Country: | I'm not saying it in jest, come on, Eagle. You want the smelly little islands back, come 'n' take 'em back. No point in sitting there crying about it, come and take them! Or is that you don't want your arses kicked again?
The Glorious British Empire ruled more than your poxy little sh*thole islands, they're just a drop in our Empire. But you STILL couldn't take them back.

| Plan_D, with that post you are only showing what kind of person you are, and how little knowledges or excuses you have to defend seriously your country's ideals. Sorry to the other members, I won't answer to this man. |

Country: | No, with that post, I'm saying you and your country can't do sh*t to take those islands back. You tried once and failed. You should take a lesson off our other Argentinian member and stop crying about the Falklands. 'Cos we kicked your ass, just like Britian kicked the vast majority of planet's ass. In modern terms, and in literal terms ...we f*ckin' owned you.
There's no hiding the fact that Britain ruled over one third of the globe. We don't try 'n' hide it. 'Cos it was just f*ckin' damn good. The only reason the rest of the world cries about it is 'cos they wish they had an empire that big in their history.

Country: | Excuse me, Britain burnt down Washington. I've noticed that Americans seem to forget, the Treaty of Ghent was signed before the Battle of New Orleans. It's pretty obvious Great Britain didn't care much for the war, as we were obviously winning. The War of 1812 was a British victory. America started the war because of Britain pressing American sailors into the Royal Navy, and they wanted Canada. They didn't take Canada, and Britain had stopped attacking American vessels before the war even started. Britain had pushed the American forces from the Great Lakes to New Orleans, how is that a tie!?

Country: | If people forget, hussars, please refresh our memories. And in no way was that a sarcastic request.
Adler, one of the many reasons for the War of 1812 was War Hawks in the U.S congress wanted Canada. Feel free to look it up.
