Can Osama keep Bush afloat?

My favorite quotes...

"Hope you guys enjoys 3rd world status."

Take a nice little recee and look at the stats my fellow country-mate - it is we that are falling into third-world status (health care, internet access, poverty, education, etc. etc... - the list goes on and on). And thanks for proving my point on education. Next time you decide to represent the rest of us Yanks, please take the bother to learn the language.

"...time telling folks not to piss the US off "

What's that my totalitarian friend? Piss us off and we will kill you? Seriously? Are you wearing a Brown Shirt today?

"These comments are made by conspiracy theorists who just rant about crap. If you can offer up proof to back any of these ridiculous claims"

Someone needs to find an alternate news source to Fox.

"Bush's policies have so far prevented continued terrorist attacks in the US, strengthened the US economy, and is rebuilding the economy in Iraq, to the great satisfaction of the majority of the Iraqi population."

Wow. Speechless doesn't even begin to...

"Point 5: Th majority of US citizens couldn't possibly care less about the opinions of the English, the other Europeans, nor the rest of the world."

6% of the world's population, in an increasingly interconnected world, and the rest of you 94% can just piss off! We're America dammit! And if it wasn't for us, you all would be speaking German right now! And so the same old tired song goes. Sounds like a hyper self-indulgent, spoiled child throwing a tantrum at the fact that he is, in fact, not the sole center of the Universe.

As I so often find myself having to do these days - My sincerest apologies to our friends across the pond. Not all of us are such bullheaded troglodytes. They just happen to speak with louder voices.

'As I watch England turn into a quivering pile of dung'

Alas, for the rest of the world...

As an American, upon reading arrogant, uneducated, and illiterate crap such as this, all I can feel is deep regret for the fact that idiots like this have the right to vote for men like our current 'Idiot in Chief', who think the greatest accomplishment they can make in the world is to use the vast economic and military assets of the US to promote a militaristic agenda of bullying and belittling every other country on the planet. Unfortunately, for the rest of the 96% of the population of Planet Earth outside of the US, these 'The American Way or the Highway' types yield disproportionate representation. If this were not the case, they would be seen as merely pathetic and sad. As we have seen, the actuality of their arrogance and aggression often results in real tragedy. Amazingly, the last five years have seemed to have taught them nothing.

I only hope those of you outside the US understand that despite outward appearances, not all of us are hyper-aggressive nutcases just waiting to glass any country that dares to differ with US.

A correction of corrections

Can we give the bloke a break? Seems to me all the comments regarding "______ exists" has a 100 per cent chance of being correct." miss the real point, which is a rather humourous (in my humble opinion) broad philosophical statement, and not an exact mathematical construct (e.g. in answer to the daft, but often heard question, "Does life exist anywhere else except Earth?") And, while we're on the subject of mathematical constructs, there is `infinity' and there is `infinity'; for instance, countably infinite is a legitimate mathematical idea, which rather closely approximates the Universe. You don't agree, eh? Please tell me when you finish counting all the particles in it then. There is also the possibility of infinite surfaces in finite spaces. We tend to think Cartesian, but imagine walking on the surface of a sphere (positive curvature) and keep going until you reach the `end'.
