American jaunts into other people's countries.

Non of which I did yesterday. Simply briefly shared a joke at a prediction I made with a fellow member. This was deemed as unacceptable by some people who regularly gang up on other posters in an often fairly sycophantic way to drown out any voices who different to there's. This is a democracy is it not. The rest of the time my posts were respectful I did fall into a rage lambasting other posters in a slightly patronising way. Some double standards here me thinks. Wasn't like this back in the day. I prefer the old blue moon. Shame really

Was that when you posted some propaganda and then when it was challenged you responded with "Bingo", "Bulls Eye" and "Back of the Net".
Hilarious.

Is it any wonder the Americans have invaded so many countries. They've done most by mistake

Face palm.:(

Make America Great? Why not wind that back a little to Make America Average.

A year after 9/11 I was talking to a guy in a bar in NY and he knew literally fuck all about US foreign policy and how this affects how they are viewed. I also saw a video where Americans thought Scotland was in London.

Only our drunks and psychos America. Only our drunks and psychos. Ok a few good ones too making it work.

Well to be fair it wasn't meant for everyone. I simply predicted the exact style of the responses that I would get and my predictions came true. I must do the lotto!! I didn't have a problem with my thoughts being challenged... it's the sycophantic ganging up by the same old usual suspects. It's got a bit of the Stuart Lee Top Gear sketch about it. With Clarkson being the Alpha bully and Hammond being his sniffing tag along. That was my prediction and it all came true. Anyway its over now.... please move on.... get over yourself. We've all had enough of it now. Friends? ???

So, whats the origins of budgie smugglers?

The great Budgie heist from way back?

People need to know.

Budgie smuggling has its origins in the Russian Empire, pre-1917, when the proletariat were ordered to live as frugally as possible by the ruling elite. Games of chess could lead to instant death. A quick round of Ludo would have to be done in the dark. To ensure any and all "leisure" activities were done incognito, workers devised a cunning ruse, namely, small birds, either a canary, or more often a budgerigar, would be secreted into the hem of the working man's trouser. The birds were skillfully trained to identify any members of the ruling elite (normally the faberge egg dangling around the neck was the 1st give away). The bird would then tweet a warning signal and the draughts, kerplunk sticks or, in the more daring households, the Buckaroo set, would be immediately whisked into the parlour. Prior to any game, members of the family would ascertain who was hiding the bird and who, therefore, was wearing the "budgie smugglers". This practice also led to the mistaken belief that the phrase, "sing like a canary" came from the same source. Sadly, that was not the case. This phrase owes its lineage to the world's tallest man, Robert Wadlow, who, when singing, had his head head so high, it appeared as though a bird were tweeting.

That's a fair point. Maybe the US could of avoided this by not being quite so hawkish. Blindly supporting Israel. Having a fair domestic social structure where the canard of the "American dream" isn't actually a nightmare.

Maybe if a new America fit for this century with the monumental challenges facing the world was to reach out, admit disastrous decisions. Maybe if it was to free it's political system from the corporate oligarchy that has captured it and sets about steering the country down a road that is bad for its citizens and disastrous for the world. The 28th of March WILL start the process that frees the world from this and it is America's own doing that has caused this.

Fascinating. And Over The Shoulder Boulder Holders? I’m thinking Tibet.

Platitude, un-nuanced hyperpole, platitude, platitude, forecast of doom, prediction of monumental upheaval. End transmission.

This formula works on lots of folks and has done for ages.
