    King Albion, you forgot the revolutionary war of Off-Topic, when the anarchists created havoc for some days but were crushed by the powers-that be and age of repression began.

    They were the worst of times, they were the best of times...

    Looks like someone knows how to use google ... But my point stands, while wars of this nature may have different names, they are in effect the result of oppression, bias and other similar things and as a result can be safely generalized under one heading.

    Really? Did you even read his list or did you just assume google since it was long? I thought the same thing when I first glanced at it, then I actually read the list.

    I read the list from the Boers to the Beers and noticed all of the comedic "wars" in between but yes I still think he googled a couple of the real ones.

    Well, I don't know about all those other Revoltionary wars, but I can edumacate you with my knowledge of how we Americans overthrew Communist Britain and became the greatest superpower the world has ever known practically overnight.

    It all started with a little boy named Jorge Washings. He had wooden teeth and when he'd try to eat, they would splinter and make his gums bleed. By the time he was 9 months old his father grew a cherry tree in the backyard so little Jorge would be able to have teeth all his life without needing to wear the same rotten ones.
    Unfortunate Washing's father didn't let him know this, so little Jorge grabbed a chainsaw and cut down the cherry tree because he was allergic to cherry pie. When asked about it, he told his father that he couldn't tell a falsehood, and that he did indeed remove the offending twig. His father was so overcome with pride that his son finally told the truth for once in his life, that he made a monument of the cherry tree in Washington DC.
    That was how the revoltion began.

    By the time he was 23, the British has become so overwhelmingly jealous of Jorge's monument, that they decided it was time to enslave all of the people living in America and send them to salt mines in Brazil.
    Some of the Native Americans got upset about this and staged a protest on Wall Street to try and disuade the Scottish from sending them away. They didn't care, and stabbed a black guy.
    This angered all of the French because they had been living with the blacks peacfully in New Orleans and playing football with them on a regular basis. They decided to enlist all of the white people and throw out the Irish from America.
    Since he told the truth once, Jorge Washings led the Rebel Alliance with his most trusted general, Abram Link. Unfortunatly for Jorge, Link stole Excaliber from the Germans and went on his own quest to find something to do with time. He emerged much later in time to kill all of the slave owners and let the Mexicans work for free.

    The first battle in the Revoltionary War was also the last. Jorge was encamped near a river when one of his scouts, Pablo Revoir rode up on his harley and screamed that the British were slowly walking towards them. Jorge immedietely told all of his men to run away while he held them off.
    As the Gauls approached his location, Jorge revealed that he wasn't alone and that he had some mercenary knights hiding in some shrubbery and covered in herrings. The Italians all cried out that it was a trap, and surrendered when they saw the incredible army that Jorge had at his command. Needless to say everyone in attendance agreed that he should be crowned. And that's how little Jorge who told only one truth became King Jorge Washings, leader of the free peoples and Emperor of the World.

    Although I do appreciate how you have continued on with the OP's egregious spelling errors.
    Obviously his list works because he added in the Zombie Revolutionary war along with the controversial Cyborg, Starbucks, and Santa Claus rebellions...

    I dont honestly give a bucket of rat spit what the French think, nor the Russians, and I have deep condolences for the Haitians. Plus I did not write "The French Revolution" I wrote "The French Révoluation
    did you not notice the little doohicky above the 'é' ? Big difference there.


    The only reason you think your list works is that you've looked at anglo and american-centric sources.

    Its called satire, sweetpee. Obviously the racism harbouring in your heart, clouds your sense of humor, exposing the faux cuteness you're striving for, to be as ugly as those boots you're wearing. politely speaking of course.

    The US is not the centre of the universe.

    Yes it is, along with Germany, Canada, Great Britain, Kenya, South Africa, Australia, Kuwait, Ecuador, Belize, Saipan and most importantly ... TEXAS!!

    Although I do appreciate how you have continued on with the OP's egregious spelling errors.

    ^Now thats satire. Very good, you get a cookie. =P

    They were the worst of times, they were the best of times...
    indeed, I was amiss

    ... cannons to the left of us, cannons to the right, onward we spurred our beasts into the hell of firey cannonade ... then drank some rum and Lord Drazar nuked the bar, one minute after she walked in and sat down and ordered a tequila. amazing timing.
