yes tavener, please leave. I hear north korea is very nice this time if year. Or if you want a more arid climate, I'd suggest a PCS to iran, iraq, Syria, or basically any country that ends with "stan".

Until I opened the thread, I thought for a split-second the Taverner primitive was beginning to see the light; the primitives are the bad guys, nothing good about them at all.

We, meaning the United States, tolerate ungrateful, seditious, mentally deficient DUmp monkeys.

If they lived in one of their idol's countries, they'd be lucky to get a bullet to the head. More than likely, it would be the chopping block.

Think of how horrible Europe would still be were it not for America's influence.

He should head for North Korea.  There is no evidence that the US has had any cultural influence there in nearly sixty years.  It would be nirvana for him.

34. Generally we are

We have have meddled with other countries, but they could complain to the UN or in international tribunals - or they don't have a free government that would do that for them.

It would be nice if other countries stopped asking us for help.

As for the OP, yes I'd love him to leave USA. He'd be changing his tune!

Apparently Tav's 'other' is from Laos. He mentioned something about being happy that they were not killed by the khmer rouge. You'd think he'd understand about Totalitarian Dictatorships...

I had a neighbor once who couldn't find a wife.  He ordered one from there too.

He claims to have gone over there to pick her up.

I guess he saved on the shipping charges that way, and scored some killer heroin at half-price.

5. The United States of America

The USA has always been the good guys. After WW2, we could have taken over the world very easily... the only country that possibly could have stood against us was Russia and we would have beat them eventually.  We didn't even try. That dummies, means we the good guys. If Russia was in the same position, we'd all be flying the Russian flag.
