An apology

Oberon · 06-15-15, 08:21 AM

Eh, everyone has a bit of 'My country right or wrong' from time to time, and every major power gets their share of ripping when they're in the limelight. What America is going through is no more or less what we went through in the 1800s. If the internet had been around in Victorian times then there would be angry postings against British policy.
Just remember, if you get angry, just sit down and have a cup of tea...

I'm just the opposite. For every bad thing someone else can say about my country, I can think of five more. Everybody has problems, and nobody's perfect. It's fine if you want to blame somebody else; almost everybody does. The bigger you are, and the more influence you have, the more some people are going to hate you. There are countries that are doing better in some areas. Good. It's also true that we all have something to learn.

America's pride really comes from the fact that we started this whole "No kings or queens, we can govern ourselves" thing. That said, we got the idea from others (Ancient Greeks, Enlightenment English and French, and more). We did turn it around and put those ideas into action, but not always in the best way. Who does?

Part of the problem I see is worrying too much about what other people think. There are people who like you and people who don't. Somebody puts down me, or my friends, or my country, that's their problem, not mine. Another thing to consider is whether an angry reaction is really because we secretly think they might be right. Still not worth it. Unless they actually endanger any of the above it's not worth the time to even think about it, let alone get angry.

A top German scientist said the viewing boobs adds 5 years to a males life, I am sorry to say that viewing mine can only give you a year, maybe less.

Removal of the electrical tape might add a day or two.

If that scientist is correct in his theory, Dowly and I should live forever.

Only if you use it to attach yourself to the defibrillator

Don't need tape these days. That tech can be installed internally.
Wife 2.0 has one now.

Donna, I don't or didn't know your country. Just know your fellow bilge members don't care where you're from, only that u cook and clean in the bilge and other womanly things. You are our only woman rat, you need protection, we keep it in the head. Good luck, Wolferz is still in there..

My mother lived to be a bit over 98 years old...
