[QUOTE=Turgid;2644373]Arguing with this ShooBree guy is like arguing with a 6 year old. He says the same drivel over and over again and expects people to take him seriously. I wonder if he'll make the mental effort to look up the meaning of the word 'drivel'. If he is an adult then there's no improving his intellect. It seems a futile exercise.[/QUOTE]LMFAO, another moronic post from you. You're obviously a demented and pathetic old fart.
Why are the USAns on this forum so incredibly stupid and arrogant?
Bro, I know. I won't mention I'm the only smart Swede on the board. The rest are either angry trolls or incels. What a pity.

[QUOTE=Pistons;2644383]Where was the US handball team in this female only sport during the recent world championships anyway?

There was France I noticed, but no USA. Apparently our national team from our country with a smaller population than metro Atlanta went sleepwalking through the entire tournament until the 2nd half of the final. Which they won 17-6. A world final in a team sport: Handball.[/QUOTE]What's handball? What's women sports?
You don't matter.
[QUOTE=Pistons;2644361]I have. In Zimbabwe and parts of South Africa when the blacks have chopped their heads off by machetes and taken their farmland as national property only to give it out to black people.[/QUOTE]Interesting how the white population with social clout are never the ones speaking like this weirdo. It's only the socially outcasted, angry school shooter types who always seem to have all the gripes.
You're ugly dude. Ugly people need to know your place and watch your damn mouth or just shut the hell up. Nasty looking weirdo.

[QUOTE=TheCane;2644379]Took you longer to reach that conclusion than I expected hahaha![/QUOTE]You're an immature little cry baby who cries every time someone mention facts you don't like.
[QUOTE=BigBuddy69;2644369]That's an important part of his trolling mania disorder. This and the insults.[/QUOTE]Lmfao, the one free from sin etc.
Here you go again showing why you're known as the big troll on this forum. It's amazing how you can be so dishonest and hypocritical that you only open your mouth when I respond to the personal attacks I've received. Why are you such a coward? Is it because I embarrassed you so much when we kept the discussion factual and on the subject?
You're also known as the moron who claimed that Sweden had a lockdown and lets not forget that you can't tell the difference between millions and billions.
You're just as smart as your compatriot Siri. LMFAO!

Do you understand that religion is a book of made up lies and words written down in order to fool you? Or as some would say, teach you something. LOL..[/QUOTE]Yes but Warhammer 40 k is a game. Pure entertainment, just like Matrix. It's made to make money and entertain you, not to teach you some hidden things.

[QUOTE=Pistons;2644377]There is no skill in NFL when a 50 year old is still the best player. Oh, and he is white.

I m afraid I m the only one to climb highest ranked without doping, but only my passion.
[QUOTE=PedroMorales;2644130]You do know the Germans kicked the shit out of the Romans, eliminating entire legions, right?.[/QUOTE]First, half of the Roman Imperial Army was of Germanic origin (mercenary, auxiliary forces called Foederati). Arminius was a Roman citizen of Germanic origin, who acted as a "trusted" advisor to Varus, the commander of the three Roman legions. Arminius fabricated a story about a revolt that needed to be urgently put down, and advised Varus to move his force through a narrow, unknown route via a swampy forest. Unbeknownst to Varus, Arminius had been conspiring with chieftains from various Germanic tribes, and had orchestrated the ambush.
Second, a few years later, several legions led by Germanicus returned to Germania to retaliate. The Germanic tribes responsible for the treachery were hunted down like dogs. These later campaigns proved that the Romans, had they chosen to do so, could have easily pushed the Germanic tribes beyond the Elbe River.
Third, the Romans realised that they had already expanded their empire to their natural limits. The cost of conquering and administering Germania would be more than what they could possibly take in from tax revenues (cold, forested, inhospitable). As such, the Romans decided to stop their expansion at the Rhine.
[QUOTE]
From the time of the rediscovery of Roman sources in the 15th century, the Battles of the Teutoburg Forest have been seen as a pivotal event resulting in the end of Roman expansion into northern Europe. This theory became prevalent in the 19th century, and formed an integral part of the mythology of German nationalism.
More recently some scholars questioned this interpretation, advancing a number of reasons why the Rhine was a practical boundary for the Roman Empire, and more suitable than any other river in Germania. Logistically, armies on the Rhine could be supplied from the Mediterranean via the Rhone, Saone and Mosel, with a brief stretch of portage. Armies on the Elbe, on the other hand, would have to have been supplied either by extensive overland routes or ships travelling the hazardous Atlantic seas. Economically, the Rhine was already supporting towns and sizeable villages at the time of the Gallic conquest. [b]Northern Germania was far less developed, possessed fewer villages, and had little food surplus and thus a far lesser capacity for tribute.[/b] Thus the Rhine was both significantly more accessible from Rome and better suited to supply sizeable garrisons than the regions beyond. There were also practical reasons to fall back from the limits of Augustus' expansionism in this region. [b]The Romans were mostly interested in conquering areas that had a high degree of self-sufficiency which could provide a tax base for them to extract from. Most of Germania Magna did not have the higher level of urbanism at this time as in comparison with some Celtic Gallic settlements, which were in many ways already integrated into the Roman trade network in the case of southern Gaul. In a cost/benefit analysis, the prestige to be gained by conquering more territory was outweighed by the lack of financial benefits accorded to conquest.[/b]
