4. Read It Can't Happen Here...
you'll have to keep reminding yourself that it was written in 1936.

Now that's fucked up.

5. I agree
Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 11:45 PM by libhill
wasn't always that way, but these neo - nazi rethug ass hats are making me feel very ashamed of America right now. If I had the money, I'd relocate to somewhere in Europe. Might have a hard time convincing my wife, but I guess I could persuade her. Europeans, as a whole, seem more enlightened and erudite than the average American. With a more realistic world view.

16. or a stupid Austrian...
The thing that blows me away is the denial of many Americans.

"Everything is just peachie", says Bush. And many believe him.

It is nowhere near peachie.

19. It's about to get un peachier
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 01:00 AM by libhill
if these insane ass hats get their little Iran invasion going. They're going to bring the whole damned world down to dance on our heads, and yell cock-a-doodle fucking do. These dumb assholes should read up on their history, and check out what happened to the Germans under Hitler, and the French under Napoleon. They're too god damned arrogant and stupid to accept that the same thing can happen to America under Bushco.

:D Ich scherze, selbstverständlich. Ich wohnte und studierte in Österreich. :hi:

Einige von meiner Familie ist bayerisch (nah an Starnberg See), und betrachten Österreicher "rednecks." (armer weißer Pavian vom Süden) :rofl:

13. You got that right!
If the upper class in England around 1788 had any sense at all they would have moved to the tropics and left the convicts in cold old England.

Not that I'm complaining, it's winter, not a cloud in the sky, about 75 F. That will do me nicely.

He he, silly Poms.

22. HI Eureka
I was at the test match last week. I couldn't believe my ears when the England support started singing to the Aussies, to the tune of 'Yellow Submarine':

'You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony..'

Repeat ad nauseam.

The Aussies had the last laugh however. When a large group of England fans stacked their beer glasses to show their Boonish drinking ability a much smaller group of Aussies were able to stack a MUCH greater number of glasses. In drinking terms, if not cricket, you are unbeatable.

Great fun all round, actually (specially the result .:D).

18. also see 1984 and the Handmaid's Tale
Actually there are lists of dystopian novels around that would make good reading lists.
