I used to sell business-to-business, computers, software, and peripherals.
I did the east coast, phone work.
Georgia was my favourite, the receptionists, Georgia peaches, melted from my chocolate coated, British, French Canadian accent. They passed me through to wherever I wanted to go, effortlessly. I had them on hello.

Humility is not my strong suit.

Thank you, have a nice day yourself.

(I will pass on your ass invitation, ty)

That debt will be cancelled when we save you from Sharia law. China doesn't pay cash, they just deduct it from Walmarts bill.

I'm no fan of Bush or anyone who likes him, but exactly what is wrong with making a missile defense system? I think we should have had one decades ago. I'd like to make a defense system that was fool proof, and then give the plans to every single nation on earth so all missiles would be useless.

Heck, missile defense plans and residential bomb shelter plans... spare bedroom, winecellar, sleepover accommodation and even a place to park your Spacebag(tm) storage!

It's all suitably Heinleinesque to me. Prepare, IOT Prevail.

Missile defence systems are useless against gorilla warfare, which I believe, such warfare in the States, will rival the suicide bombings of Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan, combined, which the American citizen are not close to being emotionally prepared for. Instant code red and your country shuts down, not like Israel, when a bomb goes off in the shop next door, Israelis finish their dessert. I do not wish that fate on anyone, but I think it is inevitable. There is no need for any terrorist attacks on the homeland of the States at this time. I do not mean to offend anybody but it would be redundant, Bush is doing a fine job on destroying the States single handily. They are patient, AQ, but I agree with your ideal, Radar, making missiles impotent. Wish you could find a way to make suitcases impotent. Dirty bombs.

My personal ideal is no child should starve to death, anywhere in the world, or die of a disease because she or he was born where the medication to save her is a political issue and unavailable. Clinton recently negotiated with several pharmaceuticals to supply medication, which may be affordable to the so-called third world. It is a beginning. Bono, from U2 is also on that mission. I cling to hope.

Time will tell.

(I like it here)



It wouldn’t hurt fixing my country if you paid your $8.1 billion imbalance with us.


On top of that, the $4 billion in illegal tariffs on our soft lumber you stole from us. $12.1 billion you owe us is not chicken feed and it would go far in remedying some of our meagre problems.

BTW, we have no problems. We make excellent igloos, and take care of our sled dogs.
ok. failure to answer the quiz is graded as a zero. the

oxymoron costs you 5 points,
coming off as if you were in charge of your far superior country, and we are in charge of our theiving, deadbeat future third world country (how much of the $12.1b do I personally owe you, again?) costs you another 17

being an arrogant french canadian dickhead costs you 30

you come out of this with negative 156 points (triple bonus because you like little boys)

and in closing let me say .......welcome aboard, dickhead!

I have to give you credit for your insight. You do the math.
Thank you for the welcome.

(Your personal debt of the eight trillion is around $27,000.)

The trade imbalance is how much more we buy from you than you buy from us, that's all. It's not unpaid, every tranaction (for practical purposes) is paid. It's just keeping track of wealth flow.
