Clearing up a common confusion

This is a nation with SOCIALIST medicine: 


SOCIALISED =/=SOCIALIST
and, just to be absolutely clear,
SOCIALIZED =/= SOCIALIST

Please feel free to print this out and distribute it if you find yourself listening to the sort of people that have seen me screaming at the news coverage all week.

I swear, if I was an American and some of the Libertarian loonies leading 'community' concerns came to my door, I would scream: 'COMMUNIST CONCERNS?? AIEEEEE! Fetch me the shotgun, Fido! Time to shoot me some trespassing Reds!'

Admittedly, this raises the questions why an American me would have a dog trained in gun fetching, and speak like Christopher Walken taking the piss, but let's just move on.

And yet they do all their screaming on the internet, a government funded initiative that relies on a community of networks. I assume the irony is lost ...

It's so funny to hear a fandom person say c-word and not mean cock ...

I can't work out if the Americans who do it are sincerely that naive or just being disingenuous twats. But yes, you would think they would look at the rest of the world and see how it worked, but no, apparently not.

I have always wanted to attend a Friends' Meeting, the level of civilisation seems very high!

We have a Berkelouw's in Newtown now, you know. And there are two French eateries in Erko these days (well, one is technically Alexandria, but still ...)

I just can't believe they're the regular folks, though. To my mind, you are regular folks. I feel convinced that most Americans are normal and think, you're just not very loud ...

HEE! Give them time and they will certainly be spelling it like that!

Walken is awesome, but I am sure that he would run screaming at me impersonating him.

I have had dogs that were trained to fetch the things that had been shot (my uncles were murder on birds, literally), but not to fetch the guns themselves ...

I feel sympathy. We know most Americans are sane, really!

I keep reminding myself that it is a small minority of Americans. A loud, stupid, small minority.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I feel that most must, but the loudest seem to have missed school that day.

Fingers crossed that sane debate soon returns to your public life!

Looking at the rest of the world? *gasp*

I lived in VA. I fell in love with the state and met so many wonderful people and consider my host family to be real family.

And I was asked by people I met how our Imperator is doing (you know, the one from the first world war), if Hitler is still alive, do we have cars, and how come I know so much about Germany. And how come I speak another language.
And all those questions were not jokes. And they were asked by adults.

Funny, I was just reading about that on The Onion. Of course, the Onion mocks all, regardless of political orientation:

Since that would give me time to finish my current subjects and go to the US for World Fantasy Con, a trip to Disneyland and possibly help Linda and Paul pack up their rental house and move into their very own house (assuming their offer is accepted), that timetable would work :)

With any luck I will only have to do one subject during sumemr session so I'll have time over summer for your great Dixtionary project.....
