"here's my proposal: Let's get tough. The time for talking is over. Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and hit it fast with a major -- and I mean _major_ -- leaflet campaign, and while it's reeling from that, we'd follow up with a {whist} drive, a car boot sale, some street theatre and possibly even some benefit concerts. OK?
Now, if that's not enough, I'm sorry, it's time for the T-shirts:
"Mutants Out" ... "Chameleonic Life Forms, No Thanks"
... and if that's not enough, well, I don't know what will be."

Indeed, I think people regret they never had the chance to be in the sixties.

I'm watching this thread of screams of, "leave the Americans alone, you hateful bastard!" And also, "I am sick and tired of the hatred for America in political cartoons; I want this thread moved!"

Waitaminute....I don't think I'm going to see either of those arguments, or any others that are similar. Weird.

PS; that's funny:)

Umm, I think we're all beginning to loose sight of the real issuse here which is what are we going to call ourselves. Umm, and I think it comes down to a choice; between the League Against Salivating Monsters, or, my own personal prefrence, which is the Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society. Um, one drawback with that, the abbreviation is clitoris.

Hey - that was implied ;)

And we'll call our group the Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms, and their Reintegration Into Society.

Edited to add: Oops, never mind, someone beat me to it.

Let me change my statement.

The screams about people hating American war protestors.

That better?

By the way, here's an ad hominem for ya....It is spelled non sequitur, ya fool!

Sorry...but I felt stupid about it and felt I had to bring down somebody with me. I know that a spelling mistake is a far cry from a non sequitur argument, but it still made me feel a bit better.:)

I was merely trying to make a point. Perhaps the point would be better made if I attached my own image....

NOW the points made are valid. This Gulf Wars one is funny, too, though. I'd say a lot funnier, actually.

The funniest part is "how to shout down your opponents when they start making sense".

If you want to know why this is funny, watch the "protesting the protestors" video at brain-terminal.com.

Oops! I shoulda listened to that nagging little voice in my head... :D

[Doctor X]

It is hard not to listen to the voices in your head . . . when they will NOT STOP SCREAMING!!!!!

[Aoidoi]

Ed rarely screams, Doc. :D

To site an utterly irrelevant anecdote there's an episode of Batman Beyond in which some Evil Villain (tm) is trying to drive Bruce Wayne mad through a small transmitter. When asked how he didn't know he was mad he said "The voice kept calling me Bruce. That's not what I call myself."

:D

Danish pizzeria bans French and Germans

A Danish pizzeria has banned French and Germans from dining there because of their country's stance on a war with Iraq.

Aage Bjerre, who owns Aage's Pizza on the island of Fanoe, said he's tired of French and German attitudes toward the United States.

He's put two homemade drawings on the shop door, one a silhouette of a man coloured red, yellow and black for Germany and another in the red, white and blue for France.

Both silhouettes have a bar across them.

He says Germans will be allowed in if their country joins a war on Iraq, but the French will have to endure a lifetime ban.

Aage said: "Hadn't the United States helped Europe in defeating Germany, there would have been photos of Adolf Hitler hanging on the walls around here."

The ban has yet to effect his business because the tourist season only starts after Easter and peaks during the summer. "I do what my conscience tells me to do," he said.

He added: "Frenchmen have a lifetime ban here. Their attitude toward the United States will never change."

Aoidoi:

Perhaps best not to explore what he actually calls himself. . . .

"Holy unhealthy need for adult male companionship, Batman!"

Supercharts:

Bad!

Evil!

Insensitive!

I like it!

I thought it didn't matter who was behind the scenes of a political statement for you, dog.

By the way, did you ever figure out who the hell you were marching for the other day? I hope you at least got some exercise.

Heh, tis worse than that. In Batman Beyond he is somewhere around 80 and his protege is in high school... that's even sketchier than the original! :D

To pretend to be on topic: I happen to find the rhetoric on both sides rather amusing. Nothing like looking at the wackos on either side to find some good fodder for jokes.

[Skeptic]

I've heard that they now make signs saying "DOWN WITH" at the top already, and you just add whatever it is you're protesting against on the bottom.

Once all the Germans/
were warlike and mean/
but that couldn't happen again.

We taught them a lesson/
in nineteen eighteen/
and they hardly ever bothered us since then!

(Tom Lehrer, of course).

Then again, there is what Flanders and Swann sing about DeGaulle's view of himself:

This old man, World War II/
he told Churchill what to do...
