Florida has a law prohibiting the transporting of livestock on school buses. If you live in Franklin, Kentucky, you can't legally trade horses after dark.

America is an odd place you know how the saying goes....."made up of the sweapings of Europe" or is it made up of the people who didnt like being persecuted for their religion or station in life or perhaps the ones who were sick and tired of living in rat filled, over crowded, disease ridden, flea infested cities? really... check your history again.. who ever came up with that quote was either pissed because he couldnt afford to get on a boat, or he was some rich chump with a stick up his ass who never had to work a day in his life anyway.... besides.. at least we can still hunt with or without dogs and still have plenty of room to do it legally i wont say its the best to live at present, but there arent too many places left in the world that ARE fit to live... Who'd a fish?? Only in America. Mind you there is this website right i dont know.. why are there so many jokes about the Scottish, Irish, and Welsh screwing sheep in the pastures? besides... if you read it on the internet then that means its true right?? seriously now....

Excuse me, but "History" what, you mean thelast 200 years?Christ, my family have owned the same estate for nearly as long as your country has been "civilised"...... I have no isue with The US of A, just the mindless attitude of some of its citizens, for the most part they all all good guys but like anywhere in the world there are heads, it just happens that America being the size it is has more than most and they like to be heard. Christ knows, we have more than our fair share of ers in Government! In fact if anyone can think or a country deficient in ; I'm happy to fund an expedition to crate up and take the ones we have in Downing Street and re release them to do their thing there. I was thinking of Mars? Or maybe thats too close? Then we can have a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
