For me it's more a sport. The candy is just an afterthought.

Gotta love hyperbole.

Well it's just practicality for me most kids don't have money and what's the point in killing someone if you don't loot the body? So in loo of cash I take the candy.

Hmmm, the stats from the UN say that the likelihood of getting murdered by a youth is significantly higher here in the US that Sweden:

The US ranks #3 just under friggin' Columbia!  Sweden ranks number 60.

AiG lying to everyone? No, you don't say...

Are they running that billboard again?  At one point they had that image on their website (I didn't check to see if it is there now).

What is it that makes some people so willing to lie to support their views?  Is AiG being profitable enough that this could just be about bringing in more people for more money?

Surely that's a fake?  I think it's just a parody of this one:

Which is almost as bad, sure, but at least it leaves out the Fox News-style "evil Yoorupeens r commie monsters" vibe.

Well, Poe strikes again.

At least that brings it back to the rusty old "no law without a law-giver" argument, which is - of course - a pile of poo.

Ah, right...that was what the original billboard said.  AiG is so crazy I didn't even question the fake billboard's validity.

Poseidon is the source of the sea. I deny Poseidon. Therefore, the sea does not exist.

Around here...we spell it color.  Maybe that means a southern person made the billboard image?

Your entire country spells it "colour," and our entire country spells it "color," with the exception of those who cannot spell.

It's the same with the words tyre--tire and aluminum--aluminium.

hmm...

It's not, according to my spell check, and when I look "colour" up in the Dictionary, it simply says something along the lines of "Common British spelling for color."

We pronounce it differently as well.


aeroplane--airplane
arse--ass
barmy--balmy
behove--behoove
bogeyman--boogeyman
carburettor--carburetor
eyrie--aerie
furore--furor
grotty--grody
haulier--hauler
maths--math
moustache--mustache
mum--mom
snigger--snicker

Fix'd

The two sounds are exactly the same. Why should they be spelled differently?
