You know the world's changing...

[Jer1400]

You know the world' changing when the best rapper is white, the best golfer is black, and Germany doesn't wnat to go to war. lol

[Beldaran]

The full version is:

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is white, the best golfer is black, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and France is accusing Americans of being arrogant.

:D

Either way, it's a damn funny joke.

Hey, golf isnt just a white boy wearing plaid shirts sport.

I just got back from 9 holes about 5 minutes ago. And I was wearing big baggy blue jeans and a black shirt.

I heard that on the radio somewhere. It is a funny thought.

Samson, each of those goes against the standard stereotype in its area, or is ironic in another sense.

[carrot red]

I heard that too and found it very funny. What I found really ironic was the France accusing us of being arrogant thing. Yes, the world is changing indeed and for the better?:D

Bush is and has been changing America for the better. America is sort of what other countries look to as the ideal country and society, so yeah, I do think we are changing for the better. I hope Bush gets elected for a second term.

[Jer1400]

I wouldn't doubt that at all.

[satanman]

America and france are equally arrogant.
People don't look up to america as an ideal. See above line.
Dictators always, ALWAYS have the most ridiculous moustache in the known universe.

I remember something from last year from 'Have I Got News For You':
'how much things have changed in the last decade: the US president is George Bush, there's trouble in the middle east, and
kylie minogue has released another annoying single'

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But 'Locomotion' by Kylie Minogue was in the late 70s I believe....still funny though.....

So taking the thread and Flyer's quote of Satanman together, and the conclusion is that "times have changed, but they haven't changed!" :laughing:

And Americans do have a little bit of a tendency to be arrogant, and insomuch as we do get arrogant we are wrong for it.

What I cannot understand, however, is how a nation such as France, with very little in recent history or national strength to commend it, can be as arrogant if not more so.

They are still living in the past in the time on the colonies and Chirac is the disciple of DeGaulle.
They tried to reconquer their past glory with the creation of the new Euro zone alliance thing , but Blair fouled their plan.

I just found out who made that quote:
