The Yanks are lousy shots

  1. Yeah but ours is so subtle at times no one gets it. Care to guess when closet
    socialism started in the U.S.? State socialism mind you, none of the fancy
    schmancy college ivory tower type.



































    Since the F.D.R. administration and it hasn't gone away since.

    History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational
    basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the
    unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and
    spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from
    fiddling with it.

    It was interesting to read some of that thread and note peoples'
    comments prior to the Congestion Charge being introduced. I wonder if
    any of them have changed their views now that it's increased on area
    and cost. I know I have and am now less pro-CC (as it is now) than I
    was then.

    Yeah, nice try there, trollie -- but the shooter was a Korean
    national, not a Yank.

    And you apparently have much less class than I've given you credit for
    in the past.

    No? I thought 'my hatred of the bitch' actually sounds a lot worse
    somehow, but ETTO.

    It's "We" now is it? Actually it IS "We", but that's got nothing to do with
    YOUR "We" as it's a very definite OUR "We".
    And the reason that infanticide is ever more popular.

    Daddy! Granted, we committed patricide 169 years
    Still OUR "We", not yours.

    I think you're still touchy about that.

    And I think you actually believe that, which is really sad.
    Would it be Ok if I visited the Vietnam wall too?

    When you've tasted glory yourself, maybe your opinion would have some
    credence. Still, can't have it all eh?

    Yes you fucking well have. My WIFE. She's Swedish and she demands a racial
    insult right fucking NOW, so get your thinking cap on.


    would pay even more than they do
    Well they can't buy a piece of London Bridge, coz some thick septic ****
    bought it thinking it was Tower Bridge.
    Yeah, I'd say t was time to ditch the monarchy, but if that means having a
    president, I'll stick woth what we've got.

  11. No, lets be fair about this, he has a point. I mean, were it me in that
    situation I would have considered it only right and proper to head
    straight for the nearest BBC reporter and tell my tale to the nation
    without expectation of anything other than an OBE for my troubles,
    possibly a knighthood for the officers. Is it just a coincidence that
    the Canadians no longer control our free and independent media but the
    Australians do? I think not. Look no further than the Southern
    Hemisphere for the true cause of all the world's ills.

    Naaaaaah, Swedes are 'family'; similarly Norwegians, Danes and [IMHO] even
    the Finns. Anyway, what can be more insulting than reminding them of Abba.
    However much it's denied in Arizona, he really did think he was getting
    Tower Bridge. My old dad met him.
    I'd go for a German-style President - cheap-to-run, senior
    statesman/diplomat, widely-respected figurehead - rather than a US- or
    French-style puffed-up head of state with serious executive and
    mischief-making powers.

    Real bullets? I thought you were a pacifist. If you are coming armed, wear
    a bright red coat and start your tour of the US in Concord and Lexington.
    THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!

  16. I was supposed to be one of them, but I had my lottery win
    deferred while I did my PhD and there was a convenient change of
    government before I finished that.

    Yes, especially as things were uncovered as time passed.

  18. Steady on, Murdoch's not Australian. He became an American on
    September 4 1985, thereby losing Australian citizenship.
