Oh and let's not forget the war of 1812! With the terror caused by those maurading Yankees, my fragile psyche can hardly take it.
And I think maybe your ancestor bonked mine over the head with an antelope bone & evicted him from our family cave, Oh the injustice!!!
Somebody call John Edwards, I think I need a lawyer...

Somebody call John Edwards, I think I need a lawyer... | I agree with Freebird. I need to be compensated for those Dastardly English Invading Scotland over a 1000 yrs or more. My Celtic Heritage is crying out for justice because of those Sassanachs Bastards from the South
And I also need to be compensated for the English losing Singapore and my Uncle being forced to become a POW. And seeing that I need compensation from the Japanese For my Uncles Imprisonment.
And I further desire to be paid for my family immigrating to Australia in the 1840s from Scotland by the English once again. Can we also arrange payments for all my family members living and deceased to be compensated for living in paradise and the strain of such since the 1840s.
Whilst we are at it can I also get payment for being Scottish/Celtic and being paid due to the colour of my skin.
Come on Freebird I think we can squeeze a few dollars out of some ones Govts or 2 |

Country: | How about if the 60 NJ State Assemblymen and the 29 NJ State Senators who voted for this resolution, apologize to the good people of this state and country for ever passing this piece of sh*t in the first place.
Apologize
I'll apologize when Hell freezes over

Country: | Joy, sounds like a good idea but politics here does not flourish based on what the people of the state think about them. They do what they want, when they want and to hell with the voting public. We have the most populated state in the country - more people per square mile - and still we have politicians who hold offices as Mayor, Freeholder and State Assemblyman / Senator. Its called dual office holding. Theres not enough people to fill these positions???
We have had several indicted in the last year for holding no-show government jobs, just to boost their pensions. We had an Attorney General who said that convicted politicians should NOT lose their pension. And we just had an indicted State Senator - who has been accused of no-show jobs, hiring relatives, getting State business in no-bid contracts for his business - and he was just denied by the court to use his unused campaign funds to pay for his legal fees! The audacity to even think you could.
Google the Mayor of Newark, Sharpe James, and read the shenanigans he did for 20 years in his city. They voted racial 20 years ago and Newark is the golden jewel of a city on the eastern seaboard? No matter what race or religion, every politician is the same.
They wanted to ban eggs in this state a few years ago because of the harm to people. ?????????
We had a gay governor who put his gay, Muslim boyfriend in the position of Homeland Security - with NO credentials!!!!
Our current governor was in a car accident in April. His State trooper chaffeur was texting on his phone at 90+ mph (not an emergency or anything, just cruising down the Parkway shoving people outta the way), the gov. had no seatbelts on and he paid I believe a $48 fine. Nobody else in this state would get away with that.
The people bitch, complain, protest, yada, yada, yada. And they still vote them in, year after year after year.
