Oh, I didn't take it personally! *hugs BlueMeanie wildly* You were the first person to welcome me to this forum; I will love Blue Meanies forever! *pets Glove*

It's just that there are many things about my country these days that I find depressing, and this conversation pushed that button. Sorry! I will try to keep my comments happy and light from now on. (Should I remove that last post? It wasn't meant to be so provocative.) Cheers.

If you remeber--John had so much passion for America--He moved here>

I ment no offence to any place--seems you always llok for the bad in everything.

I wonder how you would handle cold turkey?

That is good/bad at the same time.

I see no need to remove it. Let's express ourselves, but stay within the boundaries of reason. I'm just trying to harmonize. (Man!). Well, I think America is on the whole good, and has indeed contributed much to the world. Thanks for helping us destroy Nazism! I mean it seriously. If you want serious criticism of today's America, check out Neil Young's official website! (Though, I'd better not post the link again.

Probably not true Djinn. I think we're tying to accept you.

At Christmas, it's good. By New Year's Eve, it's bad.

I suppose you all know the joke about John's Cold Turkey by New Year? Good, knew you would.

Thats what I ment--
don't take all words to it terminal meaning.

Even the word   to   has many meanings.  Hard to know what way if just said  you wouldnt know

if it was to  too  or  tu.  Sometimes even the definition is taken wrong.

John Lennon stated   (ATHAT TIME OF THE BEATLES WE WERE MORE POPLUAR THEN RELIGON & GOD--I WASN'T KNOCKING IT DOWN---I JUST SAID & IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.)

aS FOR MY SPEILLING--I dont often state  it but I do have a disability do to the Army.
I got a little autisum so sometimes -when I type--I see the & but the 7 will get in. So it is for others letters.Not all the time--just sometimes.

Thanks, GA! Although I can't take much credit, as I wasn't born then. But I'll certainly check out Neil's site.

Raxo, ETA is an abbreviation for "Edited to add", because I saw Rev's reply after I posted-- was that the confusing part? Cheers!

Yep, because over here it means something slightly different ... and you mentioned Ireland and Spain later, so ... but it's clear now!

And in Japan, it means underclass. So, pity we don't have any 'underclass' to welcome too.

*waves hand* I'm an American! I am! I can also spell, but don't hold that against me.

*pats Europe on the back* It's painful, isn't it, BM? After all, we invented fast food! Disposable diapers! Cow horns attached to front grills of cars. All the trappings of a sophisticated society that I'm sure the Europeans will want to emulate! In general you have better cell-phone systems and broadband service than we do, better health-care and public education. But we produce most of the world's entertainment and I'm willing to wager we borrow the most money!

I suppose I'll have to concede that one. I do believe we still lead the world in number of lawyers and frivolous law suits. We also lead the world in the number of medical errors and a health-care system so flawed that it may be, in fact, the leading cause of death in this country. On the other hand, we are both the major importer and exporter of firearms, ammunition, musical instruments, pyrotechnics, explosives, and radioactive materials. But musical instruments are on the list!

To bring this post back on topic (checks to see what the topic was), I certainly hope numerous American lawyers were involved in the breakup of the Beatles. I like to think we were in there when it happened, contributing in one of the things we do best. Cheers, everyone!

ETA for Revolution: I've been to Ireland too and think it's great. Right now New Zealand has captured my heart. But there's a lot of countries I want to visit; I've only dipped my toe into Europe so far: England, Spain, France, Italy, Czech Republic. Holland is on the list!

I 'm American,too! My friend is moving from England to N.Z. in August.

Though bankrupting the British Empire and ensuring its demist to a second rate power was a bit of a p*sser. All those africans and indians enjoyed being enslaved. We gave them timetables and queues for chrissakes!

harihead · « **Reply #34 on:** March 12, 2007, 02:55:29 PM »

A proper queue is worth fighting for. At the least it's worth giving someone a dirty look for. Up with England! Queues for everyone!

:B Er, yes, didn't think about that. So odd that my note was addressed to "Revolution" as well, but I did not mean to talk about terrorists or underclass citizens, really! *swears off using future abbreviations*

Interesting discussion of the origin of the term "cold turkey"--dates at least back to the 1920s. Too bad John never did a follow-up "Hot Gravy" although he did do "Beef Jerky."

Though not as much a p*sser as it was to one third of the world. I know there's humour in your comments too, but the sun never set on the British Empire because it was daylight robbery! I'm not loyal to this class-divided country. Even hippy s*** is more appealing!
