Even though we haven't really accomplished much of anything in the last 50 or so years either, that doesn't stop us from wallowing in delusion and fantasy. Nope. We've managed to morph the nightmare of Viet Nam into a Hollywood cash-cow while our Orwellian masters subtly change history so it seems we left both voluntarily and honorably. Of course it helps when the majority of our populace are mouth-breathing morons.<BR/><BR/>Be more ignorant. Be more American.<BR/><BR/>Ook ook.The Fez Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032327740040303468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-9327832079617577392007-07-05T19:27:00.000+01:002007-07-05T19:27:00.000+01:00"I don't think there are too many countries that l..."I don't think there are too many countries that like to 'celebrate' their defeats."<BR/><BR/>Hell, ours doesn't even <I>admit</I> them!Koshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635717176794202612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-65853780058126154632007-07-05T07:49:00.000+01:002007-07-05T07:49:00.000+01:00I guess that's correct*, but I don't think Britain...I guess that's correct*, but I don't think Britain is <I>unusual</I> in this -- I don't think there are too many countries that like to 'celebrate' their defeats. <BR/><BR/>As an example: Does anyone think there'll ever be a 'Iraq Day' (commemorating the glorious events currently underway in that country)in either the USA or the UK?. I guess it's only natural to not enjoy being reminded of how you got your ass/arse (delete as appropriate) handed to you on a plate. <BR/><BR/>* Although it was America Day at my work (in London) yesterday. It was officially 'Burger Day'. The Fourth of July can come <I>more</I> than once a year as far as I'm concerned! :)Cheezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176170186766506070noreply@blogger.com
