Peer Gynt Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've passed through Winslow many times on my way to and from Flagstaff. It's not much of a town. There's a statue of one of the Eagles on the corner of the main drag and a red flat bed Ford truck parked nearby. The town's sole tourist attraction I've heard Laurel Canyon where the documentary 'Hotel California' was made was made is a bit of a dump now.

Harleyman Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've heard Laurel Canyon where the documentary 'Hotel California' was made was made is a bit of a dump now. I've never seen Laurel Canyon. Los Angeles isn't exactly my favourite city and I seldom go anywhere near it except to pass through via the freeways on the way to the beaches. We'd like to move down near San Diego but property prices anywhere around there are astronomical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillpig Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I see that Harleyman's concept of history is the usual back of a Corn Flake package, with the usual racist overtones. Its the Muslims innit he spouts, regurgitating simplistic tabloid bile, in a rabble rousing populist way. Such displays of loutishness should be applauded, as we all need someone to laugh at. Its not blaming the USA Mr. Dolt, its about just stating facts, what people do, their behaviours, and the consequences, which stands there to be seen. But why should fact bother some people, when its just another laugh innit, where the poor unappreciated gets a moment of possible recognition, as a prize numptie of course. On the other hand it used to be the Irish, bombing all over place, shooting machine guns everywhere they could, shame them Muslims cannot get it together like them Irish innit, then another Mr. Alf Garnet of Sheffield forum what a pickle... innit! Ever thought of forming a lynch mob, stringing up a few of them you do not like the look of, you and your mates, wearing I'm not a racist T-shirts. What glory awaits such types! Anyway thanks for existing, don’t you just love stereotyping people, as this pot calls the kettle black, it’s a laugh innit! I have issues with the Yanks and have crossed swords with harleyman and others on this subject before. However, your insulting and derogatory tone towards a nation who, despite its faults is generous to a fault, magnanimous to its enemies and loyal to its friends is plain stupid. Had it nor been for the Yanks western Europe including this country would have been overrun by the Russians by 1950. We owe them a debt beyond money. True they are irritating in the naivety thinking that everyone wants to either be in the US or like the US, but all in all I wonder rather be living as a US state than being a member of the EEC. Your meanderings are meaningless and your spite and envy show through. God bless America, God Bless Democracy. ---------- Post added 24-10-2013 at 17:13 ---------- I've only been to Nashville a couple of times and once to Memphis although I've heard Austin Texas is also good for music. ---------- Post added 24-10-2013 at 17:04 ---------- ---------- Post added 24-10-2013 at 05:15 ---------- [/color] We almost have to apologise on a daily basis for being white and none Muslim. I don't apologize for being white and a non Muslim, I think I have won the best lottery there is, I am English, and born a Yorkshireman. ---------- Post added 24-10-2013 at 17:16 ---------- With the IRA in the 1970s and 80s being funded by NORAID, maybe we should have invaded the terrorist supporting USA? That is how it's done isn't it? Or maybe America could have invaded itself? LINK And of course I'm sure none of us have forgotten how in the 1980s America shipped weapons to Contra terrorists in Nicaragua, funded by arms sales to Iran (yes, that Iran). LINK The Iran-Contra affair (Col. Oliver North) must sure ring some bells with someone? Anyone? These acts were not only in violation of Congressional restrictions on funding the Contras but also an arms embargo on Iran. I guess a certain moral and legal flexibility is required when "saving the world from terrorism". Do you think you are spending too much time on Wikipedia?

mikeye Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Give me America as the worlds policeman any day. Reading the OP's irrational hatred of the good old US of A I've decided I don't have to read any more. I agree with your sentiment entirely.

Brits and Americans irritate the hell out of each some of the time. My father-in-law who was over in Europe during WW2 sometimes wondered if the Limeys even spoke English anymore especially when he spent a weeks leave in London. He was in a west end pub having a drink with a local girl when someone remarked that the Yanks were over here " stealing our girls". His reply was "I was sent here I had no choice. I would have preferred to have been sent to fight the Japs instead" Still, they managed to fight the war side by side. The prima donnas on both sides mainly Patton and Montgomery who irritated the hell out of each beat the crap out of the Germans on the battlefields of western Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
