I have just finished relocating my home office into a new room that I have had built onto my house. I found the cutting from a newspaper of 2001.

America's Ugly Side</b>

The SBS program The Cutting Edge showed a 2001 speech by a British MP: "Since 1945, the Americans have bombed China, Korea, Quatemala, Indonesia,Cuba, The Congo, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Guatemala, Grenada, Libya, El Salvador, Panama, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. How humanitarian can you get?" Why, then, do Americans wonder why they are hated?

Would Jules know which polly it was?

Pedro Martínez: no Im sorry I don't I CCP'd it from another f/ship....but isnt it clever ROFL.....

I think it is probably right.............

***QUOTE OF THE CENTURY,,,,
Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out:


"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."***

Artful Dodger: awwwwww...fankeee......I always knew you weren't just a purty face

Artful Dodger: that is hilarious....I loved it. Do you know how those vids can be saved....that is worth passing around>

Bernice: I looked up google...."P" stands for Prescott.

Ferris Bueller: "P" stands for ....who knows...I don't....I just heard that he had eyes on running for Gov., then the white house.

Ferris Bueller: ummmmm he is the son of GW Bush's Brother.....are you in america? I would have thought you would have known that.

Artful Dodger: makes for another record LOL...3 times misery....ROFL

I asked this further down the board but didnt get any reaction.....so I will try again.

George P Bush for president???

Jim Dandy: sure as hell has a lot of intelligence....

George P Bush for president???

Artful Dodger: who said that? "bring our boys etc? war is war. It is expected that some will die. Death is part of military conflict isn't it? (oops you already said that)

We lost another couple the other day in Afghanistan and while it is sad, it is also part and parcel of being in the military. I am just so pleased that they are given Military funerals, and then get another great send off when they are taken back to their home towns....so touching.

Artful Dodger: ROFL

Artful Dodger: what you dont say is how many have illegal weapons. People who live in the country and need guns to get rid of feral animals and such have unregistered guns. The crime rate hasnt dropped etc as you pointed out, but the trade in illegal weapons has increased. We still dont have drive by's as you do in the USA (thank god) but are starting to get idiots in schools with weapons. typical male testosterone kicking in....these BOYS, and they are only children think they are invincible.
it is so easy to get a license for a gun, but one gun isnt enough for some households, so they revert to illegal purchases.

Last month the UN conducted a world-wide survey by phone.

The only question asked was:-

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food
shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure because of the following:

1. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
2. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
3. In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
4. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
5. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
6. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
7. In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
8. In Australia they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.

New PrimeMinishter for Aus. today?

a woman looks to take over after infighting amongst the factions......

Jim Dandy: I think most of the "rest of the world" has the same thoughts. He isn't looked upon favourably here either...some politicians are right up his.....but the general population hasnt much faith in most of his"promises"

Artful Dodger: oh he will probably take it out of the 30billion he is asking/getting/or has been offered from BP....

week before last our local govt. imposed a user pays method for out water usage....we now have to pay 69cents per 1000litres.

does anybody else have to pay and if so how much?

(V): they were too scared to give the women the vote because of their superior intelligence. And look what happened, some of the most brilliant minds emerged

Snoopy: Thanks

(V): Wikipedia states..."""In the UK voter registration is not compulsory, but registration is actively encouraged by central and local government. Voters must be on the electoral roll in order to vote in national, local or European elections"""

But even so, there should be a "fine" for not voting, even if you are/not registered

Can you please show me where there is a £1000 fine. I can't find anything on that.

(V): it is compulsory here, with a hefty fine if you dont.

Unless you have legitimate and valid reasons.

(V): well at least he isnt as silly or as stupid as the Duke of Edinborough(SP) now he is the biggest "foot in mouth" ever heard of ROFLMBO....the Queen must cringe sometimes LOL

(V): Brown didn't blame "Sue", one of the others did, from what I could hear......

Snoopy: I feel sorry for "Sue"...apparently she is a volunteer and has been for 20 years and is unpaid....she is married to a millionaire....

Snoopy: at least he actually went to the womans home to apologise....I couldnt see many others doing that.....and no I am not a labour supporter LOL

(V): it looks as though they have released that video of the shooting of unarmed civilians and children to the world..

it was on our news this morning

Artful Dodger: OK, sorry I was in that lot as well......

I was wondering how long this was going to take....nit picking I mean.

(V): well I dont really think it is a laughing matter, but that video is hilarious.

Übergeek 바둑이: Then Bin Laden family is one of the rishest families in the world


you didnt mention the assistance this family got from the Bush family,

Artful Dodger: I saw that on the world news....

Artful Dodger: The concept of the suicide bomber dates to the 11th century, when the Assassins adopted it as a strategy to spread Islam through northern Persia. It appeared again among Muslims from India to the Philippines in the 1700's. During World War II, Japanese fighter pilots were recruited for suicide, or kamikaze, missions.

Artful Dodger: and the guy in australia was a Dr. and he was cleared of all wrong doing....he lent his phone to his cousin? and was arrested because of the numbers stored on it.....that is a long time ago and it took the poor bugger a long time to prove his innocence but he is back finishing his medical degree is Australia as are his family.

can you believe that this "comic" has had as much, if not more influence on our modern day language?

It isnt any wonder that kids can't spell/speak correctly...

Vikings: but can they take legal action against Obama.....that is my question.

Artful Dodger: have you seen this?

http://saywhatyoureallymean.blogspot.com/2008/07/very-divisive-obama-quotes.html

Mousetrap: wasn't the doubt brought about by the "AREA51" I seem to remember something about that...maybe I am wrong, but I was like you, as time went on it became more and more of a doubt in peoples minds...

Jim Dandy: last weekend was "Clean up Australia" day...it is held every year, is voluntary for helpers and is a great success and has been for about??? 20 years.
