Why does Canada get their own color stamp for the fourth of July week? Are you unaware they were on the other side during the revolutionary war? They were paying Indians for Patriot scalps. Seems inappropriate to me.

    While we're dealing with such important issues, Texas' independence day is March 2nd and there were no dyes. Unlike the Americans, Texans didn't have to run to the French for help like yellows running into Alessia to hide. Seems inappropriate to me.

    Whilst we're making stupid game things about RL politics can the UK get it's own server please?

    We voted to leave the EU so we shouldn't be on the EU servers, I want to see a UK server please. :trollface:
    It's a joke, I am being intentionally stupid, and I bet someone still tells me UK is still part of Europe.

    Ah, that explains it. Well happy Canuck day eh! France was on our side though John Paul Jones might argue that point were he alive today. Texas is an embarrassment. They're like our Quebec.

    True. The American's asked the American's for help. Read "To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World" by William B. Travis. History comes alive.

    This.
    The whole world doesn't revolve around the United States just because they happen to have a major holiday this week, and I'm saying this as a proud American.

    Homemade Beef Jerky:
    INGREDIENTS

    4 lbs london broil beef or 4 lbs flank steaks
    2 teaspoons black pepper
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, more if you like it hot
    2 teaspoons onion powder
    1 teaspoon liquid smoke
    1⁄4 cup soy sauce or 1⁄4 cup low sodium soy sauce
    1⁄2 cup Worcestershire sauce
    1⁄2 cup Frank's red hot sauce

    DIRECTIONS

    Trim all fat off meat.
    Cut steak in to 4 inch strips.
    The steak should be about 1/2 inch thick.
    It's easier to cut meat partially frozen.
    Pound meat lightly, you don't want it too thin.
    Add all ingredients in a large bowl.
    Mix well.
    Cover and refrigerate overnight (8 hrs).
    Line cookie sheets with tin foil.
    Place steak strips on sheets, don't overlap meat.
    Set oven at lowest temperature. (150-175°F).
    Bake six hours, turning after three hours.
    Jerky is done when meat is dried out, depending on your oven.

    What's more funny is when remoaners say we aren't Europeans anymore. I didn't realise Brexit meant changing continents. Lol

    I'd say we should just migrate to the NA server in solidarity with our friends from across the pond, but I'm not sure it that means scaling a wall to get to the other side. :D:D:D

    In regards to the dyes, it thought it was odd that the Liberty one was red. Given it was US Independence Day it begs the question as to what that particular dye makes you think of.

He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    History lesson for @MusekininKanchou : there were now-Canadians on both sides of the war! The rebels/patriots invaded Quebec/Canada in 1775 was because Congress thought they stood a good chance of liberating the colony, and it might have worked if they hadn't been defeated by disease and weather (and Wooster being stupid). Congress fielded multiple Canadian regiments; then-Nova Scotian/now-Canada rebels committed sabotage and attempted armed rebellion at home; and the USA's first international treaty - the Treaty of Watertown, July 1776 - was with the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, and Passamaquoddy nations in now-Canada, who fielded volunteers too. And that's all in spite of Britain doing things like suspending Habeas corpus and banning town meetings.

    History. It's complicated. ;)

    I think it's hilarious that the red in the Canada stamp is called "Patriots Blood," because one: Canada's got that whole "evolution not revolution" thing going on, and two: I sincerely doubt that ZOS Marketing has ever heard of Les Patriotes or the Lower Canada Rebellions of 1837-8.

    I know it's easier to use the same red in all parts of a set, but wow. XD

    I feel like you are taking it a bit too far mate... 4th of July is the day we celebrate the signing of the declaration of independence meaning being able to be free and independent from Britain's tyranny.. It has nothing to do with the revolutionary war in itself or who fought in the war.

    LOL. Only the signing of the Declaration of Independence was a direct result of that war and who fought in the war, so .... ummm..... yeah, it had everything to do with the Revolutionary War and who fought in the war.
    This is all off-topic, though. We're supposed to be talking about ESO, here. :/
