Most Americans don't believe in Darwin. You should be fine.

The funniest thing I've heard regarding Darwin, and that I've heard repeated ad nauseum by creationists and religious crazies, is that evolution is wrong because Darwin recanted on his death bed.

To be fair, I hear the Lord of the Rings tour is pretty cool.

You can have him, seriously.

Wow. I'll never say bad things about Boeing again. I didn't realise the VC-25 (Air Force One) was capable of Inter-planar as was as Inter-continental flight. Visiting Darwin in the Afterlife has got to be some serious air-miles.

Yes! Overthrow your current colonial* leadership in favour of freedom, the American way, and Fox News!

I have no strong opinions about Barack Obama or Darwin. Which is a relief because I was starting to think I was strongly opinionated about everything... No, wait. He isn't scouting for a new place to transfer our illegal detainment facility, is he? Because that, I have an opinion on*.

*Quel soprise!

Does redeploying US millitary assets to Darwin count?

There aren't any there already, after 1942*? Or are you saying that.

*This is from like the first sentence of a Wikipedia entry that I read several hours ago, so I'm probably wrong.

[Crimson Jester]

and with the new changes the prejudice and bigotry is now hidden forever to be forgotten about.

[Lincoln Hills]

No, redeploying US military assets never counts. I'm relatively certain that US military assets have been redeployed everywhere that there's a solid surface to support them, even Antarctica, Ganymede, the Marianas Trench, and the New Jersey landfills.

Total embarrassment. A day out from a 'Presidential' Visit and we are being told where we can and cant go in Darwin...I mean really? There are a thousand balconies across the city that look south -not just overlooking the memorial where he will do a wreath laying - but in a southerly direction - and would serve as a high altitude launch site for any 'pudd' with a Mortar and descent targeting skills and they think they have something resembling security.

My arse they do.

I don't give a damn if this guy took out Crocodile Insurance. Any halfway descent Terrorist would smoke his testicles over an open fire.

He'll be lucky if he isn't ripped apart by half-fiend dingoes and rabid wallabies. Oz = the Abyss, but more so.

I scraped the abyss off my shoe the other day...

[Mothman]

I’m confused ‘dingo, why would any halfway decent terrorist smoke his own testicles over an open fire?

Well, I guess once you’d done that, blowing yourself up would be a piece of cake ...

Well, YD, we Americans suck at any sort of genuine security system. Ask any drug kingpin, illegal immigrant or crazed terror cell you're on speaking terms with and they'll tell you so. I think it's because there was a time when we were actually liked by other countries due to a favor we'd done them some time back*, and although we rode that gratitude train right into the ground decades ago, we still subconsciously assume that nobody would really fire a mortar round at our President.**

* Some kind of anti-Nazi thing, I think. Ended with a "two", so it was probably a sequel of something else.

** More specifically, nobody in other countries would do so. We no longer delude ourselves about the murderous potential of our domestic political opponents.

Or they can have you. Seriously.
