The first two times I read this, I couldn't get my mind to jump to geologically joining up. So instead, what I got was "Well that's a funny way to spell Alliance."

So it's totally okay for someone to mug me in the US? Good to know.
People who vacation here ARE protected by general US laws. I think Stran specifically meant domestic abuse, although it's not like a woman or man wouldn't be able to find help, we just can't (I believe) hold the offending person in jail. Case has to be taken care of in the couple's respective homeland.

I agree with you, but I think Great Handsome Oppressor was aiming at the damage the fuel does wherever you store it.

That doesn't really make sense since domestic abuse is just a specific form of assault, no?

It is now. I fucking hate polititions most of the time; I have a friend that wishes we were still under Britain. He doesn't know that we may never have expanded futher than the Appalation moutains. I just nod, because he's my friend.


I'm probably voting Obama. I ask people why they don't like him and they reply. "well, he's a Muslim"

"HAHA, Have you seen 'im, 'e luuks liiike a Muunkie"
