Pot pie done yet, Princess?
By deductive reasoning, I may only presume that you are INSISTING that a Ducati is therefore shit, as "you don't own SHIT until you own a DUCATI"??? LMFAO! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
SPORTY ~ they're probably going to insist that I MYSELF am sexist when I point out that their inadequacies at debate come from their deplorable testosterone deficiency! LMFAO! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
I may not go down in history, but I'll go down on your sister!
2)my testosterone levels are not unusual, given that i am actually female <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
and i agree...ducatis ARE shit <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">

Jeez, they must have hit you several times.
1) But i'll bet you do the Garbageman.
2)Then I'm thinkin' that you never wear short skirts because your balls show.
Man of Kent - Go wank yerself, you pencil-neck geek! Good God, man! Consider corrective surgery or something! I'm pretty sure you have not only an inferiority complex, but an Oedipus Complex as well....cause the last time you had pussy was when pussy had you. Bugger off, ya' cherryboy!
I may not go down in history, but I'll go down on your sister!
I like you Sportster, you make me laugh and yet you have no redeeeming features.
Did you know that KY is a lubricant over here, I'm sure you'd find it useful next time you lay down with your 'woman'.
Squeeeeeeel, piggy.
excuse me? until now i found your comments rather amusing, but now you have confirmed that you possess neither intelligence or humour <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
i don't do garbagemen, we don't have them <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">
as for the balls comment, i ain't even gonna bother....i never realised american women were so different to british ones <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum
I did KNOW that KY stands for Kentucky, dude. I was taking the piss.
The thing about us Brits is that we can laugh at ourselves. The 'Cherryboy' and 'lube' insults are both predicatable and innaccurate. So please try to use your imagination - I know you have one - if you are going to insult me, make it a good one.
*agrees wholeheartedly*
sportster, u are a bit of a tosser really. stop with the personal insults, they have no place.
and stop with ur supposedly intelligent comments, they merely show ur southern heritage.
If there's anything more important than my ego around here, i want it caught and shot now

