Silliness ensues to this day I suppose. Interesting stuff though. Seems like if you want to insult sailors that "Bring me the cabin boy" might be more of an insult. Although I will note that in both cases the presence of fruit is indicated.Back in the days of world exploration and navy's on wooden boats, a Scottish doctor discovered that due to a lack of vitamin C, sailors were dying of scurvy. He found that lemon juice helped. The American sailors laughed, so they kept dying. Then the British sailors found that lime juice was much better. The American sailors eventually moved up to lemons, didn't die out as much, and called the British limeys as an insult.
But the Americans were slow on the uptake and stuck with Lemons.
So yeah, the odd nut case around here likes to use Limeys, thinking it's an insult, but they're just lemons. They have a low IQ.
To some, things that happened hundreds of years ago are important. Some want to ride on the coat-tails of ancestors, and omit or bend the crap bits. Maybe their current situation is lacking, so they need to bolster themselves?Silliness ensues to this day I suppose. Interesting stuff though.

I don't have it handy, I read it in a history book decades ago, but here is another quote from Rommel on the same point: "In Tunisia the Americans had to pay a stiff price for their experience, but it brought rich dividends. Even at that time, the American generals showed themselves to be very advanced in the tactical handling of their forces, although we had to wait until the Patton Army in France to see the most astonishing achievements in mobile warfare."Was that at El Alamein?
I'd love to see that quote. Got it handy?
No that was all over the Western Desert. A Boy Scout leader could have defeated the Afrika Korps at El Alamein. Monty was right on top of his supply points, had Rommel outnumbered 150,000 to 96,000 in troops, 1,114 to 585 in tanks, 1,500 to 500 in aircraft and 1,000+ to less than 500 in artillery and anti-tank guns. Rommel was at the very end of his supply line, very short of fuel and munitions with his supply line under continual air attack and the 8th Army had no flanks to turn. Rommel was forced to make frontal attacks against superior numbers equipped with superior tanks and supplies.Was that at El Alamein?

Someone who takes responsibility for his own safety and that of those around him, not ceding that responsibility to the State, which rarely shows up on time.Could you explain to me what a good guy is please?
When you see me on a British message board believing my opinion matters, feel free to call me out.See. You can't have your cake and eat it. I will measure you guys to the same standard you measure others. If you don't like it, then stop it.
When someone points out a truth about Britain, Cappy calls it a cliche and refuses to deal with it.Not a cliche, just true. Why should we expect to protect a nation bent on its own destruction, who clearly hates us, and has absolutely nothing to offer us?
It's not voluntary if you're threatening people with government violence.A door to door seizure is unlikely. There are much safer, and easier ways. Like suspending drivers liscences, freezing bank accounts, and placing leins on properties. Amongst many others that can be applied to force compliance and facilitate a voluntary hand over.
I agree. I'm just putting forward a more realistic idea of what a gun grab would look like should the government ever go that route.It's not voluntary if you're threatening people with government violence.
Good Gaea, leftists sure do love iron boots and brown shirts.
This is America. Fuck off with that shit.
