Yes I pulled the second lazeyjack thread. If he wants to say something to me he has my email. I respected his work, but I don't respect his attempt to fearmonger other forum members in retaliation for being banned. I'm hoping he cools out in the future and we can all get along again as life is too short to be distracted with this useless flinging of insults and personal attacks.

I feel chastened, Thanks for the heads-up....

yup, we kind of like prosperity around these parts. we also like to see it spread around to those that create it. called capitalism.

and many, many apologies for upsetting all of your travel plans, we really should stop playing with the tough guys. come to think of it, we must of really pissed-off all those soujourners to the french shores back in '17...or '41. fear yea not my brothers and sisters, just as soon as afganistan bloodies our latest administrations noses we'll be leaving your playgrounds entirely. i suppose that means you'll start complaining about our absence. then you'll boycott our stuff...don't worry, we'll boycott yours too. and then we can all go back to where we were a couple of hundred years ago and you guys in the lovely world of ours can repeat your cycle all over again.

LOL... you guy's boycott (as good as) our stuff already... you can't compete on a level playing field.

All in the good name of Freedom, Liberty, Democracy, etc., not to mention massive profits for the military-industrial complex. OOPS, sorry, I wasn't supposed to mention that last. And I promise, I won't mention the body-bags either.

Yeah, our foreign policy here in the US has taken a wrong turn, since at least the Viet Nam era, probably before that. We basically forgot -- or willfully ignored -- history, and the lessons about what works.

After WW II, what did we do to our conquered enemies? We disarmed them, down to the level of cap-pistols, kept our forces in place as both military and police protection, rebuilt their economies and infrastructures, coached their new governments along, and waited until they had fully stabilized before allowing them to re-establish their own limited military defenses. Result? Everyone loved us, and btw, now had more advanced industry than we ourselves had, since they got all new state-of-the-art equipment while we kept on using the old stuff that we had in place.

Lately, we go into some country whose government doesn't suit our fancy -- whether it works for them or not. We blow up the place, piss off everyone, choose a group we deem favorable (from those we've pissed off), and arm and train them, steal their resources, and leave the rest of the place in ruins. Then we can't figure out what went wrong, when a few years later, the very ones we favored are shooting at us with the very weapons we gave them. Remember the Taliban? They were still using muskets until we decided to use them to poke a stick in the eyes of the Russians. Remember Saddam? We were still sending him money until the very day he rolled into Kuwait. The list is longer than I have the stomach for.

Now, just to keep this rant on topic, I really, really hope that Obama can bring some sense to our foreign policy. That's going to be a tall order, though, since about a sixth -- at minimum -- of our budget goes to military.

Wish us luck, everyone, we're going to need it.

that's funny meanz, who said anything about compete.

you'll buy even more of our crap as we now thoroughly close our doors, ignore the world, and cork-screw head-first into the status of a 3rd world nation. here, we'll be producing large volumes of complete junk for you to buy at half the price of china. exactly where we come from meanz, which is roughly where we started.

but not too many voters study history.

you should too. and where you're world is headed is an ugly one indeed but not our problem anymore, right clmanges? we'll be busy infighting and steeling from one another. i know, i know...change...lots of change.

about all we're going to have in our pockets when this administration is finished with this place.

enjoy your competition world. have a ball. oh yeah, that's right, we're probably closing our borders too so if the water gets a little hot out there, you might try australia or maybe one of the poles. maybe they still have a heart.

I think you will, as soon as an opportunity to make profit out of war shows up.

Hello...

Thanks for the photo edit bit MR JEFF - I do need same - my weekends are very short schedule - if you know what I mean...

I remain confused as to what is going on here - have no time to read back - can hardly read at all just now...

Why was LazeyJack bumped - all can call - cooking a turkey - again...

I do like Turkey - the bird - dead and roasting - got a London Pride beer up his ass too - sans an explosion this should be REALLY good stuff...

So really - WTF is going on...

I thought I was the *******...

Enclosed is a line of sight problem and a princess cook - enjoy...

Brooke Bradford and Denise Milani for those who like to cruise - that rhymes...

Cheers...

SH.

[daiquiri]

Thanks for these examples of nice hydrodynamic body shapes, Sean.

Well, I'll try to brief you shortly on the situation.
We have few guys here which are proud to be americans (and they have a right to be so) but with political views which, in my eyes, make them look like a right-wing version of Masrapido.

Then we have (or had?) Lazeyjack who didn't agree with their political views. And it seems that Lazeyjack doesn't like to choose words when expressing his disagreement.

And then we have the moderator who seem to be affraid of loosing some american members of the site so he banned Lazeyjack.

It's like watching a political tv soap opera. Everyone is against everyone else. And now we also have some nice chicks on tv, thanks to you. That should help rise the audience, and probably some other things.

yup, that's correct. we'll sell you stuff. hell, we'll sell all sides whatever the world needs to wipe itself out. we just won't be there, but we'll cheer you on in fine fashion, with our piss-poor excuse for beer, cheap bourbons and american style football…sure will miss the imported stuff.

oh yeah, by the way. we currently don’t make much of anything so my first guess is that in the not-so-distant future our junk will be complete junk. we're certainly not going to sell the world weapons we use for ourselves, that won't happen. but we'll give you whatever you want in the way of cheap stuff, by the gross.

so when that world war of your’s comes crashing on your shores once again, you'll have to do a break-even calculation on whether to pay for the good stuff, which you can get from germany if that’s not the problem again, or finland maybe. itally if you're looking for a fine shotgun that is in short supply and also doesn't work. england if you’re looking for things that leak oil. don't count on china, that will most certainly be your problem.

absolutely correct my friend, we'll sell you whatever you want. almost.
