I would prefer to not limit ourselves to just the Chinese. Bashing
Brits was a breath of fresh air. Look at all they've done to us!
Inches, miles, gallons, an un-spellable language close to being official
at the expense of the wonderfully phonetic Espaniolish. Not to mention
these cars. A nation of blacksmiths competing with engineers!
Perhaps we could benefit by broadening the barbs a bit more: I propose
LITHUANIANS! We brew good beer, make good sausage, eat a lot of
potatoes, and produce fairly good looking women. We also have upwards
to 300,000 illegals living in the U.S. and are responsible for most of
the auto theft in Germany. What's not to like? Chester Riley's buddy,
Otto Schmidlap, claimed to be Lithuanian. Michael Conn might be a
Lithuanian!

Subject: [Spridgets] Civility?
Given that this is a multi national membership, is it really
necessary
to make disparaging comments which quite definitely offend
some
members?
I really appreciate all the side trips we take from time to time,
just
as much as the car talk, but I resent private opinions being
aired,
which decry my country or her people, or her monarchy. Just as
some
others object to American politics being discussed here. I'm
sure
others must feel the same way, but perhaps do not wish to speak.
Sir, I am offended
