I'm not taking it personally and even if I thought you did mean to be offensive I wouldn't waste a lot of time worrying about it therec are enough people who actually know me that are oiffended by me as it is.
Donald Trump on brokered convention: 'I think you'd have riots' - CNNPolitics.com
you might think that is a not too subtle hint to riot if he doesn't get the nomination I beg to differ.
I've just linked you to some of them. I am not in the habit of making assertions i can't back up. I occasionally trawl american media following what I find interesting. I can point you to dozens of such items. It's not noinsense if it is actually factually correct hwever much you might want it to be.
The possibility of a fundamentalist takeover of the US features in some american scifi writing the likes of the handmaids tale, the postman I used to think it ridiculous but crikey when you look at what some of the christian right are trying to do you begin to wonder. the prospect of a burn again christian or donald trump as president is a terrifying propspect. Good grief you even have a religion started by a science fiction writer (I quite like battlefied earth)
You should have done you might have been surprised at the erudition and intellectual capacity of the average scot. As to reality this is a discussion forum discuss what I'm saying just because you have never heard of rick santorum or planned parenthood shouldn't stop you checking up on my facts if in error please feel free to show where they didn't say or do such things.
I'd quite like to visit america maybe I should try and do so before the lights go out.g, I appreciate that you took the time to reply item by item! I was not aware of the Rick Santorum quote.
Those who think that Planned Parenthood should not be government-subsidized are certainly entitled to that opinion.
Was The Handmaid's Tale set in the USA? I thought that it was in Canada, but I'm not sure.
I think that you might have misunderstood my comment on prohibition; I noted that it was the ONLY instance that I could recall in US history that a constitutional article was overturned or reversed.
To show you that there are no hard feelings on my part, I'd like to close with my favorite Scotsman joke, you've probably heard it before, and you are of course welcome to respond with your favorite American joke. Fair?
A young Scottish couple, from the highlands, were madly in love and planned to marry soon. One day, however, they had a terrible argument, so severe that their union seemed unrepairable.
The young lass went off to London to start anew. Not long thereafter, the young man realized what a mistake they had made and set off for London to find his true love and rekindle their union.
Having grown up in a rural area, he had no idea of what a huge metropolis London was, and was quite bufuddled regarding how he might find his lost love in such a huge city.
Arriving at Trafalger Square, he boarded a London double-decker, hoping against hope that from the upper level he might see his lost love somewhere along the route.
Before the bus had a chance to depart, however, an absolute miracle took place. He looked down at the Square and - amazing! - there she was!!
He banged on the window and yelled like a madman, she looked up, saw him, and her face became radiant as she motioned for him to come down and join her!
But he wouldn't leave the bus because he'd already paid his fare!
And alas, he never saw her again.
