Author	Topic:   Those mongs are so Pants!
Da Wookie	posted 3/16/03 4:32 AM     I was just thinking how weird the english are. this post is to criticize the Rnglish language (as in the language spoken in England, but not The American branch of the language.) Where did the term "Pants" come from anyways? and why does it mean something is bad? and Mong? Short for Mongouuse?
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/16/03 4:00 PM     What is a "Mogouuse" anyway?
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/17/03 1:05 PM       Hey! Listen here, Yankee-doodle! We invented the language and we'll do as we please! Given the fact that Yanks all speak some crude, misspelt, bastardised (sorry, bastardiZed) broken-English, you guys should be the last to criticise!
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/17/03 4:05 PM     Whatre ya'll talkin' 'bout, gee?
Aims	posted 3/17/03 6:07 PM       you can't generalise like that! I bet half the people in england wouldn't know what you were on about if you when around going "that's so pants!" You're ecperience of the enlish language is from a limited region, there are many more odd words used in other places that even i wouldn't understand. To be honest i don't understand what my sister says half the time.
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/17/03 9:37 PM     Or I saw a movie where you can't understand A word anybody says. Or at least I couldn't.
Darth Tine	posted 3/19/03 7:35 PM     Really? Oh that is so rude!(Or however that is said) What movie was this anyway?
Da Wookie	posted 3/20/03 0:32 AM     Listen you red-coat dogs. we didn't beat off all of you lobster-backs with a "broken" language. We have mastered and perefected the English language, while you brits are still speaking like you did in the stoneage. if ours is a broken english, then how come we are the most powerful nation on the plabet? (for now.)
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/20/03 4:43 AM     Technically, we're the most ADVANCED nation on the planet. In think somebody like China with their population of 1 billion, and with their Nukes....
Da Wookie	posted 3/20/03 2:58 PM     Hey! We have nukes too! and we have a real air force. what does china have, anyway? a couple of beat up migs? we have the most advanced AND powerful military on the planet.
iloveyouiknow	posted 3/20/03 4:47 PM     ...and that's all that matters.
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/20/03 5:40 PM       1. The British Empire was responsible for spreading the English language around the world, including your crummy continent and, although it's long gone now - also semi-reincarnated in the form of the Commonwealth, the Empire once covered a quarter of the world's surface and about the same percentage of the planet's population swore loyalty to the British monarch, so show a little respect. 2. America is definately one of the most powerful nations in the world but, please remember, not exactly one of the most loved. 3. Your army is the best equipped but among the most illdisciplined and badly-led rabbles in the world. Most US forces subsequently now have to be trained either using British training methods or trained by members of Her Majesty's Armed Forces DIRECTLY (a lot of your officers attend the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, if they're good enought to get in). 4. Much of your weaponry and technology was designed in the UK and sold to you by British companies (i.e. British Aerospace). 5. You damned Yanks never lift a finger in any international situation unless a) we're there to hold your hands (like now) and b) even then, only if you have some narrow agenda of your own. It should also be noted that during the Afghan War the US failed in their primary objective of capturing Bin Laden and, in fact, apart from removing the Taleban (for now), all you guys did was bomb a wedding and kill a few Canadians (so-called 'friendly' fire that Yanks seem so keen on). This is a stupid argument so I suggest people stop using this forum to vent typical American arrogance, which has nothing to do with Star Wars. God, and you call the English pompous!
Darth Tine	posted 3/20/03 6:36 PM     (rage plays over my face and my hands are clenched tight) Why you.... (gasp) Good fer nuthin'.... Little piece of...IMPERIAL SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!! Where would the English be without us? Ok. so you'd probably be better off. But that's beside the point. We have our good points too!!! Like... um... yeah like.... Ok so I can't think of anything just now...(Kidding!) But you have to admit Andy that you are just as arrogant as we are(if not more). True... it's four to one, but you go off on those mile long essays all about the wonders of your country and the falts of ours. And all of us Americans are too lazy to reciprocate. Or we just have better things to do. Personaly, my respect for the British just went way up when the house of Commons voted to support war. Or whatever they did. So right now you guys are pretty cool.
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/20/03 7:37 PM     Listen, GMA! We don't need a disciplined army because we have missiles we can launch from a 100 miles away and hit within 50 feet of their target. Why do we nedd discipline when we can just blow everything up? Plus, we have better education.(at least spelling)
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/20/03 10:56 PM       Hey, look, if you guys can't take it then don't dish it out. You started this thread to mock the English and now you're getting all tetchy. Every country has its good points and bad points, strengths and weaknesses, causes for great pride and, sometimes, great shame but, above all, no one (ally or not) mocks my country with impunity and, when you do, rest assured you can expect nothing less than for me to argue with you relentlessly and to the hilt! England, indeed the whole of the United Kingdom, is a great, great nation with a proud and rich historical and cultural ancestry which I will defend with every last breath in my body. I would have thought that, in the present climate, this would be understood - especially by Americans.
