Before you call other people ignorant you should get your facts straight.


The Iran-Iraq war was originally called "The Persian Gulf War". However, "The Second Persian Gulf War" was renamed because American pride couldn't cope with being second.

The movie "The madness of King George" was originally titled - based on the play - "the madness of George III".
The reason it was changed, was that 'muricans would think it to be a sequel.

Nope, I'm not kidding

The name change was not so much that III was dropped, it was more that 'King' had to be added.

The oldest city in the U.S. is Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Most of New Orleans is below the level of the Mississippi and is not flooded only because of the city's levies.

In Ronald Reagan's landslide victory of 1980, he got 25% the registered vote.

yeah with those hips, if we are still talking about the hairless Klum, I mean the baby has to be small or choke in the way out.

Did you guys know I almost choked when I was born? Yes it's true.. I was 2 weeks in the hospital, and I came out yellow! Yellow like my Asian brothers! Well they're not actually yellow by bare with me. I had high fever, very high, and I was almost guaranteed dier (that's not an actual word but bare with me) but what happened? I didn't die! I actually came out of that as a strong baby. I was such a strong baby, that I was the only one the fat bastard in the kindergarten didn't mess with. So I was righteous from the beginning, getting respect, but wouldn't use my advantege for bad deeds. I also remember I had my first girlfriend there, so I was a player from the get go. That's what I am ultimately, I'm a go getter and a get goer. You pass me the puck and I'll score. If we don't have a puck, I'll make one and pass it to you. But if you change the team, I will strike you down. That's the rules, ain't nothing wrong with the rules so you just bare with me there.

But not making a complete threadjack, every American should know.... .... hmm. They should know the story above.

Oh yeah?

quote:
St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest continuously settled city in the United States. It is located 38 miles southeast of Jacksonville. The Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon, in search of the legendary Fountain of Youth, landed there in 1513 and took possession of the territory for Spain.

Some, however, would argue that this country's oldest city is San Juan in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. de Leon founded a settlement at Caparra (which was later moved to San Juan's current location) five years before he reached St. Augustine. So although Puerto Rico is the oldest city under U.S. jurisdiction, most people consider St. Augustine the country's oldest city.



Yes, there have been several indian villages there before, but Santa Fe was not settled until 1607.

It does, however, boast the oldest public building in America, the Palace of Governors.

ACK!
