Not to worry. This isn't my first exchange with Popeye and his
minions. I'm familiar with their M.O.
Notice how, after people pointed out that the USA didn't own the moon
contrary to what he claimed, our friend Popeye (a.k.a. "within one
year WMDs will be found in Iraq") dropped the subject like a hot
potato without even a 'oops I was mistaken on this particular
subject'?

I hate to trivialize your Usenet coup, but it was a joking excuse to post
a funny t-shirt URL.
Total and utter bull***. Why am I not surprised? :-)
Twisting the facts as usual. In a first post you claimed America owned
the moon. After it was kindly pointed out that you were mistaken, in a
second post you posted the URL to your lame T-shirt plus some
'finders-keepers' and 'might makes right' crap. (and tripping up on
the definition of a planet versus an asteroid)

That you were xenophobic enough to search international treaties to refute
my grand claim "says more about you that me", as Futile John would say.

It just says I won't let you get away with a lie.

As far as WMD in Iraq, you were one of the many that could have bet me
$1000 that I was wrong, and didn't.

As I have said before it was like betting if the earth is round. See,
we the many, helped you save $1000 !! You can use the money to help
offset the 10 billon bucks a month that war is costing your country
(without congressional oversight)

What a ***.
How's the truck driving job in Iraq coming along?

And not just that, but, out $1000 bucks, too, for your moral and
intellectual cowardice.

I know that bullying, blustering and personal attacks are their
standard answers when faced with unpleasant facts they can't refute.
Not to mention the xenophobia fueled by ignorance and contempt of all
things foreign.
The funny thing is that it is okay for these red blooded chauvinistic
American chest thumpers to criticise foreigners and advocate their
wholescale destruction but the reverse is considered as unbecoming
criminal behaviour!!
Yes, you are right I'm not armed. There's no real need for it where I
live. I guess there must be something really wrong with the European
way of life, you can go around without needing to be armed :-)

Like in the 40's.
Well I was thinking about 2008 you know, more than 60 years after the
end of WWII. Or are you trying to tell us that daily life in the US is
like living in a war zone?


Or where mobs of youth roam the entire country for weeks burning cars by
the thousands, unopposed by terrified authorities.

Well actually the mobs of youth you mention roamed (and trashed) their
own neighbourhoods and housing projects (especially when the TV crews
showed up) not the whole country. The authorities did a fairly good
containment job actually. I live about 16km (10 miles for the
metrically challenged) from where it all started and life went on as
usual in the neighbouring towns.

Where racial bigotry, and particularly anti-Semitism, are at an all time
high.
This is a Merkin telling me about racial bigotry? ROTFLMAO.
Quick, which country gave the world Jim Crow?
Remember James Baker?
BTW the Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism (which includes
the Jewish Agency, ADL, World Jewish Congress, B'nei Brith) says on
their French language page that antisemitic incidents have decreased
in France (about 1/3rd decrease for 2007).

Where ethnic cleansing and genocide are committed in neighboring
countries.
My mistake, I should have said Western Europe, you are writing about
events in Southeastern Europe that occurred years ago.
Funny that you be so concerned by the slaughter of muslims, in a
previous post you found it to be 'entertaining'.


-That- European way of life?
Nope the one I live.
Do you prefer the American way of life in Beverly Hills or the
American way of life in an Indian reservation in the southwest US?

Interesting read, a bit old, needs updating though as figures released
by the French Home Office in January 2008 indicate an overall decrease
for crime in France even if there was an increase in certain types of
crime.
Some LEOs here have pointed out that modern policing has fallen prey
to 'policing by numbers' hence the pressure to make as many arrests as
possible to fill the statistics sheets for the bean counters and for
the spin meisters give the appearance of doing something to combat
crime, which is then whipped up by the tabloid press. (and eagerly
lapped up by gullible Merkins :-))

I'm not saying there is no violence or crime, there is unfortunately,
but not on the same scale as the US and that is a good thing.

Oh, but it's coming.

And we aren't.

Thank God!!
