Yes we have found WMDs in the clutches of a country who is incapable of controlling them and cannot be trusted in the world at large.

The name of this obscure state, I hear you clamour? This state, ladies and gentlemen, is called America and is actually capable of firing WMDs at the rest of the world within 45 minutes (or so my dossier says anyway).

Here's an artist's impression of America: we have been told it is 99% accurate

Now our intelligence has been able to uncover some information on this new threat to world peace. Their leader, known only as Bush, is a religious fundamentalist who has disposed of the justice system in favour of trial by accusation and has disposed of his opposition by means of a cruel, murderous election. This is photo of Fuhrer Bush from our intelligence labs. Bush is also of low intelligence: we believe he is actually a poorly made Hollywoods effect robot who went on a ramage through a Republican conference and emerged to find itself their leader.

Ladies and gentlemen, the world is under threat. America has already shown that it is willing to use its WMDs against us - the peoples of Japan and Vietnam hold testament to this sorry fact. Now as we speak our World Coalition bombers have been deployed to bomb America to high heaven in the name of freedom, democracy and some other liberal stuff that we dont really care about but are going to shove in anyway to make this whole war more appeasing to those peace niks back home.

Once we have taken their oil supplies and secured them for a necessary period of 60 years, we may MAY be able to strench ourselves to helping the sickm the dying etc etc. Now I know what you thinking - 60 years is an awfully short time in which to steal all the natives cash but please remember, we must show some humanity! After all these people have been living in a state where they charge you to use hospitals and allow the poor to die on the streets. They are going to need a long period of adaption before they can rejoin the civilised community.

God Bless Peace Out
The Rest of the World President

Thanks

Anything against the government of "his majesty" GWB is good with me!

ahh but can you show proof that this GWB has used WMDs in the recent past?

Just look at his picture and you will find all the answers you need

Yeah I guess this is one of "those" threads. If you're going to criticize the US or Bush, please do so in a way that is in some way original, enlightening, or constructive. This is stupid, and you're just making people dislike you and what you stand for.

Second of all. What the hell is up with all these image macros from the-gateway.net? Ugh, its like Fark vomited in there.

Its a joke friend. Now take some ritalin and go and sit in the corner.

Go back to the insaine asylum you crawled out of you loser.

The US is no where near as bad as France.

Ten points have been added to your 'jackass' rating.
Have a nice day.

Thats my point, its not funny. Its all been done before.

Go back to the insaine asylum you crawled out of you loser.

The US is no where near as bad as France.

Well I was expecting this but then Yanks never have got hang of irony have they? Thats why their comedies are bull.

You not liking them gives me even more incentive to post them.

Once again could everyone please note this statement before I get attacked by foaming at the mouth republicans/patriots/sane people.

Now that I take offense too. I am neither republican, patriotic, or sane.

I wasn't talking to you.

Mostly I was talking to the guy who said "Anything against the government of 'his majesty' GWB is good with me!" And the guy who said "Let me be the first to say: http://www.the-gateway.net/fun/thisthreadrocks." *Although I think the second was a girl.

If you believe the US is so bad. Then why don't you point out a better nation?

Lets say a European nation.

Maybe some people are tired of having everything Bush does or doesn't do attacked, sensationalized, twisted, harrased, and otherwise complained about en masse, without pausing for a moment to consider that it just might not be evil. I know I am.

Oh, and sorry for the "cruel murderous election." We call that democracy.

Yeah, I'm sorry about this tyranny of the majority we live in called "Democracy". Things really should be different, but leave it to idiotic politicians to leave things as-is.

Technicaly the US is a Democratic Republic.

The Greeks were Democratic and the Romans were a Republic... We are cought in the middle.

It's still a tyranny of the majority, just with a few checks and balances to make sure one side doesn't get COMPLETE control.

So everyone is being unfair with... everyone?

I tell this to my History class... the best part of being American is that we get to complain about being American. Then in the same breath we can defend the very country we just slammed. It's the best part of the freedoms we were all given. We can slam the pres., talk redundant politics, or support everyone in gov. and bring up new and inspiring topics without fear of grevious bodily harm (patriot act non-withstanding)
Isn't that whats so great/irritating about America? :p

Lol. while i may not agre with the thead meaning, the delivery is humorous.

It isn't a right for the government to provide healtcare or to take care of you. Thats a nanny state, which is what I call corrupt socialism.

Thats why may family came here.

Also about the Patriot act. Have you ever dissed the presedent and gotten arested? Sued? Forced into manuel labour? Shot? Beaten? No. Didn't think so.

Well I was expecting this but then Yanks never have got hang of irony have they? Thats why their comedies are bull.
If you are talking about British 'humor', it's horrible. It's not just Americans, noone who is not British understands it.

It's still a tyranny of the majority, just with a few checks and balances to make sure one side doesn't get COMPLETE control.


But the fun part, the really fun part :D is that it is our Constitutional duty as Americans to OVERTHROW our own government when we the people (little guys, not rich corp. folks) feel our rights are getting trampled. As Jefferson said, a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing.
History is fun. If we ever do feel we are in a tyranny, we get to riot.

Technicaly the US is a Democratic Republic.

Well, technically a constitution-based federal republic.

Pfft. America is to as Democracy as the Roman Empire was... err... Democracy?

Representive hopefuls are allowed to only run on two platforms (Democrat or Republican) to have any chance of being elected. Once elected, they have no reason to follow through with what they promised on the campaign trail. Show me one politician who hasn't flipped / flopped after getting elected.

Also, remember, most voters form their opinions based on sensationalist media networks owned by giant corporations. Any semblence of true journalism is long since extict.

Once elected, a politician MUST follow his parties agenda for fear of commiting political suicide, also, once elected, he or she is no longer under the influence of the people, but big business and lobbying groups, else without campaign funds he or she has no chance of getting elected.

The Politicians do not serve the interests of the people.
The People are not informed nor are they responsible voters.
Free media never really existed.

America is NOT a Democracy, it is a Republic.

I speak as an employee from a State Senators Office, I've met Federal and Local Representitives and Senators. I've even met Vice President Cheney, they are all real nice people, honest, no one wants to turn America into a corrupt Dictatorship, but the system is flawed.

This post is meant as a satire and should be taken as such. Although, there is alot of truth in it, I say that as a proud freedom loving American.

You don't have to be an extremist, on one side or another, we may not have a real Democracy but neither is the government totally corrupt.

However, now that I'm done playing the wise yoda guy.

I do wish people would realize that while no system is perfect, we have a responsibility to improve it. Start by supporting independant, moderate media and following elections more closely, don't just cast your ballot for whatever politician waves your colors.

Seriously, get off your asses, the system can be improved upon.

It's still a tyranny of the majority, just with a few checks and balances to make sure one side doesn't get COMPLETE control.

No it's not. Tyranny, by definition, would be complete control. You can't possibly make an argument that the Republicans are dicatators. Don't even try. You'd look really stupid if you did.

This has been demonstrated to be untrue. Besides, the Democratic and Republican parties both have people of diverse political ideologies. To say that two parties isn't enough to fit in the entire political spectrum is silly, because they do.

A White Riot, eh? I wanna riot!!!

If the people are tyrants... adn we have the right to voerthrow tyrants...

Then wouldn't we be overthrowing ourselves?

But as long as no one says that we should be Scocialist or Communists or more like France... I'm ok.

No it's not. Tyranny, by definition, would be complete control. You can't possibly make an argument that the Republicans are dicatators. Don't even try. You'd look really stupid if you did.

Of course I'm not going to make that argument, because it is indeed untrue.

Still, with the Democracy we're in, a lot of laws get passed that really shouldn't... Civil Rights, if you know what I mean.

Sir, while I do respect your reply, I SEVERELY doubt such a claim. Even the Senator I work for, who I worship like a god, has flipped flopped on several issues.

When you are exposed to the inner workings of the government day after day, it is impossible not to see opinions change, or promises made to a pro-worker group, then a pro-business group. It's just the way it works.

