As a Boston Red Sox fan I loathe being called a Yankee.  :mad:
With you being a Boston Red Sox fan, I loathe calling you human.  So I won't.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

While I hate the Yankees as well I think they are going to have a good season,  Granderson is an upgrade over Damon and their pitching looks as good as it did last year, if Mo can hold up.

Not many people here will have sympathy, but I am sometimes struck by an absolute trembling hatred

I agree.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It is a bit confusing and annoying that all Americans are 'Yanks' to a lot of foreigners

I think it is awesome.  Screw the people still fighting the Civil War.

Yankee.

Also, this is the proof that Lettow is in fact nothing more then a god damn emo kid. Worse than me.

Do you shake IN FURIOUS ANGER at their mere thought of Wolfe?

Of course not. France had for all intent and purposes abandoned Nouvelle-France. Wolfe victory isn't that significant anyway.

If we're talking about Wolfe the poster. Then yes of course, fucking impersonator.

Don't try to defend them. They never intended for Nouvelle France to be nothing more then a prestige act when that backfired they abandoned it. Typical French.

I am not defending them, that is a line from a letter Montcalm got back from Paris in response to a letter he sent requesting more troops.

Good point, so.. let me rephrase

Airport, Aircraft Carrier, Currency and Failed assassination attempt, pick any three.

Grrrr

Airport, Aircraft Carrier, Currency and Returning to Civilian life, pick any three.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
