...for making that also sound like a bad thing.

[sup]I have no reason to be worried. I'm from the country who politely moved out, you're from the country that loudly got disowned after wanting the land for itself. (That's the Canadian view of things, anyway. It seems fairly accurate, as well.)[/sup]

...for wanting to go all political up in this thread.

[sup]Eh, maybe kind of accurate, but a little narrow don't you think? I mean, what about the whole taxation without representation bit?[/sup]

...for having hostilities with British people who had nothing to do with the political past of our countries. (*cough*Sas*cough*).

[sup]I don't know much of the American history (aside from the war of 1812) thus, my view is very narrow. Sorry. Educate me![/sup]

...for thinking it's hostility when it's more harmless jabbing in the ribs.

You likely know about the movement of Puritan exiles to America to escape religious persecution in England. Well, along with them came adventurers and fortune-seekers who managed to turn a great profit, since the land was pretty much untouched and rich in natural resources. The British tried to capitalize on that, setting up plantations and stuff, but they didn't really respect any of the rights the colonists had. The American colonists were exploited for taxes and resources, but got no representation in Parliament, which is what sparked the American Revolutionary War.

...for jabbing people in the ribs. (That hurts like hell, man!)

[sup]Ahhh... Thank you. That does sound more complicated than I had thought. But it's useful to know. Knowledge = gooooood.[/sup]

...for not being manly enough to take a few rib-jabs.

[sup]Glad I could be useful, though that's a pretty rough summary.
Well, I'm off. Must be up early in the morning.
Later.[/sup]
