Full Version: Happy Birthday, America!
For all your faults, on balance I think the world is better off for having you in it.
Thank you, Julian.
And I guess, all things considered, that Great Britain was not such a bad parent against whom we eventually rebelled.
But seriously, most of us here are very fond of the British, and I for one am glad that you got the nod from the Olympic Committee. Congratulations!

Thank you my friend. 
I would like to second PE's comments concerning the award of the 2012 Olympic Games to London. I know enough Brits to know y'all know how to host a celebration and the London games will be spectacular!

Wish all you Americans would stay home for the rest of the millenium. Stop seeing the rest of the world as a threat. Stop initiating wars. Get a universally accessible health care plan (health is not a commodity). Put down your guns, or if you can't, lobby to have bullets sold at $500 each. That should reduce the crime rate.

This is a casual conversation thread and not a debate thread. You may earn more credibility at America's Debate if you demonstrated you understand the difference. Spare us your lectures in our fun threads, please.
And a belated Happy Birthday America from me!
