Wish we could still say this...
This is a British guy in India (in the 1800s), but I think it applies just as well to say, Afganistan or Iraq today.
Ahem, General Sir Charles James Napier-
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

We have no right to practice our custom, it is all RACISM!

Good Quote:aok

There is such a thing as sovereignty.
AFAIK, Afghanistan and Iraq are not U.S. colonies.
...or did I miss something in the news?

In the country I come from, we have things called elections. The man who gets the most votes wins.
If someone tries to take over with say, the second most votes, it's called treason, and subject to execution.

i don't know what country you are from, but before you go executing anyone maybe you should find out how the election process works in the USA.

Not only is that an unfounded personal attack, it exemplifies how the bushies can always rely on the dimwitted for support.
Is this the guy who taught you punctuation?

Where I come from, it's the most electoral[/b] votes; not just the popular vote.
Is Gore about to be executed and I didn't hear about it?

You know, now that is was brought up, I actually read a book the other day called the best democracy money can buy. Written by some expat american living in england.
He goes into a detail about a bunch of stuff, including the florida election that decided the 2000 presidential election. He made a pretty good case for the republicans stealing that election in florida.

Hey Urchin, did you know that if you fold a dollar bill up just right you can see George Washington's eye peeking at Martha while she's getting dressed? It's pretty cool....and pretty disturbing.
:eek:
-
Did not know that, although my sister told me about how if you fold a dollar bill up right you can see I think either the capitol or the white house burning. I didn't try it though, its probably against the law...

Personal attack? LMAO
Not quite. Just pointing out the obvious.
Trust me. If I were to attack you. You would want to respond with more then 3 lines and a picture.
And just for the record. While I voted for him. I'm not a Bushie.
I don't even like him and have always maintained that
I just saw and see him as the lessor of two evils.
In any event. Based on your original statement. Provided you really believe what you said. I stand by my words.
"You haven't a clue how the election process works in your own country"
And a word of advise. Seeing as your new here and all.
If your going to make absurd statements. You better be able to back them up with facts.
Cause if ya don't. There are people here on both sides of the isle and a few in between who Are going to eat you alive and thoroughly enjoy doing it. LMAO
Oh and here.

By the summer of 2001, the legitimacy of the Bush administration was coming under serious scrutiny. The Washington Post had a story already in the pipe, detailing several of the means used to steal Florida. I've heard that the NY Times did as well, but I've only actually seen the Post article. Unfortunately most of the country hasn't, because it was supposed to run the week of Sept 11th, 2001.
In many ways, Sept. 11th was the best thing to happen to GWB.
One of the largest scams was the use of a thoroughly crooked and incompetent database company, Choicepoint. Given a list of Florida's convicted felons, Choicepoint was supposed to purge them from the rolls of eligible voters.
What they did was use overly broad matching criteria. E.g., Leroy Brown was a convicted felon, so Choicepoint purged Leroy Brown, Leroy Brown Jr., Leon Brown, Loretta Brown, and L. Roy Brown.
Here are some other findings:

Funny how people who expect elections to be legitimate and the constitution to be upheld are considered "Liberals" these days.
Kinda makes you wonder what "Conservatives" stand for.

You wish we (we?) could emulate colonialists who invaded 'inferior' civilizations and ruled from the barrel of a gun?
Okay, how about this:
"You say that your union customs require reduced working hours, increased wages and higher benefits or you will strike. Very well. We also have a custom: when employees threaten us, we fire them and find new employees. Have your strike line; beside it, my Human Resources people will accept applications from people who will replace you. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
:) ouch...

Wow. Here, in all it's irrefutable glory, is proof that Dubya stole the elections. The idea of framing the whole thing on bad, bad Leroy Brown must be the work of a true criminal mastermind.

...then after the secret CIA missile hit the Pentagon, the hidden explosions were detonated in both WTC towers bringing then down, opening the door for this admin's quest for global oil and crazy wealth ...
.. and they lived happily ever after
