Ha! Hold on to that sheep! Is it or is it not true that you people have sex
with sheep by putting their hind legs in your rubber boots and try to force the sheep over a cliff. Fess up!
GRANNY.
I am sworn to secrecy ... in an effort to distract you in your dogged pursuit, you should see what the Ploppies do with wallabies!
Originally posted by DraxusI've lived in the USA all my life and when I am told how "ugly" Americans are, I always think "Y'know, I didn't choose to be born here; I'm not to blame" And when I'm told by jingoists how "lucky" I am to have been born here, I think the same thing. Then, there's the inevitable "love it or leave it" bunch; of them I wonder if they'd be so kind as to pay my way to Sweden, New Zealand, or Switzerland and put me up there?
Exactly! The rest of the world isn't that bad, and personally, I don't even watch TV. I have lived outside of the US and it is very nice.

In general most countries will wellcome you if you have something to contribute, I believe that would be true for the US also - though I sometime wonder if it is also true for the Americans.

Originally posted by FMFExcellent post, by the way.
An upside down flag? Don't know really. Never given it much thought. Presumably it would be a political gesture. Any suggestion that it was an expression of hatred for [b]a group of people would be plain daft, of course. Like those who criticize Israel being immediately branded as [/i]anti-semetic.[/i] That, and braying [i]You hate Americans! You hate ...[text shortened]... arze Ritter, not me. He likes to list them. And he's not in the least bit ashamed of doing so.[/b]
