The same reason that Europeans colonised North America and the antipodes, the same reason that my grandparents came here. I fail to see how stating such facts can in any manner be seen as racist.

But the yahoos we have here who want to shoot them at the border are. Apples and oranges, my friend.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Ah....I see where you are missing the point.

They want someone else to shoot them. They don't want to get their hands dirty.

Yes... indeed I did.


BTW, the New Hampshire Gazette maintains what they call the "Chickenhawk Database." A chickenhawk is someone who loves war but, when they had the chance to actually serve, chose to be elsewhere.

Oddly, (or again, perhaps not-so-oddly) a lot of Chickenhawks are republicans.

Although it is many years ago Min our War Department, as it was then, issued a Service Medal during WW1 to all men who had served in any of the forces and had subsequently been invalided out.
The men wore the medal, unusually, in civilian dress, to stop, mainly young women, publicly presenting them with a white feather.

It's also a common slang term for a male homosexual who molests prepubescent boys.

Just thought you'd want to know :mrgreen:

I didn't know that. I thought "a male homosexual who molests prepubescent boys" was called "Father?"

I think, and our initial forays into the concept suggest, that the direction of that shift will ultimately be towards global unification.
And as we speak,
f current trends continue, it doesn't take much imagination to foresee a future where the entire U.S. banking industry has been consolidated down to between 5 and 10 "superbanks".
