Yeah you guys are always throwing punches or are they low blows....at America.
Beer.... Can't argue with
Language....Still think we made it better

to quote Alan's article we aligned it better with the base language Greek. Also thank God we got rid of the word spanner.
Politics...Well everyone argues about these everywhere. No one can take offense to that.
All in all I know America ROCKS, but enjoy other perspective and the humorous spin that comes about sometimes.
