IRAQ vs USA/UK

[Gumbo]

Munkey, how do you pronounce Qatar correctly, there are sooo many different pronunciations on the TV at the moment, I want to know which one to shout, 'No, you mong!!' at.

 

[old.Fweddy]

Kids with guns don't kill people. Video games kill people.

You ask any well-informed journalist or parent.

 

[~Lazarus~]

well, my other halfs family pronounces it like

"cutter"

with eastern accent.

But...they may be wrong

 

[Munkey-]

cat-uh

but you say it fast so its not "caat uhh" but "cat-uh"



and remember folks! GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE!

THE BULLET DOES! (unless your some psycho-maniac who likes to rifle butt people)

edit: if somebody is willing, i have an 8kb sound file of me saying Qatar.

just need somebody to host it

 

[Gumbo]

Thankyou, I'm going with Cat-uh then with a hint of Cut in the Cat.

If video games affected kids, we'd all be running around dark corridors eating pills listening to pulsating music.....hang on....

People do have the power to change things in a democracy, which is why the government has to be slightly more sly about the way it controls its citizens.

America, for example, force feeds kids patriotism: so when someone uses their "god given right to free speech" to speak out against the government they're accused of being unpatriotic. (and booed off the stage ™Michael Moore)

America is not as free as you'd think.

I received this today. I don't know why I'm putting it here.



TWO TOUGH QUESTIONS:

Question 1:

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she hadsyphilis would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before reading the answer for this one.

Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and your vote counts.
Here are facts about the three leading candidates:

Candidate A: Associates with crooked politicians, and
consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain
smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B: He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps
until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whisky
every evening.

Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian,
doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any
extramarital affairs.


Which of these candidates would be your choice?


NO PEEKING SCROLL DOWN.








Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt
Candidate B is Winston Churchill
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler

And by the way...
Answer to the abortion question, if you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.

Makes a person think before judging someone.

Never be afraid to keep an open mind.
Remember amateurs built the Ark - professionals built the Titanic.

Booed off the stage ? How utterly utterly inhumane, how barbaric, does Amnesty know about this, what a terrible terrible place the world has become.

Booing people, what next, summary executions ?

 

[nath]

Natch I'm not comparing that to gassing people. Infact I found the whole thing (oscar speech, and the reaction it got) quite amusing. The fact remains, america is not such a free country. They just use slightly more underhand/subtle techniques to control their citizens.


And of course, George W Bush is not the real elected president... democracy rocks!

1718: Popular uprising reported in Basra. British troops said to be firing into the city where Iraqi soldiers were shooting at civilian protesters.

In the Egyptian and Palestinain dialects it's pronounced more cut-rrr (half rolled R)

//EDIT: As a side note, most western people can't pronounce the rolled R sound Or many other sounds in the Arabic language. I'm still sure that scousers could manage tho

 

[Munkey-]

i could pronounce it like an arab but i havent got the necessary throat infection
