Get your tanks off MY lawn...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

This is NOT an anti-american rant...just an anti-american government AND anti-British government rant...

It appears that the Menwith Hill/Fylingdales 'spy station' just up the road from Leeds (which is laughingly signposted as 'RAF' Fylingdales, despite being US territory can you believe?), could play host to American missiles as part of Son Of Star Wars...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3750294.stm

If this goes ahead, which it almost undoubtedly will, it proves that once again GB - or its government - is proving it's a mere lapdog to the US government and sickens and angers me.

Who are these bloody missiles likely to protect the US from? This is a serious question - I honestly don't know? The Russians??? The Iraqis????

All it means is that WE in the UK end up as targets for even more nutters/terrorists/fundamentalists/idiots...and what do we get in return? Bugger all...

And, no, this isn't a case of Not In My Back Yard...I'd be as bloody annoyed if it was anywhere else in the UK.

Interesting experiment:

Take an ordinance survey map of the York Moors, the area including Fylingdales. Look on the map for RAF Fylingdales. What do you find?

This is the streetmap.co.uk map of the relevant area.

Terrorists and unfriendly governments are hardly going to need a map to find the fucking place are they? :roll:

Not to split hairs, but the tag of 51st state is technically already taken by Peurto Rico.

Good point. So that would put GB at 53rd.

We're racking up the acquisitions left and right. Pretty soon this will be planet USA.

Sad, sad thought.

Too bad 53's a prime number...it could never work on the flag.

But when we're Planet USA we can just have one big star i suppose, like Texas. Now Bush's plan is becoming clear to me!

The McDonalds sign would also look spiffy on the flag. More appropriately, the flag could change every week to advertise the highest-bidding sponsers logo.

And I think it goes without saying that junior and daddy Bush will run planet USA.

*sigh* Of course they would.

I think the ever-changing logo flag could work well. Good idea!

Thank you. It won't be long before the Capitalist Corp. of America enlists me to run their Propoganda Machine. I guess my idea to outfit ambulances with "A vote for Bush is a vote for freedom" sirens was a hit.




If my posts are making any kind of sense anymore I'm not seeing it.

You should be careful with those eyerolls. If the wind changes direction your face will stick like that.

You could fit 53 stars on like this:

:lol: OK so it looks a bit wonky.

Or we could just eliminate 8 utterly useless states. Let's see...

North or South Dakota. Either way.
Wyoming (does anyone even live there?)
Oklahoma (I can personally vouch for its utter uselessness)
Rhode Island (too small to even be considered a proper state)
Maine (utterly. utterly useless)
Massachusetts (too many cliches)
Arkansas (too many cliches)

We'll call #8 Washington DC. :wink:

Of course, this is open to discussion.

I dunno, Iraq maybe? :innocent:

We could do that, but by that logic Iran, North Korea, and Sudan will soon make 55, 56, and 57, respectively. And then we're back in the same boat.
