In his 1986 song, "Heartland (51st State of the USA)," Matt Johnson whined about the Americanization of Great Britain. It's been more than 20 years, and oh how things have changed. I posit that the United States would now be foolish to make Great Britain its 51st state. Here's why:

I took a moment to read the article reached by your link. It's a rather overwrought, ignorant, malicious little screed written by nobody in particular. Do you spend a lot of time reading material like that? It would explain a lot.

Despite your proud and bristling Americanism, you come across as a rather nihilistic misery guts who gets his satisfaction from flaunting his contempt for just about everyone and everything. Whatever isn't right in your life, I sincerely hope it sorts itself out.

And when you start easing off on your daily dollops of hatespeech (you've had your racist diatribes erased by Forum Moderators twice in the last few days alone) and when you stop giving us links to websites that offer nothing more than ludicrously spiteful vituperation or intellectually dishonest "analysis" (sources which very often do not even support the conclusions you somehow manage to glean from them), then we will know that you've turned the corner and your life is on the up and up again.

You say: "I posit that the United States would now be foolish to make Great Britain its 51st state." This absurd hypothesis could, in fact, be fun to debate. But not with you. You bring all this churlishness and rancour to the debate - to just about every debate.

You seem to have done nothing and been nowhere. And you have a chip on your shoulder whenever you interact with people who have. People reading this will know exactly what I'm talking about.

The differences between the U.S. and the U.K. can be interesting to discuss. The differences between the U.K. in 1986 and the U.K. in 2008 could also stimulate an interesting disussion. But why on earth would anyone want to discuss these things with someone like you?

You miserable whelp. First you drag my good name down in the dirt and now you attempt to psychoanalyze me? Why don't you consult a witchdoctor to throw some chicken bones on the ground to divine what's wrong with me? Or better yet, why don't you pay him to make a voodoo doll and stick pins in it so that I will go away? Your mewling, whiny screed has left me unperturbed. Indeed, it has revivified me and I feel great! By the way, I'm not going away because I like rubbing your face in my effluence. Eat up!

By the way, No. 1 fan, I didn't suggest the U.S. make Great Britain the 51st state, Matt Johnson did. I merely pointed out that some people think it would be horrible idea.

weak. you might as well call him "stupider". your reply is from 5th grade at best


good name? what good name? are you that oblivious? do you think anyone here likes you or even respects you in the slightest? some people piss me off with their right wing pro bush views. like sms. but his posts are much more respectful to other opinions than yours. his posts are not racist or hateful. you don't even make your own opinions you just google and paste the most offensive stuff. and when people don't agree with the mighty dsr(well duh) you call them "stupider" and state that your opinion is the only one that matters anyway, and screw us all.

you are nothing but a little troll, you respect nothing. you don't even respect your US because if you did you would not make us think it is full of little dsr whiners and rednecks.

maybe the dsr you show in this forum is different from the dsr that goes to work. it better be or you would have been shot long ago for being a public annoyance.

who cares what you said? fmf read the link just out of curiosity or perhaps he thought it would be better than watching the paint dry. or maybe it was the proverbial last straw and finally decided to kick your ass so he needed material.

the fact is that you made such an impact on our lives that nobody bothers to read your crapy links. we thank you immensely, now go away.

Once again, you start with a completely inaccurate statement as the basis for the rest of your
post: Your name hasn't been 'good' since your first few posts here. It's cried out, over and over,
how spiteful and miserable your life is and how you strive to scapegoat everybody else for it.

I won't stoop to your childish taunt. I'll just continue to expose your views, and by extension you,
as the fraudulent justifications for your deep-seeded hate for that which is different from you.
