In sympathy and solidarity with my long-time friend Imperator X who has been permanently and IMO unjustly banned for answering honestly a question in one of the polls, and in protest of the Staff's...

Let us also not forget that Hitler was an artist, a mediocre one, yet, not a wholly unsuccessful one. He supported himself for ten years by selling his paintings to tourists.

Europhobia isn't anything new nor is it exclusively Republican. Amrica has always distrtusted Europe. "If Europe is so great, why do Europeans keep emigrating to the US ?" was the attitude in my...

I could introduce you to plenty of Norwegian-American immigrants who would not tolerate being called Germanic because, having lived through at least part of the German occupation of Norway in World...

Why all this hoop-la about a convicted arsonist and murderer ?

Appenzeller is an unusual cheese and hard to obtain in the US., It is a Swiss cheese, probably a Gruyére, which has been aged in apple cider.

Well, surely they must be more welcome than demanding overbearing Muslims !

I'd answer that with a definite and emphatic "Maybe". It CAN be a source of great friction and stress. If both parties and their prospective in-laws discuss the matter in depth beforehand and come to...

At my age, they have so much mileage on them that I doubt that anyone would want them.

Awwwwwwwww :~( Must you go ? Well, anyhow, wherever you go and whatever you do, here's wishing the best of everything to you.

IMO, only during a war, when information of strategic importance might be divulged.

Norwegians are too self-effacing to allow themselves to be supreme or to acknowledge the fact if they were.

I would reform the inconsistent and illogical spelling of the English language. The script we use is phonetic; why, then, is not our orthography phonetic also ? I suppose that everyone knows G.B....

I'd like some clarification of what qualifies a song to be a folk song. I have always assumed that real folk songs have lyrics by Anonymous and melodies by Traditional. That narrows the field...

Sorry. I looked to see if I had posted in this thread before, but, somehow, I missed it., Anyhow, the fact that my second post is so very similar to the first shows that I am consistent.

I am a Leo (August 10, 1930, the Year of the Horse) I have most of the Leo personality traits very strongly developed. On the other hand, I have never found any of my horoscopes to bear any...

If this should come to pass, expect record snowfalls next winter. An open water surface in the Arctic Ocean would provide a source of water vapour for heavy precipitation in the high northern...

@ Arundel -- This may come as a shock to you, but Indians ARE English-speaking people. English is one of the two official languages of India. The other is Hindi. Your doctor probably studied English...

Why not ? If you've got it, flaunt it ! ;)

That would prove indisputably that you never loved that son or daughter.

I wonder how happy those anti-contraceptive Africans are with the AIDS epidemic which bids fair to exterminate them. The Roman Catholic church has always supported irresponsible reproduction,...

NO ! Every ethnic group has its heroes and its cowards. Circumstances, far more than ethnicity, dictate which a man will be. Religious beliefs are significant also. The Beatitudes glorify meekness,...

I never expected to have the last word on this subject.

In a hologram, the entire image exists in any part of it. Does not, then, the holographic model of our world imply that any part of it, e.g. our galaxy, contain the image of the entire cosmos ? Does...

Yes, but never in anger and always after a clear explanation of my transgression. I always knew that I had brought it on myself and usually admitted it. I think that it taught me to respect the law....
