Jimmy Jim, James. be oh so careful what you wish for! Isolate yourselves at your peril.
And for the record, I am unaware of any of us 'mere' british types, showing ingratitude for US intervention in wars past. Merely a lack of respect for the opinions of the offspring of those who fought under the US Flag in our aid, stating how we are all free of tyranny thanks to you and your ilke personally.
For my part, I am moved to tears by the sacrifice of all those who fought and died for freedom, I simply hate sanctimony!
Please for once, try not to be such an arse and see the humour in ironic cynicism and sarcasm! Not every post in here needs to be treated as an actual threat!

Absolutely crying here! Not seen that before - so true..

Err, I meant Jeff's post. Not Mr. Craik's.
Jim, who were your Allies in Iraq , Afghanistan , Vietnam and Korea? Grow up you silly person.
Spotted that Pete and thanks for the clarification but to be honest, for those that take the time to read posts properly and show some awareness of regular fellow posters philosophies, it was pretty obvious the meaning you intended to convey, and a bit of a shame you felt the need to clarify things..
We are all brothers here my friend...
Peace & luuurve..

Whew...Jim, consider you a friend, but on this one, just give them an I'm sorry and move on. We were allies through tough times and the relationship with the mother country, and their institutions is strong -- and that's a good thing. Yeah, sometimes they piss me off but at the end of the day there are no other countries that share the same high minded values, institutions and way of life as the UK and its brother countries -- US, NZ, Canada and Australia. the world is a better place due to the bonds we've formed and the values we try to promote.
And yes, that video on our cousins the Swedes is hilarious and dead on. And damn if Bofors didn't make the best intermediate range AA gun of the 20th century!

Collective Guilt on GT40s! That's a new one Jim.
My head hurts trying to work out the implications of this.
Lets try this....
The conversion of actions and thoughts of one single individual into a set of quasi stereotypical national behavourial descriptors usually negative in nature, and subsequently verbally or physically applied to all members of that particular nation or race is called.............

Racism? Or maybe just the sad twaddle of an ornery old man?
Cigar to Pete. Yes.
It is perhaps the most used and in many terms abused word in the English language and by definition, everyone is, has been or will be one before they die, most without intending it.
If my world view of a group of people belonging to a certain ethnic make-up, is completely negative through personal experience and I didn't want a person of that ethnicity moving in next to me, I do not see why I can't say "I do not want a ***** next door", without risking jail time.
But it doesn't really work like that in practice.
Under US Race Hate Laws, What can Jim legally say without risking a bread and water breakfast?
"I do not want any Mexicans living next door to me"
"I do not want any drug dealing Mexicans living next door to me"
"I do not want anybody of African/American appearance living next to me"
"I do not want any of those retarded lazy uneducated criminally inclined blacks living next to me"
Or indeed, is he legally able to make any of the above statements with impunity in US law?

I dont think I can be classed as racist because I hate everyone equally.

Oh dear, it all is just a little lost on you isn't it. The above statement is not what you seem to think it is Jim and again you have taken one comment from another arguement, stripped away the entire conversation before and after said comment and try to use it to justify your own twisted position on life again.
You are not worth the effort of a reply, to anything, from this day forward.
None of this makes any sense.
Ergo: "See You Next Tuesday: A clandestine method of calling someone a cunt".
Why would you want a clandestine method? Surely a cunt is a cunt and the ultimate "put your beer down and call to arms". What do you do go up and whisper" I really love that waistcoat but you are a cunt, seriously.?"
No, I think you run in the room and shout "you absolute cuuuuuuuuunt"! at the top of your voice.
"Pete, Jeff, Keith, I'm sorry, but I see no "humour or ironic cynicism" when he calls my father and his generation a cunt with no balls."
1. Serious flaws here. Jim, I do not believe you understand irony.
2. By definition a cunt has zero balls.
3. Lesson in Irony. You spelled humour the dastardly British way.
"Brits here on the form bad mouth virtual everything about our Country, I say next time you are on your own!"
I like to think we're on form most of the time yes - thanks for the compliment. As for being on our own, that's how the fight started.
That is all.

OK Mark why don't you explain what you meant by this, because it sounds to me like you have called Americas "The Greatest Generation" a cunt with no balls.
Remember, we are tlking about MILLIONS of folks who signed up to fight Dec 8, 1942.
Jeff, you said this:
Whew...Jim, consider you a friend, but on this one, just give them an I'm sorry and move on.
You think I should appologize, are you really OK with Marks discription of our Greatest Generation?
Am I really the only American who is bothered by Marks words............

Back in the day, some "folks" thought this was a secret message, whence far superior beings were trying to reconnect the universal oneness of the twoness, which of course, gets you to the threeness.
Some "folks" just never get/got it.
