Speaking of surveillance....

We have to give those NSA guys something to do by criticizing the government.

The world can't bring the warmongers to justice, and it won't bomb the US back to normal, but it can force the US to view into a mirror to see that ugly face.
Could say the same about the UK but we generally try to keep it in one thread (Heartless Tories strike again).

Bacon, not beacon. In the US everything is about bacon.

Yes, quite granted. I think the ideals that inspired these men, also inspired an army.

BACON! HE WANTS TO TAKE OUR BACON!

ATTACK THIS MAN WILL THE FULL FORCE OF OBESITY!

This man is also to be attacked...but we'll have to wait until tomorrow. My Army of Bacon-Eaters will be too exhausted from the physical exertion of attacking Schroeder.

On a serious note, I am very grateful for all involved in the birth of our country and those who have protected it through the years. You did good.

If I could've lived during any other time, it would be 1940's-50's America.

Ah...but then there's the time machine arguments...

I find that remark highly offensive.




Mainly because I'm out of bacon and don't feel like going to the store to get some more.

Happy Independence Day to all my American cousins. I actually have some.

Have a good day and be thankful for all the blessings you have.
