That would be 'really' pissed, eh? And I subconciously use Danish gramma when I write in English at times, is that a problem for you? Oh and did you just give me a kiss smiley? <_<

You attack everyone you have an argument with, only you do so in a bit more subtle and extremely arrogant way. You provoked me because you couldn't present your argument (let alone understand that I was simply writing a short resume) without coming off as a prick. Hey, how about this, WATCH the goddamn docu yourself.

Yeah. indeed. I mean, <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very constructive, not trollish at all, I'm so pleased we a nice person like you around here... err I mean. Anyway, ignoring the troll for a second, I think that it's a nice gesture to see for a change, I think it's a great honour for that dude.

It sucks to screw up so badly, huh? Have fun reporting me, my dear troll, we all know that your only purpose around here is exactly that.

You just can't make one single post without being a prick, can you? I mean, I can be a prick, but I try not to be in every post I make, you must be a miserable man to know in real life. Anyway let's see if your trollish brain can comprehend the following; I was making a short resume of what the docu was about and how it presented things (like the body bags, for instance, you raving moron), because someone on the thread requested it. Now please, go hang yourself and trouble me no more.

But having a budget that is bigger than all NATO members, Russia and China together is going to create a somewhat militaristic society, where the military might gain too much power over politicians, this was one of the issues the docu adressed.

I saw the docu on Swedish TV (it was either that, or some old yahoo Navy Seal flick on Danish TV), and it was very interesting, to say the least. It was basically a rundown of US military engagements, support of dirty regimes, and how the military industial complex has gained much influence in the US government, which was what Eisenhower once warned might happen as a result of the arms race, a prospect which troubled him a lot. Also something about how the US has become, whether you want to admit it or not, a militaristic society. Taking advantage of patriotic feelings, lack of media coverage in wars (ie. not showing body bags, propaganda, stuff like that). Oh and Julian, there's plenty of nations in Europe which are, dare I say it, more democratic than the US. Not with a huge army though, no need for that.

Wit? From Volo?

Aye, new star systems plz.

That would be correct, expect that you were responding to kirottu... or so I thought.

That would be British humor from Finland, then?

7. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. The man got a point. :D

... and the hammer of Thor, Mj

Continued from this thread, I thought it was kinda funny, and I dig John Cleese. ^_^ Except Utah, which she does not fancy.

I made a Jesus, one with a chainsaw and splattered in blood with an evil glare, just can't get this flash to work either.

On a related note, I find your new avatar highly disturbing, yet funny.

If you read more carefully you'll see I was refering 'Olaf' was a Swede not Danish <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Olaf isn't a Swedish name either. But it's a common Hollywood stereotype to think so, apparently. One would actually be called Olof, which isn't such a common name anymore (although one of my best friends is called Olof). But your Danish warrior from the pic is pot on, though. Seconded. I mean, wtf? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think the warrior is supposed to resemble a Swedish warrior, though.

When did anyone write something that wasn't English? And omfg, they made Eldar a mod. :ph34r:

If you read more carefully you'll see I was refering 'Olaf' was a Swede not Danish <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, on 'their' side. Riiiiight, terrifying indeed.

Of course you sucked when they had a bunch of warriors like 'olaf' here fighting on their side: :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Olaf isn't a Danish name dude, sorry.

Oh, I forgot about them too! There's always one more, the Dutch really didn't like you. :D I won't dispute that we mainly were a land power (which is kind of odd considering our ambition to have the Baltic Sea as an inland sea, but there you have Charles XII again, since he consistently neglected the fleet). And you were good at that, I'll be the first to admit that we sucked in land warfare. Bully Schmully. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's not what I've read, in a swedish history encyclopedia no less. The Dutch and Danish fleets were arbitrarily exterminating yours on a yearly basis. You were hopelessly outgunned at sea, as was pretty much the case throughout all our wars. You're right though, it took a large coalition of nations to bring down the giant bully.

*That* is why you failed... Why, sure we failed, but your own status as a great power was crushed with our help during the Great Northern War, we're not the only ones having lost a great deal of power here, my dear Swede. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd hardly credit Denmark too much for our downfall in the GNW. It was rather a case of Charles XII's strategical incompetence combined with half of Europe standing against us (particularly a Russian state turned tiger under Peter the Great). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well our fleet kept yours defeated throughout most of the war, making you unable to reinforce your German assets. That's something, no?
