Yea, the Swiss placed explosives in the passes and tunnles throughout their country. I believe it was to help counter Uncle Adolph, originally. Thats 'cause their Army is so small that the New Hampshire Nasty Girls could kick their butt. Would i want to be Swiss? Don't think so. Couple of good Airborne divisions and...well, let's just say, cancel christmas. Smart, but obsolete, I think.<span id='postcolor'>

You are very wrong. Switzerland is one of the best defended places in Europe, on land and in the air.

Probably right. Just don't tell my buds in the 82nd or 101st, ok? Thanks, pal !

is anyone listening to NetRadio? I found an excellent audio streaming ripper. best of all, its free, no spyware, pop-up's  commercials or DJ's. I can rip 5 different channels averaging 130KB apiece at the same time! NO SH*T! To me, that's good. I downloaded 537 songs in a four hour period right to my hard drive, sort them anyway I want and burn what I want to either CD or DVD. For an old fart like me, that's pretty cool        !!!!

Why post this here?  

<span id='postcolor'>

because I have an audience, and,... I can! lol

Paratrooper, play with the big dogs, learn to pee on big trees, ok? iow, lighten up, man. it ain't parliment! nor church...it's only a BS session. we're not trying to save the world, only trying to find out where we'd all want to live.

Back to the topic at hand. In general, you Europeans think your poopy no smelly. Well, guess what? You liberal pacifist would be goose-stepping and listening to oom-pah-pah bands if we hadn't pulled your balls out of the fire. And what do we get for it? A bunch of whiny, sniveling sh*ts who are jealous of what America is, stands for and has become, and, because you don't have it, you'll fight us, politically, with more pacifistic BS until, poof, there goes London or Paris, then all of a sudden we gotta come a'runnin' again and get killed for you. Or worse, because you whiny little snots allow the Muslim slimebag terrorists to bring a bomb to America through your country, we lose a million people or more. So where would I like to live? USA, USA, USA! and I will shout it from every mountain, Big Ben, Eifell Tower, frickin' downtown Mecca and anyone that doesn't want to listen can change the channel. I'm not saying we don't have problems, but comparatively speaking, I'll take our problems any day if they come with our freedoms and liberty. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Hey, where did everyone go?      

[USSoldier11B 0]

Whoa dude. I would edit all that stuff out or the moddies are gonna ban you.

[Manec 0]

edit what? do it!

seriously, edit what?

That's right, I don't have 1st amendment rights here, do I? Oh my God, Banished for speaking my mind? If that is the case, maybe I don't want to be a part of this anyway! Not my intention to hurt anyones "feelings" but why would my "opinion", my thoughts, be a threat or whatever? If OFP isn't a place to be able to say whatever you want, take the American GI off the cover and put French, German, Dutch, English, EUROPEAN troops in to defend those little islands! As long as it's Americans that are fighting and dying for Everon, I will say my peace! And you, as an American, should join with me for "together we stand, for apart we surely will die!" Either that or get rid of your avantar (sp) and name!

I've got that quoted now.

This is a thread about what other countries we admire, not for flaming of ant kind. Manec you're spoiling this good humoured discussion.

[Longinius 1]

"You liberal pacifist would be goose-stepping and listening to oom-pah-pah bands if we hadn't pulled your balls out of the fire."

Like America had a choice in getting involved or not. Yeah, sure...

"And what do we get for it? A bunch of whiny, sniveling sh*ts who are jealous of what America is, stands for and has become, and, because you don't have it, you'll fight us, politically, with more pacifistic BS until, poof, there goes London or Paris, then all of a sudden we gotta come a'runnin' again and get killed for you."

LOL! Believe me, the only thing we are jealous about is that it was an American that invented Coca Cola. You don't have any rights or freedoms we don't have. The only reason America is better is because it is bigger, simple mathematics. Nothing else.

"Or worse, because you whiny little snots allow the Muslim slimebag terrorists to bring a bomb to America through your country, we lose a million people or more."

Nah, we don't have to do that. You just give them your planes anyway!

"I'm not saying we don't have problems, but comparatively speaking, I'll take our problems any day if they come with our freedoms and liberty. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!"

Again, tell me what freedoms and liberties you have that we don't.

"That's right, I don't have 1st amendment rights here, do I? Oh my God, Banished for speaking my mind?"

No, banished for being an asshole and picking a fight. Your dear police officers would do the same, if you were walking down a street pushing people around.

"As long as it's Americans that are fighting and dying for Everon, I will say my peace! And you, as an American, should join with me for "together we stand, for apart we surely will die!" Either that or get rid of your avantar (sp) and name!"

