This has always kind of confused me so I’m going to finally ask. Why do people, predominantly Americans (a small observation I made) say “I could care less” when trying to illustrate the point that they don’t give a shit. Here in England we say “I couldn’t care less”. If you could care less, then it implies that you care at least on some level, therefore giving a shit.
If you couldn’t care less then you don’t care about it in the slightest. So how come so many people say “I could care less”? Are they just idiots, is it slang or is there something I’m missing? I’m not perfect at grammar either so this is why I ask.[/quote]
Cuz fuck you dude.
America…fuck yeah![/quote]

Whatever you say random australian teenager.
I’ve been to Vietnam several times. Beautiful country, beautiful people.
Fun fact: They refer to the war as “the American war”. Makes perfect sense, of course, but most people don’t know it. Many ex-Vietcong are now cyclo drivers, taking tourists around the city on 3 wheeled bikes.
This is considered a demeaning job, since their involvement with the VC basically gave them a “Scarlet Letter” for the rest of their lives. I had some interesting conversations with a few of them. They displayed a great deal of humility, and it was clear that their victory against the US wasn’t a great source of pride…more like “another day at the office”.

The Revolutionary War?[/quote]
No, the Revolutionary War was won by an ex-pat faction of the British population, together with a number of European settlers who were descendents of a group of people fleeing religious persecution. The American nation was not yet constituted at that point. Try again.[/quote]
Soooo, we’re arguing semantics now?[/quote]
No, it’s not semantics, it’s called history.
Still waiting to be told which war America won without any British assistance.[/quote]
I’m sorry, but if it weren’t for US you all would be speaking German right now. So, STFU.
Wars we won without the British: Spanish American War, War of 1812, when the Brits tried to take us back.
We are also the only nation to have won COMPLETE independence from the UK, as Canada is still part of the UK as evidenced by: Canada is governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state.
Ha ha ha.
Thank you Ty Carlson.
It seems I was right. The only way the Yank can proceed is by doctoring my words and ignoring my question.
It’s a nice feeling being right.
Once again, thank you.
Spanish American war?
You should have let the Spanish know they were in a war. I don’t think they know about it to this day. Is this another invention like the one that some Yankee said a few posts ago about America not being whooped by the COMMUNIST Viet Cong?
No. Seriously. When did Spain sue for peace over this “Spanish American War”? Was Madrid under siege from the same army that got a good kicking in Iran, Vietnam, North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan (still not won)…
O I tire of this stuff sometimes.

Seriously: Spanish–American War - Wikipedia
If you read that, you will learn that Spain declared war on us.
Why is it that we Americans seem to know more about YOUR history than you know about OURS? We’re only 200 years old ffs…It shouldn’t take that long to learn our history.
“The outcome by late 1898 was a peace treaty, followed by temporary American control of Cuba and indefinite colonial authority over Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. Spain, whose politics had become highly unstable, managed to get rid of a very expensive empire with honor (the U.S. paid Spain $20 million)”
“WITH HONOR”. They reckon they won, but they paid “$20 million”. And they call this a victory!?! Next they’ll be saying that they’re better than the Russians at basketball, a game that only anyone gives a fuck about in Yankee-land, but perfected by COMMUNISTS! Yee-ha!!!
Why does every American always say this when justifying their greatness over the British?
If you had helped us at the start there would not have been as many pointless casualties.
If you had allowed Germany to continue and take mainland Europe and Britain then a decade or two after they would have been looking over the ocean towards the big US.
Britain and America worked together but neither side was responsible for the end of the war.
What was responsible was the same way to Roman empire crumbled. It got too big and had to control too much hostile land.
And lets not forget Hitler emulating Napoleons mistake of invading Russia a BIG reason the Germans lost in the end.
Germany’s persecution of Jews led to some fleeing to America one of which was Albert Einstein who helped with the Manhattan project. In-fact if i remember correctly your atomic bomb which ended your war in the pacific was the brain child of Jewish German evacuees.
So it is inevitable that i use your logic to say: Without the Germans you would be speaking Japanese. ?
And without the Germans you would not have landed on the moon (space rocket based on V2 technology)
So lets stop this speaking German bullshit.
Besides we all know that Brits cant speak foreign languages.
It usually pretty much accepted that the “you’d be speaking German” line is bs, if america hadn’t got involved it’s pretty certain we’d be speaking russian.
the western front was nothing for the germans in comparison to the war against russia and other eastern powers like the british raj (india, pakistan, etc) and even if the whole of western europehad fallen to the nazis, russia would have stamped them out

LOL! ZING! Right where it hurts…in the 1770s
I agree with the toothless brits questioning our “I could care less.” It doesn’t make much sense but everyone knows what you mean. I have heard the rationale that there is an implied phrase: “I could care less…but I just don’t see how” or something to that effect. Anyway who the fuck cares.
