I got this in an e-mail and can't verify it's actually by Robin Williams, but it's still good.

THE ROBIN WILLIAMS PEACE PLAN

This may very well be the best thought out item we have read since 9/11/01. Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan ... what we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.

I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.

1. The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega, Milosovich and the rest of those good ol' boys: We will never "interfere" again.

2. We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one sneaking through holes in the fence.

3. All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where they are. France would welcome them.

4. All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5. No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" (for "deport") and it's back home baby.

6. The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing non-polluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7. Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8. If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides, most of what we give them is stolen or given to the Army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9. Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10. All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The language we speak is ENGLISH.....learn it...or LEAVE...

Is it the "Robin Williams Peace Plan" time of the month again already?

Did you guys know that the Italian police have a Ferrari? It's way cool.

Sounds more like something off right wing radio than Robin Williams but hey...if it stops Americans from continually whining about a) How grateful we all should be for America and b) How actually we're all just jealous and want to emigrate to the favoured shore I'm all for it.

shade... we do believe that you are jealous... why else would you be so interested in every facet of American life and not your tiny little island ?

ferchrissakes lazs:

It is not a "tiny little island". It is almost as large as one of those small eastern commie states (like Massachusetts). And as recently as a hundred years ago it had a proud tradition of personal freedom.

And there's still some way cool folks living there that really understand Labradors, pheasants and how to use a shotgun in conjunction with these two aformentioned items.

Of course, they almost all live out in the country and mind their own business so you don't hear much about them.

Kind of like here, I guess.

A) You are grateful, and B) You are jealous. Admit it, and you will feel better instantly:D

A. It's not my island, I'm from Africa - i'm just here to take jobs from the locals and B. I've lived in America - well to be honest California - and it wasn't all that impressive.

Schade,

Actually it's very impressive. If you can cut the mustard. Apparently you couldn't so you spend your free time on an American BBS and taking "pot shots" at the country and what we do here as well as abroad. This sounds very like the symptom of a jealous person and you should be grateful.

One could just as easily ask why you Americans are so interested in us and our tiny little island and the rest of the EU for that matter. You seem forever interested in pointing out how much better you are, perhaps a little insecurity going on?
