I was not referring to that war - only your comment about a theoretical American revolution from France.
Bergholt Stuttley Johnson wrote: the French troops actually out numbered the american by 3:1 from what I have read
Woah! I've searched and searched and not found anything to even hint at that. I've found estimates of 200,000 American soldiers involved (50,000 killed or wounded) but only about 20,000 French soldiers / sailors.
BTW - The only estimates of British soldiers I found were 250,000 - 500,000
I'm not disregarding the help from France. Their supplies and naval help were certainly instrumental in the outcome but it nearly bankrupted them and certainly was a factor leading to their own revolution.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington

Funny but I thought hindsight was always 20-20 vision. It looks like in this case. It is more myopic for where one is from?

You will need to buy a pen first.

You can have mine. It is in mint condition. It has a very smooth texture and you barely feel it in your hand when you write. You can name it anything you want. It is the only one of its kind ever made that I bought, so it is really special. I can only sell it today as tomorrow I will be gone and unable to sell you this pen. As I bonus I will give you the ink for free if you buy now!

"Deep Green Resistance is a radical feminist organization. Men as a class are waging a war against women. Rape, battering, incest, prostitution, pornography, poverty, and gynocide are both the main weapons in this war and the conditions that create the sex-class women."
Do these people actually posess any intelligence at all?
This is the problem with democracy. Idiots like this think they have something to say.

They always want do be "treated" the same way. But they don't want all those duties men have... How will they ever achieve true equality when they don't want do thing X because it's a "men's thing"??

i myself am actually a woman and i need to say, if "Mister Merkel" is the outcome of feminism, i also need to say, [mightBeUnappropriateForKidSister] elephant/f**k feminism[/mightBeUnappropriateForKidSister]!!!
He really sucks!!!!!!!!!  
(don´t ask me about Miss(us) Seehofer [CSU Bayern] )
Everybody nees to "emancipate" him/herself. 24/7!
But noone [add]should[/add] "overshoot the mark"....
Most of the People, (me too! i guess, at least, when i/most of us hear "Emancipation", i/we always think of women, who fight for "Special women rights"...
but as i understood it:
"Emancipation" at it´s core is "Resisting against a majority as a minority", gender indepently...
just my 5 Cents...
