I'll hold you to that, in the unlikely event. Should be a good time.

Guinness all around. Circuses and bread, eh, and Guinness is basically bread in a glass. I will buy the first round.
As to this bit
Quote:US international criminals never seem to get their comeuppanceI thought that kid in Singapore DID get caned! :P
As to international law, treaties, and rules: sad but true, only as good as their enforcement. Please pardon my cough of scorn, given the current assault on my nation's lawful borders (which the Pope, among others, thinks is OK) and the blatant disregard of various water treaties agreed . . . but I've gone down this path before, so I better stop now. You've seen my position on that before, and doubtless each nation has an axe to grind on a variety of loopholes, treaties, et cetera.
My position on Guinness is more positive. :D
