A few questions to SBG&DHY
1) What's the tallest building in the world?
2) What's the most watched sporting event in the world?
3) Why do American Football players wear padding to play Rugby?

Re: Whats the rudest thing that's been said to you?
This is great.
The sad thing is, he is only verifying the stereotypes about the country, the armed forces and the government here.
On a side note about World War 2. I was reading an interesting article a while ago, they had a bunch of military strategy experts from various countries who had analysed the strategies of every country all throughout the war and thy all came back and said if America hadn't joined the war the outcome would have been the same but it would have been over around 2 years earlier. Now you can't be sure of that and it's all opinion but it does raise the whole who helped who argument. I'll have to see if I can find the article.

1) Tallest building is the Taipei 101 1670ft (tallest tower Petronas Towers 1 & 2 @ 1483ft)
2) I'd guess Soccer (football)
3) Because they can.

I remember it now but I didn't realise it went on for so long. I realised she was an absolute fruitcake when she posted a photo of herself on the first thread.

F***ing hypocrite.

The brainwashing in the forces still works I see. :scared:Mr U.S Marine Corps,open your mind to the world because there is one outside your shores.
From first hand experience I have never felt the U.S and UK Forces have worked particularly well together,there are some vastly differing ways of dealing with things between the two.
This is not a slur on either of the well trained and professional set of Forces but there really are some fundamental differences.
