Russia Invades Georgia - Page 2

Well now we can be confident this never had anything to do with South Ossetia. Russia wants the Caususes back and we're on the verge of a 3rd world war.

I don't think Medvedev and Putin are quite crazy enough to incite a third world war, but I suppose you never know. I really thought Medvedev would be more democratic than Putin was, but apparently I was wrong. Of course I did think Putin would move Russia in a pro-democratic direction.

Putin is such a likable guy, it's too bad he's a mini-tyrant.

Would you and the rest of GT like to join me for some hot love in my fallout shelter?

We'd be pissed and try to get Texas and the smaller "country" back also.

Well Texans still believe they are a country, so they would be happy, and I don't think the rest of the country would miss them.

Unfortunately, much like many of the other tasteless, watered down domestic beers, the only thing good about Lone Star beer is the low price.

I would exclude Austin from this. The rest of Texas...they can do whatever. Actually keep the original Dr. Pepper factory in Dublin, TX and keep Austin for me to play shows and get wasted at SXSW every year, but yeah, the rest of TX, not so much.

I love that Texas is awesome enough that so many people that know next to nothing about it have polarized opinions on it. Kind of like how awesome Canada is.

And for the record -- Saint Arnold beer = awesome. Germy, next time you're in Austin, ask for it and you will receive much respect. Also ask for Real Ale, a very respectable set of beers that will also endear you to locals. And Shiner is the best cheap(er) beer around these parts, even their ubiquitous Bock.

Back on topic, yeah the UN does look completely useless when you list all the shit they missed. Maybe they should be disbanded?

Please, anyone who has met a Texan has had to listen to all their stupid stories about Texas history, and how they fly the flag as high as the American flag to show their arrogance, etc. It's quite sickening.

P.S. Alaska is bigger, and has better fishing

I'd much rather talk to a Canadian.

manasecret · 08-20-2008, 12:20 PM

Yeah, you can meet overly proud people from anywhere, though. Like overly proud Minnesotans who think other people give a shit about their guttural "Uff da" they say when they sit down or pick up something heavy or for just about anything they want it to mean. Or when they name their shopping plaza hell the arrogant "Mall of America" as if their dreary, white-washed shopping mall were any different than the rest of the country's.

*Grabs Popcorn*

Canadian bashing.
Gekko vs Mana.
Texas Bashing.

This is good stuff.

KillerGremlin · 08-21-2008, 12:58 PM

Okay okay....Texas isn't as bad as Florida....I'll give it that. Because, you don't move to Texas and wait to die. Plus, Texas is the most obese State in America and by my own infallible intuition, the fattest place in the world. Oh, and Tony Romo chocked against the Giants.

manasecret · 08-21-2008, 02:00 PM

Your stats are out of date -- The Most Obese States: The South Wins Again!

They say it's all the fried food, but I reckon it also has a lot to do with the awesome BBQ in most of the south.

And for the rest of you in other states, don't get too proud -- a less stinky turd is still a turd. In other words, even the state with the least amount of obesity is still 18.7% obese. There's supposed to be a national goal of reaching 15% obesity by 2010, and not even one state is close to that goal.

P.S. Tony Romo and the Cowboys can piss up a rope.

KillerGremlin · 08-21-2008, 02:12 PM

BBQ and fried food! sign me up!

Professor S · 08-21-2008, 02:45 PM

While I like most of the people here, this thread is sich an indictment of the youth of today. Russia is essentially trying to annex Geogia or parts of it, they're about to leave NATO, they are threatening nuclear attacks on Poland for putting in a DEFENSE shield with the US...

And everyone in this thread is talking about nonsense...

I'm literally saddened by this thread. It depresses me.
