We must assume that's what she means by 'sexually assaulted me from behind' - particularly since the poor auld cünt can't even stand up these days. If you ask me, she ought to feel privileged to be goosed by the last president not to actually dodge a war.Quote:

While easy on the eye, she does seem a bit fùcking tiresome, doesn't she? All he did was feel your arse, love. Get over it.Quote:

It's simply etiquette, the way of things. No big deal, if you're not an American.Quote:

Which is why I would address Bush as Mr Bush, as you say courtesy or manners.Quote:

I've never really understood these things, retired Military people still going by what are professional titles. It's fúcking nonsense.
Of course but, as so often, that comes purely from your own ignorance and can therefore be disregarded by the rest of us.Quote:

You are Irish, so I suppose we can forgive your ignorance. What is this bint's defence?
Nor me. Ultimately it is about the power of the ruling class to expect us lower mortals to bow and scrape as if it were the natural order of things, whereas those of us with a natural, burning spirit of egalitarianism instinctively resist such nonsense.Quote:

Nope. THere is no comparison.Quote:

Key differences include the fact that the legislative cannot remove a PResident but can remove a Prime Minister. The PResident's job is formally defined within the constitution and formally elected whereas the the PM is a monarch appointee, arising from a public vote to elect the legislature.
Most crucially, the PResident's job contains a formal military role and the PM's doesnt.
Most important of all, you call the ****ing bloke Mr President. If you dont like it, **** off!
Yep, you have grasped that part. I think we are all clear on that part.Quote:

Once you grasp that you are well on your way :)

God knows I don't often agree with you. But it's getting ridiculous now. What, so every little skank who comes out of the woodwork deserves a payoff or day in court? Check out this rag of an article. Basically every major actor is implicated.Quote:
