Welllllll, we're not perfect. No government or nation of people can be perfect. So forgive us.

The difference between the U.S. and other western nations is this; When businessmen become involved in some shady dealings that harm the people who are their stockholders (Enron), or carry on illegal trade with foreign dictators, they are prosecuted when caught.

In other countries, they are elevated to important government posts and leading positions in the United Nations.

You will need to learn French Italian ...

wot, propaganda? I don't believe it!

No, I didn't see it. I don't get BBC4 or any other exotic premium channel. I'm a basic 1-5 guy. Tried SkyTV once - it wasn't worth the money.

Beetle, does 1-5 mean you get only 5 sations?

beet1e · « **Reply #36 on:** March 24, 2005, 09:41:53 AM »

Yes. I only get 5 stations. Most people get a lot more because they have cable. Some have SkyTV, others have a FreeView box and get additional stations. But I'm not a great TV viewer. I prefer watching movies on DVD, so I buy and sell lots of those on eBay.

I have SKY TV but I'm out enjoying myself most of the time so I watch very little TV.

Anyway, it seems that an American made this programme but the UK still get the blame...?!

Oh well, you guys should stop worrying about what other countries think of you. Who gives a toss, just get on with it, nothing will change peoples attitudes. Quite frankly I have no major problem with the US but with any country you get genuine nice folks and you get ignorant prettythangh0les. Chill out!

scary stuff? sheesh... this from a guy who when the sun came out one time on his dreary little island.... he seen his shadow and hid for a week. And then wrote a letter to the queen asking to ban tall people in all black clothing.

Who cares what you think about Americans or American politics?

this is great... dude and skydancer in the same thread... they have so much in common... both socialists without a clue and both under false identities. Maybe they could get a few more identities to flesh out their back slapping?

how witty!! Now go buy another gun so you can put down that 'I'm gay' feeling you've always had since you were a little boy playing with your best friends boy toy.. 8)

oh... I don't know... seems you and skydancer (cracks me up to even type his gay handle) are more likely to be of the secretive gay persauasion... you guys seem to be a lot more dishonest and evasive. If I were gay I would simply admit it.

ok, I'll take the bait.. How have I been dishonest?? Or is that simply something you 'need' to believe?? Does it help keep quiet all the gay impulses you must have?? Or are hte guns enough??
