Having trouble finding the story in Mainstream media at the moment.

This gives the gist and shows one side of the two sides on this one

And I'm sorry for not being clear. Its Bow as in "to bow down" not Bow as in Bow tie.

Don't you guys have anything better to do than critique a F'in bow? You never do a full bow to a female in almost any culture.

You missing the "non-issue" option.

I for one am shocked that Arab nations have different customs than Anglo-Saxon ones. Who'd have thunk?

Next thing you know, the French will demand some weird custom like kissing on the cheek.

Talkin' their stupid language and everything....

http://www.kithfan.org/work/transcripts/two/english.html

I speak English. Believe or not, there's a lot of people out there who don't. I find that sad. Why . . . why don't they speak English? Is it `cause they find it too difficult? That's ridiculous -- it's easy. I spoke it my whole life and I never had any problems. Is it because they don't like it? That's ludicrous. It's a great language. Whyyyy . . . Shakespeare's in English . . . barely. Maybe they don't speak it `cause it's not their first language. So? I mean, where were their parents? Why, why did they teach `em a language that nobody speaks?
And, and it's not like they speak just one other language -- no, no, there's tons of `em like Spanish, or German, or check this one out: Hindi. In France, everyone speaks French `cause they think it's cool. Gives `em, gives `em an excuse to smoke.

I was in this country, I don't want to say its name cause I don't want to be called racist, so let me just call `em . . . "they." Anyways, my theory is they don't even understand each other, they just run around jabberin' away in gibberish pretendin' to understand each other just to make you feel like a jerk! You know? This happened to me. I'm in this little store in Holland and I asked the guy behind the counter for razor blades. He looks at me real funny like I'm a fag or somethin' and says, "Donna speakah eenglaize" in this really weird accent. I . . . I don't know what to do, I mean, what's wrong with this clown? So, so, I repeat it real slowly like I would to a dog and then he says it again, "Donna speakah eenglaize." So I don't know what to do, so I reach over the counter, grab the blades and walk out. Uh, what would you do? The guy overreacts, you know, Europeans. Runs after me yelling at me in some weird accent, Hollandaise, I guess, and an old woman in wooden shoes comes clompin' up to see what the problem is. So I tell her to go back to dipping candles or whatever it is they do. She pretends not to understand me. So I hit her. She overreacts. Dies. You know, Europeans.

Voice over: Lights out, _____.

Scott: What did he say? Why doesn't he speak English? See what I'm tellin' ya?

^^^ link fail.
Yeah sorry, it was late I was tired blah blah. I actually though the news had already broken in the US and everyone would know what I meant but I guess the time difference stuffed me around.

and are you serious?? I mean, I know it's nothing classy like Bush's actions, but are you really searching that hard for something to be indignant about??
Well I was fairly serious. I was interested to see the RM vibe on this one. I'm actually wondering why you thought I wasn't pro what Obama did? Poll has both sides of the argument and I didn't say I agreed with the link, it was just so clarify what the thread was about.

I think its fantastic that he can show respect for a foreign leader. I would like to think there would be an outrage here at home if our politicians didn't show respect to another world leader.

Bush's previous behaviour as has been pointed out is one of the few things I'll give him credit for although I can't help but wonder deep down whether it was going past respect to the a$$ licking stage.

Under the idiot rule of Bush, the world is our friend or our foe.

Under the more enlightened control of Obama, we can civil, even friendly relations. The question still remains is what kind of backbone will Obama have (see North Korea).

Actually it was an Ipod with a collection of speeches Queen Elizabeth has made on all her trips to the US since 1957. Pretty thoughtful gift I thought

Of all the craftsmen in America you would think he would be able to have something custom handmade that can not be replicated. But no he buys something you can buy at almost any store in America, not to mention she already had one. Its pretty tasteless in my opinion.

That's funny. I think your opinion is pretty worthless.

I guess American ingenuity and technology is tasteless too.

But if was something handmade that cannot be replicated, I would have given her a Pontiac Aztek. That will never be replicated again.

P.S. It was show tunes: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jYUcmwGRA3ma_hwjWQq7EagwYiTwD979UI2G1

Pain, you understand the assertion that Obama lacks the ability to govern adequately because he gave someone a small lump of metal and plastic made in china is retarded right?

I mean, you could at least attack his policies like an intelligent person and not trivial things such as this.
