Hello,
Here's one I didn't know about previously.

11 Dead. 20 injured. With a Tractor. Also in 2010.
--Anthony
Edited to conform with independent research apart from wikipedia. All news articles I find confirm only 11 dead.
Note to Self:
Raptor - woman testifying about birth control is a slut (the term fits.)
Six - Wow, isn't Niki quite the CUNT? And, yes, I spell that in all caps....
Wulf - Niki is a stupid fucking bitch who should hurry up and die.

You KNOW full well I do, 'cuz I mention it a lot, and believe me, I pay attention to both you and PK, becasue as I've said before, my friends outside the US teach me a lot from both their outside perspectives AND because they get news we don't. I thought KPO was British, too...and we used to have Citizen (I may not have liked him, but I paid attention) and Gino was a Canook (which he took as a pejorative, but which I saw as a familiar nickname, like Yankee or Brit or Ozzie).
When someone mentions where they live, whether they're male or female, what age they are, etc., I keep track, along with maybe a note of specific likes, dislikes, etc. It makes it easier for me to know who I'm talking to and what their perspective might be. It goes beyond that with you and PK, 'cuz first off, I came to like you both and second, I've got a terrible weakness for Ozzies and Brits. Aside from that, I had two very special friends from Australia, and ended up with real good feelings about you guys. As for Brits, they've always been my weakness and I adore the country. Nonetheless, I don't think I'm the only one who remembers where you two come from; I just wish we had more of you, and others from other countries, too. We need perspectives from outside our country to help us understand things better.
Thanks Niki. I had one of those 'invisible girl' type sensations. Did you ever watch Buffy? It annoyed me because I post a fair bit in here and I post about my country when I feel I can say something of interest. Sometimes I don't feel like i have much to say about a lot of stuff in America, but I read through lots of it and have learnt a lot about what happens over there. It has been a really interesting learning experience hearing about life from everyday citizens, rather than media spin.
One of my disappointments in the Internet is that it is so US focused. Or at least the sites I venture onto are. Not that I mind hearing from people in the US, but I had hoped to be chatting from people from all over the world, where we could share experiences from our lives. I've learnt what it is like to live in the US, but not China or Paraguay or Malaysia.
I have also found that overwhelmingly Americans are interested in America only. This board has been one of the most open to having discussions that are not about America or Americans, and I know that you have always been interested. I've found the Amerocentric nature of discussions frustrating, especially when I read comments like 'a publically funded healthcare system WILL never work' or 'restricting guns will NEVER make an impact on gun violence' and I get a bit 'er, hello, do you ever read about the rest of the world'.
Anyway, rant over. Having a petulant moment. I too remember stuff about people when they've posted informtation about themselves. Guess not every else does.

Anyway, on this one. I wanted to note that it's not just the propaganda, it's more the power and the money the NRA weilds, believe me. They are considered the second most powerful lobby in our government, and they work with ALEC, which is a right-wing "nonprofit" (HAH) that WRITES LAWS for their Republican cronies to pass. It's far more than just the propaganda! And a HUGE number of us do see it, know why it's there and know we can't touch them...it's not blindness, it's impotence! The NRA "grades" candidates, and the pro-gun people take that very seriously, as do contributors and potential backers...they know any even MENTION of any kind of gun restrictions is a black mark against them and might cost them an election. It's far more complex than just the propaganda, and the propaganda doesn'NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
