Oh, you did. "Feeding off our government." was one of the criteria.

Which you are doing by making use of public amenities. Roads, cops, emergency services. That sort of thing. Ergo, you are a shitbag by your own definition, and ripe for disposal. So, when can we schedule your execution?

OMG, It's so obvious! Of course!! Science has lied to us!!!

It's time to abandon scientific progress and only look towards the Lord Jesus Christ (who is white of course) for guidance in all matters!

it takes a brave heroic man to misconstruct the statistics to the populace so they can know how evil foreign nations are aren't.

Which you are doing, since you are using government provided services. It doesn't matter if it's a symbiotic or parasitic relationship. You are feeding off the government, and thus, advocate your extermination. You don't get to change the meaning when it's you in the crosshairs.

Oh yes, I also noted that you ran away in that other thread when I called you on your pathetic insistence that libel wasn't libel when used against other people but it was when used against you.

Well naturally when YOU use government services for the things that YOU regard as important or essential, that doesn't count as "feeding off" of anything or anyone. You're still a rugged individualist who survives on wits alone! A cowboy, one might say. A handsome, brooding cowboy, who plays by nobody's rules but his own...

Right, so America has a different policy to Amsterdam and Holland, they have a higher teen pregnancy rate! O'Reilly should be taught a lesson, i bet if you search hard enough you might find a campaign against him, but FOX has a reputation for this...

That's not how to solve this you should invite him over to show him how nice the place is.
That and I have already sent him tickets and he is on the plane now. We are not taking him back.

Perhaps we could compromise and maroon him on the Azores

I've only spent ten hours in Amsterdam and it's about the only city I'd live in without hesitation outside of San Francisco...which of course for Bill O' proves his crazy ass point, but whatever...Amsterdam was awesome. Clean, friendly, nice.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Interesting. We were just discussing lies and statistical ignorance with respect to Amsterdam, which is in the Netherlands. Tell me, do you have some evidence that shows your claim is true, or are you simply here to continue in O'Reilly's footsteps?

43% of all statistics are documented to be made up on the spot.
