As an Englishman who is currently in the USA on business i feel i must ask this question.
Most Americans i have met always seem to late and i was wondering if this stems from World War two, where as everybody knows they were infamously late.

They deserve a home and have suffered great deals of pain and suffering during the Holocaust. Considering that we as a nation adore and love them so much and to sacrifice peace for the world in general, why dont we just give them NY since the majority of American Jews live there. As such, we would gain the love and support of Jews all over the world ! Shalom to all our brothers and sisters in Israel

if GW had been caught getting head from an intern, prior to sending them there? They didn't mind Bill sending troops into Bosnia when he got caught with his dingaling in Monica's mouth.

How can Israel claim to be a peaceful country when they have slaughtered and displaced Palestinians since World War II. Below is a link to a picture that show the size of the Jewish settlements between 1920-1948.

The new song and dance seems to be Democrat and liberal dissent to the war in Iraq are the main causes of the problems faced by the military on the ground there.

How does this work logistically?
How does dissent at home impede the efficiency of an all-volunteer army fighting more than 15 000 kilometers away from the dissenters?

A while back I was thinking about joining the navy and aiming for the Illustrator/Draftsman rating but now it's been merged into a MC.
"This rating was created in July 2006 by merging the following ratings: Journalist (JO), Photographer's Mate (PH), Draftsman (DM), and Lithographer's (LI)."

Ok so, If you are an MC does that mean you work with ALL of those types of things or you can still simply just be an Illustrator or photographer? This also includes people that work with video right?

Also, I have spoken with a couple enlisted people who say stuff like that is extremely hard to get into because it's overmanned. However, I always see "Arts +Photography" and "News and Media" opportunities on job boards (Monster,Hotjobs) for the Navy. If they're not available why do they advertise it so much?

I was just thinking, Alaska and Hawaii were the last two U.S. territories to become states, and there's been lots of talk but no consensus on making Puerto Rico a state. What have been the past few places to become U.S. territories, and the dates they became territories?


Anyone who answers Iraq or Afghanistan will have their answer deleted.

I am a law-abiding, indigenous Englishman working full-time and has a post-grad.

How possibly can some scruffy turd-herder from the third-world enrich or enlighten me?
My culture remains far superior to anything they may offer. I have no interest in their pathetic music, dance or cinema.

BTW- I hate South Asian food- it tastes like crap and I never shop at corner stores.
In fact- I boycott any and all business deemed foreign.
Support our farmers= buy British!

How am I enriched by their presence which I find offensive and exploitative of my native brethren?

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.

The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.


John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)

I see literally dozens of trolling posts made here daily, often personal attacks based against someone's party "enemies". Why should we even consider ourselves to be a competent society (or people in general) if some people cannot even provide a rational debate to their beliefs?
