wow that really clears things up. 1 person down and like 50 billion more to go...dang ive got some work to do who fired that dang shot!!!!!!!!

I have an alibi, if you exclude that pesky reincarnation thing. Best JWC

I'm almost certain it wasn't me, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't any of the other 3,000+ forum members, or any of their closest relatives, friends or neighbours either..

So can we continue on topic from now on, please??

ahh yes... I can see it now....


"Jimmy!! Get back here witht that musket...Jiiiimyyy!!!"

and jimmys' thoughts"hahahahha im going to go start a war!!!"

As the poor boy moves into position he fires of his fathers old inacurate musket and misses his target, whether it be british or colonial(i guess it depends whether the boys parents were loyalist or patriot).
Well both sides instantly fire off thier volleys and start to kill each other and the colonials start to retreat.

Lets say that young Jimmy was a loyalist and his target was a colonial. Some american sharp shooter saw this young welp take a shot at his side and the sniper snuck around till he was in the perfect position and...bang! Poor Jimmy lies on the ground having been just grazed over the arm. He runs back to his mamma and she scolds him and says it serves him right for starting a war!
Well then this sniper ashamed he didn't kill his target decides not to tell his superiors about his little failure and it goes a mystery how the war was started till now. Well it could have happened that way.........

Or maybe the kid fought in the colonial ranks and had an itchy trigger finger

well i was thinking a very young kid, but yes there were many children (mostly about our age) who fought in that war. It is very sad, I imagine that many of them must have been very scared and did probably have ichy trigger fingers or ichy everything! Hard times, hard times...(oh and the kid coulda been british to you know, they had some pretty young people in their ranks as well)
