Country:  | Sure you are, but its not fun when you dont argue the for the British. No I am just kidding. I happen to believe that in the Naval world (what does this have to do with the topic) the US Navy has the best ships but I would agree mostly out of tradition and respect for the Royal Navy that Her Magesty has the best Naval crews.

It goes both ways ie., Radar, Carrier steam catapults and other items have come from the Brittish and improved in the US market place. Sometimes it goes the other way, which makes it work.
As Partners we rule!  Apart we'd suck wind in a lot of areas. I'm glad we are Partners! | |

| I would agree with that. Personally I am somewhat surprised Plan_D hasn't weighed in on this discussion.

Thanks, LG!!!
In fact, I agree with everything that's been said. I just hate it when Americans get too full of themselves as a super-power. There's British who do it too, I just do it when provoked.
