If I were Dutch, and in 1930s England, I would certainly consider
wearing a T-shirt that said "I am not a German." The Islamic fascists (helped by their EU apologists) are raving anti-Semites, misogynists and all-around haters -- closer to Hitler's Germany than anyone else on earth. The U.S. is somewhere on the opposite side of the spectrum. |

"Ismalic fascists", eh? What an imagination you have. I wonder if they'll make the trains run on time. |

I dunno, maybe you got no problem with that. In any case, I said Islamic and not "Ismalic," which I presume would mean followers of the prophet Ishmael. And I have no problems with Ismailis, Ishmaelites and the like. |

Not that much - somewhere around half of Americans don't support the war. But trouble is, they are on the whole not terribly vocal about it. The bullies seem to be winning the day. The advantage of playing the nationalistic card, I suppose, "our boys, etc." |

I have an equal opportunity problem with fanaticism. Which has nothing to do with "I Am Not An American" T-shirts. \\P. Schultz |

We simply have no practical need to do so. This is because of the sheer size of our country and the cor- responding lack of proximity to peoples nattering in other tongues. Hell, we have mere *counties* that are bigger than a lot of those cute little European nations. ObTopical: English is the international language of aviation. I bet that ****es off the fashionable America-haters something fierce, and particularly galls (heh) the French. "Frere ZHOCK-uh, frere ZHOCK-uh Dormay voo? Dormay voo? Sonny LeMattina, Sonny LeMattina He's nice, too. He's nice, too." See? I speak that ****. Haw! Geoff -- If God were a liberal, we'd have the Ten Suggestions. |

Your definition of "a lot" differs from mine. |

mrtrav writes: Which counties are bigger than "a lot" of European Nations? You're trying to get me to jump through hoops, and I don't do hoops. But being in a magnanimous mood, I'll get you pointed in the right direction. Hint: break out a map of the United States, one that shows counties, and look out West. (If the map is right-side up, that will be to your left...which is probably intuitive, in your case.) Your definition of "a lot" differs from mine. Well now, that strikes me as a bit odd, seeing as how you hadn't even given me a chance to respond to your question yet. Geoff -- If God were a liberal, we'd have the Ten Suggestions. |

Your definition of "a lot" differs from mine. The geographical pedant in me demanded an answer, so... San Bernardino County in California (AFAIK, America's largest,) is 20,106 sq miles (52,072 sq kilometers,) which makes it bigger than: Albania Andorra Belgium Bosnia & Herzegovina Denmark Estonia Liechtenstein Luxembourg Macedonia Malta Moldova Monaco Netherlands San Marino Slovenia Switzerland and the Vatican That's 17 nations. There are only 25 European nations that are larger, and some not by much. So, what would you consider "a lot?" Turby the Turbosurfer |
