Posted by axxxr
Don't you worry,i will be making my anti-bush statement when im there and i'll make sure people notice...
I know that most of florida is anti-bush,so the reaction should'nt be that bad...i hope!

@axxxr - While in the US might as well have a scheduled meet with your mentor - Michael Moore

Yeh michael moore..would love to meet him,he's the grandaddy of all bush haters!!...i just hope hes in florida!..i'll ask him to make
"esato against bush 9/11"
I thought the whole of Africa was a theme park. ..i mean game park,nature reserve?
Posted by *Jojo*
Yeah . . . with all those 'live-animal-rides' for FREE . . . bet it will be your FIRST and LAST while you are there
How about members from South America any Parks at your end mates
Posted by GreenKronic
@Axxxr you could visit the state capitol have a sit down with Jeb Bush and tell him how you feel
...Lol.. just kidding....If your in Tampa.Check out Ybor city and Clearwater beach..Ybor is like a toned down New orleans with all the bars down the street...If in Orlando Church Street isn't to bad.......
PS:Dont know if ECS is trying to get you beat up but wouldn't be very good of an idea to make a statement when 1.For the most part alot of people will know your foreign...... 2..You never know who you will run into while making your statement 3.Why bring added attention to yourself.......
But this is a free country and you can wear or say what you want but it is a little diffirent being in another country and making yourself heard and being on a forum and making yourself heard...Just a little heads up.....Hope you have a great trip and like your stay here in the Wonderful US of A
Posted by axxxr
GreenKronic..I ain't going anywhere near washington,otherwise i'll be protesting outside the whitehouse and just pellting eggs at bush!..This holiday is for pleasure not politics,i'll leave that one for another time.
You know im not afraid to make a political statement even if i will be a foreigner,the U.S was based on freedom of speech and espression right?...so whats the harm?..Im sure i will find many fellow brits there to back me up if anything does go horribly wrong,which i hope it don't?
Thanks for the tips though,i really appreciate your imput!
Posted by EastCoastStar
@axxxr, church street is alright... but its gone downhill, they are workin on it to get it better. they have club paris, but i have never been there. i can take you to cowboys!! you can do some line dancing to country music!! hahaha Ybor is pretty cool too (pronounced E-bore)
jeb bush (george bush's brother) is the govenor of our state if you didnt know. but again, alot of people dont like him
Posted by axxxr
line dancing..you gotta be joking ain't ya?
..I'll give that one a miss then thanks! might try Ybor then.
Oh yes of course jeb bush,how could i forget that he is the gov of florida,silly old me..might have to pay him a little visit then.
Its not surprising that no ones likes him.
I so want to avoid politics when i come over there but its just to tempting!...
Im gonna try and concentrate on having fun...TRY!!
