I don't think you'll get many defending every aspect of Britains colonial past these days, but that's my point. As President of the USA, he has to deal with the Germans, with their recent national socialist past, the Italians who stood with them as fascists, the French with their colonial past, the Japanese who were at war with the USA not long ago, the Chinese, with their long history of oppression and the Middle East, no explanations necessary. He also has to deal with Cambodia and Vietnam, two cultures who may distrust the USA for much the same reasons that he might distrust us. You have to put that aside and live in the now. You can't pick and choose which elements of history you're going to hold against people in his position.
Anyway, we're way off topic! |

Too much blame shift.
Can we divert any and all criticism by pointing the finger and skirting well round the facts...
YES WE CAN!!!
Anyroad. Back on topic.. couldn't make the game yesterday was it was my little lad's christening. Sounded like a good match though and I've watched the tries on the video. Some quality dummies from Thacks.
Who was partnering him in the halves? Smith again?
Gutted to hear about Toa. I was chatting to his next door neighbour who drives a taxi round Warrington. He indicated that this season might be his last but I'd be gutted if that was his last game in a Widnes shirt. He's been quality for us and the way he has royally vexed off the Leigh fans only adds to the affection he can count on from Widnes fans.
So anyway... I'm the absolute scum of the earth according to some on the TIW board.. didn't go the Semi but will be in the queue for the final....
proudly waving my season ticket around for all to see.
Bloody bandwagon jumping glory supporters... ![]()
I'm the absolute scum of the earth too. Turns out, not going to a semi final because of the effort it would have taken on a work day where I go to pay my taxes and support my family makes me a scumbag.
I thought going to watch them for around 25 years and having a season ticket for a number of years now would have been enough, but obviously not.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

I agree, Chris.
He does need to move on. As leader of the “free world” it is incredibly childish to carry on a vendetta against a whole nation for something which happened 60 years ago to his grandfather. Clearly, as this was an incident which has directly affected a member of his own family, he simply can’t stop grinding his axe. If he wasn’t the president of the United States of America, I’d understand.
It’s a shame really because, other than that, I quite like him. I’ve not felt that way about a US presedent… well… ever. |

Don’t forget your blow up doll!
I’m going to empty mine and give her a good scrubbing, so that she looks her best on the big day.

I don't think blame for the spill has been shifted onto Britain, just the media trying to make something out of nothing. Obama assumed BP still stood for British Petroleum and has since been corrected, I don't think there's any problem beyond the media trying to create a story and the usual idiots in the American press who should be ignored anyway.
