Not only was the United States justified when they declared war on Britain, they also created many positive effects for Americans as well. Some of the positive effects included a surge in American patriotism, a weakened Native American resistance, and a growth of U.S. manufacturing. And United States want to keep trading so that their economy will being better. The last thing is that because the Britain has a war with United States before so that the American were mad at them so they decide to have a war with Britain instead of France.
The first main reason is that United States would continue to trade with other country especially is France. Because trade could help grow up the economy of United States. Since United States choose the be neutral, not siding with one country or the other. So their economy is being very bad. And Britain made it hard for the United States to remain neutral.
The other reason that United States should justified in declaring war on Britain in 1812 is because the Britain has a war with United States and Britain stole their right so the American decide to having a war with Britain instead of France.
The effects of the war has made three thing happen. The first one would be the heroic exploits of men such as Andrew Jackson and Oliver Perry increased American patriotism. Second, the war broke the strength of Native Americans, who had sided with the British. Finally, when war interrupted trade, the Americans were forced to make many of the goods they had previously imported. This encouraged the growth of U.S. manufactures. The United States had also proved that it could defend itself against the mightiest military power of the ear.
As you can see, that the United States was justified in declaring was on Britain in 1812. There are many positive effects than negative effects in the war. Like increase American patriotism, weakened native American resistance and U.S. manufacturing grew. Also that Britain and France did not let United States to trade with them and they impressments to American. So the United States need to decide that who are they going to have a war with. Also because the Britain has a war of Independence with United States so American decide to have a war with Britain than the France.

OK So Im trying to control what I say.When I was growing up me and my brothers & sister would say "stupid" to each other when we were fighting or just goofing off.Im getting older and I have a baby now and I dont want him saying that word.I spent some time at someones house and heard the dad call his son stupid & they argued & the son kept saying "Im not stupid" so I felt bad.I dont ever want to call my son stupid but I've used that word so many times in a day.Not calling my son stupid but saying things like that stupid dog or the stupid rain or the stupid cable company needs to...You get the picture.So does anyone have any advice on how to stop yourself from saying a certain word.And you cant say just stop saying it, its not that easy.And if you think its that easy, you try to stop yourself from saying a certain word that you've said for a few years now.

My daughter said it one day as she was squeezing her hands together with paint between them and generally making a mess.

One day I thought I heard the word in Balamory when Miss Hoolie sings 'come inside and join the fun'.

Does anyone know if it is a real word?

Everybody says a bad situation "sucks" . When something "sucks", what does it suck ? Where did that expression come from ? The expression "It sucks" is crude and it doesn't make any sense . Why is such a meaningless expression so popular ? Why do people use a phrase if it doesn't make any sense ? Why do people use such a crude phrase ?

Weights & Measures

Dislodged from the bowels of Hades
I ascend to an uncertain prison of
retrospection & consciousness
A cerebrum already frenetic
in its infinite voracity to break out
of the wretched penchant for romance
---which---
The substance of my being seems to
yearn for perpetually
I must prepare my troubled heart
for its destiny of existence
devoid from that which it
secretly desires most
---your love---
Sweet as a mountain rain
---fresh as spring
---warm as a summer day
Dreams of yesterdays...
Fantasies for tomorrows (never to arrive)...
Longings torn asunder under the
light of true realities
That is my world today
Yet, the core of my being
resists said verity

Basically, Native speakers who are right now reading my question dont use the easy verb or adjective, for instance, "i want to go toilet, i want to ~~~ "very well, when you are in conversation.
So. I really want to know idioms, phrasal verbs. Because every
native speakers use it in routine life. So Sometimes it was too hard to understand conversation.
If I want to learn about idioms, phrasal verbs, I go to bookstore or
make native friends,(I dont want that ^^;)
How to do? and Where?(please dont mention the langauge school)
