Don't be so belligerent. I'm not proposing that they reveal names or anything. Just the actual evidence. The more that's hidden from the people, the less able they will be to make informed decisions.

LOL! I'm not being belligerent, lol...
And the people passing judgement will no doubt have more information revealed to them than the public. That's life.
And they don't have to reveal specific names. You don't think terrorists of this magnitude remember who was told what? I assure you, everything is very carefully, and elaborately, planned. Yes, there may be leaks, but nothing you would notice until after. 9/11/01, anyone?

Flawed response to intelligence by George Bush, anyone? Or how about the invasive, policing foreign policies that keep our men and women in other countries fighting other people's wars? What about our government's scorn towards our allies that is only now fading because poor Bush is realizing that we need them? Gee, I wonder why people don't like us.
...Now I'm being hostile. I apologize. The truth of the matter is that you have your opinion and I have mine, and neither one of us is going to turn the other. So, in the interest of preserving the integrity of this thread, I'll leave.

And that means what, exactly? That I agree with what it says or that I think it quite pertinent to our current situation?

Yes. If you posted THAT, sir, you AGREE with THAT.

Now WHAT is that supposed to mean? That I should have LAUGHED at a joke about killing my President? Sir, I wish that NO President of the US has EVER gotten assassinated and WILL ever get assassinated--or of ANY country, well, minus North Korea, MAYBE. You, apparently, sir, TRULY have a hatred of America--at least the government--and that joke shows it. You do NOT see me going around telling jokes of any nature about the French. I do not hate the French--I just dislike the government and some of the mentality of the people. I don't mean to be like you, but you call that a HARMLESS joke, or at least are implying that with "1 - 2 = negative fun?"

No I'm trying to prove a point. I don't really believe 1 - 2 = negative fun, because the actual answer is negative one. But someone else said that, you see, and now I'm posting it here...so I must truly believe in it.
And regarding the original comment. Perhaps you've never seen Unforgiven? It's not a comedy, it's a very serious piece about the effects of violence and redemption.

No, I haven't, but that is not relevent here.

It's relevant because I believed it brought an amusing angle to the discussion. If nothing else, it's at least as relevant as your continued, 'I agree' posts.

AMUSING angle? You did NOT bring up an amusing angle. I guess the political humor in Britian is like that of the FAR left, hmmm? There was NO humor in your comments.

God help us if Republican Man ever watched Have I Got News For You 
Anyway, I thought that joke was sorta funny, in a I hope it never happens sorta way. A lot of British humour is like that, we can make a joke out of anything. It doesn't mean we agree with it, or that we want it to happen, but we find it funny nonetheless. It's like the old jokes about the Irish, I don't agree with them, but some of them are quite funny. Anyway, I'll stop rambling on now, got to see some Dutch guy about my madness

You people need to catch some of the few good movies. That quote was from "Unforgiven", coming from a character who faked being English. It has nothing to do with British humor.

Actually, I'm pretty sure he was English. It seems that way anyway, if his exit speech had anything to do with it.

Doesn't matter. He posted such a thing on the net about an assassination of the President. In NO WAY is that funny.

RM, Chill out man. Just because you dont get that kind of humor doesn't mean you have to get up in arms about it.
So what? Humor like that happens all over the place. I'll bet you agree with humor about Saddam being assassinated. It's the same thing. Look at things from all perspectives, not just your own.

Would it be funny if you watched it at home? Or in the cinema?

Om, no. That is ridiculous. MAYBE I would find it somewhat humorous if it was about Saddam, but even if I did, there is a DIFFERENCE here. One man attempted genocide against a group. One man has not. Choose which is which. (Although I truly wouldn't want Saddam assassinated--just killed after a fair trial)

As much as I HATE BUSH WITH A PASSION I don't agree with assasinating him. If you want him out, do your best to impeach is ass, but don't kill him.

Watch "Pulp Fiction". Jules and Vincent are talking about Mr. Wolf, and Jules says, "Yeah, he's about as English as 'English Bob'."
