    Since everything else I wanted to mention was already taken, I'll just add this:

    No man, you've got it all wrong, the future is maglev horses, we put the shit in their hooves and then magnetize Canada and have hoverhorses. That Jetsons jet propelled, city-in-the-sky nonsense will never fly.

    Is anyone else bitter that the future hasn't turned out like the Jetsons? All those promises when I was 5 didn't amount to shit. I'd still fuck Mrs Jetson though.

    I get you though. But I think it's more to do with their culture making them look like a bunch of sissies, rather then any actual real history. :S
    It's the fact that they always lose, especially in the important shit.

    See: New England.

    Not le Nouvelle-France.

    Spoiler: show
    it's mostly because we're a british colony, the brits have hated the french forever, and we fought against the french while we were becoming a nation

    Didn't they fight with you too and bankroll your whole revolution thing?

    During the actual fight for Independence, yes. But before that (1756-1763) the French and Native Americans teamed up against the British (or roughly like that). Referred to in America as the French & Indian War, known otherwise as the Seven Years' War or some other shit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_and_Indian_War

    You have to factor in the war warriness of Frances population. They were the front lines of ww1 and what did they get in return? Corrupt government and broken economy.
