Is it just the people in the US? If yes, then that isn't fair, cuz there are a lot of Taco Bell restaurants in Canada as well, that's one of the biggest national prejudices in the world. Everything you see is just in the US, that sucks quite frankly, and it is just SO not fair.

j/k I don't care about any of that I just want my ****ing taco

Well, go and buy one, then. You were bragging about the superiority of your wealth in an earlier thread, so use it.

I am SO dissapointed in the lot of you. It may have not meant nothing to you Mir but to me and the Mir team, it meant everything.

Thanks to you, the next words we hear from the moon may well be in Chinese.

Don't let us become the next Portugal. Let's blaze a trail right to the stars. And anyone who say's "It can't be done." will have to answer to ME.

Certainly, it was an emotional moment for many people who were involved closely with the station... as one of them said: "imagine building up your own house... then, years later, be forced to take it down again."

And I can't believe my VCR just *had* to brake down today, so I can't rewatch the live footage!

My hat is over my heart, farewell Mir!! (I guess "farewell" maybe isn't the right phrase for something that crashing into the ocean, but you guy's gt the idea.
