If I recall correctly, right wingers were harping on left wingers, left wingers on right wingers, and moderates were harped on and being harped by both.

I think that pretty much summarizes everything that happened here since the last database backup. If everybody would be so kind as to assume their last known position, we'll be harping on eachother again in short order.

Thanks for your cooperation.

You left off the Obama bad, Pattersons only bad to racists, and health plans that punish fit people with money are ok as long as it's for the chilrun.

We're getting predictable. Time to switch parties everyone. I just became a democrat. Put all your money in the hat and I'll pass it out to my special friends.

-Something about media bias

-Brit. mentioning how their media is unbiased

-ATHEISM!

-Foriegn opinions about America (you aint all that)

-...the odd complaint about a bad rep ding without a signature.

To be fair, if you're going to add the remark about America not being all that you also need to include "You'd all be speaking German if it wasn't for us!"

I think it may have been a conspiracy, with Bob as one of the main co-conspirators.

We had the worlds problems solved; we were living and communicating in perfect Zen like harmony…and now it all gone. Kaput.

What’d the Man pay you Bob?? Huh? Come on fess up.

Oh....we forgot.

Americans, Canadians, and Europeans like the same things but they do them in different ways.

And (just for Tez, Suke, and Yorkshirelad) Tez, you may complain that your screenwash is making manky marks on the bonnet, but unless you tell us Americans that the windshield washer fluid is spattering nn to your hood, we won't know what the heck you're talking about. :D

I'll chime in with a Mystic-Imperialist perspective: The land should be ruled by a Sacred King, through whom the energies of the axid mundi flow to the land for its potection and fructification. To prevent despotism, said King should be ritually murdered every so often to ensure changeovers in government, and to procure the blessings of the gods, whomever or whatever they may be.

Wotan Rules! Ahura Mazda is da man! Zoroaster da bomb!

Thinking "the people" are far too collectively stupid to have the right to self rule,

So is it really only the Canadians who understand both the American and British slang?

I’m off to sit on the Chesterfield now….

I got paid in Rum to hose the last weeks data by the leaders of the secret new world order. I also got a new tin foil hat to wear to keep the messages out. :D

Sofa so good; tho' I would choose to couch that in different terms ...

... and tho I normally won't sit still for people corrupting the English language, in this case of the differences between real English and it's colonial forms shall have to be accepted lying down. No sense in being an armchair bibliologue after all or I could soon find myself without a leg to stand in and cease to be part of the furniture ...
