British History Lessons
by Utopian Reformist in
1. jw
2. friends
i desparately tried to avoid this thread about anglo & american superiority.

i truly did, until i read the "poppycock" about the british war efforts in the last century.. perhaps anglophiles should refresh their ancient and modern memories a bit before launching such laughable tirades of triviality and supposed triumph.. first, did not the english employ mercenaries during the battle of hastings to win the 100 years war?

(since "expatbrit" is correcting me--i am modifying this)-- excuse me for my trivial error).

LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER
by You Know in
1. jw
2. friends
perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.
