a Utopia - everyone sees it as something which it just isn't.
you want to be proud of something, how about being proud that your government financed for the IRA to kill the English and Northern Irish based on thier Religious beliefs!
or how about being proud on the fact that your government althought they've done what they've said refuse to relinquish control of Iraq back to the people to control!
or how about the atrocities they've performed worldwide or turned a blind eye to just because they can rustle up some GDP??

you think your nation is all high and mighty and thier intentions are nothing but good? WAKE THE HELL UP AND SMELL THE F**KIN' COFFEE!
They have no interest in saving lives in Iraq, they have no interest in saving the Iraqi people from the tyrany going on... nothing was going to stop the US government breaking several UN rules, and countless rules of engagement to gain control of Iraq!
Look at how the damn'd war has been fought for christs sake!!!
The US havn't cared who the hell thier target was, they were like a wave of destruction going across the land - they havn't cared they're killing innocent civilians they're suppose to be saving.

If they were 100% true with thier words they wanted to free Iraq, then they would've fought the war methodically and be willing to sacrifice thier soliders over the people of Iraq!!

Thats what makes me sick about you here - you can't see what is really going on, no doubt you think this is Pro f**king Saddam - but that would just show how little you know.
Both the Saddam and Bush Administrations deserve to be strung up for thier crimes - and i'd personally love to beat both until they understood how thier selfish actions are hurting and harming people who can't possibly defend themselves.

the only person i'm pro for are those who are there to protect the lives of innocent people who do not deserve all the policital bulls**t they're having to pay for!

why should innocent people have to die for governments mistakes... and to a larger degree i believe that America should finally step back and leave the f**king world alone!
they would never be in the s**t they're in. You play with the scorpions and they're going to turn around and sting you eventually!

the american government must love people like you, but i have nothing but contempt for someone who can't sit down and think about the actions being taken for himself and has to quote all of the crap his government has told him!

and for your information British Aerospace Engineering Systems (BAe Systems) produces 80% of all of your defensive systems, including the very technology which makes you impunent from Long Range Missile attacked (namely Nuclear & Biological V2 style delivery systems)

if you want to bring history into all of this all the damn'd time, then take a bloody good look at America's history with other nations and then take a look at Britian's.
Thoughout history a nation would always know exactly where the hell they stand with the United Kingdoms of Britian ... you can't say the same for the US history!

You know, what...

I'm done. Seriously. Really. No 'final argument', no rant, because I've said everything needed to be said and you haven't listend to a goddamn word of it. Feel free to call me a coward, or say I'm running away, because I won't be reading any asinine reply you might make. I'm not gonna click on this topic again, and I suggest anyone who feels the need to post here not do so, so that this thread will get sent to the bottom of the list. This is a forum for things relating to DarkBASIC/DBPro, and not to the political issues of today's world. I know me, Raven, and Arrow have all dragged this thing out forever, but I'm stopping my part in it now.

I guess that was sort of a rant.

FUCK IT ALL.

Now this thread's got serious cussing. Maybe it'll get deleted.
