Ouch.

Oh, when I was at Oxford as an exchange student we all used to make fun of the pasty-skinned concave-chested brit boys too. but every girl i know who got a brit boy got a marvellous prize so i don't know about this doltish 15-year old's opinion. she should have kept her mouth shut till dad was out of office. Maybe the brit boys will get equal time to reply about yank girls?

Sounds like this Ambassadors daughter is a mental giant, it only took 3 years of experimentation.......

Wonder what she looks like.

The Ambassador's next assignment will be -- Antarctica.

She started her "experiment" at 12??

And by the ripe old age of 15, she has it all figured out. What does she have to compare it to?

well, put THAT lady at the negotiations table! :P

It's funny that the author of this article gets so snitty about what a 15 year old girl has to say.

Where's jj?

British boys suck? Well, truth be told, I have heard some pretty scary stories about those public school types they have over there...

LOL

The kid probably got fed up with the moronic American-bashing and hit back.

Her father okayed this article? So much for diplomacy.

Andy Jackson and his Soldiers made British rear ends suck air in the War of 1812! Even Sam Houston had a hand in that melee.

I understand Willie has offered Mary-Catherine a job as Oval Office Attendant.

Her Daddy, a lifelong Democrat, is reported to be "so proud."

Surely no reasonable person would deny that this State Department is in shambles. Madeline Albright shouldn't be allowed on the premises much less near the office that's been held by the likes of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Foster Dulles, Henry Kissinger, George Schultz and James Baker. She's a disgrace and an embarrassment to the country.

Excellent article! And the author is quite right about my accent.

The American boys all say she sucks!

You all suck !!!

Our president will meet this sweet thing at the Airport with a sign, "I feel your pain".

JJ, you might want to find out who appointed this ambassador!... If a clinton/gore appointee, the bigotry is normal; if not a clinton/gore appointee, the remarks are outrageous and indefensible.

After that remark, it is evident this kid will never grow up to be an Ambassador like Dad.

This article is probably just another joke post by TheSatyr.com

Jax, the old boy who posted this hilarious story is probably just another joke!

This is directly from the web site of the mighty Beeb.

Quidnunc, that is rather unlike you - to find anything mighty about a foreign country. You are learning...at last.

Who says you can't teach an old bigot new tricks?

Landshark:
Regarding your reply #9, from what I've heard, its the "sucking" that takes place in the private English boys schools that should really concern you.

Boner, are you saying you were educated in the UK?

Ah yes, the "mighty" Beeb that sees fit to Brit-snit up a storm about an article written by a 15-year-old girl.

The girl knows what she is talking about. There is a great vacuum in the British Isles!
Eh! JJ

Ja, Blitzen. Quidnunc would claim the vacuum is somewhere between my ears. How are you, by the way?

Very well, JJ, and I hope you are doing well also. No hangovers from all that Old Bushmills Irish whiskey?

What a hussy!!!!! and at 15?

jj:
So, yer fond of the Bushmill's, eh? Well, last night I got turned on to a truly abysmal drink, consumed by an (overweight) bartender friend of mine, non-stop, whilst working. shot and a half of Bailey's Irish Creme, shot of Bushmill's, and coffee. Ouch. If she'd move over to straight Bushmills or better yet black coffee, she might just recover her girlish figure.

Sounds delicious, JJ.

Sorry to break off their chaps. I was working out a plan for world domination. Anyone interested can email me.

Well, it looks like this classless girl is proof that that Clinton's legacy will continue with her ilk. How about keeping your yap shut, while your a guest in another country.

I would agree with you, Hamlet. But then people would say I should practise what I preach. And no Yank's gonna switch me off!!!

They just don't make 'em like they used to. In England or over here.

sounds like a girl that knows what she is talking about...noticed some one on the thread called her a bigot for pointing out the faults of brits ...confused ?..why is that a bigot?...if she is wrong ..then she is wrong...but a bigot??my..my..my..

to me the total british culture looks as though the whole damn Island is populated with boys from the Esquire and Vanity Fair clothing ads

I didn't know Brittany Spears had such distinguished family!

my evil twin brother will have two of the weedy, pasty ones please.

"I was working out a plan for world domination"

have you ever met these two, maybe they can use a third plotter....

