Its this crowd of folks that jump on the bandwagon and never look for proof of truth before they get caught up in feelings of anger and disenfranchisement that the perpetrators of this video are trying to convince the weakminded to do.

Even posting it to make your point in the negative is propagating it.


I was curious as to the reaction it would get. Beginning to wish i hadn't now. I'm not american remember so I'm not sure what you think I was propagating. Just nudging the patriotic funny bone to see the reaction. American politics are a bit weird from my perspective, probably about as weird as you think ours. :D

Spitting image was fairly vicious satire that spared no one right or left of the political spectrum-or the middle come to that.

Mike Buddy 'oil flow' is a problem and at 8 euro's a litre... I think ya'll need to consider at least some kind of diplomatic pressure.


Diplomatic pressure yes, military no.

I can tell you for a fact that 'we' are always right, no matter who 'we' is.


Realistically nato is in no position to threaten the russians. no one really wants a war but if national pride gets to be at stake is at stake-who knows what can happen. They need to sell the oil as much as we need to buy it.

:yh_rotfl Even their fellow scots think they're funny up there. Don't drink the scottish beer-it really is crap, that's why scots are so good at projectile vomiting, and don't insult the women if you don't want to get thumped.
