jpjc2000 0 #1 December 15, 2007 Posted in PokerRoom.com... Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the o nly America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes. To My Republican Friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #4 December 15, 2007 QuotePS America is a continent... not a country Obviously, this is true. I often wondered why all the citizens of North, Central and South America do not refer to themselves as Americans. The only reason citizens of the U.S.A. call themselves Americans is because no other name would sound right. What should we call ourselves, U.S.A.icans? _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't even have any words for "everything that does not belong to the US, a.k.a sucks" because you think you are so superior that that ain't necessary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #18 December 16, 2007 I don't even want to ask.Seriously Tony, I love the U.K. I've visited many times. I'm a very picky eater by nature. I struggle in restaurants over here, but man, did I really struggle in restaurants over there. But, that's me.Italian food is my favorite and one of my most favorite Italian restaurants is in London. That's coming from a person who grew up in NY. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
