  1. Why didn't they stick it back together after the war?

    I go to Alibaba when I want legos

    Do they sell grammar books? Then you could learn about uncountable nouns.

  3. Only 50 years out of date. Nice one.

  4. You're right about the Greek letters but Arabic numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 & 0. Don't know about you but those are the same ones I use.

    This is critical because over 60 percent people in the United States consume their news on social media.

    There's something wrong with your display. Where I typed "joke" it's showing "serious actual proposal".

    What an Antonine comment!

    Tell you what, there'll be no way they'll pay for it. Like pretty much anything.

    The good thing is that if the porridge wogs decide to do a runner (and frankly, who would blame them now?) there's already a wall there. Needs a lick of paint, though.

    Are you claiming they aren't stupid? In both cases they bought a pig in a poke.

    I caught a bit of Trump's speech in Michigan just before the polls. It went: Platitude, platitude, thing that will cause worse problems than it'll solve, platitude, insult the Dems, platitude, thing that's actually impossible modulo magic, flatter audience.

    All the way through the Brexit campaign they were going on about how it won't affect business (bla bla French cheese, yada yada German cars) suggesting a soft exit. And now they want to totally leave the free trade area? They admitted the extra NHS money was bollocks before the polls had even closed.

    Yeah, independent enough to get an awesome trade deal with India where we get no access to their markets but they can send even more of their crappy doers-of-the-needfuls.

    Obamacare is only shit because it had to be watered down to get it through congress, because congress wanted it to be shit, because socialised healthcare = communism and communism = bad.
    Congress was Republican then and it is now. Why on earth would they pass something better?

    How does that follow? There have been plenty of times the popular vote & the EC have been in agreement and congress was still there.

    In the UK, Asian = South Asian; people from the Indian subcontinent. Brown people.

    Political correctness = anything to do with politics you doesn't understand.

    Sorry, but I don't talk like Popeye. Can't you even copy-paste your unfunny attempt at parody correctly?

    As for alt-right, by the standards round these parts I'm practically Karl Marx.

    That's why the electoral college *IS* and remains important, so that one populous area doesn't dictate the way the whole country is run.

    It does nothing of the sort. It just makes a vote vary in value based on where it's cast.

    Apart from floating voters in Ohio and Florida everyone else might as well stay home.

    Yes, I find it odd how people who know that you can't just roll up and start living in their country think they can do exactly that everywhere else.
