No pun intended! Ahahaha!
Mine was a rhetorical question.
It wasn't needing an actual response.
It was a place-keeping crowd pleaser.
Good to see that your expensive leftie education has you at the top of your game.
Even in our worst recession we earn more than your little piece of paradise.
Oz iz a personal favorite of mine. Like us, y'all don't seem to appreciate your true place in the scheme of things as decided by others.
You just seem to have a problem with your actual betters.
We're the planet's current Alpha Male.
We roll our socks down for you so you can bite our ankles as if cotton socks were no obstacle.
No.
I only presume to speak for my fellow Americans who are so commited to the American concept that our cold, dead hands will be your best earned trophy -- if your ilk actually survives such an encounter.
Have you ever considered that I'd be appointed long before you?
You may own effete, but we aren't required to imitate you.
I don't see your limited powers of observation as mattering in the grand scheme of things.
You're Ozzie. You're family.
You're welcome at my table.
I have a big back yard with plenty of room, and a shovel, if you insist on disrespecting your betters.

I get it it.
You say contradictory things without substance to rile people up, right?
There's a special word for people like you on the internet. Troll.
No, you don't don't.
No. I say contradictory things of substance to rile people up.
No. The word is Professor.
I'm not the source of your issues.
You're smelling new.
Mr. G:
Is this a competition to see whose country is bigger?
The Oz dollar is set to overtake the US dollar in value any day now.
Are you supposed to be one of my betters? Better in what way?
You big Republican, you!
So, you speak primarily for gun-toting rednecks, I take it?

since when were raging paranoia, insecurity and inferiority complex the sign of an alpha male?
Sounds more like a geeky teenage girl to me.
The USA needs someone to braid her pigtails while she pigs out on a 3 gallon bucket of icecream, and bitches about how the rest of the world hates her and thinks she's fat.
Interesting news item on the Beeb last nite: the Bush Administration has decided to maintain a permanent military presence in, guess where? The Bill is about to be signed.
Some White House dude was on camera denying that the US wants any permanent large bases in the country (it has built a few big ones though??), and said nothing or wasn't asked about plans for a 0.7b US Embassy, which sounds like a codeword for "Administrative Complex with Multiple Intelligence Assets", or somesuch.

No. It's a foregone conclusion.
Ah. Any day now the Oz dollar will be worth more than it ever has. As much value as the US$ in a moment of temporary situational weakness.
Only one of our two dollars has a serious upward valuation in its future.
More lucky. Just like all us post-KT mammals.
More wealthy.
I'm a big, non-affiliated registered Independent.You big Republican, you!
And you're just a pedestrian bigot driven by intellectually lazy stereotype.
Progressive, is it?
I speak primarily for gun-toting Americans.
Americans who spell Testosterone with a capital T.
Thanks for the constructive criticism - I hadn't noticed the duplication of "'pig" -had I spotted it I would have phrased it slightly differently.
How about:
The USA needs someone to braid her pigtails while she shovels a 3 gallon bucket of icecream down her insatiable gaping maw, and bitches about how the rest of the world hates her and thinks she's fat.
Mr. G:
No. The Oz dollar was worth more than the US dollar until the Oz was floated in the 1980s. Originally, when Australia converted from Pounds to dollars, the Aus dollar was based on the UK pound sterling.
I assume you mean the Australian dollar.
You're not really independent when you vote Republican every time, you know.
But I'm sure it gives you comfort to think you are.
If it quacks like a duck, as they say...

Title: "Marines accused of proselytizing in Fallujah; gospel verse on coins", by James Naji and Leila Fadel
Date: May 29, 2008
This is just what we need:
The Iraqi people, already wary of their occupiers, are looking upon this latest matter as one of exploitation, a humiliating proselytization intended to take advantage of their weak position in their own country. In the battle for hearts and minds, such as it is called these days, a deviant appeal to the soul is a prescription for disaster. Indeed, as one man explained, the coins recalled for him tales of abuse and torture at Abu Ghraib, the rape adn murder of a fourteen year-old girl: "Now we have this missionary way by these coins .... We feel the Muslims are weak and we hope that we will reach a point when we are strong to let them know what is wrong and what is right."
While in truth this incident does not have the makings of the proverbial straw, we must be wary of the burdens we place upon the backs of the Iraqi people. Certainly there are some who would view this incident in puzzlement should retribution arise, but we must take care that when the Iraqis throw off their burdens, part of that task does not involve gunning down more Americans. Quite clearly, there are elements within the theater that need less provocation than this to kill.
