Jack Broughton's Boxing Rules (1743)
1)That a square of a yard be chalked in the middle of the stage, and on every fresh set-to after a fall, or being parted from the rails, each Second is to bring his Man to the side of the square, and place him opposite to the other, and till they are fairly set-to at the Lines, it shall not be lawful for one to strike at the other.
2) That, in order to prevent any Disputes, the time a Man lies after a fall, if the Second does not bring his Man to the side of the square, within the space of half a minute, he shall be deemed a beaten Man.
3) That in every main Battle, no person whatever shall be upon the Stage, except the Principals and their Seconds, the same rule to be observed in bye-battles, except that in the latter, Mr. Broughton is allowed to be upon the Stage to keep decorum, and to assist Gentlemen in getting to their places, provided always he does not interfere in the Battle; and whoever pretends to infringe these Rules to be turned immediately out of the house. Every body is to quit the Stage as soon as the Champions are stripped, before the set-to.
4) That no Champion be deemed beaten, unless he fails coming up to the line in the limited time, or that his own Second declares him beaten. No Second is to be allowed to ask his man's Adversary any questions, or advise him to give out.
5) That in bye-battles, the winning man to have two-thirds of the Money given, which shall be publicly divided upon the Stage, notwithstanding any private agreements to the contrary.
6) That to prevent Disputes, in every main Battle the Principals shall, on coming on the Stage, choose from among the gentlemen present two Umpires, who shall absolutely decide all Disputes that may arise about the Battle; and if the two Umpires cannot agree, the said Umpires to choose a third, who is to determine it.
7) That no person is to hit his Adversary when he is down, or seize him by the ham, the breeches, or any part below the waist a man on his knees to be reckoned down.

Once again your mathematics is proved to be poor.
more industrial goods than the rest of the world= more than half of the total output
more than half of the total output=above 50%
40 is not above 50%
It also fails to justify stealing as much from Britain as is possible. Ignoring the moral aspects, it would have been better for Britain to reached a peace agreement or even surrendered. Of course should Britain have fallen or reached a peace agreement, the soviet union, and then the united states would be next. The US could stand up to Germany, sure. The whole of Europe and the soviet union? I'm sure that the phrase 'No chance in hell' is american in origin.

You are free to consider it waccy baccy, but it is generally called imperialism. You know, that thing that the united states tried at the end of the nineteenth century by trying to conquer some third world Latino countries, but failing and paying Spain $20 mil for their shitty little empire. Usually, a country can maintain an empire for centuries. The united states, although intending to be harsh on the peoples it conquered , couldn't hold them for a decade (with the exception of the small islands). Had this not been such a fuck up on the part of the united states, I’m sure you’d be gloating about it with all the pomp and circumstance that would be typical of the praise of any American success, no matter how minor.
I guess manifest destiny didn't get a chance to work its' magic like the mexican or French owned places that are now a part of the united states.

"Before Christ"
All that happened more that 2004 years ago, at time of writing, is considered BC. The date system comes from the spread of christianity and the desire to use the birth of Christ as the standard starting point for years. Anything happening after 1BC is refered to as AD (Anno Domini).
However, the monks that tried to work when the birth of christ was did so over 1000 years ago, and were missing some documents. These documents were discovered in the 20th century, and 'twas found the birth of christ to be four years before the dating system.

My fellow motorist gave my driving the thumbs down, before speeding off with his arm and middle finger extended.
I'm sorry, but this definition is crude, immature and a failed attempt at humour. I've just have to give it a thumbs down
The roman gladiatorial type looked about the colloseum to see row after row of thumbs down, so he cast his net over the opponent and speared him through.

Mr T driving style
Constantly turning the steering wheel slightly while in motion, even on a perfectly straight road. Usually the result of an insane person talking jibba jabba in ones ear.
