Swordfish, you're absolutely correct. I meant to say Poorest country in Europe. My apologies. Thanks for catching that before Negative got all anal about it.. :)
:D ROFL! :DQuote:
Please allow me to explain? it is because "johhny EU foreigner" would not recognise the Stars and Stripes.............................which is understandable, as the guy (GI) has sewn them on wrong way round?
Hey Cyber1d,
Not only that...............it looks like Holland is in severe difficulties, their flag is upside down :D (Upside Down is an international distress signal)
The German and French flags are correct..................guess someone got a copy of photoshop for Christmas and does not know how to use it :cool:
The black and white tag says "Doing The Work Of"
Oh Well :rolleyes:
The three flags under the US flag are Russia, Germany, and France. They're all correct including the US one which is always mounted with the stars facing forward on the right arm of US soldiers.
Where the hell did Holland come in??
Nihil > The Dutch flag isn't upside down... the Dutch flag is red-white-blue (top-to-bottom), the upside-down version would be blue-white-red... the flag in the picture is white-blue-red, which is the Russian flag.
All of the flags are correct :)
Methinks Nihil got a particularly nice case of wine from Santa..... :D
Well, anyone care to explain what the hell Russia has to do with anything American..........they are in no shape or form your allies, they aren't even your friends, and would be highly delighted at any pratfall the USA may make.
Tiger~ rum actually :drink:
Yeah, and them Irish handmaidens with chocolate.Quote:

Apparently you don't get the joke of the picture... when the US went into it Iraq, it opposed by the UN. But 3 key allies - France, Germany, and Russia - were very out spoken about the US going in and blasted the US with comments and etc. Now use your wicked sense of humor and try to rethink why the picture is funny.Quote:

**** the U.N. ! in all the glory of the English language! I truely believe that U.N. stands for United Numbnuts! Obviously, you like to forget the UNs incompetence:Quote:
Sooooo.... what about the UN troops? The troops that made sure your fatherland's people (the poorest country in Europe) didn't all die from hunger... those 50k+ troops that do their best to help people in need... it's pretty obvious that you don't respect those at all (from previous posts)... they're military, no? Or at least emergency-task-ish?... or maybe you just don't respect the organ they're working for. If that's the case, you just made a perfect analogy for people who don't like the (American) policy and who you amongst others accuse of "betraying" the troops. Thank you and you're welcome
I can't wait for another "**** the UN" reply without any background!

Hmm...Well this thread went way off course, but it's still good dialogue, so I'm game. ;)
Question for my liberal friends: You oppose Bush "oppression", but welcome UN oppression? I think this perceived contradiction is best shown here by SwordFish's comment:
But the UN is pushing INTERNATIONAL law, i.e., "What's good for the UN is good for everybody".Quote:
Whats right for you Might be wrong for other.
That may not be where the UN is yet, as this "international law" concept is still in its youth (but we sure saw it take flight with this Iraq war), but it's certainlyl hard to claim that it's not heading that way.
Had the UN remained a means of mere peace-keeping by collaberation, I'd be all for it. But as long as the UN grows more and more into a world-wide governing, law-making body, I will vehemently oppose its existance.
