Where'd you pull that number from. No wonder you're so concerned if
your government has you believing that kind of stuff. Apart from 9/11,
how many US nationals have actually been killed in Al Qaeda attacks
exactly?

Uwe, I'm suprised. Of course America has good poets. One of my
favorites is Dusty Hill or Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top...(I never know who
wrote what...) However, this couplet proves beyond all doubt that America
is rich with poets....

Oh, I want her.
****, I've got to have her.

aaahhhh doesn't that just satisfy the soul?

We lost nearly 3000 on 9/11/01. I think that backs up my statement.

Dave, you're right. Heart-wrenching, emotional stuff. How I could
possible have missed ZZ Top is beyond me. "She got legs / she knows
how to use'em" is another classic. ;^)

Not really, all you need are religions that don't turn spreading
themselves to the "heathens" and "infidels" into a holy duty of the
believer. That's why the major world religions are so
"successful". (much like a virus is to be considered successful, until
it finally kills its host organism).

Forcing our cultural vision onto others is a major asset of our global
taker culture, be you muslim or be you christian or whatever, at the
root there's the common belief that we know the way man is supposed to
live.

Cheers,

uwe

Not really. You've had 1 major tragedy, albeit a very, very sad day
indeed, but, as the saying goes, 'One swallow doesn't make a summer'.
That happened over 3 years ago and yet you use the rhetoric that
americans are 'continually' being killed in their 'thousands'.
Exaggeration indeed. As another saying goes, 'Why let the truth get in
the way of a good argument?'

Excuse me. We lost nearly 3000 souls on 9/11.....on American soil. I
don't give a rats ass where they called home or what nationality they
were.

I suppose that's about as likely as my faithless world

As it happens, I *do* know the way man is supposed to live, so
there!!!

Wanna know?

"Be excellent to each other"



Of all people, *George Clooney* (!!) summarised my feelings
brilliantly.
"I don't believe in happy endings - either you die young or you live
to see those you love die. I believe in happy travels..."

A tad nihilistic, perhaps, but as good a code as any
