RE: aio vp confusion again
Mr. Long, For you to single out a given country only shows your own weaknesses. You speak of common courtesy, yet you have the gall to include an entire country in you comments. Should we lump you into the same group as Jack the ripper, or the other morals lacking Ladies and Dukes, in the monarchy of your country? Should we believe their low morals are also yours sir? Are all Brits the same? Please Mr.. Long... question yourself, before you speak of others.

"Morals lacking ladies and dukes"? You mean a bunch of Counts don't you? Anyway, the words "pot", "kettle" and "black" come to mind. What have the monarchy done to deserve being put in the same category as Jack the Ripper? >Should we believe their low morals are >also yours sir? Are all Brits the same? > >Please Mr..
