We're dumb because we give the European's respect and consideration of their needs. They don't deserve either one. They think we're lazy because we invented just about every labor saving device on the planet. They use their peasant/service people to do these tasks. They call themselves democrocies but they still observe the old class systems from the dark ages.

Angry There are some very good posts on this thread...

and there may be some pictures hidden on the rover,but in general I think God and the flag are sitting along side each other in a dumpster in D.C.

European, euroschmean - head up thier collective wazzoo's. Couldn't tell you the differance between day and night in 10 words or less, it would take them two days of meetings to deal with the question and two weeks to answer it wrongly.
