I spoke with a woman from Finland once, some years ago, but I think she had
been in this country so long that I couldn't detect an accent.

 BF> Ohhhh, a cold Tuborg Julebrygd, That's the beer they make at

I pass.  (-:

Well, your country will have to do what is best for it.

 BF> I know but I didn't want to be rude to you.

Thanks.

 BF> We call them parrots since they are coulorful and loud.

Since I haven't heard them, nor have I had to put up with them, I haven't
had the opportunity to pick out a name for them yet.

 BF> In Germany they say: Die Dumme Schwede.

"The stupid Swedes?"

 BF> I can say: "2 Mythos please" in Greece and Mythos is the
Greek beer.

I thought it was a myth.  (-:

We did the same thing for Japan, and although they did not have the natural
resources that Iraq possesses, they are very intelligent people and
electronically oriented.  The Japanese made a fortune making electronics
smaller.

 BF> But can USA and China work together after what happend?

I think so.  The only thing we all have to do is keep trying.  To give up
is unacceptable.

 BF> It was a theory but we will never know the truth.

We'll know somebody's truth.

Yes, but it's getting more difficult for them all the time.

 BF> Every normal human beeing understand this but there are always some 
 BF> that doesn't and they always find a way to continue their fight.

That's what makes the human race unique.

We had something along those lines during our last election for President.

 BF> Do you btw. know where the word "hooligan" comes from?
 BF> I know.

As far as I know, there is no origin for it, but my instinct tells me it's
Irish; a people who could have conquered the world, but they were too drunk
to know it.  (-:

 BF> See, you don't know it all.  :-)

Now tell me something I don't know.  (-:

 BF> This have happend several times.

What has?

 BF> It was that night between 9 - 10 nov. 1938 the jew-hate exploded in 
 BF> Germany on order by propagandaminister Goebbels and all jewish shops and 
 BF> synagogues were closed and many jews were start taken to concentration

I recall that.

 BF> My wifes fathers sister are married to a German and he remember what 
 BF> happend during this time but he never wants to talk about it.

I don't blame them.

 BF> That's the best way to keep a friendship but sometime it's nice to

It is the adult way.  Although there are times when religion creeps into
our conversation, one does not try to get the other to convert to their
belief.
