It's not that I don't appreatiate history, it's that I have no desire to listen to them.

You're a bit of a dumbass though, Bitwise, most of what is said in them would go right over your head.

The hell? You didn't create the United States, you got your ass kicked by a bunch of smelly rebels that revolted against your will.

So then we DID create the United States. If we hadn't treated the rebels in such a way that caused them to revolt they wouldn't have created the United States.

We created ourselves by freeing us form your grasp. VIVA LA REVOLUCION! BABABABANG!

and what % begin with "my fellow americans..."

i can't imagine a brit politician starting off saying "my fellow britons..." but then that may be something to do with the mixture of disdain, contempt and fear with which your average uk politician views the people they govern

Bitwise is so dumb he once created a thread to pat himself on the back for figuring out that he could cook food ahead of time and store it in a container to eat later.

And yeah, I know what you're thinking.. Why the hell have I got a link to an obscure random thread from 12 months ago? Well, when that thread was made, I saved the link in my favourites because it made me laugh so much, I had to keep going back.
