Originally posted by shavixmirI will condemn Budweiser as much as anyone. That's like shooting fish in a barrel. But as I said, it's the microbrews which save America from total disgrace. Founder's Java Breakfast Stout, brewed in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is one of my current favorites. It easily beats a Guiness. Now, Guiness is a fine beer, don't get me wrong. Of the major brews available on the international market, it is probably the best. But there are many beers which don't get a worldwide distribution that are markedly superior.

Um...actually, no, it's really not. It's Irish.
Obviously I disagree with imperalism and Guinness will always be Irish to me.

Ye God's man...
But, in my search for infinite wisdom I stumbled across some REALLY good news: http://www.answers.com/topic/guinness-2
And I quote:
Despite the "meal in a glass" reputation the beverage has among some non-Guinness drinkers, Guinness only contains 198 calories (838 kilojoules) per imperial pint (1460 kJ/l), less than an equal-sized serving of skimmed milk or orange juice.

Now, Guinness is derived from porter, which was invented in London--but it was perfected in Dublin, and has the best taste. By the same token, the Irish are more skilled in the use of the English language than the British.

Originally posted by celticcountryI now take a risk by responding to a self-proclaimed witless one.
England has never lost a war.
Americans speak English.
I think that denote the winners.
As painful as it may be, England actually has lost a war - perhaps more than one. No shame there, just historical fact. I can't imagine that all references to defeat have been edited from your history texts and, unfortunately, facts are not subject to one's personal preference.
Since speaking English (most people would not agree that we do) denotes 'victory' for England in your universe, what language would we have spoken if the American colonies had won?
Cordially,
