I think we have a liberal media because the truth has a liberal bias.

Oh, and the jews... I forgot about the jews.
Is Obama a Natural Born US Citizen?

I'd do a serious response, but this seems to much like satire.

I think I speak for everybody when I say stop with the daily show links already. No one wants to watch average to long videos just to have a discussion with someone that's barely literate.

don't watch them then their are humorous and informative
Fine, but only because I've been bored with this birth certificate thing for over a year anyway. I literally watch my computer for 16 hours a day, constantly clicking the reset button, waiting earnestly for the birth cert "Mission Accomplished" banner to fly so we can all move on with our lives. My biggest regret is it didn't come prior to Donald Trump flapping his gums.

I know what you wrote - European settlers' treatment of indigenous Australians in the 20th Century was somehow altered by the beliefs of Hitler and the publication of Mein Kampf. It wasn't. European attitudes towards Indigenous Australians (which did echo Hitler's beliefs in many ways - "terra nullis" is English for lebensraum) were entrenched long before Hitler was even born and endured (and in some cases, sadly, continues to endure) long after his demise.
If that wasn't what you meant, well, perhaps you should have written what you meant instead of what you actually wrote.

Jesus, I thought this was a joke.
Mantis, you misread what he wrote. Go back and read it again.

it's on page 8, buddy.
I thought Mantis had a pretty good off-the-cuff response, so how about your interpretation now. Man up. It's time to put the money on the line.
Really, colton? I have to show a bunch of stuff every time I do any stuff that's marginally meaningful stuff. Obama aside, don't you think office of pres is a little more important than me getting a checking account? I don't have reason to believe anything. You know how Thrickynumbsandrew would be going off if this was R in tha house.

What's really going on here is Obama is a narcissist and wants folks talking about him to the saturation point. Laugh it off all you want. When you're done, ask yourself when he finally released the goods. It wasn't after the billionaire rock star started asking about it, was it? Obama's tryin' to impress comb over like KOCB trying to impress who s/he perceives to be the big ***** here. Miserable fail.

LMAO! Dude, Mantis goes back to the old days. He lives in Australia, and he get pissed if anyone disses his homeland. No biggie, he's a great poster who doesn't come around as much as he should.
franky, I realize this could be misinterpreted, but as a man, I have to admit I'm clueless. Thank you for pointing that out.
Perhaps you could man up and set me straight? That would be sweet. Thanks.

Fair enough, dude. Sometimes I can't tell what is friendly banter. In this case, I figured what you said was. For what it's worth, thanks for pulling the old timer card on me. What is a bar without it's old character?

Look dude, I'm not pulling anything with you. I have no idea who NAOS is. I saw the Mantis post and I was baffled. At first I thought he misunderstood, but you know how this board is. I thought maybe he was joking. I don't know NAOS, but look at his post and the part that Mantis misunderstood. Looks like an honest mistake to me, but whatever. I'm not pulling any cards.

Sigh. Okay, I'll try again.
However, on a serious note, you appear to be making a temporal relationship between Hitler and the course of European/Indigenous relations in Australia, and implying some sort of causal relationship as well. I do not agree in any way shape or form with this assertion, if this is what you are saying. As I said, you can certainly draw parallels between the early settlers' attitude that the continent was "uninhabited", and the shooting of/driving out of natives living in areas wanted as pastoral land or other settlement, and Hitler's writings about "Lebensraum". I can also see a parallel between the Nazi practice of abducting children of Aryan appearance from occupied Poland and placing them with German families, and the Australian practice of taking Indigenous children away from their parents and placing them with white families (a practice begun in the 19th Century and not ended until 1969) - although the Australian practice was far more sinister in its motives (genocide by "breeding-out" being amongst them). And then there is the actual genocide of the Tasmanian Aborigines. And so on. However, if you are saying that Hitler's ideas were neither new or unique, but were actually espoused and even practiced by others, and the history of Australian settlement is evidence of this, then you are correct.
It's possible to read this as saying that Hitler was in Australia at some point in time - and yes, I know that isn't what he meant, it's just a quirk of the English language, and his choice of words and sentence structure. Hence my attempt at a humorous quip that Hitler wasn't Australian but Austrian. So ignore that bit, if that made you think I didn't understand what you wrote.

I'm pretty sure if I dissed the USA I'd get a whole heap of nastygrams
. In fact I have been on one discussion board where the board owner made a rule that since most of the board members were American, it was verboten to say nasty things about the USA.But I get pissed at other things too. Like TNT making a "Big Love" reference in their Utah's "Gone Fishin'" pic, why I find offensive even though I am neither Utahn nor LDS, nor do I consider myself a PC advocate. I just find it incredibly disrespectful to persist with this stereotype. Stay classy, TNT!

That's what I thought at first.
No. Mantis, nobody said anything like this.
Obviously I was wrong about you taking this seriously. Please, read again the post by NAOS. I don't know what else to say.
