The guy is not fat enough and is missing his guns?UberPubert said:As an american, I might be tempted to take umbrage at panel two, but panel three pleases me enough to overlook it. Fair play.
fair enough, although it was the fact that the empire eventually stretched to locations like england that lead to the fall of the westSaelune said:Does the Roman Empire resurrect to reclaim England then (and most everywhere else)?CyanCat47 said:all the european countries should reclaim their colonies.

(In this country almost all health care is free, at best dental is subsidised and we really resent having to pay money upfront for medical care.