Darth Tine	posted 3/21/03 5:41 PM     Um... What are we supposed to understand? I just didn't get that part. And for the record, I don't really get very um, "tetchy" when you start insulting us. I just start laughing my head off because you are so Good at it! But just in case someone does start getting offended, let's insult someone else. Anyone got any good New York insults? Or how about some French? California and Texas are good too.
Da Wookie	posted 3/21/03 7:54 PM     I have a question for you GMA. isn't England a province of Ireland? or when you stand in the tallest tower in london, can you see all four sides of your Island? I heard a funny joke. what's the difference between the English and the French? Answer: the English Channel.
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/21/03 8:05 PM     Hey, any Americans who watch TV: Have you ever noticed how, now that the WTC towers went down, all the advertisements you see are based in Chicago now?
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/22/03 3:34 PM       While on vacation in a foreign land, an American happened to chance upon a curious store. The sign outside read: "Brains for Sale". Intrigued, he went inside and began to wander about its premises. On the shelves he found a variety of brains. A Chinese brain was priced at $0.95/lb.; a Russian brain at $1.49/lb.; a French brain at $2.89/lb.; and an English brain at $4.99/lb. However, he did not see an American brain. After a while of searching he found one. He was amazed by its price: $89.99/lb!!! Filled with pride, the American exclaimed to the store attendant: "I see that the American brain is the most valuable!" To this the attendant replied: "Sir, do you have any idea how many Americans it takes to produce a pound of brains?"
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/22/03 4:52 PM     It takes so many Americans to produce a Lb. of brains because are brains are more lightweight and advanced then yours.
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/22/03 5:27 PM       How many American tourists does it take to change a light bulb? Fifteen. Five to figure out how much the bulb costs in the local currency, four to comment on "how funny-looking" local lightbulbs are, three to hire a local person to change the bulb, two to take pictures, and one to buy postcards in case the pictures don't come out.
Darth Tine	posted 3/22/03 10:23 PM     He's just sore because the state I live in is bigger than his whole country.
Da Wookie	posted 3/23/03 1:25 AM     face it Andy. as long as it's all of us against you, there's no way that you can win. plus the fact that the English NEVER win against the Americans.
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/23/03 1:52 PM       You poor fools. I've already won. Every time you open your mouths you prove me right! 1. Like you say, the English were already outnumbered in this argument and, now, with Aims gone, I'm flying solo - yet you still set up a thread specifically to pick on us. Therefore, theory of US as world-bully - vindicated. 2. DDD claims "are brains are more lightweight and advanced than yours" - well then surely you'd know the difference between 'are' and 'our'. 3. "the state I live in is bigger than his whole country" - apart from the fact that you're not taking into account Her Majesty's other Realms and Territories, overseas colonies and Crown dependencies, the American obsession with size... I think Sigmund Freud said enough about that to make what I'm thinking ACADEMIC. :-) I love you guys!
Da Wookie	posted 3/23/03 9:30 PM     1.) actually I started this thread when aims was hear and I just wanted to make fun of your slang terms, not the people. 2.) Sigmund Freud's have been proven wrong again and again. while many of his theory were accurate, many have also been refuted.
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/23/03 9:36 PM     Ahem... GMA, the US isn't a bully! Only it's people are. Plus we have cooler skyscrapers than you do. If you even have any skyscrapers in England.
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/24/03 3:47 PM       1. I studied Freud. I hate him. But I think he was right about obsessions with size being linked to the phallus. 3. We have a few skyscrapers - Canary Wharf being the largest (still small, however, by American standards - I shan't suggest, again, that Americans are 'compensating'). However, this is no bad thing because I HATE skyscrapers. I think they're hideous. We have such more wonderful architecture in the form of St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament), Caernarfon Castle, Chatsworth, and all the other stately homes of England. Indeed, the campus I study at is the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, designed by Sir Christopher Wren. You guys, however, do have a few nice buildings - the Empire State Building being my favourite. I have to give you that one. Let's stop bickering now. It's pointless and rather tiresome. You might find it amusing to giggle at the way we do certain things but I find it extremely insulting and offensive so, unless you're deliberately out to offend me, I suggest we call it quits here. I think I've established that you guys wouldn't don't like being made fun of so let's leave it at that.
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/25/03 3:58 PM     Alright. I we were joking about all that stuff anyway. (at least I was)
Darth Tine	posted 3/26/03 5:22 PM     Yeah me too. Um, so we've established that GMA does not like his country being insulted. I personaly don't usually care when you insult Americans, everybody does it anyway (They're just jealous i'm sure). But now what are we supposed to do with this topic?
