    For some reason Venezuela was offended. The UN offices must indeed be relocated to another country. Diplomats are not rcognised in the USA. The Americans at first denied it but later apologised. How long will it be before they apologise for attempting to over-throw Chavez and his government? I'm sure there will be those of the opinion that Venezuela had it coming, after that country embarassed the USA government. There will be those that will agree with Chavez and the UN is indeed going downhill. The USA is determining as to whom may attend the UN meetings.

    Sounds like the US government is acting like 1930's gangsters

    What's next: Bush talking like James Cagney?

    Man, would Cagney's ghost be pissed off if that happened.

    "Stop talking like I did in some movies before I fill ya full of holes, punk!"

    Hmmmm... I wonder if there's a possible flash animation in that... ;-)

    Looks up at warlock's post, thinks to self: oh joy, another trolling expedition.

    No point in debating with someone too thick to learn.

    "another trolling expedition"

    Clear as day, and slotted in my "ignore" folder.

    Warlock`, you do know Cagney was an actor, don't you? He was "playing" a role and his victims could stand up and walk away after the shot.

    Sorry Bioflavinoid, I didn't know that. I thought James was a real gangster. I didn't know he was an actor. Silly and stupid me.

    Your words! And finaly words of which most agree.

    Perhaps American security should only pretend.

    Sorry Bioflavinoid,<<

    I thought I recognised your trolling, from when you called yourself "anonymous". What now warluck, are you going to troll under different monikers now?

    Come on Barney. If you WOULDN'T have remembered, I would have been disappointed. At least you know I'm not Don Q. and no, I WILL NOT open another account under a different name.

    "no, I WILL NOT open another account under a different name"

    Prob because you've already done it PRIOR to making the above statement, and technically after having done so, you are telling the truth when saying what I have quoted you above.

    Anyways, I've wasted enough time on you.

    I'll leave the pleasure of taking you apart to Boflaade, that is unless he has better things to do such as changing the air in his truck's tires or counting pebbles on the walkway in his yard.

    Go get a life, or at least try reading a book that isn't all pictures.

    Can you back up what you posted with some proof? Isn't that your mantra? Proof, proof, and more proof.
    So now, back up your slanderous statements with PROOF!

    To quote Shakespear: methinks thou doth protest too much.

    If I was wrong you'd have told me to get stuffed, and left it at that.

    Your overeaction, however, is amusing.

    Please, do continue.

    Warlock, have you any clue as to what you babble on about. This will be the last responce to you. Incoherence is one thing, but dribble cuts you off.