You are probably just some kind of nutcase. This actually makes me feel a bit better about things. I didn't know America had rights for the Criminally Insane to have internet connections and computers in their padded rooms though.

Cool! Like iI said a long time ago, this is your thread, Paratrooper, and if you don't want a flamewar, just say so. You said nothing so I thought I had your tacit approval. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

OK? Friends?

Now leave this thread, it is for good humoured talk about countries we like, admire or would like to live in.

Paratrooper, I went to  high school in Thorpe, Surrey. I love England. As a matter of fact, I lived in Haan and Baumholder, Germany, grew up there, for pete's sake, loved skiing in Switzerland, Germany and Austria, hang out at the Cote de Azur, been all over Europe. I love it, really. Would I want to become a citizen, no, sorry. Love to visit, but...I am truly sorry if I upset you. It was my misunderstanding. Do I care or worry about banishment from this website? Sure, but only because I do love this game. Would my life end without it? No. Would yours? No. Again, I did flame a bit  hard, for which I am sorry. Will you accept my apologies?

[Manec 0]

Longinius, love to discuss this in more detail, but not in Paratroopers thread, thank you. I've apologized to him. You, on the other hand...            

[Longinius 1]

I have no reason to apologise to Paratrooper as I am not the one who hijacked his thread. Nor was I the person who spammed it continously with unrelated posts. I simply responded to a very inpolite, ignorant and rude post (read: your post). I don't think Paratropper took any offense by it. If he did, I will gladly apologise however. But like I said, I don't really think I have to.

No, you haven't done anything to apologize for. Now can we get back to what the thread was about?

[Longinius 1]

Yeah, of course. I have allready responded though

I just realized that I could probably survive in Japan to. It looks like a nice country, ancient and interesting culture, promising future....yeah, I could be Japanese.

[Manec 0]

Boy, I really have to be careful here, don't I? I didn't mean for you to apologize, I was thinking we could have a decent discussion. It was hahaha, this could be fun. Maybe I can learn something, or vice-versa. I am hoping to discuss this topic further, elsewhere. That's all. Nothing serious.

Japan is a beautiful country, I'm sorry, may I join? Promise to keep the thread !

What are you talking about pal? You can not talk about Europeans that way because a European country was trying to take over Europe. Even if it succeeded Europe would be ruled by Europeans (Germans and Austrians).

The only reason allied forces decided to put an end to it is beacuse your own ass was in danger. So do not BS the facts, you are not heroes, just people defending your assets, as people have done for thousands of years.

Next time let Germany take over, it will regroup in 5 years and take over US, Australia and everything else in 1 year.

THINK before you judge

Not only that but you "Americans" are just children of Europe, and I stress children, in the most literal sense. You took all the inventions and tools from Europe to set up the US and Canada, and fight the Natives into submission. Now you are trying to impose your little opinions on the EU... go kill terrorists and tell each other to jump off bridges and stop bothering Europeans, cuz you are messing with people who are still a level above.

Even Steven?

[IsthatyouJohnWayne 0]

Manec- Heh

I dont think people are objecting to you preferring your country to others, thats not something unique to either you or americans (believe it or not).

But perhaps you failed to observe the phrase 'would you be'

( as opposed to 'are you' ) hiding sneakily in the middle of the thread title?

And then to launch a dumb verbal attack on europe with only

the fig leaf of "in general" (and a wink) as some kind of naked-attack-against-a-continent  disclaimer

well.....ok ill take it in the (stupid) spirit i hope it was posted in ,

ill hold my tongue and merely state that

thats all been seen before on these forums, i could easily resurrect fifteen or twenty posts ( from the old OFP forums ) with near identical rants and identical replies.

Americans insulting Europeans and Europeans insulting Americans didnt get us anywhere for 6 months or so and its not going to start getting us somewhere now,

so instead of bravely fighting against the oppression of the 'whiny snivelling...liberal pacifist..jealous... sh*t' european  moderators and getting Moderated out of existance (here), why dont you take the hint (as you appear to begin to have done) and

post relevant or dont post at all.

(P.S.- i could have flamed your ass back to the ski slopes of Switzerland )

As much as it pains me to say this, i would probably first chose to be American, but not because of any kind of liberty or beauty, just for the simple reason that the person I love is in America, (aswell as corndogs and 2lb steaks) and I would want to be with her even if she lived in Ethiopa. Well, maybe...

Taking her out of theequation, definately somewhere like finland or sweden. To me they seem like a nice place to settle down in with outstanding scenery all around and generally nice ( am i right?) people
