And with Aryan we get onto the Aryan race which brings us back to Alliances

"Aryan" is actually an old indo-european word that is translated to meaning something similar to "Noble". The National Socialist party got the idea to describe people through this common linguistic link. Even then, it is a poor way to describe race because Hindi and Persian are both Indo-European languages, and as of today India is a mix between old medditeranean peoples and the australoid, dravidians. Persia(Iran) is a mixed between the old medditeranean peoples and pretty much every racial group in existance, like the rest of the middle east. You wouldn't really describe them as "European" or for the English speakers "White" in today's world. Their cultural does stem from the same "Aryan" culture that Europeans have as well. Having said all this, not all native Europeans are rooted from "Indo Europeans or Aryans". The basque are genetically similar to most of the rest of europe, their language isn't Indo-European though. It wasn't until recently(last 2,000 years) where Indo-European language and culture has really dominated Europe to its fullest actually. Finnish is another example of a non-indo european language for arguments sake.

lol quine = girl. but only the Aberdonians say that, really.

everywhere else says lassie or "burd".

 

i called Americans lazy! just like they call Scots people "funny weird and drunk all the time".. but it was all in good jest. i really like this thread.

No, the Irish are the ones who people say are drunk all the time. Scots are loud, violent and eat nothing but haggis.

Did you say you liked Black Pudding or Haggis? I can't remember.

I love the Irish, there always so happy and friendly

They also make great comedians. Mainly because they can make fun of themselves.

Well its always nice to know if Iran comes round to our place and starts punching us we have a bigger person living next door....

That's the non-American English fighting spirit everybody loves.

Channel Tunnel is that way ->


I don't fancy a 1 country vs 1 country war.

 

Strong aliances prevent wars. Simplzz

Or make even bigger wars...

In general if one alliance is significently stronger than another a war won't break out. If theres two arguably equally as strong then war could brake out.

GER ITA JP

GB FR RUS US

Non of those were allies or they were but weren't involved in the war apart from FR and GB when war broke out. Those were the alliances when it finished.

Germany and Japan were allies at the start of the war. In fact, the alliance between the UK and US was mainly due to their enemies being allied.

We're going down a slippery road here so I'll just say that japan and especially America weren't active allies at the start and especially America wanted to keep out of it so you can't count them as being part of an alliance (god i'm getting tired of that word) that can be used as part of the allies that were involved at the start of the war. Roosavelt did say that the USA would remain neutral so you can dissmiss them all together as being involved.

Russia were on the side on the Nazis

Please stop with the history lessons or at least use paragraphs. I know what Aryan is. I was making a joke

I was just quoting your post in the case there was a misunderstanding and if you thought I was referring to the posts about World War II with the term, which I wasn't. You were trying to find a connection with my post, and I explained how it wasn't the same thing. It wasn't you trying to bring this back on topic either, because my post was much more relevant to this thread than any of the last 50. So it was more along the lines of you trying to bring it back Off Topic. As for the paragraph comment, I think a more befitting formating would have been double spacing rather than paragraphs. Paragraphs are used to distinguish main ideas, not to make something look nicer. My post had the same main idea, so I only used one paragraph. I will gladly switch to a more "readable" format though.
