Yes, go back to bestial behavior. Typical of the underclass who just cant take a joke. Corporal punishment has renounced by civilized people for over a century - except in Singapore.

I'll pray for your collective souls.

Where they have 1 of the lowest crime rates.

Murders - Houston 248, Singapore 14.
Rape - Houston 70, Singapore 1.
Aggravated assault - Houston 471, Singapore 21.
Total reported crimes - Houston 11,453, Singapore 1,934.

Singapore has more than twice the population of Houston (4.5m against 2m).

Is that a photo of Ann Diamond on a bad day?

No it is Sharon's sister holding a flying dildo. Sharon doesn't have any hands so her sister needs to hold the dildo. (remember, Sharon looks like a plastic bottle.)



Do you live permanently in the gutter?

I agree Doc, JimBob has taken that to far.
Listen too me Mangel Wurzel. I still haven't had an apology from you and no amount of crawling can substitute for one.

Only Small parts of it.

"civilized" according to the dictionary I use (the one that came with Mozilla.)

Let me put that through my Extremely Bad English machine to see if it can make any sense out of it.

You Brits are good at the extremely bad English machine - Never buy an English auto of any make unless it comes with a mechanic named "Percy"

hmmm... let me see.

Aston Martin? 1 of the best marques in the world.
Morgan? Hand-built by old school craftsmen.
Lotus? OK, Lotus are rubbish at reliability.
TVR? Bits fall off them all the time because they don't fit properly. Oh, wait a minute... they're built from American parts, aren't they. Anyway, TVR is owned by a Canadian these days. Well known for building cars, Canadians are.

Now, where was I? Oh yes...

Nissan Micra? 1 of the most reliable cars in the world. Built in NE England.
Mini? Wonderful little car and incredibly reliable. Built in Oxford.
Noble? You can't fault them. (OK, they're built in South Africa; but designed in Britain. However, they have now been bought by an American company based in Cincinatti but will continue to be bult in South Africa)
Ascari? A supercar to rival Ferrari & Lamborghini. Built in Banbury
Marcos? Face-stripping acceleration from this supercar.
Pro-drive Subaru Impreza WRC? Banbury again.

And all of the above can actually go round corners and don't need a sports stadium to do a U-turn!

American cars are still in the Dark Ages. For instance, the new Mustang has a live rear axle. WTF! Europeans got rid of those suicidal contraptions decades ago!

And when it comes to bhp per cc, the Americans are waaaaay behind. Pro-drive get over 500bhp from a 2litre 4-cylinder engine. Americans need 8litre V8s to get that much power.

"Yes, go back to bestial behavior. Typical of the underclass who just cant take a joke. Corporal punishment has renounced by civilized people for over a century - except in Singapore."

The ultimate in corporal punishment is the death penalty- still used in the USA- notably by a Mr Bush.

Most civilised states have given it up. I believe most of them also have lower murder rates.

If we want a debate about the death penalty let's put it in its own thread and leave this one to congratulate the originator.

Go! MakeItLady!
