Not really Thom... I believe we are focusing on Middle East people...
preferably from Iraq, Iran, Syria and Palestine. I think we are at our
limit of Lebs and the Japs have mostly infused British Columbia with
sufficient wealth. I think last year our focus group were Somalis... now
that we've "integrated" them and they've taken to running in packs and
beating nice white folks... it gives us "Good Ole Boys" sumthin' to do on
Thursday night.... like huntin' Somalis! Great Fun....especially since they
outlawed Fag beating!

The nice thing about those Arabs is that eventually they'll go terminal...
strap on a bomb ... and BOOM. There's so many rednecks up this way... none
of them Muslims gits too Uppity with us.... so that leaves you guys on the
south side... that they HATE! I think there must be about a thousand
terrorist cells in the Maritimes alone.

Yup... youse guys don't want to invade us... nosireee.... it would be a
greeting parade of tick tocking suicide camel jockeys. Our Japs would attack
your economy and our Somalis would steal all your supplies.. The rest of us
good Christian white Folk would just pull up lawn chairs to watch the show
and Pray for your Heathen hides!

Yes I do question why.

England does has the highest percentage of drunks. Americans can shoot and
fight quite well. Who is kicking our ass at present? Who did the US sell out

American business always ran the show. The American Revolution was started
by business leaders who realized that individual freedom led to economic
freedom. Most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence where
wealthy men.

Read "War is a Racket" by Smedley Butler, USMC General, two time Medal Of

Hell, we pay at least that here. The rule of thumb is that a prosperous
individual in the US pays half his income annually in taxes of all forms.
Those include state taxes in addition to federal taxes, but they are f***ing

On a serious note, Avery Brundage fought for decades to keep
professionalism out of the Olympics. Ultimately he was overruled, and
it's damaged the games beyond repair, IMO. Only the relatively non-pro
sports, such as Biathlon, Luge, Skeleton, Bobsled, Curling, etc. hold
my interest any longer. I couldn't care less about snowboard,
freestyle skiing, alpine, men's hockey, and the other pro-based events.
Many of us remember the "miracle on ice" at the Lake Placid 1980 Games,
when the US amateur hockey team beat the highly-pro Russians and went
on to win the gold. That event will never be repeated under the
current paradigm.

Max


Great points. I wish it was purely amateur as well. It really said a lot
when US amateurs, without government funding, took on virtual
professional state run teams of other countries. I also think team
sports should be eliminated.

Amen!


It was tragic when the IOC stooped to the lowest common denominator on
the pro issue. Instead of fighting to keep the games truly amateur, they
caved and let everyone get paid for doing what they do. Now we have
millionaires playing basketball, hockey, skiing, skating, etc. And NBC
would have us believe that these poor, downtrodden athletes have
sacrificed everything to get to the Olympics. Hogwash. If the
governments of the world follow the lead of the IOC, it won't be long
when all drugs are legalized because it's easier to acquiesce to the
elements in the toilet than fight for what is right.

Max


Legalizing all drugs is self regulating. Remember the lab monkeys giving
themselves overdoses?


The ACLU would be screaming bloody murder at the US government for not being
the proper nanny to the idiots who, like the primates, overdosed. The only
upside I see in legalizing drugs is that the sale of them would be taxed,
along with the abandonment of the so-called "war on drugs." A lot of money
would be generated and saved w/r/t the federal coffers.

Of course then we'd have to institute several multi-billion dollar federal
giveaway programs to help those addicted to drugs wean themselves off for a
few months before becoming addicted again.

you didn't do the math right to begin with, thus giving your gov't a
free ride on your money... not exactly good accounting or particulary
smart unless that's what you intended. Since you said that you "just
found out," well, I guess that says it all.

On a serious note, Avery Brundage fought for decades to keep
professionalism out of the Olympics. Ultimately he was overruled,
and it's damaged the games beyond repair, IMO. Only the relatively
non-pro sports, such as Biathlon, Luge, Skeleton, Bobsled, Curling,
etc. hold my interest any longer. I couldn't care less about
snowboard, freestyle skiing, alpine, men's hockey, and the other
pro-based events. Many of us remember the "miracle on ice" at the
Lake Placid 1980 Games, when the US amateur hockey team beat the
highly-pro Russians and went on to win the gold. That event will
never be repeated under the current paradigm.

Great points. I wish it was purely amateur as well. It really said a
lot when US amateurs, without government funding, took on virtual
professional state run teams of other countries. I also think team
sports should be eliminated.

Amen!

It was tragic when the IOC stooped to the lowest common denominator on
the pro issue. Instead of fighting to keep the games truly amateur,
they caved and let everyone get paid for doing what they do. Now we
have millionaires playing basketball, hockey, skiing, skating, etc.
And NBC would have us believe that these poor, downtrodden athletes
have sacrificed everything to get to the Olympics. Hogwash. If the
governments of the world follow the lead of the IOC, it won't be long
when all drugs are legalized because it's easier to acquiesce to the
elements in the toilet than fight for what is right.

Max


Legalizing all drugs is self regulating. Remember the lab monkeys giving
themselves overdoses?


The ACLU would be screaming bloody murder at the US government for not
being the proper nanny to the idiots who, like the primates, overdosed.
The only upside I see in legalizing drugs is that the sale of them would
be taxed, along with the abandonment of the so-called "war on drugs." A
lot of money would be generated and saved w/r/t the federal coffers.

Of course then we'd have to institute several multi-billion dollar
federal giveaway programs to help those addicted to drugs wean themselves
off for a few months before becoming addicted again.

I say make drugs of the highest purity available. No weaning necessary.


Say, did you ever see "Pulp Fiction?" That stuff John Revolta had might do
the trick.

You better post your feeling to the New PM. He has already declared his
fondness for Geo II with his intention of kissing his ass to make up for
the damage done by the previous PM.


He killed the hand gun band...... he's got my vote.... fricken Liberal
assholes ain't worth ****! They'll regulate you into the looney bin!


Careful there, Mooron--the conservative PM might just take away that ripe
government tit you've been sucking upon.

Once again your lack of knowledge in anything remotely related to the
conservative ideals the USA was founded on is showing.

Perhaps he estimates his tax payments. According to law payments this year
are based on how you did last year. Perhaps he did not do as well this
year, and yet still had to pay taxes as if he did. Thus, he gets a refund.

It's nice that you're getting your money back, less interest of
course, but you probably shouldn't be bragging about it. Basically,
you didn't do the math right to begin with, thus giving your gov't a
