But I assure you, if there was ever a serious war on American soil, Americans would start to talk about peace on a serious level. When it gets bad enough, the people will change.

It took Hiroshima and Nagasaki for Japan to call for an end to the war. What will it take for America to stop?


Peace,

HUM..
American Revolution
War of 1812

Yeah the war of independence, war of 1812, Mexican American War, or "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" never happened.

Too funny, of course I never said all. And as I pointed out, until I came along and educated you, you had no idea the calculation was made differently. But keep ankle biting. It is truly fun watching you writh and wriggle!

Cheers!

Well done!
Just like yours.

You are the one who has no idea what you are talking about. You know why?

To every single poster on this thread who has refuted you, you simply respond with a remark like "you have no idea what you are talking about". You can only say that so many times and to so many different people that it ultimately just makes you look like one who doesn't know what you are talking about. Either that, or you are just incapable of understanding things from other peoples viewpoints.
Still kind of wanting your take on this post shorebaby, since you stand so adamantly with your belief that third parties increase the cost of healthcare. This has proven to not be the case in every other developed country in the world, where the third party is in most cases the government. It is only the case in America, where the third party happens to be for-profit insurance companies.

Too funny, you still don't get that the countries report their calculations to WHO. But I shouldn't be surprised since you had no idea any of this existed until I taught you. Now who owned who?

Cheers!

That's all quite a long time ago. Americans don't remember what it's like to have their own country in ruins. Thus the horror at 9/11.
In Europe on the other hand they still have to defuse bombs from WWII even today. The memory is much fresher.

Ironic post since the topic concerns Europe's bewilderment.
