Obama is going to win the presidential election, so it doesn't matter who the Rep. nominee is. I am a republican, but I do not like any of the canidates representing my party this go around.

You guys are still cool with me using the term "pretentious wank" right?
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

You don't need to be embarrassed about your career choices.

You Yanks ditched the "u" as you wanted to distance yourself from us, your lords and masters.

And now as a result of this inferiority complex you have a choice between a rape supporter, Rick Santorum, or a tax dodger, Mitt Romney.

So whose going to win?

No one. We long ago realised that politics is a dead end. Our politicians are pilloried, apart from a few, and our journalism is the best in the world.

How you lot can watch Fox News with a straight face is beyond me.


Seems like we hit a sore sport.

Lords and masters... My dear, I believe that went out in 1776. 4 July to be exact (the date written is another IDIOsyncrasy of the 'English' language).

In our Declaration of Independence from 'you lot,' I hope the fine print reads: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness by not having to add those extra 'U's' in words.

Is my punctuation right or have we gone back to step one again? :biggrin:

There should be a full stop after 'you lot.' Then a new sentence.

Unfortunately, that would be incorrect, since everything before "you lot" is a subordinate clause; therefore, in_bluer_skies' (skies's?) punctuation is correct. She even placed the comma inside the closing quotation mark, which is correct.

If you would have learned the American English language, there should not be a full stop after a fragment of a sentence.

I second this. Mr. Brian, please delete crystal89's account; the lack of knowledge about English grammar and punctuation is appalling.
