Oh and you do know the Statue of Liberty was a French gift, right?  You often in the habit of accepting gifts from the French?  You gonna give it back now cos it's French?

So your government wasted billions building an impractical and hideously expensive passenger jet and you are proud of that???

Look in the mirror and think of the dental care you could have bought with the money you spent on taxes instead.

Man maybe you guys will be kind enough to buy NASA from us (actually you can have it for FREE as far as I am concerned, what a bargain!!!!) and be proud of that.  In fact we have a whole host of "cool" government agencies you are welcome to:  The DOE, EPA, Dept of Education, Peace Corps and about a billion others too numerous to mention here come to mind.

Where the Brits who had their brains removed Blair backers?

(I COLD say that Beetle is one of the 20,000, but that would be mean) ;)

Yes, Swoop, there is a movement here in the States to return the Statue of Liberty to France- only we're modifying it first by having BOTH hands raised.

Yeah that's a funny topic you've found there, Funked. People who commit suicide having their brain's removed without any form of consent from relatives is always a good laugh.

Hooligan - what's this about dental care? I've never heard that one before! Jesus, you are originality incarnate!

And now I'm going to a Rude special (edited for brevity):

"You're all just jealous."

Oh and for the record it's "an" SST....


     Sorry, but "an" is only used when preceding a word that starts with a vowel.

aww, come on my fellow Americans!  Swallow your pride and admit that Dowding and Swoopy actually have a point.  So the UK and the French worked together and have an SST to show for it while the USA doesn't.  It's not like they get to be on top very often, so let them have their pride.  ;)
