well, i would be very worried about my rights if i were in the states now. actually i'm pretty worried being here, dunno what the admin will do in the name of their (false trumped-up) security and now, nobody will stand in their way (they passed the Patriot Act w/o anyone really reading it...idiots).

what am i saying? duh...forgetting who i am so fuck it--Redneck :wub: as a Mod, i'm about to delete your ass (can't fight it...the power is intoxicating and just begging to be abused!) :lol:

>Letter To America

>

>In the light of your failure to elect a human as President of the USA and

>thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your

>independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

>will resume monarchial duties over all states, commonwealths and other

>territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime

>minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who

>have

>until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will

>appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections.

>Congress

>and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next

>year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a

>British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with

>immediate effect:

>

>1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.

>Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed

>at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be

>reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the

>letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will

>learn

>to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters. You will end your

>love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix

>"ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise". You will learn that the suffix

>'burgh is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell

>Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.

>Generally,

>you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up

>"vocabulary".

>Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such

>as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of

>communication. Look up "interspersed". There will be no more 'bleeps' in

>the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough to cope with bad language

>then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you learn to develop your

>vocabulary

>then you won't have to use bad language as often.

>

>2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on

>your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take

>account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize".

>

>3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents.

>It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to Cockney,

>upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also have to

>learn how to understand regional accents - Scottish dramas such as

>"Taggart" will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we're talking

>about

>regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in

>England. The name of the county is "Devon". If you persist in calling it

>Devonshire, all American States will become "shires" e.g. Texasshire,

>Floridashire, Louisianashire.

>

>4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the

>good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play

>English characters. British sit-coms such as "Men Behaving Badly" or "Red

>Dwarf"

>will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience

>who can't cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.

>

>5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The

>Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to

>get

>confused and give up half way through.

>

>6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind

>of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good

>game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your

>borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You

>will no

>longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.

>Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a

>difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play

>rugby

>(which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping

>for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like

>nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side

>by 2005. You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an

>event called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside

>of America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond

>your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will

>be

>allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders" which is baseball

>without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.

>

>7. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no

>longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a

>vegetable peeler. Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to

>handle

>potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to

>carry a vegetable peeler in public.

>

>8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2th will be a new

>national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive

>Day".

>

>9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your

>own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.

>All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start

>driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go

>metric

>with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables.

>Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of

>humour.

>

>10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French

>fries are not real chips. Fries aren't even French, they are Belgian though

>97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are

>not

>aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on calling

>potato chips are properly called "crisps". Real chips are thick cut and

>fried

>in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should

>be served warm and flat. Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive

>with customers.

>

>11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to

>all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be

>doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.

>

>12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually

>beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British Bitter will

>be referred to as "beer", and European brews of known and accepted

>provenance will be referred to as "Lager". The substances formerly known as

>"American Beer" will henceforth be referred to as "Near-Frozen Donkey

>Piss",

>with

>the exception of the product of the American Budweiser company whose

>product

>will be referred to as "Weak Near-Frozen Donkey Piss". This will allow

>true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech

>Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.

>

>13. From December 1st the UK will harmonise petrol (or "Gasoline" as you

>will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st 2005) prices with

>the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA

>and the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US

>gallon - get used to it).

>

>14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns or

>lawyers. The fact that you need so many lawyers shows that you're not adult

>enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're

>not

>adult enough to sort things out without suing someone then you're not grown

>up

>enough to handle a gun.

>

>15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.

>

>Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to

>ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776). Thank

>you for your co-operation.

7. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no

You listening, Redneck? :lol:

Typical liberal rhetoric. That's Kerry's position on guns and another reason he lost. :bigsmile:

Well, she's not perfect but she's close. Redneck sent me a pic of her out with the youngest 1/3 of the kids.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
