Quote: The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses" she's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, "You want a piece of me?" The rest of the piece is so far from liberal assed Robin Williams it isn't even funny.   Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2009 2:58 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND It doesn’t matter who said it Buster it’s the sentiment that counts, or maybe it went over your head.

If we weren't spending all of this money and fuel for 2 jets to go to Copenhagen for Obama and the rest of his half cracked crew to argue to bring the olympics to Chicago, we could send a lot of children to warmer schools and cheaper fuel oil for the buses if he would stay the hell home! In the economic times we are in, now is not the time to spending scads of money to build an olympic village, using migrant workers while we can stand on the bread lines.

Sorry about the rant Howard Anyone else see the news clip a couple of days ago about the street gangs beating that poor kid to death with 4X4s? Oh yeah, lets invite the world to Chicago and show them how much class we have. On the good side at least they would see the people that are causing all our problems. Perhaps we could have a "gangbangin'" sport for the Olympics so we'd win at least one gold medal. Then again the medal would just get stolen on the way home! Edit for European posters: 4X4s refers to a common lumber size here often used for fence posts etc. 4X4 is about 100mm X 100mm and can be purchased in any length, for beating folks to death 4 feet is popular. Uh oh now to convert 4 feet, ummmm 1.3M?   Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2009 8:01 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Thanks for that Bill, I though those street gangs must be strong to batter someone with a four wheel drive truck ( UK 4x4).

I instantly recognized it as yet another instance of a foreigner (that would be you) yet again giving us ridiculously oversimplified "solutions" to all our problems. While it may be fun to give a "hell yeah" to such jingoistic bullcrap from time to time, I just didn't consider this lame and childish piece that's been floating around the Internet since 2003 worth discussing other than to point out that such "conservative" views, childish as they may be, are diametrically opposed to anything that liberal bag of pus Robin Williams might ever say. Speaking of "going over your head" though, did your boyfriend's load go over your head last night or did you get your bald spot sticky again? Inquiring minds want to know.   Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 3:49 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Well if your going to have a slanging match Buster I’ll just leave you to drowned in you own ****ing crap. But I will say one thing about the piece is that it isn’t just about the USA it applies to all the countries mentioned The USA, Canada, Australia and the UK. I know your world revolves around the stupid and bigoted $hit in your head, but it might help if you understood the sentiment of it rather than having a fixation of what’s in Robin Williams a$$.

I like Robbie Williams voice.

The term originated in Britain, expressing a pugnacious attitude towards Russia in the 1870s. During the 19th century in the United States, journalists called this attitude spread-eagleism. "Jingoism" did not enter the U.S. vernacular until near the turn of the 20th century. This nationalistic belligerence was intensified by the sinking of the battleship USS Maine in Havana harbour that led to the Spanish-American War of 1898. _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 10:15 pm Buster Bodine Veteran Member Joined: 22 Apr 2009 Posts: 234 Alstone wrote: Well if your going to have a slanging match Buster I’ll just leave you to drowned in you own ****ing crap.

Al Nice use of smileys there Al, suits your style quite well. The truth is, if the United States took the very advice you're praising and did everything on that list tomorrow, you, Al Stone, would be one of the first ones screaming at the top of your lungs about how the US dragged your poor widdle country into the mess and then walked away leaving you holding the bag. And ironically, you'd be RIGHT. But that's only because you're wrong now. The truth is, you scream "FREEDOM!" out of one of your two faces, and with the other, mutter about what we Americans should and should not be "allowed" to do. The truth is, there aren't any Americans on this board telling you Brits how best to run your country or taking potshots at you based on what your government does. No, that's strictly your gig. You're trying to hide your xenophobia by accusing anyone who disagrees with you of being a xenophobe. Isn't that ironic? Incredibly lame, but ironic. Look at my original comment in this post. It was polite, it was non-threatening, and I didn't address you at all. I didn't even address the content of the piece. I merely made a comment concerning the origin of the piece. An origin you could have easily discovered for yourself if you weren't so intellectually lazy. But, you decided that because I dared make a small correction, I was "after" you and you had to get shiddy in your own passive/aggressive and smarmy way. You just didn't like it when I got shiddy back. hahahaha Too bad, so sad, you had it coming. but oh hell yeah, you're right. It's all me. I'm the bad guy. Obviously. Anyone who doesn't kiss your a$$ when you show it to the world has to be the bad guy, right? You know, the shame of it is, yesterday was the third anniversary of the death of one of my very best friends in the whole world. He lived in London and wanted to move to the US so bad he could barely stand it. He'd come to hate the UK because of the madness and idiocy he found around him and he tried so many times to explain to me just how bad it really was. Even with all the stupidity of the gun bans, the knife bans, and all the rest of the bullsh!t, I couldn't understand what it was he hated so much. I think I've been given a glimpse of it in your posts and I hate like hell that he died surrounded by people like you. Goodbye Al, you're stupid and you're a reprehensible excuse for a human being and I have no urge to converse with you further. Poof. Oh, and by the way... I didn't make any mention of Robin Williams' a$$ or it's contents, that's all coming from inside your own head. You might wanna talk to somebody about that someday.   Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2009 12:39 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Ha,Ha. _________________   Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2009 3:12 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Glorious. _________________ BIG GAP A good idea!     Air Gun Home Forum Index » The BS Topic You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
