Weatherman, how did you get that video in your signature?

I'm trying to get a gif in there and I can't get it to work.

The health insurance reform, the stem cell research funding, the lift of the ban on abortion-providing aid organisations' funding, the support for anti-gay-discrimination UN resolutions, moves to repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell", various personal and political moves from the new administration etc. etc. have restored my faith in the shining beacon on the hill, once again proving that the greatest strength of America comes from its ability to reinvent itself and be reborn in its ideals, like a phoenix.

I love America again.  :cool:

Eliminate the spaces that you have between the brackets, Siege.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

What he said; I only put the spaces in as it wouldn't show the code if I did it the normal way.

So, your love is conditional.
Thanks but you can keep your fucking love.

Love should always be conditional.

You try and beat me, and I won't love you anymore.

Could you please use something smaller, though? That gif was already annoying as fuck when CdM had it.

Unconditional love of a country is not caring what the object of your love does, thinks or believes. Like burning heretics in public squares, giving infected blankets to the Indians or forcing people to wear pink triangles... and yellow stars too. Lead to the Dark Side, that way does...

Martinus is lying, at any rate.  His hatred for America is constant and eternal, and goes far deeper than his rather questionable devotion to homosexuality.
Then I must also love to constantly rekindle that hate, since in each category, be it movies, books, tv series, shows and podcasts, works originating in America are on top of my most favourite list (although probably in the books category they are close second, after the British ones).

You are not an American. You are an Arab plant.

Exactly.  You're just like an Arab.  You hate, but you can't escape, and that makes you hate all the more.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

We only do that because it pisses Iran off.