Hiya Sunny. Haven't seen you for a while.

Sunny, I love those two! Click above your post to fool for the Old Trap Door trick yet again.

hey peabody, I think you SAW me

you must've had a problem like this guy!

g'day

Sunny,

E-mail me please.

This is what happens when your guns get confiscated.

mr peabody
just ask the Brit, I am just wary now,
had been so upset...
am still disappointed
and was absolutely clueless so
thats why I kept posting to you and was wondering what was wrong....

I couldn't have guessed any of it in my wildest imagination, so it took 10-20 emails to finally explain it to me! duh!

about the ambassador's daughter, she sounds like she has a REAL future in POLITICS!

Sunny, you have always been clueless! But you are loved by one British poster. Peabers you are too...kinda.

The stills from cartoons that were posted here are copyrighted. We have asked you not to post anything that is copyrighted in your replies. This can get us sued for copyright violation.

Replies which violate this rule will be removed.

Repeat violators will lose their posting privleges.

This site seems to be very paranoid (not just the posters) and highly regulated.

When I last visited the site (10 or so months ago with a different handle that I have forgotten) there was none of this stuff going on.... or maybe I forgot that too!

Maybe I'm remembering another site that offers free and unfettered debate on issues political and topical.

If I have come to the wrong site could someone suggest what its URL might be.

It was a conservative news based forum run by a syndicated columnist, any ideas?

Staff, you will not listen but this is the law as it stands...

The fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction or by any other means, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include-

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

A former poster (note the use of the word former) informed you of this yesterday and you merely closed the thread.

If you bother to reply to this please switch the bold off. It does not give you more authority.

Thread closed?

Isn't it a whole lot easier just to go along with the program?

In the final analysis you're never going to win an argument with the person who has control of the banning button.

evil twin brother, shouldn't you be hanging out in the cemetary at this time of night?

J,

You don't know who I am but I know you through a fellow hack and I agree totally!

The conventions are rather established in copyright law and there is next to zero chance of this changing in the future.

Without the law as it stands the world would be reduced to one without news, criticism or debate i.e. totalitarianism

I am in shock that Luci is ignorant of the strength of the copyright law and the fact that it has been thoroughly tested.

In response to the post stating that Luci would win a case but she could be bankrupted in the process is equally ignorant. Any judge would immediately award costs to Luci.

I hope that this web site improves in the future. I will check back in a few months to see if it has recovered from this temporary lapse.

By the way I studied Journalism at a respected school and was well versed in Media Law and Regulation, as I'm sure the ephemeral JJ is.

GoodBye and Goodluck

You insist on a detailed reply? Okay, lets look at what the law says:

In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include-

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

Look at the top of the page. Do you see those advertisements? Lucianne.com is not a nonprofit site. We are a commercial site.

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

We have told you that the Fair Use Doctrine permits you to quote a sentence or two from a news article or a web site if you credit the author and provide a link to the site you are quoting from.

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

We have warned you that posting copyrighted information can get us sued for copyright violation and we have given you this link so that you can see that we are not just being paranoid about this.

We have warned you that replies which violate copyright law will be removed. And we have warned you that repeat violators will be banned.

If you refuse to accept our reasonable explanations, and insist on fighting with us about this simple request to obey the law, you will leave us with no choice but to revoke your posting privleges.

Brit snit to Brit sulk to Brit whinge to Brit rage to Brit funk.

Darned near the whole gamut has been run here tonight on L.com

Lay off the booze quidnunc.

Verily,
I have been emailed by an infidel!

he says

"My posting privileges appear to have been removed for daring to disagree with
your inaccurate assessment of copyright law.

I would not mind but an evil poster called Quidnunc has been allowed the last
word. Is he a relative???

I feel genuinely sad that so many decent people no longer wish to be
associated with your site. For you to describe Pinfold's thread as "mindless"
was mindless in itself. He is easily the most intelligent person you or I
have ever nearly come across.

All I can say, My Dear, is read all about it!

PS - I have always suspected it was you who posted that remark about Le Carre
being Australian. Can you prove otherwise?"

Mufti says,

Verily,
you expect too much freedom and yes there is such thing as too much. There should be a limit on freedoms! (like in Afghanistan!)

I have been asked to post the following:
