Maybe if they let go of the stereotype and just became citizens, instead of the "poor me" attitude, there would be less to even bother with. Kind of like that lady waiting fer for her gun permit in stead instead of finding other means to protect herself you mean? Fixed it for you. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

Their population will grow, and they'll lose their ability to forage for food on their own. They will expect you to feed them and will attack you if you don't. They'll become like little welfare recipients, and you wouldn't want to do this to them.” - A sign in the Rocky Mountain National Park which aptly summarizes the welfare problem What a great description of the defence defense industry, and the car industry and the financial industry. Can't spell defense without that (s) there buddy. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you can see why the abbreviated version is easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who said anything about "native"? India, Pakistan, Nigeria and UK alone have more English speakers than the USA. Then there are millions more in Germany, Philippines, Canada... The name of the language is ENGLISH. In American football, it is clearly "deefense" anyway.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
