I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Sure as heck did. The British supply system couldn't keep up with the demands so the US not only flew all of the supplies for them but Reagan arranged for interest free loans to finance the equipment plus offered to give the British one American aircraft carrier under the old lend lease act.Originally posted by JimmyCracksCorn
We helped them in the Falklands?
Reagan also publically said he believed the UK had been attacked and under the NATO treaty it would be the UK's right to call for collective defense. Thatcher declined and instead asked Reagan to help her get her men the warmaterial and supplies they needed plus help finance the British war effort.
No direct US troops were involved in fighting but that was mostly because Maggie wanted to prove old John Bull could still stand on his own.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

AS: He is. But mainstream conservatives in France aren't quite like the mainstream conservatives in the rest of Europe and bear little resemblance to US mainstream conservatives.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

i have the feeling that in a few decades, even you Europeans will look back at your current decadence and be shocked by it, just as the Victorians were appalled at the decadence of Versailles. You'll praise the advancing progress of civilization for ridding Europe of such decadence.Teaching kid that having sex before marriage is wrong is just a stupid discredited Victorian ideal, it sure sucks."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Other then agriculture can you name an example? I know the anti-dumping laws piss alot of trade partners off and there is room for abuse but by and large they make free trade more likely by preventing mass unrest with the effects of free trade.Originally posted by Oncle Boris
You could be surprised. More often than not America is the hindrance to genuine free trade, not its partners. It's because they usually can force one-way trade overture at the detriment of others.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

what's the difference? I see the alternatives to stressing abstinence (giving out condoms) as a form of propaganda... a much stronger form that indoctrinates children into believing that sex is good; hell, they even give out condoms for us to have sex!Speer, I think it's ok to present opposing views on sexuality, but it's really a personal choice, education should be the norm, not propaganda.
for us in the land of the free, teaching kids about condoms serves a contingency purpose. we want our kids to be abstinent firstly."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Re unrest, you could have an ironic point, you mean that they don't want to press issues too much to avoid stirring up opposition?In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.
