Oh, yeah, all those terrorists in the UK, lurking on street corners looking for Americans to bump off.
Duh.

We're pulling out of Iraq because our bit is relatively orderly. And we're sending a whole load more troops to Afghanistan.

You should call up my mom and have a chat with her! I think she might kill me for setting it up, but she might listen, cause you know more about the Uk than she or I.

When looked at statisticaly, The UK is vastly safer than America. Less guns, less violence overall, less drugs etc.

Although having said that, some parts of the UK are still pretty dangerous. Especially where i live :P i have to go out my house like >>

Because other NATO countries arent pulling their weight.

Indeed.

And even if they were, they wouldn't be as nuts as our troops. Flying into battle on the wings of Apache attack helicopters ftw!

I should start carrying guns around and shoot people... then I would have to flee the country... bad idea

that was to rescue someone! never leave a man behind!!

It was still completely nuts.

why? they pulled it off. no one died, they got the guy's body. all was good

Yes, I'm sure evil suicidal terrorists are lurking around every corner in the UK. This calls for a... !

If I recall, the Uk hasn't even been hit by terrorist bombers yet. Although I may be wrong.

I carry a pocketknife to school, just in case. I just have to make sure none of the teachers find it.

The bombings in the train station, was it not?

I think it was last year.

Yes, there was one small successful terrorist attack on the bus and train lines in London. Nothing like the scale of 9/11 though.


Yes, Abel, but Apache attack helicopters! Their wings are tiny little stubs to carry the rocket and missile pods, not to carry people.

I would, but the police hang out at our school too much

Last night
mom: are you suicidal jess
me: no!
Mom: are you depressed for some reason
me:possibly
mom: because I won't let you go to london
me: (partially) no
mom:why
me: nothing that can be helped
mom: because you like some guy but they don't like you
me: no that can be helped
(went on for 20 minutes)

Get in the house
Dad: jess do you like who you are
me: Yes, have you been talking to mom
dad: well yes we talk
me: (evil look)
dad: we have just noticed a change in your personality lately
me: so
mom: we will always be here if you need to talk, unless you become some mass murderer
me:..ok...
dad: who are you
me: me
dad:but who are you
Me: my name is jessica adele edmiston, but that is not who I am
dad: well who are you
me: me
mom: tell us about you, use ten words to descibe yourself, do you like who you are
me: yes
... continues...

If I say I like who I am drop the subjet people

I find a pair of headphones are effective at getting the message across that you're through talking.

Well they CAN carry people if needed. they have hooks and everything.

Yeah, but monumentally exposed, perched on the side of an attack helicopter. We should have helicopters like the US Littlebirds designed for carrying small groups of troops around, but we don't cos we're not spending anything like enough on the armed forces.

Haha, and would be good for getting me hit/grounded

"Describe yourself in ten words."

You could do it in four: Pissed. Off. At. You. Although, it would get you worse than grounded.

i KNOW we should. but we dont. instead we spend it on drugs and mosques. so they have to make do. anyone hear the story of the RAF crew who plugged a hole in their plane with a tea pot?

My parents tried to pyschoanalyze me once.

We ended up talking about their problems.
