Over the United States in the Oympics. Thier claiming they beat us with thier 82 medals. Of course it took 26 countries to do it!! USA..USA..USA..USA

 

thought we had like 103 medals?

 

It's funny how the EU thinks that all of a sudden they matter...

 

What the hell is the EU?!

 

depends on whom you ask.

According to France and Germany it's them with the other small countries along for the ride.


Its just further proof that France and Germany are trying to rise to superpower status again.

I was being sarcasitic... thus the little devil guy.

 

What website did you go and pull that from...

 

Between the history channel & the internet, anyone can be a know-it-all smartarse just like me!

I actually did know what the EU was. I was too lazy to prove I really did, so the 'ol cut-n-paste was the solution.

 

I know you did, my comment was a smart-aleck poke at France and Germany (for the anti-US stance they have been taking these past few years)

That and they do seem to want to be the voice of the EU

 

Boy, we just can't stay on the same page, can we?

Your right, France & Germany are getting big(ger) heads these days...

 

I think we can agree to disagree and then move on to bigger and better things.

And the France/Germany things kind of scares me.



And I just want to clear 1 thing up. I didn't call you a know-it-all. I called you a Doctor.



In hindsight, I was a little aggresive in my response to you. I thought you were being a bit insensitive, but that doesn't excuse me taking a shot at you. I apologize. Can we move on?

 

Don't worry about takin that shot, it was just. I type rather freely as to what's on my mind at that peticular moment in time. I can/have/will rub folks the wrong way from time to time. I know it. I also know I need a smack upside the head from time to time.

I apologize for getting snotty with this thread and hijackin' it.

It was ConcreteGuy that called me the know-it-all.

Oh, and I enjoy your posts!

 

I hope in a serious way... and not as comic relief!





glad to know that we're both big enough to make the peace and get on with more important things!

 

HA! I really did mean it seriously. Normally your right, it would have been comic felief!

 

the 4th Reich....
