couldnt have said it better

can you blame someone for wanting to kill an american?? look at our status as a country, we put our dicks where it doesnt belong, if we run out of dicks we draft a new dick!

Dick reminded me of Cheney, and Cheney reminded me of Bush. Speaking of Bush there was a very confusing subject on Fox News about who he'd pick in his cabinet if he were to run for a third term...

It's a nice story, but I'm afraid various freedoms have been being taken away quickly and no one is stopping it from happening.

Body: You probably missed it in the rush of news last week, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.

So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is . so they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)

" An American is English, or Fr! ench, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.

An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim.

In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan . The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.

An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.

The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.

When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!

As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan . Americans welcome the best of everything...the best p! roducts, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least.

The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America.

Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's ! been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including tho! se that aided and abetted the terrorists.

So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because Ame! ricans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.

Please keep this going!

Pass this around the World ?

then pass it around again.

It says it all, for all of us.

Nothing against the original poster, for I'm sure it was really just an innocent posting, but this diatribe has been spammed out by those working on behalf of the Republican party for some time now. It works on fear and assumption that there actually IS a report that says this. In all the emails I've seen this in, only once or twice is there an actual link and it is usually to a Fox news report.

I work in an office where the owners are Republican and we get emails like this regularly. AS for the part in bold, just another sign of this being from the god-fearing religious right. For those of us who don't hold the same beliefs, we seem to be lumped together with any of the other descriptive immigrants to America. Basically saying "Sure we'll put up with you, but yer day is comin' boy!" (My brain hurts just typing that incorrect grammar)

Yes, I added to the crap pile this post has become, but it should die out soon.
[edit] I guess it already had died. I just started typing a bit too high i guess.

Ok so tell me exactly what the Queen does except take expensive holidays and sit her ass talking to her corgi's.Maybe if I understood her whole purpose I could accept why the royals are so damn loaded.

I just believe we don't need a royal family.Buckingham palace could be turned into a half-way house then we could get all these homeless people off the streets :cool: :thumbsup: :D

lol

That kind of worked both ways. I was hoping not to offend c4, yet, I might have made c4 feel "dead", by c4 imagining who'd kill c4 (specifically).
