It's the rightwing fundamentalists in the USA who have brought the economic/foreign policies disasters of the past 8 years. America will become stronger under Obama. As a European, I do not welcome America becoming more powerful. But I recognise that Obama will make America stronger

I expect this is a delicacy.

I have to say mine is Munchen (Munich), Germany

Yes. President Obama inherited a basketcase economy, a shambolic failure in foreign policy, three unwinnable wars - from his predecessor. I think this President will be good for the USA and for the world. He has earned the respect of us here in Europe.

Correct. But these facts (and many other facts about the Allies) are glossed over by the Hollywood/BoB/Spielberg propoganda machine. Don't you know that the only bad guys were the ****'s?????????? Tom Hanks wouldn't lie, don't you know.

For the record, I had relatives who fought on both sides of the war in Europe. My granduncle served with the Wehrmacht. And my ******* ******* fought for the Brits.

Indeed June 6th 1944 was a significant day. However, history is written by the victors. Suggest that several of you here read Antony Beevors new book about D-Day : it was only published last week. It might help alter your sepia, rosetinted view of the Allies.

No, you're not a freak. The accepted view is that you should only work at a moderate rate to burn fat in order to get fit. That means, taking 220 subtract your age = 180BPM x 75% = 126BPM. However, this is only a generic rule - applied across the general population. I too had the same issue...

In my younger days, I used to cycle competitively, at national level. Which entailed having to watch my weight constantly. Racing weight was between 156lbs and 162lbs. (I'm 6'2"). Gave up racing gained 30lbs - almost hit 200lbs. Took the decision to lose some weight : started running/physical...

I would never purchase product - any product - from NIKE. I will not support any company that used sweatshops.

Agreed. US dependancy on oil is certainly an issue - hence invasion of Iraq. With respect to Obama, I agree by our (European) standards, he is at best centrist.

The goverment didn't make GM bankrupt. GM was the maker of it's own destiny. Poor product and abysmal financial management. It's funny reading all this talk about communism. Fact is that the capitalist system has, for better or more probably worse, brought the US to the situation it is now in.

Fair point, especially the statement about prostitution. If women had the same sex drive as men - there would be a demand for male prostitution. I think tubuler's made some good points on this thread.

Agreed. Obama doesn't need to waste his time even acknowledging Cheney. Cheney and his ilk were, and are, cretins. However, the people who elected Cheney and his ilk, are the real problem.

The US motor companies have all performed absymally both financially and in terms of their engineering/product quality. For years, companies like Ford/GM operated in a virtual cartel in the US market. This cartel was rudely interrupted first by the Japanese and then the European manufacturers -...

This is one for the females here. I do some contract work for a media company. The company has a sales, design and editorial departments. The majority of the company employees (75%) are female. Anyhow, two months ago, a new sales rep started with the company. He's in his early 30's...

Incorrect! This is the opening message on this thread hey! is there any information about which pornstars do have ********? what do you think about that? would you have ******** if you would work in the business? and how would you deal with it if you'd have found out that your parents work in...

There has always been a certain amount of people homeless where I am. I see them ******** in shop doorways etc. It is a terrible situation for anyone to find themselves in. It is the measure of a decent society, the way it treats it's most vulnerable people.

I don't recall WMD being quoted in the Bible.

Two wrongs, don't make a right. The fact is that the neocon Republicians fabricated evidence to try to justify it's policy of invading Iraq. Iraq never had WMD. I much prefer to invest in Europe, thank you very much.

You need to re-read my posts. I haven't judged people in the porn business. I have judged people in the porn business who have ******** and the fact that those ******** will be exposed to their parents behaviour in that particular business. I do not think that it is appropriate for any *****...

Not fooling myself at all. The outcome of WWII was premised on several issues. 1.Was the outcome at Stalingrad and the huge input by USSR to the allied effort. 2.Was the introduction of USA to WWII in late 1941. 3.**** strategic errors in opening up too many fronts in 1941...

It would not suprise me. Those clowns, Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, were prepared to lie and fabricate "evidence" to justify their world view. Those criminals make Nixon and Kissinger look like boy scouts.

