something for the weekend sir?

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 the "joke":

Design Iraq's New Flag And Win $100!
Monday March 10, 2003



By MICHAEL FORSYTH

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- When the people of Iraq are liberated from the crushing tyranny of brutal madman Saddam Hussein by the U.S. military, they'll need a proud new symbol of democracy and freedom.

That's why Weekly World News is sponsoring a nationwide Design Iraq's New Flag Contest!

Just like the US flag is a knock-off of France's flag?

Why wouldn't our flag be red, white and blue?
It is the same colors as our mother's country, the Union Jack.

Since you got your independence in 1776 and your flag was introduced in 1777 i would say by that time the US and it's mother country weren't having the best of relationships. Since France helped out against the brits, it's more logic for your flag to be a knock off of France's flag than Union Jack's. But anyway, even if it's a knock off of Union Jack that proves my point still, that the writer was complaining about something the US is the first to be guilty of.

The reason we left in the first place was to be able to worship the way we wanted to.

Honor thy mother and thy father as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord you God is giving you.

There is a family crest in Bristol cathedral similar to the stars and stripes which predates it.

Of a family called 'Amorike' (spelt wrong I think)


Didn't he also give that land to the indians then Cyn?
