Provided there is any connection at all, which is speculation at this stage. Slow news day I guess.

Those Hitler exoskeletons and zombies were pretty damn well down to earth.

Ignore him and use the original Australian term "Suffragist", both of you.

yeah, but Gilbert is more attractive

Or better examples, how "Germany" once refered to all of German speaking Europe, "India" to all of Britain's Indian possessions and "Australia" to what is now called Australasia. The terms became attatched to the first or largest federations in the region, so the likes of Austria, Bangladesh and New Zealand no longer fall under the term.

[ps, I believe that in Spanish "Americano" refers to all the Americas, and an American in the English sense is a United Statesean or such.

Since the centre of gravity of the Pluto-Charon system isn't within either body, it's actually a binary dwarf planet, both are going around the sun together, as opposed to one doing so and the other around it.

At least, as far as following the straightforward definitions we have now, which are far far better than the old definition which....didn't exist and therefore had little practical value in such a state of being.

Textbooks are generally a mangled version of what was cutting edge 3 decades ago anyway.

To Syberia, and break the will of the counter revolutionaries with effeminate robots that ask for your ticket.

hehe, I thought he meant that initially as well, but I really think he means that all Americans are migrants drawn by dreams of becoming wealthy, and litigation has become such a means.

Average non-Americans seem to be ready to believe that Americans are capable of any stupidity. What does this say about the average non-American?

The sanctimonious and the racist have alot in common, it takes a pathetic person to look for the arbitrary to place themselves over others.

R&B is a messy term, mainly due to the fact it's a quick paste over the older, and unacceptable term "race music". So I just don't use the term.

One of the reasons many countries have a shortage of medical workers is that the shortage is contributed to by traditional medical bodies and doctor's associations artifically creating the shortage not so much to ensure higher wages, but to ensure a priviliged public position. This means there's resistance to allowing a great deal of routine tasks that require skill, but not Doctor level skill, to be conducted by paramedics and to a lesser extent nurses.

Nonetheless, I have to say that if you think about emigration [which is a massie step after all], your chances are alright to get a visa at least. But you may end up driving a taxi with all the other skilled medical worker's whose qualifications don't get recognised by the authorities.

Oh don't worry, there was no insult directed at any Canadians.

Fortunately I think juleustig knows all this, and is here on the forum to learn about online identities and social behaviour, which we exhibit, rather than law, which we only presume to know about.

The entire existence of the term (in its correct usage) is to emphasize a lack of hyperbole and metaphor.
