    I can't say that i really miss the standard 60s-70s sit-com, generally involving a black family moving into the neighbourhood and all the knockabout racist hijinks which followed. I can't say sit-coms have improved much, in terms of being funny, but the lack of plots revolving around the repetition of various derogatory descriptions of minorities, and their negative effect on house prices, is a welcome step forward.
    But you guys don't have Fawlty Towers anymore...that show was AMAZINGLY funny.

    They do reruns of it occasionally, it is amazing to think that they only made 12 in total.

    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    As for Costello, you know & I know that you only searched later, and that's enough for me. Had you searched right away, you would have mentioned that in your reply to Tom when he asked; anyone would.
    I'm insecure, but you've been all over the board whining like a little girl because some now think you're a fucking idiot and you want to blame your loss of respect on me. WOW

    You're still whining about 8th grade petty shit .. and wrong even about that.

    I put you on ignore because you're stupid and whiny. You would still be on ignore except that you're so whiny, I don't want you bothering other people with your pettiness.

    Got something to say to me .. say it to me.

    I, on the other hand, have nothing at all to say to you except in response.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    The BBC is so PC these days that are terrified of offending anyone. I bet you didn't know that the N-word was in there as well but they removed it.
