Do they specially edit history books in the USA to be anti-British ? And
plain WRONG ! Seems like it to me.

Well, the winner _does_ get to write the history books. ;-)

You don't look like you're winning anything at the moment I'm afraid.

Besides, the honourable Americans and many simply unconvinced by the war just
moved North to British North America (later Canada).

Well, we _did_ win the Revolution, didn't we? Ergo, we get to write
the history books. ;-)

That's a pretty limited subject area but then Americans aren't reknowned
for any interest in affairs in other parts of the world.

And we haven't forgotten you were years late into both World Wars. Until
your cosy existence was disturbed you didn't give a ****.

Your 'WE' was less then half the American population of the time. Around
45% IIRC. I guess that means the USA was founded on an undemocratic basis.

Certainly looks no different now.

Yep, and we saved your asses too... D-Day, Normandy and all that.

You're most graciously welcome.

Not that we can claim all the credit... Russian winter did much of the
work too. "Coat, dear?" "Nein, I'm fine..."

To try and bring this back to topic... I'm curious... why do you so
often recommend the LM3886, designed by an American company? Does any
European company produce a chip amp of comparable quality at
comparable cost?

Neither was I but, as I grow older, history fascinates me.

Especially the part about using the lessons taught earlier in order to
keep from falling into pitfalls which could have been avoided by paying
attention to the past.

Not as though WE Poor Unwashed Masses can do anything about not
repeating the Vietnam war all over again... (whoops, did I say that
out loud?)

History may repeat itself yet again...

If in doubt, you should read the book of the holy Ronald. He said
something like "the meaning of the history lessons is that they are been
forgotten".

The British asses weren't at danger. Hitler had tried an invasion plan and
failed miserably. The cause was to liberate Europe don't you know ?.

STM do a couple of nice DMOS ones. Forget the part numbers offhand but the
LM3886 is more readily available since it's popular with hobby builders using
the so-called 'Gainclone' circuit.

Graham

 

[Eeyore]

Likewise. Not to mention odd little facts that come out that were
suppressed at the time.

Especially the part about using the lessons taught earlier in order to
keep from falling into pitfalls which could have been avoided by paying
attention to the past.

Yes, that particular aspect was very heavily emphasised on my O level
course.

Seems like it to you because you're so entrenched in believing that
everyone but the UK is shit that you can't see past your nose.

All the stuff I posted(which you snipped, tsk,tsk,) didn't come from any
history books around here, it came straight out of Wikipedia, so if you
think it's wrong, get your lard ass over there and edit it so that it
reflects "the truth".

The bit about England being Catholic at the time of the Pilgrim Fathers ?

Bwahahahahahahahaa !

Graham

 

[Eeyore]

It didn't fail miserably, it came very close to succeeding.

It failed. And even if the RAF had been overcome the Royal Navy would have sunk
any invasion fleet with great ease. They had hundreds upon hundreds of ships back
then.

Graham

Hitler turned east after being stopped at the Channel.

Yes and had you lot not been attacked at Pearl Harbor and Germany then declared
war on you, all of Europe would have finally fallen to Russia.

Graham

 

[Eeyore]

What I was arguing was that England, when the Mayflower Pilgrims left,
_was_ a religious state

Only in the sense that men were expected to turn up at a Protestant ( C of E ) Church on Sundays.

with Catholic influenced laws, and that's why they left.

Wrong.

All faded glory, and by reflection at that.

What's faded about it ? It's still a top school.

Read any good history lately?

This is first person history. You might find it fascinating. I did.

Old Chinese proverb: If you save someone's life, they will hate you
forever.

Grateful as we were for the US help in winning WW2 (when you finally
got around to it) we are obliged to be even more grateful to the
Russians, who did the bulk of the work.

Of course, the Russians didn't have a lot of choice about joining in,
since the Germans chose to invade their country.

Since the U.S.A. was never invaded by the Germans, you could perhaps
have sat out the European war, but only at the expense of seeing
Europe becoming part of a Russian empire. Roosevelt's administration
had enough sense to realise that this wouldn't be in your national
interest.

Since we owe the Russians a larger debt of gratitiude, we presumably
ought to hate them more than we hate you.

In fact nobody hates America (with the possible exception of Osama bin
Laden and his colleagues) but we do think that you ought to get around
to cleaning up your act sometime fairly soon.

Actually you've been MAKING messes all over the place since the end of WW2.

Russians, who did the bulk of the work.

Of course, the Russians didn't have a lot of choice about joining in,
since the Germans chose to invade their country.

Since the U.S.A. was never invaded by the Germans, you could perhaps
have sat out the European war,

Aside from Hitler declaring war on the USA and sinking US and USN ships.

but only at the expense of seeing
Europe becoming part of a Russian empire. Roosevelt's administration
had enough sense to realise that this wouldn't be in your national
interest.

Since we owe the Russians a larger debt of gratitiude, we presumably
ought to hate them more than we hate you.

Quite agree.

Well, to be fair, the USA was kind of busy fighting the Japanese.
Don't forget, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor (part of the USA), and
seized one of the US territories (the Philippines). Google "Bataan
Death March" someday. Did any European countries help out fighting
the Japanese? Maybe then bombing Japan with A-bombs could have been
avoided. Imagine dropping an A-bomb on Dresden... unthinkable, huh?

There is no period there in the original sentence.

That makes it OK does it ? Actually, I didn't do that on purpose.