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/26/03 8:44 PM       Quite frankly, I don't care. Keep trashing Brits if you like but don't get all funny when I come on, justifiably narked, and post a few home truths about the good ole' USA. As I said, if you can't take it, don't dish it out. Otherwise, do what you like. The irony of all this is that I spend half my time here at university defending the US from all the anti-American lefties and socialists on the Students' Union. I'm very pro the Anglo-American alliance and a firm believer in the Realpolitik tradition of a 'balance of power', which presently lies with the US. I am a strong critic of the EU and the proposed European Army and have been quoted as saying "If our so-called European partners are prepared to invest the kind of money in defending Europe that America presently does then I'll rethink my stance but, as it stands, France and Germany would not be my choice of allies. If we change our currency to anything it should be the dollar, not the Euro!" However, don't let that make you think I'm not going to get annoyed when Americans swagger around talking down to me! People like ILIK getting all personal, well, I think it's childish and sad and proves my point that he's an arrogant hot-head who's too stuck up and stupid to apologise for his offensive remarks.
Darth Tine	posted 3/27/03 7:29 PM     Ugh!! Men!!! You two are both arrogant hot-heads as far as I'm concerned! One too stuck-up to apologize,the other too stuck-up and miffed to just let it pass. And don't go blameing ILYK for all your problems, GMA, ILYK's partly at falt here too, but it is YOUR problem. ILYK should apologize and YOU should forgive him whether he has apologized or not. And that is all that I am going to say about it. If you guys can't make up than that's your problem. It just shows how immature people can really be.(OK. so maybe I'm a little upset. But I'm sure that Aims would agree with me. It's kinda wierd that I'm trying to make you two make-up. My femaleness is showing again.)
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/27/03 11:48 PM     Darth Tine's a girl?
iloveyouiknow	posted 3/28/03 6:42 AM     HE said it! Not me! (Although I did think it...)
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/28/03 9:08 PM     I'm an idiot and should never have insulted my sister. You see I am only an immature child, blind to the ways of my betters. You should all be patient with me for I have a long way to grow before I reach the high standard of intelligence and wisdom that my sister has set. Although I sincerly doubt that I will ever reach such a level, because a mere mortal such as myself is incapable of the perfection that my sister( Darth Tine) holds. I shall now shut my stupid mouth, but before I do I must implore all of you to show Darth Tine the respect that she is entitled to.
Derris	posted 3/28/03 9:16 PM     Hmm... Something seems wrong with the above statement. Maybe its because Darth Tine posted as DDD? Very curious...
iloveyouiknow	posted 3/28/03 9:52 PM     She has a history of doing that....
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/28/03 10:16 PM       Are Tine and DDD siblings? Hmmm, I should have known.
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/28/03 11:13 PM     Along with Da Wookie and Derris.
Darth Tine	posted 3/29/03 11:36 PM     Who are you talking about? Me? I am completly innocent, of course. Why you would lay such terrible accusations against me, I cannot imagine.
iloveyouiknow	posted 3/30/03 6:02 AM     I can.
Darth Tine	posted 3/30/03 8:43 PM     That's only because you have a sick and twisted mind.
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/30/03 11:15 PM     Tine, only YOU would complement yourself by posting as another person.
iloveyouiknow	posted 3/31/03 6:14 PM     Do you know anybody else that would complement Tine?
Da Wookie	posted 4/16/03 4:19 PM     She actually doesn't look that bad when compared to the english. (just kidding). I happen to know that DDD is VERY smart. He is probably much more intelligent than Darth Tine. All I know is while he may have the brains, he DEFINATLY does not have the looks
Dark Death Dude	posted 4/16/03 5:49 PM     I'm absoultely touched.
Darth Tine	posted 4/18/03 0:35 AM     Da Wookie, only someone with your limited intellect could ever even CONSIDER that DDD has more brains than me, when it is so obvious that he does not.
Darth Tine	posted 4/25/03 4:47 PM       The French got mad at the Americans for some resaon or other and decided that they wanted to get rid of them. So they through some dynamite over the Atlantic ocean. The Americans lit it and threw it back.
iloveyouiknow	posted 4/25/03 10:25 PM     I bet the French can spell better than Darth Tine though.....not that it matters in the grand scheme........I'll bet Vader couldn't spell well either.....
Darth Tine	posted 4/29/03 10:52 PM     Shut up. You should be nice to me, I was my birthday when I wrote that! And as I remember.... YOU didn't get me anything. bad bad boy.
Dark Death Dude	posted 4/30/03 2:17 AM     I didn't get you anything either!
Da Wookie	posted 6/20/03 3:57 PM     Sorry, there was just one post left, so I had to finish it. (Even though this topic has been sitting idle for over a month)
