Hang on, I think I'm taking offense...

Re: Great diary (none / 1)
If you've travelled abroad, and watch TV less than 10 hours a week then you are excused ;-)

Izzy - it's all sweeping statements, don't take it personally

You can't be me, I'm taken

Re: Great diary (none / 0)
Um,  I take the fifth on both counts... I mean, I have travelled abroad, if by abroad you mean technically, y'know, leaving the country, although since 99% of said travel consisted of having tea with various relatives... and my tv viewing, well... okay, fine.  I'm guilty dammit.  I'm swept up like so much dust into the rubbish bin of... oh, forget it.  ;-)

Seriously, though, I'm sorry to say I'm offended and then disappear.  I wasn't in a sulk, I swear -- our server was down.

Re: Great diary (4.00 / 2)
Gah, now I feel guilty for rating Sven a 4...

In my defense, his description of the way the US treats the "alliance" issue, (other countries as a resource) put me into a deja vu about a big political argument over Iraq I had with an ex-gf from the US.

No excuse, I know... but the flashbacks! It's worse than 'Nam I tells ya!

No feeling guilty!  I'm feeling guilty for being somewhat flippant and then disappearing (explanation above).
