Post partially inappropriate, so it has been edited

(V): but the point ppl are making to you yes we all love our countries but you go overboard
saying we dont have nasty things happening
in fact were no better or worse than any other country in the

ustica tnp: Little early for that. Still has to go through the House. There could be some miracle still to keep this awful thing from happening.

And your other comments are inappropriate, and will not be tolerated. (Which ever group you choose to put in)

Snoopy:I NOMINATE YOU The best post of the year. we are all human, all countries have or had their flaws. some day... an end to nationalism.. and then I can return from the south pole.... wait... all of my posts were # 1, but yours wins 2nd

Artful Dodger: first item on our national news tonight
your health care bill

Artful Dodger: Unfortunately, their strategy seems to be, "Let's just get this through, we can unruffle feathers later"

Artful Dodger: am i right in thinking just before Bush went
the USA was very close to being bankrupt
if thats the case whats happened since that they suddenly can find this money

Artful Dodger: I was listening to something yesterday, and the guy was saying that the Dems understand they are going to lose seats, but to get this through (since most of it is impossible to get rid of once it's started) is worth the risk.

Artful Dodger: Amazing? My word is DISGUSTING

Artful Dodger: that teach me not to believe everything i hear on the BBC..lol

rod03801: Unfortunately, their strategy seems to be, "Let's just get this through, we can unruffle feathers later"


To me it is eerily similar to Bush and the Iraq war.... Most republicans wanted to take Saddam out of power, and they just said and did what they had to, just to get it done and worry about the consequences later

The BIGGEST issue I have right now is that Bam was elected to change this sort of tone and so it is worse now, when the democrats have an issue they want done, no matter the consequences, because they were elected to not be like that!

Just goes to show politics is no different, Bam is no different, democrats are no different, there has not been, nor will there be, change anyone can believe in. The democrats are more frauds than Bush ever was, because they ran on being different, at least Bush never lied to the world like the dems have!

I would love to see the likes of nance Pelosi to be out on term limits and have no benefits and have to then find a real job... it makes me sick, the entitlements that she will have the rest of her life simply for being a representative in our government!!!!

We need to make representing charity work, something someone does to be altruistic, with little or no personal gains involved, then see what happens to that smug smile on Pelosis' face, the one where she knows no matter what she is set for a privileged life simply because she is a representative in our government????

Artful Dodger: I heard that there are several layers to both parties, moderates and extremists, etc. Have your parties.. but there is always common ground and that is a good start

Snoopy: I've never said bad things don't happen here.. but I choose to focus on the good.

Artful Dodger: And same could be said about the lawyers that keep your legal system paying out millions, the healthcare companies saying no to treatment using disgusting little clauses just to make a buck more... I hear they bribed Hillary in some form when she tried to get reforms. And at the same time 40 million Americans don't contribute.

Your taxes are already paying for healthcare, your system in some form does need a change.

(V): yep thats true to point where you make the UK sound has if its paradise

Snoopy: ... Old saying you can't learn anything in heaven... And I don't see us humans having all reached enlightenment yet

(V): but you go on and on to the point where everyone else is fed up of listening to you

Snoopy: I'm not the only one that goes on on this board.... Guess it's the politician in all of us.

Artful Dodger: I think you all in the USA can agree your current litigation system needs a re vamp.. less costs for all if pay outs are reasonable.. And yet everyone wants more and it seems as the lawyers get a % they are not stopping such greed.

It's called having corruption everywhere in some form. Sometimes little changes everywhere can lead to a big change overall.

Is he now through editorial selection dictate that everything else in America is fine and dandy?

Artful Dodger: Exactly.

I've caught up with me games and I'm off for now.. Got some cooking to do to save time tomorrow..... The gravy!!

Merry Christmas

(V): and theres so much corruption going on in the UK to which you fail to mention

Snoopy: Actually I have mentioned the corruption, several times.

Merry Christmas.

Artful Dodger: it happens in every walk of life somewhere down the road

ewwwwwwww.......premade gravy.....its gotta be fresh and not thickened.....more like a jus...that intensifies the flavour

when the republic, prey in the senato floor. for the senator can t make to the floor, tell me what the means?... means they sore loserrrrrrrrrrrrr..........

Humor depends on ones perspective. If you don't find this to be funny, it may speak of your nature. Remember, humor always has a line of truth running through it:

For those that don't know about history . . . Here is a condensed version:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers.
They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting
of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals, and
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain, and that was the beginning of agriculture.
Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative
movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide
how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, pharmacists, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives,
athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That
is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America.
They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for
nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history:

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.

Bwild: BRAVO!!!!

Bwild: By eck, ow does that republicans were democrats and democrats were republicans fit into thy story?

My brain hurts!!!!!!

Bwild: hahaha

Bwild:

Tuesday: Aye.. something like that.. also as a look back, the modern parties in the USA are young as is that the American civil war was not that long ago.

One has to ask if the laws of rebound apply to such events!

Snoopy: I find the idea that we are taught that we are that easily offended is crass, and someone's way of keeping a job that is not needed.

A pox on political correctness!!

(V): im sick and tired of being told i cannot wish ppl a Happy Christmas anymore has it may offend
it will always be Christmas in my eyes
and wishing ppl a Happy Holiday dosnt mean the same in anyone eyes

Snoopy: OAP's on the bus the other day singing Christmas songs, Christmas lights, trees, inflatable Santa's outside houses.

I recon those who moan about using Happy Xmas and all just don't like Christmas.. That is their problem.

(V): i love to see a court case where someone tries and sues over bingo numbers
it be laughed out of court

It is obvious to me that this latest "terrorist attack' attempt was nothing more than an inside job by Obama and his neocon cronies, as a rouse to gain more support for their illegal wars on terror!

When are we all going to wake up?

Bernice: What's gravy got to do with politics?

Czuch: hahahhahaha good one !But we all know Bush was behind this and Cheney orchestrated it

Starsky: and the more you pull ppl up on this board tells everyone exactly who this really is

Snoopy: I always say that. I am not even religious. What can they do? Sue me? Bring it on!
I have more of a problem with(diverting off the subject here)that a lot of people(miserable buggers)cant even be bothered to post one message a year such as Merry Christmas in Fellowships.
How much effort does that take? What is wrong with people?

prize tournie. How much effort does it take for the person that wins it to say thank you?
What the heck is going on with this country?

Mousetrap: having a bad day mousey are you

Snoopy: I think the laughter would ripple into a countrywide belly laugh!!

Czuch: ... Obama!! I thought he was democrat... has some strange conspiracy theory gone totally ga ga??
