  1. Guy Fawkes did have a go in 1605. Admittedly a long time ago, but remembered every year on November 5th.
  2. Not sure why you consider it relevant ? Do you feel threatened or turned on.
  3. Don't worry, I'm sure the average will rise when many of the Asean now posters leave.
  4. Whereas you lot have problems remembering your 250 years of history, the rest of us examine world history over millennia.
  5. All you can do is insult. I remember the facts of what happened, seek the info online and input before you ask for proof. I'm not going to type tons of info just to educate you
  6. If you lose the card they can quickly scan the footage of where you entered. If they have number plate recognition technology it's very easy
  7. The Continental Congress established the Secret Committee of Correspondence to publicize the American cause in Europe, particularly in France. Benjamin Franklin, a well-known figure in Europe, was sent to Paris to negotiate with the French government. His celebrity status and diplomatic skills were instrumental in securing French assistance. While France was eager to see Britain weakened, King Louis XVI was initially hesitant about formally recognizing the American rebellion due to concerns about the potential impact on his own monarchy. Before a formal alliance, France provided covert support, including arms and supplies, through figures like Pierre Beaumarchais. The Treaty of Alliance, signed in 1778, formalized the Franco-American alliance, committing both nations to mutual defense and providing crucial military and financial aid to the Americans. France committed significant resources to the American Revolution, including warships, soldiers, and financial aid. French naval support and troops, particularly at the Battle of Yorktown, were critical to the American victory. The French alliance and support were vital to the American victory in the Revolutionary War.
  8. And in other breaking news, Trump says, 'we've bombed Fordo, it's Hobbiton and middle earth next.'
  9. Would that be the same stone that Trump dumped the JCPOA in 2018? There was a treaty in place during his first presidency.
  10. You've obviously never heard of peaceful demonstration, impeachment and democracy.
  11. Inane comment. I have very few heroes, and do not consider any country heroic. Before you throw any more baseless slurs based on wrong assumptions, my sister is currently being evacuated from the American embassy in Beirut.
  12. It is the act of a chicken/coward/bully to drop bombs on a technologically and militarily inferior nation. A brave man would engage in talk to address problems between sworn enemies, rather than endanger the lives of innocent American citizens around the world.
  13. Where did my post mention violence, or call for it? Is that the only form of govt change you recognise, Jan 6 style? Some 250 years ago you overthrow a mad king, seems things have gone full circle. I will not stoop to your level and finish with some weird comment about mommy and twinkle. Very strange.
  14. If it wasn't for the French, America would sill be a British colony. Show some respect!
  15. Very true, and the world is hoping for the overthrow of the Trump regime!
  16. That's the reason they overturned Roe v Wade. So many school shootings they were running out of targets!
  17. Wanna bet, this ASEAN now! The forum for people who have Olympic gold medals in jumping to conclusions.
  18. Yup, America does have some problems!
  19. True.....but he was British!
