As Bugs said before, the main reason the English went on a worldwide rampage is because of all the genes in the population we acquired from several different invading hoardes.

Genetic cross-mixing created the ultimate global invader. The "side effects" (desire for cucumber sandwiches being one) were unfortunate.

Rampage? "ultimate global invader"?

in terms of square miles of territory our Empire must surely have been the biggest in history. Australia, Canada and India are all pretty huge.

I'm not sure if it was much of a 'rampage', though.

"They get the basic trolling in, and come up with good opening gambits, but are still not getting the blazing "you are such a moron" response. "

Not really, I have gotten much, much worse than that from Paiktis- see my sig. Paiktis makes many attempts to try to get Americans upset, but all he is able to do is induce laughing. But then, he is laughably easy as a troll-target. He also doesn't know how to troll effectively either, he just goes over the top in making inflammatory posts that destroy his credibility.

The Brits like to pretend they are ok with the fact that they can't produce a sportsman worth his pay, but if you insult Beckham or that little weeney tennis player of theirs look out. They'll be spurning you at social occasions in no time (or whatever it is they do when their upset).

I like Beckham, but Henman (the weenie tennis player) is the most annoying person in the country. The guy himself is OK, but the hysteria he seems to generate here makes me want to strangle people.

The hysteria is only during Wimbledon too. For the rest of the year people wouldn't care if he lived or died, but for two weeks in July he is idolised. That makes no sense. At least the love/hatred of Beckham is consistent.

Well Paiktis just said:

"

Not the exact words, mind you, but still the same insult (moron) you said we weren't producing! A milestone for American trolling!

quote: I think the problem is that America, being such a diverse place, will inevitably produce a far more varied amount of responses, making effective "bandwagon" trolling impossible. Unlike the filthy Eurocom states, wherein racial superiority and cultural monolithism reign supreme, America is beyond such automaton-like consensus-building. We're also much less likely to get behind a leader, unlike the slavish Euros who love to goosestep to fascist or monarchal types. Our brand of American independence is quite the opposite of your willingness to kiss blueblood arse.

thank god there's no large asian community here-- goosestepping to authoritarian types, racial superiority, cultural monolithism reign supreme, automaton-like consensus-building...
