TBH, I tend to talk at people, rather than to them.....

(sighs, and gives up...)

I don't dislike American people, and wherever possible I try to remind them that patriotism is not exclusively an American thing.....

Aliantha · 12-12-2006, 07:47 PM

Oh well, you're right there. Maybe it's just the way you go about saying such things that irks people?

JayMcGee · 12-12-2006, 07:53 PM

I'm a computer programmer, and as such have no social skills....

Aliantha · 12-12-2006, 07:55 PM

I have noticed your limitations.

JayMcGee · 12-12-2006, 08:01 PM

mmm....... so why are you riding my case? some kind of 'help the afflicted' progrom...sorry... program..

Aliantha · 12-12-2006, 08:02 PM

Just trying to keep you out of trouble Jay.

Shawnee123 · 12-12-2006, 08:02 PM

As a yank myself, I see the tongue-in-cheek, and know even we have our shortcomings.

Carry on

Aliantha · 12-12-2006, 08:04 PM

How gracious of you Shawnee. lol

JayMcGee · 12-12-2006, 08:07 PM

If I had a middle name, it would be 'trouble'......

Nevertheless, thank you for the thought and the effort.

Now, what do you think we should do about these dammned Yankees?

Aliantha · 12-12-2006, 08:08 PM

Leave them in peace?

I think there should be a salary cap. They buy their way to the best team. They...

Oh. Different Yankees. Never mind.

JayMcGee · 12-12-2006, 08:10 PM

Indeed.

To all those yankees out there, may you Rest in Peace.

I reckon that should have fixed it, Ali

Aliantha · 12-12-2006, 08:10 PM

We have salary caps on all codes here in Oz. I think it's a great idea. The only consolation is for the 'wooden spooners' in the afl. They get first choice of the draft.

Aliantha · 12-12-2006, 08:11 PM

No, I said leave them in peace Jay!
