American dollars is plunging: NO MORE TRAVEL!

Me to; but the one guy I know that did make a ton of cash moved away to
a very ritzy and exclusive area where there were more like him; and less
like where he came from... He has a whole new circle of friend$ and
activities that excludes old friends for the most part. Sure; we're
still friends...

Speak for yourself. Just yesterday I was visiting a friend whose
monthly
income is perhaps 20% of mine, and he has been a friend for 6 years
or so.

Amen to that. I have some friends who make much more money than I do,
and some who make much less, and we've been friends since childhood.

Learn to read. I was talking about a friend who perhaps makes 20% of what I
make. In other words, he makes 80% less than me, or I make 400% more than
he.

Now look what you've done - he'll be staring at his fingers for days, now.

So if your friend makes 20k and you make 100k NEITHER of you are
considered 'rich' in the sense that they can do anything they might want
to with money. To a truly wealthy person you're both pikers, and very
likely not in the same social circle.

Just "more money", not "rich".

I really doubr the French would stop someone
from wearing a cross to school, but the
moslems are fair game, I guess.


Oz:----
And here I thought that everybody else was fair game to them. I guess I
read too many fictitious news articles about Muslims killing people that
are non-Muslims. Am I now to start to believe that 9-11 was just a news
hoax perpetrated by Bush & co?

My observation of the Americans (most, but not all) is as follows:

- They are very shallow
- They are very immature
- They are very materialist
- They are very arrogant
- They are very greedy

In anotehr word, they are a bunch of spoiled-crying-baby brats - just
like their president!

Grow up!

America; made up of Americans; are clearly the most generous people on
the Planet.

What nationality are you Guido? "Shallow, Arrogant and Immature" may be
better applied...

Generosity is demeaning to the recipients.

Yes. Actually, the WTC is still standing. Bush and Company have succesfully
tested their new cloaking device to make the WTC invisible and are using the
WTC to house all their covert operations. They needed more space since the
vast complex under one of the bridges wasn't large enough anymore. By faking
the disapearance of the WTC, people will never suspect that there would be
covert offices there.

Gee, why not have the majority have their way?

Fortunately, in more and more countries, and even in some US states,
the
majority agree with me on this issue. Another 10 or 20 years and in the
Western world same-sex marriages will be as normal as voting rights for
women and equal treatment of blacks and whites.

So you are putting same-sex marriage in the same category as voting
rights for women and equal treatment of blacks and whites?

How arrogant of you!

I'm not gay so it won't be arrogant of me to say I pretty much
agree with Sjoerd.

Did you think Martin Luther King was arrogant because he was
black and promoting equal rights for blacks? (Lots of people did,
after all.)

It is extremely arrogant of Sjoerd to compare his so_called right to
same-sex marriage with the hard fought right won by women and blacks.

Your as arrogant as Sjoerd.

What is the difference? All are or were fights by groups for equal status
under the law and by the general public. How can say it's not just as
valid?