I disagree.

Those clowns Bush, Rumsfeld etc, invaded a country which posed neither an international threat or a regional threat. Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction. That was the lie promulgated by those cretins Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney. The anti-war protesters were correct. In Europe, we marched...

I wanted to clarify the circumstances of your country's involvement in WWI and WWII. It is incorrect for anyone to suggest that the USA won WWII. The US involvement in WWII lasted barely 3.5 years. Most historians accept that the turning point of WWII in Europe was Stalingrad, and the huge...

Hmm. Is that what they're teaching in history classes in the USA, these days? Your lot only got involved in WWII when the Japanese bombing you in to the war in 1941. Until then, you had profiteered from the war in Europe. The only freedom your lot were interested in between 1939 and 1941 was...

I do know who they are. And they're brain dead! And I don't think they're particularly goodlooking either.

Neither. They're completely brain dead.

First of all, who gives YOU the right to judge me? I don't consider any pornstar as being a good example to ****. Period. Whether sex is within or outside a relationship is immaterial - pornography is an artificial portrayal of sex. And for **** to be exposed to this artificiality is not right...

Janet looks different since she went professional.

Who are the people in the photo? And more importantly, do they have your permission to post their photograph here? If they don't, this could lead to trouble.

I think that there are several issues with this : once you're on film, it cannot be retracted. So before committing to a career in the industry, a person should think long and hard about whether they feel comfortable with the thought that what they do can/will be seen by their inlaws, ********...

Thanks - I didn't see the other drummer list!

Elizabeth Taylor in her day was magnificent. Same with Sophia Loren.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned.......GINGER BAKER. Superb drummer with the legendary CREAM. Keith Moon was brilliant to. One of my personal favourites is Levon Helm.

******** - the Beatles Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - the Beatles. Music from the Big Pink - the Band. Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 4.

I know the feeling - and my cure for it is to either go for a long 5 miles run or get out my bike and do a 50 miles spin

One of my favourite singers - and a stunning looking woman too. She's the woman in white ski pants and heels here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hnYKTys8rU...

No necessarily the case. There is no state controlled ******, board and outlets. State-run airlines? very few in western Europe. State run postal services? not necessarily. Private hospitals are allowed in western Europe. And the car industry is privatised too.

The value of your country's currency is based upon a lot of variables, other than the FEd, amigo. That's conjecture at best. The people who allowed the banks to operate as they did, are to blame. Greenspan, through his policies, allowed the banks to extend credit to people/institutions who...

What ???????????????????????? You accuse me of not knowing anything about the former Soviet Union? Bit rich coming from the likes of you who posted this rubbish, on message 86 of this thread! Countries that make up Russia! Hilarious stuff, Boob. I'd love to know what countries you think make...

But it would appear that there is no actual evidence that Demjanjuck actually ****** anyone. The Israeli's would have come up with something if there was even a sliver of evidence - they'd do anythnig to try to prosecute alleged WWII war criminals. The fact that the Israeli's couldn't assemble...

If there was direct evidence against Demjanjunk, you can be assured that the Israeli's would have tried to have prosecuted Demjanjunk. The fact that there was wasn't direct evidence, they had no choice but to release him. And they would have tried every single avenue to bring evidence against...

Germany is a failed country? I disagree. I travel to Germany both on business and on holiday and Germany is superb country. Germany has been an economic powerhouse since the early 1960's. It's infrastructure is second to none. It's healthcare system is worldclass. And what other country in the...

Hard one to call. Invasion of Iraq was an act of terrorism, no doubt. Invasion of Afghanistan was justified.

It's more deep seated that the coldwar, i would suggest. The very rich in America, have achieved their status by exploiting millions of poorer Americans. That's how they gained their wealth. And in order to protect that wealth, they will oppose any change to the US socio-economic structure. To...

Soviet Union was a totalitarian country and the Soviet Union did invade Hungary and Czechoslovakia, in order to maintain the totalitarian regimes that existed in both countries. Both countries populations attempted to overthrow the existing totalitarian regimes in their respective countries...
