Mark Ferguson,
Your inference convinces me that you're too dumb and ignorant to understand any explanation I might offer.
I made no inferences Patrick.
It's interesting that sales of salsa passed ketchup years ago.
Bill,
It's interesting the facts you discover on these fine GCA threads.
I would rather have nachos or a burrito than a hot dog or meat pie any day, but not over a decent burger.
Then why do millions of immigrants, legal and illegal stream to America seeking a better life?
A facile argument Patrick. Millions of people emigrated to the UK in the last dozen or so years, despite the fact that England is almost entirely populated with fat, lager-swilling 15 year-old single mothers. The USA, at least for the moment, is a first world country.
Mark, you've posted your anti-American rants from foreign shores on numerous occasions, yet, history has shown that time after time, when there's a problem in the world America is called upon to fix it.
Financial assistance that results in higher taxes and the precious lives of American men and women is the price we've paid to help solve the problems of others.
America has waded into far more situations where it wasn't wanted in order to impose its view on the world - that has cost far more American lives and money than countries asking for help.
You've been, are and continue to be an envious, mean spirited anti-American scum bag.
Others who don't know your anti-American history should be made aware of it.
Envious? I live in the best country in the world, I have nothing to be envious of. I am not mean spirited, I am not anti-American, and I suppose being called a scumbag is at least a step up from being called a retard.
The American people supported, reaffirmed and expressed their confidence and trust in these three men by re-electing them to a second term.
Which only goes to show the stupidity and selfishness of the American electorate. And when your opponents are the likes of John Kerry, there isn't much choice.
YOUR characterizations of President Reagan, President Clinton and President Bush, three terrific Presidents who served their country in the manner in which the American electorate voted them into office, as a "B grade actor, an adulterous perjurer and a coke snorting drunk" is despicable and indicative of the vile contempt you have for America.
If those three are your idea of terrific leaders, then it is you that has vile contempt for America, not me. Reagan set the USA on its current path to oblivion. The USA, the greatest capitalist society on earth, now the world's biggest debtor, reduced to handing around the begging bowl every year because it can't live within its means.
Bush was a joke, a part-time President, a bumbling moron who must be the only person in the USA besides you who believes in supply-side economics. Clinton did some good, but repealing the Glass-Steagal act was the icing on Reagan's cake that led to the current destruction of the USA and millions of lives.
And never forget, that if it wasn't for America you'd be speaking Japanese.
Yeah, right.
Mark,
Just one question: if the Chinese army were to invade Australia to take your natural resources rather than buy them, would you be in favor of US military assistance?
Bill,
Perhaps you could tell me how the Chinese army could get to Australia without us noticing them?
And no, I wouldn't be in favour of US military assistance. The US military tend to shoot more of their own people than enemy combatants.
