It's from a play called Hamletmachine by Heiner Muller.

Simply put, no.

Unlike some folks (not you) I don't tend to pay attention to such things much beyond the post of the moment.

And what the hell do you mean by goading? I was no more goading you than you were goading me. Like I didn't know that there are more countries in Europe besides the UK. :shifty:

What on earth does your country of origin have to do with this discussion, other than your point of view.

Nice job boys :doh:

Not ashamed so there it is, under the avatar then. Mind you I'm not overtly proud of it either, they didn't give me chance to choose my country of birth.

Well maybe not Herring, but you do choose to remain there.

Yes and you remain in the US.

Yep. I wouldn't live anywhere else.

The way you wrote it insinuated that "The Ruins of Europe" meant the UK.

Whatever, arguing with you isnt how I particularly want to spend my night anyway.

The Americans who have left the US sound very different when comparing to people who still call the US their home.

No I meant that "The Ruins of Europe" is not a very descriptive location therefore it forces folks to guess and that getting annoyed when someone gets it wrong isn't very fair.

Clear enough?

There are almost 300 million of us that call the US their home. How many ex-Americans have you talked to?

Several, all with advanced degrees in their respective fields. Edumacated idjeets. :)

Oh so power is in the numbers eh? That must mean that Chinese and Indians should have the say on this planet. No? Why not?

And just to be sure, with Indians I mean people from India, not your 'Indians' whom you probably exclude from that 300 mil.

Eggheads :rotfl:

yea we know how they roll.

Exactly how is the prison system financially profitable? Last I checked, my tax money was still being used for it...

We .. uh.. took care of that Indian Prob.. uh I mean the Indian issue.

Here is a bit of advice. If you ever find yourself between an expansionist country and a coast... move!:D
