I'd buy a lifetime supply of Budweiser, Smirnoff Ice, and all the ingrediants I would need to make Bloody Marrys and Colorado bull dogs for the rest of my life.

Then I'd build me a nice, high-tech, home. I'd build a room specificly for game servers. Then set me up tons of servers for people to get all the pirated games, software, music, movies they could get thier hands on.

Get me several of the fastest connections money can buy.

In the next room would be from left to right of nothing but the fastest computers and the most comfortable chairs to play in. Set up some plasma tvs with urnials in the rooms.

Me and my brothers would just sit back, drink some cold ones, play some serious multiplayer, and piss.

It's too much to hope for. I'm only getting started but I'm going to end it here. I could go on for days.

But mainly, a serious gaming center.

Watch it bud, I'm American...

Though I'm not fat. Unless you consider 6'4 250 pounds fat. Ok so I have a beer belly, whats it to ya.

Besides...I prefer pizza. Or spegetti. Or a nice sandwich with lettece, tomatoes, cheese, ham, and of course, miricle whip. Its just not a sandwich without that good shit.

I'd also have a JYM in my house. Good place to work out.

Of course in the JYM won't be your typical work out place. We wouldn't be doing exercise, it'd be more like "Sexercise". Id have stations that have hot women, some stations come with a mat to roll around on.

There would be a foreplay section.
A teasing section. A multiple orgasm section. You'd have to go around and fuck as many women as possible. I'd get a work out.

Damn I'm doing it again.

I'll brb....I need some ice.

Well I don't know anyone that goes to mcdonalds. Mostly those big fat black chicks(no offence to any african american fat women).

I drive by one of those, see tons of women eating there. Me and my buds go to eat at a steakhouse(not much healthier lol).

I get a work out when I'm with Sarah of course. She brings a new meaning to pushups. Man, when she squeezes with her ass its like....DAMN IT.

How is it every conversation I get in, ends with sex. Maybe its because I haven't been gettin any latley. She'll be back tomorrow though.

Nope.

You're the idiot.

Your 'joke' was crass, rude, tasteless, inflammatory and most of all unfunny.

It's perfectly reasonable to react like Hobbes did... IMO, Spider_Dude showed great restraint.

Saying "I'd fund a group that exists solely to cause misery and death" is not funny, however you look at it. If that is your idea of a joke then you need your head examined.

For the benefit of the forum, could we please draw a line under this? I don't want to have to close a good thread over something stupid.

(edit: Well done, hobbes. Few people would be so open-minded. Thanks.)

French during WW2 could be more or less divided in 4 catagories:

The colaborationists, the resistants ,The prisoners, and people who care more about feeding their family, than the war, as starvation ruled.
So why do you skip 3 of those catagories?

Are you French at all. I merely ask to ensure that I don't insult a proper person, by assuming that they are French.

I wouldn't want to tar you with the same brush as a nation of collaborators and apologists.
French during WW2 could be more or less divided in 4 catagories:

The colaborationists, the resistants ,The prisoners, and people who care more about feeding their family, than the war, as starvation ruled.
So why do you skip 3 of those catagories? [/b][/quote]
It's simple, the British were split into one category, the people who fought against Fascism and amongst other things liberated France.

That involved starving their families and sacrificing their sons. So don't get high and mighty about giving up.

Let us not make something complex, simple.

The English are not brave, the French are not cowards, Americans kick ass.

Now thats a bit harsh Arachnid Boy.

They are a sensitive people. Why should they defend justice when there are other people about to do it for them.
Shall I remember your geographiy lessons:

France is only a country of 60 millions people and USA has about 300 millions

With regard to the last couple of posts. I am in the fortunate position of being neither English nor French.

More good luck than good judgment tho'.

Neither am I American, but I wouldn't expect a jingoistic Frenchman to acknowledge the difference.

Too busy justifying your inactivity when the chips are down.

All the goods and food in France were sistematicaly confiscated by the nazis.
French men had also to work in Germany the 2 last years of the war. Lot's of people, especialy children and old people died from starvation. I'm not sure it was the same in england.
