Not Just Another Oil Question

Run the Brad Penn.
It's called Balkanization and it's effects upon a culture/Country are devastating....look at many Euro Countries with their respective 'ghetto's of non speakers/non participants and note all of the issues this brings with.
If you immigrate to a Country the immigrant should accept certain responsibilities....like being self sustaining and learning the language of that Country.

But, idealistic chauvinist sounds better.

That was a literal-LOL here.

Ha ha - thanks!

Eric, a friend of mine sent me this link to a funny little commentary on the "Coke contreversey" and I thought you and Bob might find it amusing (not entirely safe for work, I guess).

I just about peed myself just now, when I read this:

“They’re singing ‘America the Beautiful’ while drinking Coca-Cola,” Stewart responded. “How much more American assimilation can they have? Maybe if they were open-carrying a gun shaped like Jesus while using a bald eagle str*p-on to f*ck an apple pie.”

Oh, Ronnie - sorry for not linking you up to PushingMyLuck and his parade of foolishness. I know you would have had some fun stuff to say, LOL.

Ha ha - yep, Eric, I knew you would enjoy that bit. It is also funny how he points out the utter hypocrisy of those crying foul about that commercial. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but the"outrage" over the content really left me thinking that I must be a model of sanity because those folks, and there are many of them, who have a problem with that song being sung in non-English languages have definitely lost their effen minds!

Ya', I read quite a bit of PLM's thread, and wow, that might have been a first for me, as I would have assumed that anyone "interested" in a car like a 911 would look up basic performance statistics on their own, and would have never thought they would start an "Oh my God, is it true?" thread. Not to mention the nonsense of the "cross shopping" (I think that is what you called it) he was doing in that, and other, threads. Like that dude, kidrock, mentioned, the bizaro element of PML's posts makes one question whether or not he is one of the MM personas just out to stir some BS stew. Regardless, at least it was good for a couple of belly laughs (even if I was too slow on the draw to fully partake in the fun)!
