  Thing is, the Soviets did most during WW2, miles more than anyone.

  It's true. But, in the end, our influence was a big help in changing the tide.

  Fact is, if we'd have waited any longer to enter WWII, we would have had to invade England to run the Germans outta there. Wow its been...let me see..at least a couple of days since this ridiculo(u)s nonsense was last peddled!!

  I understand that was one of Churchill's few regrets, too.

  That having been said, both Napoleon and Hitler broke their armies on Moscow!

  So how did you lucky b*st*rds get Hawaii???

  lets see ....England is England

  Britain is England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland or is that the UK when lumped together..

  the Republic of Ireland is seperate ?

  Britain is the island on which England, Scotland and Wales are to be found. The term "UK" is actually short for "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

  To expand on this "Northern Ireland" is the term used for the six counties of the island of Ireland that are still under British rule (largely because the descendants of British invaders there outnumber the natives). The ownership of these six counties is, to say the least, hotly disputed. The rest of the island is the Republic of Ireland, an independent country since 1922.

  The whole of Great Britain, Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and a few other lumps of rock (sorry, LittleToe) are known geographically as the British Isles, although this can sometimes cause offence (to those inhabitants who are not British and don't want to be) and alternative terms such as the "Islands of the North Atlantic" (IONA) or "the Anglo-Celtic Archipelago" are sometimes used.

  passes Englishman a tall glass of Newcastle in honor of the past history of cooperation between the US and the UK and for the British contribution to the exposition of the Watchtower's lies. Cheers!

  Ah, Britain*

  Our histories are intertwined.

  We have much affection between us.

  Yes, ours' has been a tumultuous love affair but

  why must we quarrel?

  Let us, instead, embrace one another and tolerate

  each others' foibles.

  Sigh.

  If memory serves, we traded the native King of Hawaii a bucket fried chicken and a 1/2 of beer for Hawaii.... Next someone will tell me it was stolen from the British, English, ah United Kingdom...whoever Captain Cook worked for.......
