I note you do NOT now say "A debt is a loan id a debt" or some such
combination.
Get back to me when you're old enough to be on the internet without
parental control.

Ok, in addition to the ignorance we already knew about, now we see
that you're too stupid to 'get' sarcasm.

Yes, and we could all be killed by nickels falling from space. Not
bloody likely, though.

Which has nothing to do with anything.

So what? One more time - You think no US nationals own British

Yeah, do us a favour - don't post again on Usenet until it does.

Exactly. Thank you for admitting your tirade about America is merely
stupid.
