We Are All Spaniards

Or the best one of all, the old 50 something chevy sedan with barrels
welded on for floats and a prop attached to the driveshaft. The picture
of the Cuban driving, sitting there with the window down and his arm
resting on the top of the door like he's driving to town is priceless.

well, Finnland is too far away from Cuba .. they take the next best chance.

Well according to you it's about the 7th best chance.

There's no opportunity in Europe. Germany and France have their economy
standing still, not growing. Here in the States our economy is growing
at an average 4% rate, right in the sweet spot for avoiding inflation,
etc. We are humming right along like we always do. You all sit there
and bitch and whine. Like you always do.

Last week I heard that 70% of the Brits approved of the war. Was this
in error?

This thread has been an eye-openeer, and this particular mail
has finally prompted me to get to my keyboard. This is unbelievably
patronising. The former Spanish government took Spain into
a war against the expressed will of the Spanish people, just
as my government's country did (the United Kingdom). The purported
basis for the war has been demonstrated now to have been false.
The Spanish people have voted, in a democratic way, to remove
that government.

I know it's hard for quite a few Americans to accept it (evidently
including Jay), but just because the US government wants to do
something, doesn't mean that everyone in the whole world should
agree with them.

Guess if I ever do come to Iowa City (not honestly very likely), I'll
be looking for another hotel.

Have you watched any TV in the UK? 'nuff said.

Uh, have you ever seen the condition of the average Brit's teeth?

I mean, I'm a dentist, so it would be expected I would notice, but just look at
them.

Their dental health system alone should religate them to third world status.

Sad, but we'll get by without you, John.

If a conversation about world politics so upsets your delicate nature, I
can
only wonder how you survive in the real world.

'cause it's real easy to hide behind a keyboard and a newsgroup......

Yes. I don't know where you heard it (Fox maybe?) but it
absolutely is not the case. I can't recall exact figures from
a year ago, but there was always a majority of the country
against it. There was a brief blip just after the start of things
when the level of approval went up, before things started to
get ugly and the real long term problem became apparent.

No fluoridation, but they saved their precious bodily fluids.

Jerk!

Wow -- you must've thought long and hard on that one before pushing
"Send"...

Yes...for him.

Why is it that people of your ilk can't seem to discuss world events like
gentlemen?

Probably because he's NOT a gentleman, and he certainly doesn't seem mature.
Petulant brat is more the indication. No wonder so many not only _want_ a
welfare state, but NEED one.
