'Don't whiz on the Alamo,' Texas tells man facing jail

[Beowulf]

It was still theft of Mexican land.

 

[Jiro]

wtf is "USAnian"?????

 

[Jiro]

Jiro I have already explained this. It is the term that those of us who live outside the USA are giving to its inhabitants. We are taking back the term "American" for all the people of the Americas. I have seen people refer to USAnians as Amerikkkans on other sites but that is just plain offensive.

you're a cheeky one, eh? why don't we stick with real term, shall we?

interesting. ive camped both in the U.S. and canada. ive also puled over myriad of times. never have i while camping in the wilderness felt it was a crime or even was shamed by pissing when i needed to. on rocks or trees, hell one time i had to run holding my pants from some angry wasps......

same with pulling over.

maybe America has changed

sad

...you wouldn't have had to run from the angry wasps...if you had ur "bottle" with ya....and you can get all kinds of things in the woods...ticks..poison ivy...poison oak...to name a few...not funny at all.

 

[Jiro]

I cannot bring myself to do it dude. Inhabitants of the USA is maybe a mid way compromise which I could use on this site seeing as the USAnians are all a tad bit sensitive here

and what's Yurope?

Plan A Visit To The Alamo In San Antonio Texas

 

[Reba]

If I was caught short then I would take a quick pee. Hell I would even dump on the Alamo if the need was that bad. US Patriotism is not that important in the grand scheme of things and I have lived in buildings older than the Alamo. It is nothing special.

I'm a 62-year-old female who drinks lots of water and has a small bladder. I have to make frequent potty stops. I use common sense and scope out where the facilities are and use them before I enter a venue where the bathroom break might not be available. As a grown man I would hope that you would have enough sense to do the same.

 

[Reba]

...carry ur own porta-potty....or just suck it up.

When our family was caught in a mass evacuation with no facilities for at least 12 hours we made use of the Big Gulp plastic cups--convenient enough for women.

Even if relieving yourself in the wilderness, there are common sense, common courtesy rules. You get off the trail, and you bury whatever you do, as much as possible.

You don't relieve yourself on the side of your tent and leave it there, do you? Well?

 

[Reba]

Reba and what if I had been out partying with Texan buddies all night before visiting the Alamo? I heard that San Antonio is a party town.

San Antonio has no bathrooms?

I might have 10 pints in my bladder and suffering from a hangover. I would just take a leak. I do not much care for etiquette when in the US. I always walk when the signs tell me not to.

It's obvious that you have no consideration for other people. It's not a matter of obeying signs; it's a matter of being considerate of other people and their property. You have no respect for others, so I have no expectations of thoughtfulness from you.

If you want to behave like a dog lifting his leg wherever and whenever there's nothing I can say to you.

 

[Reba]

America has changed. It is a nation of prudes. Women cannot even go topless on beaches or breastfeed in public. They are all ashamed of nudity

Where have you been? Women can breastfeed in public in America.

You confuse modesty with prudishness. It's a matter of the right time and place for every activity.

 

[rockin'robin]

So a woman can get her breasts out in a crowded restaurant in the USA and the other customers would not complain? In France it is acceptable in all environments. Nudity on the beach is also permitted

Most women who do breastfeed...have a small blankie or something to cover...it's called modesty....As for those women who just whip out their breasts and feed...say what?...Just read a story about this woman who was in court...began to breastfeed her baby....and was asked to leave the courtroom because people complained....she admitted she didn't have anything to "cover up"....so she's taking it to Court....

We do have nudie beaches and camps...matter of fact, women who do wear thongs at the Beach are almost nude anyway.

Well said Beowulf. Illegal land grab. Mexico should appeal to the UN to restore the lands stolen by the USAnian thugs.

No, Texas became independent country after revolution and Texans decided to annex with US after Mexican–American War.

 

[Foxrac]

After the Mexican American war...... Illegal land grab. All those territories including Texas need to be returned to Mexico. The Spanish too should seek compensation for the territories y'all stole. At least us Euros gave up our colonial possessions.

How amazing are you and those statement made yourself looks idiot.

It was Texan citizens revolt against Mexican government and broke away from Mexico, then Mexico invaded Texas but US stepped in and invaded Mexico, defeated Mexico. After war was over, Texan citizens voted to annex their country with US. US paid a lot of money to Mexico to secure the northern territory via treaty (Mexican Cession).

Don't forgot about Russia sold Alaska to US so US secured Alaska as territory.

You are very ignorant about history. :roll:

 

[Foxrac]

Remi only recognized US as part of under England's rule.

British America (US and Canada)

Currency is pound sterling.

Alabama and Mississippi are part of Province of Georgia (AL, MS and GA into single territory), also southern part Mississippi and Alabama are part of West Florida.

Province of South Carolina. Oh yes. :roll:

We pay tax to king of England.

 

[Foxrac]

So that all makes it okay? White northern Europeans move in and settle the land and then demand independence and the US steps in to assist. Illegal land grab! Next you will be telling me that Ulster belongs in the Union and that the West Bank is an integral part of Israel. USAanians have no shame it seems. The Alamo should be bulldozed. It is a monument to USAnian colonial greed and subjugation of the land rights of existing inhabitants of the land.

Next we should move on to all those native Americans who were displaced by USAnian greed. The British were far fairer with the rightful inhabitants of North America. The USA just robbed them blind

No surprise about you are crybaby about painful history lesson.

It doesn't change anything, so we should let Europe falls into Nazi's hand or Stalin's hand, so your European culture will be destroyed and you will not survive because they kill all of your family.

you go, Foxrac!....Give him a History lesson he won't forget....

 

[Foxrac]

Europe has always fallen to different Empires and political movements, Celtic invaders, Romans, Moors, Huns, Turks, French and Nazis. We always bounce back and our culture lives on. You USAnians will still be on about how you saved European culture 1000 years from now whilst failing to realise that nothing can erase out identity. The French culture is strong despite complete capitulation to the Nazis. Only in the USA could you possibly conquer a country and erase its identity tomorrow.

In bold, that's not true if Nazi successfully takeover of France without our help and France couldn't survive without our help, so France's culture/history will be destroyed.

No, we aren't interest to takeover of European countries, unless citizens want to be part of our union, but extremely unlikely.

Come on, you are really ignorant about history, so you should research instead of make botched argument.

 

[Foxrac]

you go, Foxrac!....Give him a History lesson he won't forget....

 

[Foxrac]

But France did survive. It was never the Nazi aim to erase France. They tried to erase Poland and Russia and failed. Even the Poles are now back despite Nazi destruction of their country and then Soviet occupation. So thank you USA but you are not quite the saviour you would like to believe you are. The real fighting in WW1 was done by the Brits and the French and then in WWII it was the Soviet Union and Britain who had effectively beaten the Nazis by the time US troops stepped foot in North Africa. Where were the USAnians at Stalingrad or El Alamein?

No, your statement doesn't support history and we saved France before fell into Nazi's hand, but without our help, France will be in Nazi's hand. If USSR defeat Nazi without our help so France could be part of Soviet-style communist country - puppet of USSR. Neither Nazi or Soviet are good for France.

It is very obviously that you are state of denial and European countries already enjoy from a lot of benefits by US and Americans, so we helped to pull Europe out of conflict and restore the tradition and culture.

I'm sure that Liebling (she's German) agrees with me.
