Haha yep.

You've got to remain self confident despite learning the language of surrenderers.

Revisionist history right there...

''In the late 1940s England realized this truth with Neville Chamberlain's Policy of Appeasement and the Nazi regime. Chamberlain thought he could somehow 'appease' the fuehrer, yet Winston Churchill aggressively stood against this policy and proclaimed that they must kill Hitler and destroy the regime in its entirety. It wasn't long before Chamberlain's 'politically correct' policy fell flat on its face, and Churchill – the more aggressive man – took the reins and-

-joined America in defeating the beast.''

England joined America in it's war with Hitler? Wasn't it the other way around? Also ''England'', not the ''UK''?

huh... must be a recent revision, because I've always been taught that the U.S. didn't get involved with WW2 until late in the game when they were bombed in Pearl Harbor.

Actually, when it comes to public schools, you really have to do your research on the area.  We have some really good school districts here, but on the same token, we also have some really bad school districts.  Just gotta do your research.

It's just semantics.  The US didn't officially get into the war until after Pearl Harbor.  But the unofficially got into it much earlier when they help to enforce a blockade around Japan for invading China.  The also helped send munitions over to England just like the did during WWI.

And when we cut off Japan from all of their sources of oil.

[Kimarhi]

That's what the blockade was for nigga!

Haha yep.

It's not like it means anything IMO. I spent seven years studying French in total in my life and I don't use it. I'd rather learn Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, or Mandarin.

America was already involved with the war as early as 1941. After Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, America initiated it's "lend-lease" program supplying the Commies with millions of tons of war materiel including tanks, aircraft and ships. The German U-boats in turn sank hundreds of American supply and naval escort ships.

Up 'till D-day England was basically just defending herself (apart from aerial raids into fortress Europe) so technically it would be correct to say that she joined America's offensive campaign.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor also occurred in 1941 which was still relatively early in the war.

Scientists Found Something Completely Unexpected In Photos Of A Rare Goblin Shark
http://www.businessinsider.com/giant-isopods-in-photos-of-rare-goblin-shark-2014-5

In April, shrimp fisherman Carl Moore accidentally caught an incredibly rare goblin shark off the Florida Keys. Moore snapped photos of the 18-foot-long creature before releasing it back into the water.

Those images, shared by NOAA, immediately captured the attention of the media and scientists as they showed only the second goblin shark ever to be spotted in the Gulf of Mexico, and the first to be captured since 2000.

But researchers studying the photos noticed something else that's exciting. Among the shrimp and other fish dumped on the boat deck are dozens of giant deep-sea isopods — huge insect-like creatures closely related to shrimps and crabs.

We should send Aspie to explore some more.

If we follow it back to its nest, we might find the Brain Bug.

Nice find. The ocean is a beautiful thing. I just wish we could explore more of it.
