What?

Oh, man, I may have pulled something laughing so hard. Dude, you really don't have a clue.

Ok, what I meant was he feigns an intelligent conversation.

Nope, still wrong. You get one more try before being demoted to the OOT.

No, it was more down to Napoleon being too confident because he had the better technology. It's a common mistake to make. Hitler did it. And so did you Smiley: wink

Heh, you may be right.

Ok, so I change my stance to technology is a strong factor ^^v

hmmm, of course there are other factors that can help speed things up. I really cant think of any instance where someone had superior technology and lost. I am being honest here (no sarcasm), can anyone think of a time when someone had the technology behind them and lost (and it wasnt due to the case I mentioned, just an overwhelming amount of opposing troops).

Napoleon lost to England, more specifically, Welsley, despite more troops and better technology. He lost out to better training and superior tactics.

Hmm, I was under the impression that he lost to Russia due to him attacking Russia during the winter, and it was his undoing.

Which I guess has less to do with Russian technology and relies moreso on Napoleon's general idiocy of not being prepared.

Splitting his forces was definitely part of it, but he still outnumbered the English and had them out gunned.

I know. Liberal Democrats tend to fall in love with homicidal mass murdering dictators frequently; mao, saddam, castro, stalin.

Dude, one democrat says they admire how a dictator took power - and, like it or not, moral or not (just like how Rove did his thing) it is impressive - you somehow paint every democrat with loving some mass murder? I would love to live in your world, for just one day.

Hey, you didnt answer my question from before: care to call Jefferson a Commie, or are you running from that realization?

Man, I hate that song. Nothing in the song is actually ironic XD I wonder if that counts for cosmic irony in and of itself though.

If you have a point you'd save time to just get right to it.

He already made the point, but because of your selective reading, you missed it. Reread the thread, Liberace.

I did. You seem hell bent on calling people out for being Commies if they are against big business - you have somehow intertwined capitalism and America, and while it was true that some of the fathers pictured this (I think Hamilton did) it certainly wasnt the cingular vision for the country - and wasnt heralded from someone as important as Jefferson. Jefferson was fully against business, he warned of "monied corporations" taking power and corrupting our country, and made the "merchants have no country" statement (he thought we should be a country of yeomen and small farmers). Would you care to call a founding father - in fact, the one that pretty much wrote the Declaration of Independence - a Commie for his solid anti-business beliefs, which echo many liberals problems with business today?

As to why - I just want to hear you call one of the top 5 people at the birth of the country a Commie. It will make me chuckle to hear the sheer awesomeness of a staunch conservative such as yourself shÃtting on the author of the Declaration of Independence.

Yes. He actually admitted in another thread earlier, that he only reads 50% of what's posted. Mostly, he just skips to whatever leads into one of his GOP sound bites.

First off, even I know that Abraham Lincoln wasn't one of the 5 most important people at the founding of your country, and I'm not from your country.

Secondly, now we know what your issue is. You're still upset that the South lost. You're not pro-America. You're anti-America. You want it broken into 2 separate countries. Why do you hate your country so much?

Ok here ya go...Abraham Lincoln was a commie who ignored the constitution so that northern states could exert control over southern states.

Originally the plan was to swap after a certain increment of time and give the south control, but then everyone got so comfortable in their roles.

Not really. The Spanish conquest began in 1519 and ended successfully in 1521. Two years is too short for any germ warfare strategy to take hold.

No, the native populations had already been ravaged by diseases spread through earlier explorers and then inter-tribal contact. When Cortes began his exploration in 1519, he found vast regions virtually depopulated and abandoned. It wasn't intentional germ warfare, it was simply the effects of disease spreading unchecked through a population with few defenses.
