Well gee, Spunky, I don't remember anything about the American Empire
being taught when I was in high school.  Of course, my high school
wasn't down the block from the beach and we didn't customarily come in
to school with surfboards and wet suits.  California twit...

As for empires, you might look to the British Empire to see where
that road leads:  once a center of knowledge and civilization, they're
now nothing but a penniless and decadent nation of inbred pederasts

Right, because then you'd have ordinary folks saying to themselves "You
know, it really doesn't make any sense to me, for us to be invading
Panama for something we ignored when they were our butt buddies".
Carefull, JiZzum, next you'll be shaking your head in agreement with
the War on Drugs...when you've clearly done way too much bad acid in
your youth.

And here we find JZ re-evaluating the 1st Amendment...

Finally, an inteligent suggestion from Peevetown's village idiot!

Nope, wrong again.  Sometimes I wonder if they have to have metal
detectors in schools these days because the kids are smarter than we
think, they LEARNED the essential lesson of the US's Cold War foreign
policy:  the dude with the most guns makes the rules.  Remember that,
when some street kid shoots your dick off because you're slow handing
over your wallet.  We've taught this generation well! :(

You have some ODD fantasies, dude.

Interesting.  When I told Takahashi who gave me his name, he was trying
to remember if you were the one who smudged the side of his sword, dropped
it on another student's toe (severing the toe) and took to hanging around
Society for Creative Anachronism meetings, pretending to be a samurai.
Was that you?
