And yet we Americans are afraid of boobs
That would have been on January 8, 1815. I heard they shipped General Edward Pakenham's body back home pickled in a barrel of rum and there weren't enough troops left to complain about the wasted booze.I belive the right one came off in 1812.
Yeah Wally World scares the crap out of me too. They don't like me much in there. Especialy when I harrass the sales lady about not having Hereford Red nail polish. Actualy though wally world was the only store that asked me for my Id when buying ammo. That was the only time I was ever asked for ID. And I've been buying my own ammo since I was 17was in line at wallyworld and someone tapped me on the shoulder, turned around and there was a pair of 44's pointing right at me!
damn right i was scared!
And yet we Americans are afraid of boobs.
I think his point is that we make fun of them for this type of thing and then we regularly see people in this country trying to outlaw bad words, nudity, and other arbitrary things most people are not threatened by but a small minority find offensive to their puritan ideals. Look at the history of book burning in this country.Not sure where you got that idea
small minority find offensive to their puritan ideals
I've lived a lot of places and met a lot of people in the last 41 years and I have found that the vast majority of people , left or right, don't care what you do as long as you don't care what they do and no one is breaking the law or hurting anyone. A small percentage of the population likes to call themselves a moral majority and feels if they are loud enough they can sound like a majority. These same people seem very interested in how other people live their lives for some odd reason. That is what is happening in England and it happens here.Hoo hoo! Get to know a more diverse group of people. You may find you're in a minority with your own brand of Puritanism.
They are still there. They are just too busy living their lives and not bothering other people. The mistake they make, like here in America, is believing their elected officials have the brains to recognize a vocal minority fringe element and the courage to stand up to them.If this be true, whatever happened to the Brits who withstood The Blitz of WW2?

Miss...16yrs of committed bliss...but grew up in a military family, served 8yrs active duty myself, and had a bit of a wander lust when I was younger. Until we bought our last house before this one, I had never lived in the same home for more than 2 yrs since I was 3 yrs old. Even my undergraduate degree was a conglomerate of credits from 5 different universities.Wild guess. You're still single. Hit or miss?
October 1781 for the left one. I belive the right one came off in 1812.When was it that the English had their testes cut off?
They are still kept in a secret American vault. The conspiracy will be at the heart of National Treasure 3:Royal Family Jewels
This sort of thing has the sound and smell of the bo-ra-ha involving the FCC and those "morals monitors" who went wild over the fleeting display of Ms. Jackson's boob, I believe the lady had two, one of which was so fleetingly shown, during her infamous "wardrobe malfunction" as it was described. Oh my.
from the EnglishPeople Daily, June 24, 2002:
Families of the 67 British people killed in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11 last year are to be offered average compensation payments of about 1 million U.S. dollars.......
The UK Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority has already agreed relatives could be eligible for payouts of up to 27,000 pounds for the trauma associated with watching the events unfold on live television.
The board usually compensates families who are present when their loved ones are killed or injured. But it has now agreed to take into account advances in technology and decided to treat those who saw the atrocity on television as if they had been actual witnesses to the killings.