Show me a Senator or Representitive who dosen't change their mind, and I'll show you someone who dosen't belong in office.

What part are you contending? The part where I said that independents can get elected, or the part where I said that a political party can have members that disagree on a given issue?

Sounds like Kerry...

And my Governor...

You were indeed making that argument in previous posts.

Oh really? Could it have been that I was making the argument that a lot of people really don't know what's best, and vote for something that might fuck a lot of people over? Of course it could have, because that's what I was saying. Republicans and Democrats do this.

And no, I don't know what you mean.

Of course not. You took my other posts out of context, so it's not a surprise that you had no idea of what I was talking about with this one.

The wise nations of the world have built a coalition of the coerced..er..I mean willing to free this country from its brutal dictator.

So far, the military has only been able to release this map, as anything further would be a security risk.

I thought you were talking about flip flopping, sorry. My mistake.

If you are talking about British 'humor', it's horrible. It's not just Americans, noone who is not British understands it.

I hear the Germans are big fans of the stuff :)

Oh...sorry...I forgot. A joke isn't funny unless it's told by Jay Leno :rolleyes:

Meh, I've done better.

Oh...sorry...I forgot. A joke isn't funny unless it's told by Jay Leno :rolleyes:

Leno rambles on too long after the punch line. It's as if he thinks the audience are morons, and they need to have the joke explained to them three times over.

No shit

No shit

Good, somebody else noticed it, too! He's really over-doing it these days. I mean come on, do the setup, pause, say the punch line, and END THE FUCKING JOKE.

Oh, oh you know, it is so fashionable to take a shot at Jay Leno. The fact is the man's out there every bloody night, with fresh material, and he's charming.

YOU'RE A BIG FAT PHONY!!!

Oh...And I hate the way that guy *screams* those crappy punchlines over and over.

Actually..This is confusing me... I know what I find funny, but...well...It's hard to put your finger on "what you find funny" when we try to analyze it like that. And everyone has a different taste.
I like sarcasm and irony alot, like "The Office".

Oh, oh you know, it is so fashionable to take a shot at Jay Leno. The fact is the man's out there every bloody night, with fresh material, and he's charming.

Thank you Family Guy! :)

Back to Brit humor....come on, ya gotta give them monty python......and tim curry, but thats my own personal obsession with Rocky Horror......

nih!

From my knowledge of the english language (it's quite extensive) I'd say that you weren't. Even if you were, don't you think that's a pretty condescending thing to think? Tell me, how does one objectively conclude what is 'best'? What makes your idea of what is 'best' superior to mine?

Of course not. You took my other posts out of context, so it's not a surprise that you had no idea of what I was talking about with this one.

All right, jackass. Let's take a look at your posts, shall we?

Yeah, I'm sorry about this tyranny of the majority we live in called "Democracy". Things really should be different, but leave it to idiotic politicians to leave things as-is.

It sounds suspiciously as if you are saying that there is a 'tyranny of the majority' in our government. There's not too much to take out of context here.

It's still a tyranny of the majority, just with a few checks and balances to make sure one side doesn't get COMPLETE control.

Again, that meddling little phrase 'tyranny of the majority' pops up. My suspicion that you are (or were, before you realized that you were full of shit and backtracked while at the same time calling me an idiot), in fact, making an argument that there is a tyranny of the majority in our country is growing stronger.

When you said "Still, with the Democracy we're in, a lot of laws get passed that really shouldn't... Civil Rights, if you know what I mean." I didn't know what you were saying and I still don't. Are you trying to say that civil rights laws shouldn't have been passed? That's all that can reasonably be gotten from that sentance. Is it some clever remark? Explain it for us slow-minded redneck conservatives, please.

Well said! We need campaign finance reform like a dying man needs water.

Here is an idea...

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day...

Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime...

Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime...
That's my opinion of the African situation.

It's a good idea too. If you keep giveing people things, they become lazy and rely on you too much.

If you teach them to do things them selves. They become self reliant and dependable.
