		<description>&lt;em&gt;Because he said so in one of his post-ban posts.
Itâ€™s pretty entertaining too as heâ€™s mad enough about it to eat nails or snails.

Sounds indignant rather than angry to me, and well, I can understand how he&#039;d feel that way in a country that is supposed to welcome freedom of speech...  Even you, aside from the male &#039;king of the hill&#039; verbal sparring you guys do, would not want to see our ability to speak freely taken away from us really. This is just about Ryan with you.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Funny you should mention Orwell. He was writing about your people, not mine. But hey, if you want to leave take a few with you and donâ€™t let that door hit you, you know where.

You can&#039;t seriously believe that...  Big Brother with his newspeak are all about dictatorial control and censorship...  something you neocons are freely willing to relinquish in order to save yourselves from something far less likely to kill you than second hand cigarette smoke or the crap they inject into your hamburger...

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Donâ€™t forget Iâ€™ve been there many times. What youâ€™re trying to say is that you fit in and I donâ€™t. Fine. I would expect a left wing anti-american feminazi on a teachers salary to be rather ragged, unkempt and unwashed. I bet you saved on razors when you were visiting too didnâ€™t you? HA! &lt;/em&gt;

Shows how very little you know.  Europeans are into fashion and design.  As an Architect, I was a designer for a reason.  But my fashion sense isn&#039;t the reason I was accepted there (and pretty much everywhere I travel).  It&#039;s because I was respectful.  You should try it.  You might get a date that doesn&#039;t rattle upstairs when you shake her...</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Funny you should mention Orwell. He was writing about your people, not mine. But hey, if you want to leave take a few with you and donâ€™t let that door hit you, you know where.

		<description>Wanna bet? Last time I was there many people in most of the countries I visited thought I was a native and routinely addressed me in their language if I didnâ€™t speak to them first. Itâ€™s what happens when you arenâ€™t obnoxious, and donâ€™t dress like a hillbilly waving your ignorance and patriotism like it actually matters.

Don&#039;t forget I&#039;ve been there many times. What you&#039;re trying to say is that you fit in and I don&#039;t. Fine. I would expect a left wing anti-american feminazi on a teachers salary to be rather ragged, unkempt and unwashed. I bet you saved on razors when you were visiting too didn&#039;t you? HA!  

And I donâ€™t do bumperstickers or sew on flagsâ€¦ makes the redecorating tough when you change your mind (or your nationality, as so many of us liberals regularly consider these Orwellian days - especially those of us who know you).

		<description>&lt;em&gt;What does El Paso have to do with Europe? I like El Paso in small doses and have been there dozens of times working with the military. But just a couple of hours southeast is Alpine and Big Bend where youâ€™ll find the most beautiful country in the state. &lt;/em&gt;

You said you lived in West Texas...  I figured either El Paso or somewhere really off the wall like Marfa...  

I&#039;ve been to Big Bend, and Guadalupe.  Nice.  But the rest of Texas, compared to the other 49 states is quite bland.  It&#039;s probably why you desert dwellers don&#039;t mind drilling in ANWAR, you don&#039;t understand the value of majestic unspoiled beauty...

&lt;em&gt;I always drive in Europe and in fact have never been in a taxi. In addition Iâ€™m fluent in English so I never have any trouble communicating except in France. When Iâ€™m there I torture them with my handy English to French phrase book and Southern drawl. Mercy Boocoo.&lt;/em&gt;

See, this still is not &#039;traveling&#039;...  Get a Eurail pass, a backpack and hang out with the locals.  Would be good for you to see that diversity is not only not bad, but quite preferable.  And as you pals the French say &quot;Vive la difference&quot; (of course they mean the difference between men and women, but considering your views on women, I figure it&#039;s the same difference).

&lt;em&gt;I know I scare the hell out of some of them but Iâ€™m never rude and youâ€™d be surprised how many flag waving nationalistic bigots like me there are in Germany. We get along just fine. I always tell the Germans that itâ€™s too bad Hitler had to over-reach and that the world would be a better place had he just swallowed up France and sued for peace. They all agree.&lt;/em&gt;

I spent about a month in Germany.  (Have been to every country in Europe except the 3 or 4 little ones like San Marino).  Yes, there are bigots in Germany just like there are in America, and every other industrialized nation out there, but not nearly as many.  I&#039;m telling you, go hang with some real people and not just the suits you work with.  You might loosen up a bit and not be such an ass sometimes.

&lt;em&gt;No need, I have the Stars and Stripes on my carry-on and itâ€™s pretty hard to miss an American in Europe anyway.

&quot;What war? You mean the one where the opposing â€œarmyâ€ has NO armored vehicles, heavy artillery, air force, or navy?&quot;

You just proved my point.  Thanks! 

&quot;Get real beeotch, this is an occupation of a land that were it not for the oil we wouldnâ€™t even be there.&quot;

And Sadamm would still be there slaughtering his own people...but you are OK with that.  Oil was part of it (so what?), but if you think that was the only reason then you need to step back and see the entire big picture...which liberals have never seen.  Considering you have a Nazi/Hilter clone in charge of Iran I would say political reform in Iraq is a good starting place. 

&quot;But even Bushiva and Lâ€™il Dick know that f**king with any of these countries militarily would be disastrousâ€¦&quot;

ONLY because they have nukes.  LOL!  The only other country that was comparable to the U.S. militarily, in a conventional sense was the Soviet Union, and even then is was their sheer numbers that made it so.  Nuke wise is was pretty much even.

&quot;Take your â€œwarâ€ and shove it up your inbred netherhole Tâ€™crazyâ€™ inbred mindless mushroom bushitebuttlickinsnat*h!!!&quot;

You are worse that IRI!...but more amusing.</description>

		<description>#124 &amp; 131 We laugh at people like you. But you can&#039;t even notice, because you&#039;re so self confident... And btw, every bartender and hotel waitress in the world (including Germany) would say you&#039;re right, even while walkin without pants in the street at noon... later, they will spit in your Mai Tai... Tastes good?

Btw, many french know english, but they like to see a redneck likie youo strugling with a book... even a phrase book.

On the other hand, you can laugh at frenchs and germans, but the later you can&#039;t have their help in an illegal choice war. Funny, eh?</description>
