I cant believe that there are other people who actually drink this stuff. It's so cheap, yet so easy to drink. Especially Orange Jubilee. Love it. Gets you going pretty quickly. Unfortunately, not many places sell it. Besides certain areas of the ghetto and shady liqour stores. Never stopped me though.

Actually the quote I used is correct, it was not from the Simpsons, it was from some stupid George Bush photo book a friend got me for christmas, and yes a similar quote was said by grounds keeper willy but I know more about the Simpsons than probably anyone on earth so yeah I wouldn't make a mistake like that.
I'd guess the Simpsons on a hunch.

no I just do not se what everyone has one their nationalsim they had nothing to do with anything that their country has become unless of course that they our a founding father or mother so I just think its odd that people would take it so damned personally. I'm sorry if you disagre
Don't get me wrong, I don't pretend to be a representative of my country, nor do I think what comes out of France is all good and all that my country represents is better than anything else. Believe it or not, I'm no patriot.
However, I do feel I ought to put the record straight when people write untruths AND I know they're wrong.
I also feel the need to alert any racist/offensive posts I see, as I have done before, not just posts insulting the French. Let me just make that clear 🙂

Does that make me a patriot? Perhaps. A nationalist? Definitely not.
