    Pictures, chosen wisely, can make the words go down more easily.

    Honest to God, I'm becoming such a peaceful S.O.B. I have to keep looking at my left hand to make sure some dastardly individual hasn't handed me a bouquet.

    I'm in need of a rant and have no impetus or inspiration!!

    Echidna means well, but, like many others, is not capable of imagining him/herself (just being PC here, Echidna) in our shoes-your idea of a stateside invite for a thorough brainwashing and reconstruction is more and more intriguing......

    I bet he/she (Echidna-would you help me out here?) could have lots of fun on the streets of San Francisco with a good supply of duct tape, huh?

    Yup-there's really nothing like being an American (in the United States of...).

    Indeed, Tripod is a fearsome foe.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    Clocker-we can't afford such sloppy work; remember, we tenured you because we thought you were up to standard-should we reconsider?

    This will probably be the last time I respond to this particular topic...as it is working itself into ever decreasing circles however,

    I am a Brit and have been living in the US for almost a year. I will however be returning to the UK in just a few weeks (see you round yours for a cuppa, Bass)

    I have lived with Americans...you are (on the whole) the same as 'us' with the same concerns, hopes, dreams, fears......

    Even a democracy is never truly democratic, plurality is an illusion to keep us all from despair.

    We who speak of forebearance have no power...we cannot control the media or our governments...only through discourse can our true feelings be articulated...but we can change nothing and cannot be blamed as individuals for the evil that governments do.
