From the British point of view, an annoying distraction from the main task of beating Napoleon.
From the American point of view, time to fight back against the British policy of pressganging US citizens into the Royal Navy.
From the Canadian point of view, a War of Liberation against a piece of naked US aggression. The US believed it was their "manifest destiny" to control the whole of the North American continent (hence also the war against Mexico). This remained their dominant philosophy, well into the twentieth century and arguably they still haven't got it out of their system.
The continued existence of the Dominion of Canada proves that the US lost the War of 1812. The British had already revoked the pressganging policy a few days before hostilities began. If it wasn't for the absurd Louisiana campaign, no myth of victory, or even a draw, would have persisted.

The greatest book in the world. It's written by Robert Cormier.
Catcher in the Rye is okay, but The Chocolate War is much better.

A great MMOFPS, much better than counter-strike because it is free to download and play. Currently in the Beta 4 stage it should go for full release sometime this winter. There are 5 different classes of playable characters (Engineer, Medic, Scout, Combatant, Heavy-Weapons) each with their own specialties. Each character starts with base weapons and then more powerful weapons can be leased for certain amounts of time. There are also three different types of combat, Close Quarters Combat (CQC), Urban Ops, and Battle Group. Vehicles are a great addition to the game and there are many from motorcycles, tanks, airplanes, helicopters and even boats. The best part about it though is the Punk Buster software that prevents hacker and cheaters alike.
Wow man, you were right. War rock is way better than Counter Strike. I don't know why i played that game for so long.

When you war dial,at least back in the days of BBSes, you are scanning every phone number in a range (eg 555-555-xxxx) to find BBSes,fax machines,carriers, company dial-in computers, and more!
Person 1: Hey, do you want to war dial?
Person 2: Sure, I need some hacking BBSes!

Similar to an eifel tower, the female has no control as her legs and arms are wrapped around the two mens torsos. The female is suspended over the ground. Incorporated the effects of a double wheelbarrow as if she is a wagon.
Cory and Gunther had a tug of war with Rachel.

CONSOLE WARS!!!!!
In the 80s, two companies battled and battled releasing console after console. The two companies were SEGA and Nintendo. SEGA eventually released the Saturn, which left Nintendo the champ. However, in the mid 90s, Sony came up with the PlayStation console and SEGA fell to the power of the two companies. And in 2001, Microsoft released the XBox, Nintendo released the GameCube, and Sony the PlayStation 2. These three consoles are currently fighting with many advantages. Nintendo with its neverending series like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, and Kirby. Microsoft with its World domination, violence, and graphics. And Sony with amazing RPGs like Final Fantasty.
Microsoft has just released the XBox 360, Sony will soon release the PlayStation 3, and Nintendo will come in last place with the Wii. The Console Wars rage on!!!
Who will win the Console Wars? I sure hope Nintendo doesn't fail...
