Lord Hlaalu

I don't know if anyone's seen "American Dad", but the one episode I've seen sounds similar to Team America. *Noise in the kitchen at night. the dad comes downstairs with two pistols, does some rolling around in the interest of 'stealth', and calls "Bin Laden, is that you?"* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, American Dad is a funny show!! Although it reminds me too much of Family Guy.

Yes, and I'm sorry because I over-reacted, if indeed it was pure joking. And I will admit that Bush is a terrible diplomat (he can wield the military all he wants, but that doesn't make him a good diplomat), and I hoped Kerry would win, but.... You can't have everything. However, I do resent the comment regarding 'hillbillies'. Bush isn't a hillbilly, he's a redneck :laugh2: Which is still pretty close. :) But not very many rednecks or hillbillies act the way he does, because he happens to be very very wealthy. (some would call him a 'rich' redneck :laugh2: ). And Canada most definitely is a better place to live than America :), I'm not disputing that.

This maybe because the UN feels they need to be nice to special little america with their big tough military and their french fries...not to mention hill billys. :rolleyes: :kiss: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I said earlier, just because they happen to have a different way of life than you doesn't make hillbillies any worse than other people.... And look at what the UN has to say here: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0778562.html Note the position of the US in relation to the United Kingdom, and this is coming straight from the UN.

I seriously doubt you've ever met a true hillbilly :) I live in Arkansas, believe me, I have, and its not a very pretty sight..... But that doesn't make a person lesser than you or anyone else.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just noticed some things about this. :laugh2: First off, its funny how bitter the British are when they suddenly realize that America is separate, and aren't a bunch of colonies anymore. :) Please, this is 2005, don't stay stuck in the 1700s. Actually, I guess it would be better to tell you Brits not to stay stuck in the Dark Ages, what with your monarchy and all. A little separation anxiety, there? :) And it would do you good to remember that the United Nations World Headquarters are in New York City...... Perhaps whoever wrote this (or anyone who agrees with it) are being hypocritical? They say these things about America, yet they put the World Headquarters for the United Nations in New York City.... :huh2: :wink2: And the person who originated this article obviously knows little to nothing of American history. We changed from your over-done, 'fancified' English to our American English not because we are lazy, but because the Founding Fathers thought it important that we have a somewhat different language from our former parent country, as a sign of separation. And actually, baseball is qutie prominent in Japan. Maybe it's you who don't realize there is a world outside of your borders. And might I bring up World War II?? Is this a very proper way to thank us for saving your rears? You don't know very much about American society, do you? We don't think that French fries are chips, we think they are French fries. Huge difference between the two. See, French fries are elongated (most of the time), and three-dimensional. Chips are flat and round. And please, remember that it was YOU who invented the English, or common, system of measurement. Kinda calling yourselves stupid there, aren't you? And if we declared war on France, that wouldn't please Chirac very well, would it? Please, don't try to use us as your little tools to carry out grudges that are hundreds of years old, especially when you don't want to do it yourselves..... :) As a sidenote, I would beg any of you to TRY to pull off a Southern American accent..... Much harder to do than any English accent out there, I'd wager. Any blumbering guy out there can make his voice a lot higher, and put a high-and-mighty, better-than-you, proper twang in his voice, thus making himself sound English. Well, thats about it for now, there is lots more to post, but this whole bashing America thing has been done so many times, it's hard to go on.... :)

I know, it is BS to call it the World Series. I'm just saying, that is the excuse the Americans use to justify it. Yes, the beauty of politics. Every time politicians try to manage a war, even when they are doing it with the best of intentions (Pres. Johnson, Vietnam war), the results tend to be disastrous. I'm not saying that politics should stay entirely out of the war. Afterall, negotiations are part of war, I'm merely saying that the politicians stay out of the actual desicion making. After all they wouldn't want the military to interfere in the negotiations table, so why interfere on the battlefield? Stupid politics. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, you're forgetting that the President is also the Commander-in-Chief of all military forces, so politics are intricately tied into war.

No no no, you've got that backwards. It's the rest of the world that's going to be integrated into the American Empire. You see, you missed one tiny flaw in your little plan back then. Isolation from the rest of the world produces a nice sense of superiority. And when that superiority happens to be backed with the world's most powerful military.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And yet you are not superior which would make you deluded and/or confused, this topped up with the fact that you are backed up with the world's most powerful military scares everyone.... :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, you like to think America isn't superior, but when it comes down to it, who do the United Nations listen to.....? Oh right, America..... :)
