Hmmm. Would you be willing to live in a country whom's terms and conditions are increasingly being dictated by Muslims who hate the place and it's citizens....

I was in a Muslim area of London once. Was arguing with the owner of a pc cafe. The computer was a piece of sh*t and i spent my fifty p trying to open my email account to no avail. I asked for my money back and he refused. When I got wound up he said

"Don't forget where you are."

I'm British, born and bred.

I felt like shouting at the top of my lungs - *beep* off back to your own country you f*cking c*nt. Don't forget where you are!"

Luckilly I'm not that outgoing...

Sorry, I'm offloading. And high on coffee

Edgeware road? My friend lived there and I loved chatting with the Iraqis as my home country was invading it. We had a great time together. People are asholes all over the world. Don't let a few rotten apples or governments dictate your thoughts about all the people of a culture.

I'm Canadian. Can we call them provinces instead of States? If so, I'm all for it.

I don't care about much but for the love of god don't lump the Pacific Northwest (my home) in with California. Put Nevada with it, it seems to fit much better.

Well, it would certainly bring this proposed resolution closer to fruition:

Whereas the House of Representatives in common with the people of America is justly proud of its admirable native tongue and regards this most expressive and energetic language as one of the best of its birthrights...Resolved, therefore, that the nobility and gentry of England be courteously invited to send their elder sons and such others as may be destined to appear as politic speakers in Church and State to America for their education...[and after due instruction they be given] certificates of their proficiency in the English language.

I rah-ther enjoyed this one, too:

English is destined to be in the next and succeeding centuries more generally the language of the world than Latin was in the last or French is in the present age. The reason of this is obvious, because the increasing population in America and their universal connection and correspondence with all nations will, aided by the influence of England in the world, whether great or small, force their language into general use, in spite of all the obstacles that may be thrown in their way, if any such there should be...England will never have any more honour, excepting now and then imitating American.

(John Adams, 1780)

It appears that Harpeau has joined the nation bashing minions. Meanwhile somewhere in your hometown they're giving a tax-break to the new McDonald's.

I'm not bashing anybody. I just think John Cleese is funny, that's all. I love all nations. That's why I'm an International Goat Breeder!! Very Happy

give this man a medal. Thank you for posting that so I don't have to.


Just saw this thing getting circulated on facebook. It's.. funny, but what I find more funny is how everyone else is so concerned with the funny/weird/sad things about America. But that's what happens when you're the powerful kid in class. The other ones just want to pick on you. Don't worry- I know what it's like. Growing up I hated Michael Jordan and then eventually Shaq and Kobe. Why? Because I'm a Blazers fan and those guys were bullies.
