To: The UK; From: Your Former Colonies

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.

Oh how we wish we were still even more closely associated with you than we currently are :roll: Yes, the grief is palpable as dear old Blighty limps off, defeated, into the sunset.

I think you're about to find we British were far nicer masters than your current ones, the Chinese. Since they own you lock, stock, and barrel I'd lose the superiority complex..

Basic freedoms? Like...the right to a trial before a jury of your peers? To live free of internment without trial? To say what you like, wear what you like, live as you like without persecution?
I do hope you're not referring to the US, then - while it may have many things to recommend it, basic freedoms are alas few and far between these days.

Don't blame me - I'm disgusted by it, and would have been out of here years ago if it were feasible...

Even now, when it seems like there's a bit of a chance of some change, it won't significantly alter three centuries of rampant stupidity. It's bred in the bone at this point. :|

Fuck it. Think I'll go blow some shit up...legally, of course. ;D

Unfortunately, the people who typically celebrate the 'freedoms' of the US are talking about something vastly different than what most of the rest of us mean by that. They're really talking about Objectivism as if it were the basis of American beliefs and values...but have limited it to the ways in which it fosters laissez faire capitalism and thrown out the rest. (Not that I personally have any use for Ayn Rand, mind you, but some of her ideas do strike a chord - if only it weren't such bloody unenlightened self-interest...)

Some of you guys are so predictable. I swear, it's like poking a monkey with stick a sometimes. I'll be sure to do the petulant child act when Guy Fawkes day rolls around.

Now I'm going to celebrate Independence Day with good friends, good bourbon, good beer and the best goddam Cajun food a Bronx Irish New Yorker in Texas can cook up using wild fucking pigs. And I'm going to listen to Merle Haggard for the entire three hours I'm about to spend cooking.

And if you have to hang, draw, and quarter them into the bargain...well, no-one every made a decent omelet without breaking a few eggs. Far too many of that type of person around these days - it's no accident that they weren't allowed to run for public office or marry a member of the monarchy.

Ah Ha! July the fourth, brilliant. The day of many fine events;

Saladin takes Jerusalem 1187, and the frankly double-bubble in 1918 of Mehmet the IV ascending the throne and Nicholas II getting shot in a cellar.

Plus you now get the annual North Korean fireworks, not the subtlest of chaps, but they do put on a good show.
