America Bashing ain't cool - and anyway, it's off topic. :(
If bashing the american government is illegal, why are there protests?
America allows its people to criticise the government. The states are a much better country than most american democrats (and foreigners in general... seems Michael Moore really got the anti-american attitude up. Whenever I argue about america, some idiot is bound to say "but in F911, blah blah". God, I wanna punch anyone who mentions that movie in the groin. It's a load of crap.) think.
All I was saying is that instead Lenin meeting with others on the situation in Russia / the Middle East, he could think about how things are going in his ountry for a minute.
In the end, the punch line is... "don't mess with the consumers or the people!" :D
Doesnt america have a law that throws people in jail for flag burning lol. Thats the same thing as critizing a constitution.
I shouldnt talk though, about ten years ago an american soldier morched around a baseball game in the states during the world series with a canadian flag upside down (it was toronto against someone) and people in toronto were going to hold american flags upside down when the series went to toronto as revenge.
But they were threatened, security would grab anybody that did that.
Thats the only baseball game in my life I was going to watch too, (because of the contriversy) but I forgot all about it. I hate baseball, next to golf its the worlds most boring sport.
Fun to play though.
They've been trying for an amendment to the constitution to prevent this, but currently there isn't a federal law about flag burning. In fact, burning is the recommended way to destroy old flags.Quote:

oh - and BK -- (butt out)
I4one - you can't be serious, can you? I do live here and your take on things is just flat out wrong. Why should I butt out, btw? Just let you spew your misleading pablum unchallenged?
I bet a draft will wake up america, lol.
I was trying to be nice BK - about your off-topic comment
Now - if you feel the need to "report this post to a moderator" - go ahead and get it closed ...but if you do - you'd be no better than a mamby pamby tattle-telling school girl :D
BTW...
We are in a "War on ...an Adjective"
and because many believe that - our civil liberties are being cut out from underneath where you stand.
enuff 'bout it from me --- Just don't let Tbirdy take any trips to Russia :D
you're correct - but it's not funnyQuote:

never heard of that word before, had to look it up. Learn something new everytime I read sharkyforums. Even if it's not all computer related... lolQuote:
