Immigration and Racism in Britain and USA

I had not heard it before. It was quite good.

What are sayings 1 to 13.

It's coincidence that I went to the pub last night with a shirt on which had on the back DON'T FIGHT UGLIES THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE.

We had keelsons in our navy - but I really can imagine that the Naval Air Force is different.

Anyway-Shuttle Launch. Bon voyage.

Gee!!!

That was fantastic. It always is. I turned the volume up to Max. Cripes.

There are many more - some a bit profane.

I can take it George.

It won't currupt me.

Great list. Does goofing off constitute looking bad?

What was that movie with Cary Grant and that handsome chap who all the girls said I looked like. Petticoat something.

Was the Navy anything like that in the old days?

Good laugh, Bill!

Francis, What is wrong? This isn't like you, honey.

'E's got the 'ump. Don't you find it entertaining?

spendius, it never entertains me to see people beat up on each other, and it's so out of character for Francis.

You must be one of those people who don't like "scenes".

Some of us love them.

What have you got against a good set to?

I don't spendius. As skinny as I am, I stepped in between two kids who got into an out and out "go for the jugular" fight. I was injured, but I never filed any complaints. I will never change, I guess.

Sorry to get off topic, McTag. I still believe that the entire thing has to do with economics, and not racism.

i'm with you , letty !!!
why get into a spat or anything uglier ... one can always "agree to disagree" - no need to hold a grudge imo .
hbg

Exactly, hamburger.

Interesting thing. Last night, I watched briefly a naturalization ceremony in Florida. I have never seen so many different ethnic groups waving tiny little American flags. It surprised me to learn that Florida has one of the largest populations of naturalized citizens in the country. I'm not certain that is particularly relevant, but I found it a little different from what I had thought.

As I told one of my cyber friends, the world would be a false and boring place if everyone agreed on everything. It's how we choose to disagree that is the point.

Miss Letty, the wrongness is in the eye of the beholder.

Sorry guys, the story is over.

I retreated already to my usually "restrained" position.

Francis, I be worried about you.

That's nice of you, Deb, dear!

back already? Or is that you zooming overhead?

Did this zoom over your head Steve-

We like you for what you are, Francis.
