I guess sarcasm doesn't penetrate tin foil...
Is a grammar school normal? I doubt it. It doesn't matter because in any high school school in NYC - esp a grammar school equivalent - they would rightly laugh at your list of 'diversity'. You would find people from every country in Europe, Asia, Oceania, and South America. You would find Samoans, Chileans, Swiss, Russians, HK Chinese, Japanese, Nepalese, Singhalese, Georgians, Lithuaniuans, Australians, Fijians, Hawaians and everyone else including those from other states in the US. Even Canadians.And they would not all be US Nationals born in the US. They would often be foreign born emigres living with their foreign born parents in the US.

It's semantics. You want to rely on the word 'republic'? Join this distinguished list:
DPRK
PRC
Republic of Congo
Slovak Republic
etc etc
Not so great is it?
The UK, for example, is not a republic, but it's a lot worse than the US. They jail people there for slander, which is laughable.

I think you're wrong there, They get attacked by the state for walking home with their hands in their pockets after asking for the right way home. Google 'Ian Tomlinson'. The official story from the 'Met' was that "protesters
attacked them while police fought to save him." The real story was that one of their 'professionals' attacked him from behind with a baton and shoved him to the ground, causing his death.
His crime? Walking in London with his hands in his pockets.
Here's what the po-po stated to the press: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/19/Evening_Standard_headline_about_Ian_Tomlinson%2C_A pril_2_2009.JPG

I dont know about what type of offense they are Im just a simple man but I know in England they still jail people for slander - but let people who attack others and other people's property free - which seems so medieval to me. However, Thailand, Congo and Indonesia all do it too, so don't worry - your great democracy in England can join a pantheon of great countries there.![]()
