Where Where, Did I miss something

You know those pictures he linked to of the rugby hunks? Well, he was inspired by the glorifying of the male physique and, well, he..........


I can say no more, I am overcome

sitting here fanning myself.

Yeah, or you could lighten up and learn to take a joke.

even when it's not meant as a joke?

How about, Im sure all the allied countries that lost thousands and thousands of men/women fighting to save democracy will be pleased to know the States is showing their dead such disrespect for risking their lives.....!

How about NOT

What does that mean?

That means that when you are dealing with people who make ignorant comments you do not lower yourself to their level in ignorance. IF you feel you must make a comeback then make an intelligent one. You can make a point without being argumentative and/or heavy handed. Logic wins out over emotion in that case.

Other than that I would refer to 'some people' rather than 'the States', I do not see why Sue's retort would be considered inappropriate or argumentative.

The people who made the original comment were both rude and wrong and deserve a heavy-handed reply.

I had to read her comment twice to see what she was trying to say. I didn't say anything about her comment in my posting.

Personally I didn't care for it.


I repeat you don't have to lower yourself to the same level, that defeats the whole purpose of correcting misinformation.

I felt Sue was pointing out to them that other countries lost many also?

Like I said I read it twice.

And that particular Yank you are talking to can take a joke a damn sight better than most, thats for sure.

I must say I didn't understand that response to ABY's statment either. A joke is when something is funny, not some ham handed misinformed statement.

If you could've won WW2 on your own then how come you were defeated by a partisan peoples army in Vietnam and in Korea?

Why make fun of McDonalds when he has so much more than they do to poke fun at. The fact that the US lost more battles in the Revolutionary war than it won. The fact that a US attempt to snatch Canada from the redcoats ended up with them getting their arses kicked all the way back to Washington (a town named after a sub standard General that lost more battles than he won) and then had the humiliation of watching their capitol get burnt to the ground.

I will add to this tomorrow...when I have a bit more time and inclination to educate you a bit more on the real history of your country as your (and nearly every other) elementary school only gave you the rose coloured version.

Paul Revere midnight ride my arse.