In any case, what would replace them? An elected President? No, because no-one ever gives up power voluntarily. TB and friends can barely tolerate a second chamber, let alone a President! Keep 'em. It's just too much bother, and we have bigger problems to deal with.
And Doubro, "9" referred to the Supreme Court. In Britain the Judiciary is kept well and truly out of choosing the government. The American failure to do so is what I object to. And you ARE A FEDERAL REPUBLIC. Look it up in the back of an atlas.
erm . . . I might be being silly, but they didn't actually leave coz we suck, as we dont, but they wanted to spread out over the world.
You were one of our colonies for years!
The only reason that you are not still part of the United Kingdom is that your egos got so big that you thought you were too good for us, drove one of our kings insane, and we got bored of chasing you!
Then you thought that you could make a better job of ruling America on your own, but you made your own faults, just as we did. Please remember that you may have managed to break free of us in the war of independance, but the paths that our countries have taken to our present situations are not dissimilar.
And if we all suck so much, please explain this to me:
I work in a place called Brodick Castle. Every other day we find ourselves inundated with loud, brash Americans, delighted to be in "Bonnie old Scotland" and to "get in touch with their roots". You can't imagine how dumb that sounds in an American accent. If Britain sucks so much, why do you insist in annoying us by demanding Haggis and scottish oatcakes?
Can you? I can. They feel that they are part of it.
As for the whole civil unrest factor, I agree with what has been said. Everyone has it. And they survive. And learn. For example, the Scots forgave the English for the Clearances.
And you may speak English, but at least WE can spell it!
My training in Standard Grade History may insist that I give a balanced view, which I hope I have, but it wont make me back up that Anthems and symbols are examples of the true patriotism and Identity of a person. Unless you actually believe what you say or Display on a uniform - that you are an intrinsic part of your countryu and society, its not true.
Don't sing SSB unless you really feel that you are an american, deep down with all it entails. Or wear the symbol of the crown unless you are Truly Brittish, in your heart.
I was born in Glasgow. But I still couldn't sing Flower of Scotland if I wasn't SURE that I believed that we could "be our own nation again". And that doesn't mean independant. It means part of our own countryside and culture. But I can, because I do.
You don't have to have been born somewhere to feel that you are a part of it.
So never say that a country sucks. It may do to you, but not to those who are a part of it.
*starts to sing softly: "oh flower of scotland . . . when will we see . . . "*
"Our lives are but specks of dust, falling through the fingers of time . . . Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives"
Socrates
Man of Kent/Opra bitch - I apologize.
But this IS brainwashing. There is nothing symbolic about it. This is exactly the same process the US objected to China, Vietnam, Cambodia etc.
To repeat on of the comments you have made there; Isn't this an almost perfect definition of brainwashing?The adults believe that the children cannot form their own opinion and so force theirs on them. Can't the children decide for themselves, as they mature? Isn't that part of being 'free'?
At no point in this country do we tell children that they MUST have a monarchy, or that they MUST have democratically elected Govt. And we never insist that EVERYONE signs the National Anthem.
Demanding that the National Anthem is sung in school before the day begins is no different to expecting them to repeat the mantra "Four feet good, two feet bad".
The votes of EVERYONE who voted for Gore in Florida counted for shit when the electoral college votes were cast. How many of the Florida College voted for Gore, even though he polled approximately 50% of the popular vote in that State?
Not every state has the same number of electoral votes, does it? So a candidate could win the majority in the popular vote, the majority of states and yet still lose the race, couldn't they?
No, there is no conservative bashing going on (NB in this country it is the conservatives who are most pro-royal). This is a case of double standards.
You profess to be 'guardians of democracy' and yet you aren't one.
You also profess that the British are brainwashed, yet you brainwash your own children daily.
Accepted.
If I have caused any offence then you should know that was my intention <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
Can we have reasoned arguments now?
[This message has been edited by Man Of Kent (edited 14-08-2001).]
I'm not at all offended.....but you are to be commended for your efforts.
Damn! no wonder it tasted like shit with peanut butter! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif">
<In any case, what would replace them? An elected President? No, because no-one ever gives up power voluntarily.>
That's why there is a constitutional limit of two terms here in the U.S..
<And Doubro, "9" referred to the Supreme Court. In Britain the Judiciary is kept well and truly out of choosing the government.>
Well, then Supreme Court was simply undoing the error of the Florida State Court, by simply ordering them to STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE GODDAMN ELECTION. OTHERWISE IT WAS THE NUMBER OF MACHINE AND FAIRLY HAND COUNTED BALLOTS, THAT DECIDED THE ELECTION...regardless of what propaganda you Left leaning Euros feed to each other about it.
< The American failure to do so is what I object to. And you ARE A FEDERAL REPUBLIC. Look it up in the back of an atlas.[/B][/QUOTE]>
If, by saying "FEDERAL REPUBLIC" you mean a "CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC" which has a limited but centralized federal government which regulates interstate commerce, taxes and "federal" crimes. then YES We have a "Federalized" Republic, but that is NOT THE SAME THING AS A "FEDERATION" OF STATES (Which implies complete authority in the central government).
It may be that your English Atlas has made a mistake in the description of our system. It wouldn't be the first time. The words are simlilar, but have a great difference in meaning.

<The only reason that you are not still part of the United Kingdom is that your egos got so big that you thought you were too good for us, drove one of our kings insane, and we got bored of chasing you!>
Um, You sure it didn't have anything to do with a desire to be free from a tyrannical ruler, a desire which ultimately cost many of the men who signed the Declaration of independance their fortunes and even thier lives...?
<Please remember that you may have managed to break free of us in the war of independance, but the paths that our countries have taken to our present situations are not dissimilar.>
So?
<And if we all suck so much, please explain this to me:...why do you insist in annoying us by demanding Haggis and scottish oatcakes?>
There are morons here as well as in your country. We send ours to you to get you back for the Spice Girls.
<As for the whole civil unrest factor, I agree with what has been said. Everyone has it. And they survive. And learn. For example, the Scots forgave the English for the Clearances.>
If I was Irish, I'd be pissed off until England was out of Ireland.
<And you may speak English, but at least WE can spell it!>
Fuck that... Tomatoe?
<My training in Standard Grade History may insist that I give a balanced view,>
Like the "balanced" view you gave about the Americans starting the Revolution just because they thought they were "Better than the British"? Hmmm really balanced... like a one legged dog trying to take a piss.
All I want to know is , how do you think you can be a "Nation" again, without being independant? It seems to me that a soveriegn nation must be independant in order to be free. Take a clue for the various as scattered sub "Nations" in the U.S... there are groups like the "Nation of Islam" or the "Cherokee NAtion", but they are simply minority groups... Is that what Scottland aspires to be? Another "Affirmative Action" welfare recipiant?
If that's the case, then YOU DO SUCK!
Touche. I think that is something we should certaionly apologise for. But you gave us New Kids on the Block first <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
We have better food, though. So there. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">
Shame u dont have better attitudes really... well it would seem some of u on here dont anyway!
turkey pie?! turkey pie vs fish n chips, hmmmmmm wonder what would win there. or even fries vs chips. chips are sooo much better <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">
