Hey, Lobley’s got a cousin in Canada! Hey, Mr. 007… go re-read the thread, except replace the word “soccer” with “hockey”. Take special note of the numerous instances where the phrase “I don’t care” is used. ---

**zuma** , what exactly was the point of dredging this up? If you don’t like what a certain poster has to say, fine, and I’m sure you’re not the only one, but this is just childish. ---

Well, we could point out that trade sanctions were not imposed when the US had its ass handed to it (deservedly) in the International Basketball Championships. ---

Moderators. please lock or delete or something this thread. It is so old it has my old name on it for god’s sake. Some childish person (zuma or something) brought it back after seeing my thread entitled ‘You Americans’ and, like the deeply uninteligent person he/she/it is brought this one back. Anyone who thinks I am the same as I was then either doesn’t know me well enough or is just as bad as zuma. The SDMB and life has drummed the ignorance out of me, I admire and respect All people (except maybe islamic militants and most fundementalist religeous types, and people who SHIT STIR, zuma). please close this thread and let me not be reminded of my ignorant past. ---

I’d like to apologize to Lobsang. It was indeed childish. I was in a bad mood, FWIW, but that’s really no excuse. Again, my apologies, Lobsang. ---

Apology accepted. And now I must apologise for the way I reacted. That thread and others like it are a bad memory for me, it hit a nerve when you brought it back. so I overreacted. I can understand to a degree that people think I still America-bash. I may not use as much tact as I should. ---

> [@](#): > > I couldn’t believe it when I heard that a player from Colombia (I think his name was Andres Escobar) fucked up during a game, and scored a goal for the wrong side, and was shot when he arrived back home in Colombia. i heard he was having an affair and a jealous husband killed him… the PROBLEM is that he was KILLED…it doesnt matter WHY. if someone is sick enough to kill someone you can bet that the killer has sick reasons. bj0rn - … ---
