6. We could make you an honorary American, if you'd like...
Just need to look up the word "honor" first (it'll only take a sec...)

4. Is this the video where a few British soldiers pull a few Iraqi teens
...out of a demonstration and wallop them with clubs, while a voice over (the videocamera operator) responds with gleeful utterances?

Or is this another one?

(I don't have adult access)

7. Yeah, saw that one...
Couldn't tell which was more sickening...the actual assault or the "narration."

8. The "choir"
Edited on Wed Oct-11-06 09:31 PM by slaveplanet
This isn't the kick boxing one is it?

The Brits would place the bound Iraqis in stress positions, then when they inevitably moved, then the "choir" would begin. The soldiers would practice their kicks by listening the different screams and groans they could get the Iraqis to make when the blows struck. One Iraqi that died from his wounds had over 100 different contusions.

I heard an English commentator describe how English culture is basically made up of a bunch of bullies. Being subjects to the crown,
The upper class gets bullied by the elites, the middle class gets bullied by the upper classes, the poor are bullied by the middle class, and the poor bully each other. Bully's are ingrained into British society, it's the way things are done, and they take that attitude with them everywhere they go.
