  1. I heard that Obama has [I]S*X with a BL**K WOMAN... And there are children involved!!! I'm sure that this sort of thing hasn't happened since Thomas Jefferson, and at least he had the decency to be discreet about it!

  2. it's not his home, it belongs to the taxpayers.... Perhaps it's better to liken it to a hotel suite, or military base housing; something which comes with the job. While Y'All can say where he lives, can you say exactly how he lives there? Incidentally, in Scotland (which has at present some of the most draconian no-smoking legislation) you CAN smoke in hotel bedrooms legally. Mike.

  3. As evidenced by the wonderful patriotic right wing... if they are so adamant in support of war.. they need to go fight it themselves. I hasten to re-iterate that this is the first time the Americans REALISED they'd been Goering'd. It's reasonable to wonder how much examination the "Zimmerman Telegram" would bear. It finally tipped America into war in 1917, but the whole source and provenance was hardly unbiased... WHY would such a telegram be sent, given that the wire passed through enemy territory? Mike.

  4. Thank you. I did wonder if part of this exercise was an assessment of the American position toward Europe; Globalism Vs. Isolationism. In effect, would the US increase the risk to it's own population mitigating the risk to the European (or target) population, and to what degree would they do so? Mike.

  5. Right here... America & Western Europe... Where we have reasonably free speech and reasonably fair elections. It's just that Iraq was the first time we have realised we'd been Goering'd ""Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."" "There is one difference," [Gustave Gilbert] pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars." ""Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."" Mike.

  6. An unfair question, in that I don't think they actually offered the correct answer. Wasn't the debate about whether new states would (or could) be slave-owning or emancipated, and in what proportion? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  7. Absolutely. It's not "our" job to tell him whether he can take legal drugs such as alcohol or tobacco in what is now HIS home.... As long as he pays for his smokes same as we do. Mike.

  8. Hi Mikey, None of the links in your post work for me. Judging by the tone of the rest of the post, are you attacking the people who post here, for posting here? Mike.

  9. Yes There Is! Although it may be the first time a proper democracy has launched a war of aggression. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.
  10. Since We're Posting Songs...
  11. I missed 6 for the 81.8%. Terrifying to think that even the folk setting the test could get 6 of the answers wrong! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

  13. My current favourite Bush comment is: "January 20th, 2009 marks The End of An EraError."
  14. Fallschirmjäger!? Luftübertragen! If he's ever had a drunken mess night then he'll have learned the words... The Regiment may not have many traditions (yet) but that's certainly one of them.

  16. Yeah... Made him stand up in court and sing "Rot Scheint Die SonneGesichter"!? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.
  17. He doesn't have enough ethics to stop him from suing... that he's too uncoordinated to stand and piss at the same time. Thank you. Personally, I would have staggered out on the bloody stumps of dismembered legs rather than admit that. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  18. Yes. The vaccination would need to have been repeated to maintain immunity. In effect, at present it's as if no-one in America or Europe has ever been vaccinated. Why mass vaccinate against something which no longer exists. Now it's ring vaccination post diagnosis. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  19. From: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/south_of_scotland/7767638.stm "Para loses lavatory damages claim A former paratrooper has lost a three-year battle for compensation after falling into the urinal trough of a public toilet in the Borders. Doug Porter suffered serious back injuries after slipping on wet tiles in the lavatory in Hawick in 2005. He blamed Scottish Borders Council and launched a compensation claim at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. It ruled the authority did all that could reasonably be expected to keep the toilets clean and dry. Mr Porter fell into the urinal in the building beside Hawick Town Hall on 2 September 2005. His brother Steven visited the toilets a few days after the accident and told the court the floor looked as if it had not been cleaned for "years". The council denied liability saying the toilets were regularly checked and maintained and that there had been no previous accidents involving the tiles. In her judgement Morag Wise QC accepted Mr Porter had been wearing sensible rubber-soled shoes on the day of the accident and no alcohol had been involved. However, she added that the former member of the Parachute Regiment had failed to prove that the council did not take reasonable care for his safety and dismissed the liability claim. Badly affected She said: "In light of the history of use of the toilets in question and the absence of complaints over such a long period, it was not reasonable to expect the defenders to do any more than they did to keep the public toilets clean and dry for the safety of those entering at the relevant time." Mr Porter's brother Steven said he had been badly affected by the fall. "He suffered bad back injuries as a result of the fall and has only been able to do light work since," he said A spokeswoman for Scottish Borders Council said it was pleased with the outcome which justified "the stance taken in this case". Would YOU have claimed or would you have been too embarrased? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  20. From Achmed the Dead Terrorist Feel free to post your favourite Achmed. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.
  21. Yes. But the purpose of a "Religious War" (the current most likely cause of such a terrorist incident) is to exterminate the unbeliever. Not incapacitate him. Smallpox was the favoured scenario when "playing" Bio-War against the Soviets. It's virulent but non persistent, with high incapacitance and relatively low mortality. Ideal when you want to invade a relatively intact country. I just believe that a current terrorist group would have different preferences, so would seek a different agent. Of course, their primary choice would be what they can obtain and culture, but I believe they would go for the highest mortality, and Smallpox doesn't do it. Even Anthrax may be better from the religious point of view. Vaccination or Treatment in early diagnosis is largely irrelevant in the early stages of such a "game", when the agent used isn't known. In the later stages, knowledge of the agent determines the response tactics, and ultimately the response strategy. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  22. ROFLMFAO !!!!!!!! Of all the thing which are arguable wrong with the US Medical Care System, This is the one that's been fixed. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.
  23. Same here, but as Marg says, there's a distinct possibility that those vaccinations have expired. Incidentally, how did they administer the Cow-Pox Vaccine when you were a child? Did you, like, have to visit a farm, or did they bring a cow to your school? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  24. Me neither. I assume MArg can answer this stuff, but since it's only 8am her time, she must still be recovering from last night's party.
