count only the votes which have been handed in by a deadline whilst not
checking if Bud, the hillbilly sheriff of nowheres-ville, has left
several thousand votes in the trunk of his Chevy 'by mistake,' then
force a recount of only some of the votes within just one state and
allow only 12 seconds for the recount to take place; then be amazed that
the recount hasn't finished by the deadline and increase the deadline by
another 3.2 seconds; then ignore all votes and let 4 judges decide the
result, making sure the judges all support the same candidate; then tell
other countries how to run their own elections.

Answers... If you answered: mostly (a)s & (b)s, then you are a
normal well-balanced individual. mostly (c)'s, then......QED :P
Sorry guys, you know I love you all really, and I fully accept that the Brits are all white, fat, spotty, xenophobes (before you point this out to me!) :)Emma

Post em! I don't think anyone here is that thin-skinned (at least they shouldn't be).
All good humor has a grain of truth (sometimes more) to it.

Gee, well I suppose the fact that you arrived THREE YEARS too late doesn't really matter... (and South Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand declared war WHEN on the nice Nazis again???)
Dude, you guys made a profit on WWII which paid for your boom in the 50's, while the rest of the world was rebuilding from absolute rubble.

I think it was more the US was trying to stay out of it for as long as possible.
But it wasn't like we were totally uninvolved. We did ship a heckuva lot of weapons over to Britain in our "civilian" vessels. Worked OK for a while. Dang U-Boats. :P

Nothing like a bit of controversy on this fine forum of ours!
Glad to see that apart from making ridiculous and false statements about the war and stuff, everyone has managed to remain quite well-balanced....
I knew skydivers weren't like 'other' Americans....;)

Hmm,
This attack with a chair in front of a pumped-up rabble? Do you think Ester Ranzten would go for this? Or good morning britain?
Must say, glad I'm a deathly pale, fat, pimply Brit with no sense of humour..... :D
