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. :lol:
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.
