You have to love Americans don't you?

I am sure everyone looks behind a bookcase when their loved ones are missing. Not exactly the sort of place you expect to find someone. Unless of course you live in the holier than thou UK.

 

Just gonna check mine now (and the cupboard under the stairs) - no relatives missing but who knows what I might find??:D

I'm trying to learn where your hatred for Americans comes from.

 

Oh well, not quite sure where and how you got that impression from.... if thats the impression that I leave you with, then that is either due to:

 

1- My lack of communication skills (sometimes, written form leave loads of gaps for misinterpretation).

 

2- Your lack of comprehension.

 

3- A bit of both.

 

There is a good chance that its point 1....:(

Thx for the links..

 

Not sure who this person is - would be interesting to hear who listens to his crap and more worryingly who believes in this, if he does get a lot of air time in the US and people buy into this rubbish then I guess it proves Geordie point, Joe, thx for fighting Geordie's corner :)

 

 

Funny that you picked that link to comment on but have absolutely nothing to say about the other clip. You can clearly see who that sicko (The terrorist holy man) is preaching to and I am sure there are plenty of uneducated and ignorant people who believe every single word that he is saying. ;)

Other one wasn't worth commenting on, cause I don't understand Arabic so have no idea what the guy was saying.

That I agree with....I always try to highlight that we as educated people should look into the sources of these conflicts and reach our own conclusions rather than believing what the media / politicians / etc. WANT US TO BELIEVE.

Spent 9 months living and working in Texas and when it comes to it they seem to think they are the de facto american ?(don't mess with Texas etc etc) I fould the majority of them to be normal people that worked bloody hard and enjoyed a (weak) beer just like the rest of us.

A few are rather insular and will never travel outside the US and to some extremes see no need to leave texas, but its a few. Its more a case of them being diffferent to our own way of doing things, and it's US not them who are trying to hold K values against a US way of doing things - for instance I had no comprehension of how and why they could be so happy about the gun laws, but it's their country so let them to it.

Sure they try to get the rest of the world to follow their examples but then the UK did the some when it was empire building as did many other countries.

No matter what country you live in, there will always be odd folks. just watch the telly on a week morning for dodgy tv shows.

There were subtitles, although the bad men from the west could have fabricated them. :)

 

Plenty of those in any culture/nation/religion mate :D

 

Totally agree, I was not implying that it was just the Palestinians. ;)

More on the story here...

 

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/25/bookcase.death.ap/index.html

 

Both Weber and her sister previously had adjusted the television plug by standing on a bureau next to the shelf and leaning over the top. Her family believes Weber, who was 5-foot-3 and barely 100 pounds, may have fallen headfirst into the space.

 

"She's a little thing," her mother said. "And the bookcase is 6 feet tall and solid. And she couldn't get out."

 

The sheriff's office said Weber appeared to have died because she was unable to breathe in the position she was in.

Not a nice way to go. Nothing to do with the fact she was American, it could have been anybody. But that doesn't change the fact that the US is chock full of obese gun-toting burger-munching war-mongering half-wits even if they do have better Supras than us

 

I belive here in UK we cannot complain about lack of whales roaming on streets, wearing too-small-to-my-ass-and-belly clothes AND with terrible make-up :)
