It's the diet Americans enjoy. You off-gass so much you upset our relatively mild hot airing.

All that bull manure causes problems all over the world. No wonder you dinnae like Kyoto :D


Here we go again.  Europeans blaming the US for their screw ups.  If they'd stop sitting on the side lines crying about how horrible the US makes their lives, there might be a few decent countries over there.

Please promise never to come and visit....please, please please....we're trying to keep our ratio of adults to ignorant obnoxious bigots as low as possible and your staying on your side of the pond would be of great assistance  in our quest.

Ps. Have a good blackout? (Humming the tune of "Banana Republic" as I type....)

Pps. This post is also available in a North American version (but not Canadian) and include those words and phrases more easily understood in that region - ie. "Nuke Em!!", "Bring it On!!", "Kill em All", "Large Fries with that?" as well as "Salute" and the all time favourite - the shallow and stomach churning "Have a nice day" uttered with fake sincerity.

If I don't come visit, you won't have an economy.

Sorry... but I for one did visit.  3ys.  Good times, I left... I was glad.  Your right, England should do everything possible to limit the number of obnoxious adults.  Never in all my travels have I seen so many in one place.

Darth Vader can't run, as he was born in a galaxy far far away, and therefor is disqualified for the US Presidency.  One must be born in the USA.

As far as WMD's, I am withholding judgement for a little longer.

It has only been four months since "end of major military action".  Hell, I've lost my car keys for longer than that.

Hmm, maybe the USA should invade this galaxy so that Darth will be qualified then?

Speaking of car keys, I just found mine after being missing for 6 months.  It was my only set, too.  I knew they'd turn up eventually.

As I said it was probably due to lack of gun ownership in the big white north!

Or perhaps Canadians have a different definition to looting and rioting?

They probably weren't being obnoxious.....you just were having difficulty adjusting to local customs ie queues and couldn't speak the local language.

Which does much to confirm this posters second to original point :D.

This is fun Martlet. You Americans shall make excellent pets once our World Domination Plan goes public beta. :D

Last count, "a few" hardly constituted quorum.

You guys have released several World Domination Plan beta's.  None of them ever go gold, though.  They all fail miserably and go back for testing.  On the other hand, the U.S.A. beta launched, it went gold than continued on to be a best seller.  It's still the hottest game out there.  You should learn from it.

Americans are crucial to tourism in the UK," says Neil Wootton, managing director of the British travel firm Premium Tours. "They bring in more tourist revenue than any other nation in the world. They are far more likely to go out, go on tours, buy souvenirs, go to the theater
