You need to work on your English skills, and your listening skills. I listened to his 21-minute speech and heard no such promise. Speech Transcript He did say something to the effect that, some day in the future, maybe the whole world will live in freedom. Do you disagree with that hope?

SkyDekker 1,465 #10 January 20, 2005 QuoteAre you Longing the Soviet Union by any chance? Nah, not at all, but the version where people's freedoms need to be suspended so one person can talk about freedom, well I am not sure that is the ideal either.

miked10270 0 #15 January 20, 2005 Heh heh. My own favourite didn't come from Bush, it came from a protester: "But one protester managed to get within about 150m (150 yards) of the stand, shouting: "Hey Bush, what about the poor? How many have you sent to Iraq?"" Source: BBC News. Surely Iraq doesn't really have a shortage of poor & homeless!!? Perhaps he could send some to Saudi & Iraq? Maybe send a load of them to North Korea with a warning: Surrender NOW or we send in 20 million of our surplus Lawyers! Mike.

Perhaps... We have a possible "second person", but no mention of a "grassy knoll"? Let's get back to the conquest of NK. My plan is to fly stealth bombers over and we drop a full load of lawyers. If NK doesn't surrender, then we'll drop more lawyers. If that still doesn't work, then we start dropping lawyers with parachutes!!! Mike.

You need to work on your English skills... So how's your Norweigian there John? His English is great. He didn't capitalize "english". He didn't put the quote in quote marks. He misspelled the word "whole" (hole). You misspelled "Norwegian". You omitted a comma after "Norweigian" (sic). The English wasn't the big problem - I understand what he was saying. The big problem was his incorrect interpretation of a global liberation promise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #22 January 21, 2005 Dude. Ease down on the English grammar rules. It's pretty uncalled for when someone is writing in a different language. In general, I agree with you on this (rather large and nebulous issue). But I think it's funny that BASE is pretty much legal from cliffs in Norway, while the US National Park Service has banned it.

434 2 #25 January 21, 2005 Well I tried to get some piss out of this one! I know he did not say " I promise to liberate the whole world" But I tried to read between the lines where he wanted to point! Here in Europe we are following the development with the propaganda about Iran, and the war in Iraq! Lately there have been more talk about Iran being problem nr one, and do we hear this often enough, more and more people will be convinced there is necessary to take action! When it comes to a war against Iran, I am sure NATO will be involved! Tom, I will put together a crew, and Liberate your cliffs! What do you say?
