[OT] F1 Qualifying... run that past me again

Your sweeping generalizations (of me and <apparently> my fellow US
countrymen) are impressive...

1. (Just tranquillized/anaesthetised by your own media and
lifestyle.)...Have you ever met me? Don't judge me, you know nothing
about me.
2. Most of the population of the U.S. is beyond help in this
regard....
3. Your education system is so poor ....Admittedly the education is the
US isn't top shelf, yet I still see plenty of places far worse off.
I'll take my chances (and BA degree) here.
4. ...and your media companies have so much control over your thought
processes that you no longer have an objective point of view...Again,
don't pretend to know how/what influences me on a daily basis. There is
no "objective" point of view...a person POV is ALWAYS skewed in some
way, if only when compared to ANOTHER POV that differs.
5. As for the poor country of France and their "persecution" at the
hands of the US media...GOOD. Screw'em all I say! My personal hatred of
the frogs started with the "no fly" zone incident when Libya was a
world threat and the US (again) was the driving force behind stopping
(another) international nutjob. I'm <sure> France had THAT situation
covered as well. If so many ppl. from all over the world didn't want to
see that lovely lady holding the torch in NY, I'll vote to take the
Statue of LIberty, load it on a USAF cargo plane, and drop in in
downtown Paris!

Now, anyone see the practice times for STR in Malaysia?

Whether we like it or not, we are all victims of stereotyping via our
leadership & media and the public face it turns to the world. At the
moment George Bush, Pat Robertson, and Fox News is the public face of
the USA, which is a pretty difficult stereotype to live down, especially
after the second win.

No. Nice try though. :-)

Is anyone else bored to death with that new show Howie Mandell is hosting?

It would be fun. IF it moved along about 200% faster. Jeez....

For me, my favorites a

1. 24. C'mon, you KNOW you love it
2. Lost.
3. Sopranos.
4. Deadwood (Brilliant show).
5. CSI, when it's a good episode.
6. Crossing Jordan.
7. Tripping The Rift.

The 30 second commercials he does for a pizza chain are almost as much
of him as I can stand.

A 1 hour game show? I'd rather race in rascar.



>1. 24. C'mon, you KNOW you love it
Saw the first 30 minutes of season 1, I thought if any one of the 4
disasters were followed up it could be interesting but they went for
maximum overkill.
>2. Lost.
never seen it, it's on my list to pirate when it comes out on DVD
though
>3. Sopranos.
Got bord after season 2, still brillant though
>4. Deadwood (Brilliant show).
Never seen it
>5. CSI, when it's a good episode.
head guy too preachy, they used a cattle trough and desk fan to
simulate wind and currents to find a body WTF...!!?? Marg h, wow!
>6. Crossing Jordan.
like it, wrong time of day
>7. Tripping The Rift.

Ah... but before reality filtered back to the US, democracy was going to
restored by January last year and the barbarians were an oppressed people
who'd only be too happy to be liberated by the US army.

Certainly that was the impression I got from Mitch as he brushed aside my
misgivings with regard to the invasion and therefore I attempted to rub his
face in it a little.

So, apologies, I wasn't expecting anyone to attempt a reasonable response.
Seeing as this whole deal has gone far enough off topic already, I won't
enter into public exchange with you. Feel free to decipher my spamblock if
you're interested in an exchange of opinion.

Thriller for people who can't handle proper thrillers

Reality TV with a script and actors.

Quite good, indeed.

> 5. CSI, when it's a good episode.

Patronising and moralising.

Unfortunately, the BEST American show on Television is no longer on TV.
Firefly. A cute cuddlely Sci-Fi/Western/Chinese/Comedy/Action show. It's
not slapstick, but it's humour will sneak up on you in teeny tiny bits.

There was a movie released last year that tied up some of the storyline.
Serenity.

The ship's logo is on my TPTCC league car.

it's too late to save, but this page may make a quick summary.

In ohter words a troll, eh Jan...

To get a reasonable response perhaps you should include the truth, common
sense and occasionally a FACT or two that supports your argument. You have
none of the above so I ignored your rambings as I do any liberal moonbat
scratching for existence with propaganda and bull****.

Its kinda funny actually, I didnt start this thread yet I seem to be the
lighting rod. I guess the truth hurts too much for your liberal
hallucinations.....

Very, very true.
And, right now, because of this very fact, tens of thousands of Britons
think that every Australian walks around saying "bloody hell!" in every
sentence we utter to each other.
