So you don't eat French fries because they are Belgian (they are not French :) )? And you don't eat Hot Dogs because they are German? You don't eat Pizza because they are Italian? You don't eat Rice because they are Asian? And you don't eat Hamburger? :) Well what do you eat, when you don't eat something from other cultures? ;) Greetings, Ingo ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right.

Actually, her whole life is a public act that she puts up so she stays in the limelight. So I think she can act :-)

Nish, I think the point is that Paris Hilton doing that part justice is as likely as pigs flying to the moon.

She may live like a slut, but we don't really know if she can or cannot act well, do we? :-) This is her first big chance to prove it to us.

Does it really matter as long as she acts well?
Yes actuall it does. She makes a mokery of everything Mother Theresa stood for. And on top of that, SHE CAN'T ACT! X| X| X| ---sig---

- Paris Hilton is being considered for the role of Mother Theresa in an upcoming film. My ability to suspend belief has finally been overwhelmed. First, she can't act worth spit. Second, casting her as Mother Theresa would be almost as plausible as casting George W. Bush as Ghandi. 2) A key DHS official was caught red-handed trying to seduce what he thought was a 14-year old into having sex. I wonder why that propensity didn't surface during his security background check for his top-secret clearance? This leads me to ask why it costs the government $100,000 to conduct just one of these security clearance checks if this kind of crap slips through. 3) School CHILDREN protesting proposed immigration reform. Where do they get off? They have no clue as to the intricacies or financial repercussions of making such changes. They've not experienced the burdon on their local healthcare infrastructure, and are shielded from detrimental effects on their education system. Vincente Fox has publicly stated that he wants to "take back" most of the southwestern United States, and he's doing it by re-populating the region with Mexicans, implcitly encouraging illegal border crossings by doing nothing to help the US to prevent it. If I see a Mexican flag flying at any public facility here in San Antonio, I will personally bring it down. I won't burn it or anything like that, but I will not tolerate a foreign country's flag being flown over U.S. soil. It doesn't belong here. Finally, if these people are so enthralled with their country of origin, then by god, go fuckin back there. [edit] 4) A woman purposely walks AROUND metal detectors and security staff, ignores REPEATED warnings to stop, and when a police officer attempts to restrain her, she PUNCHES HIM. The fun doesn't stop there. It turns out she's a congresswoman who forgot her identifying lapel pin and was not recognized by the security guards. Then hilarity ensues - she actually accuses the cop of ASSAULT, calls everyone involved racists, and the black community rallies behind her as if she was just pressed into slavery. First, NOBODY should get a free pass through a metal detector - NOBODY - even if they're wearing a super-secret lapel pin and decoder ring! Second, she knew the freakin rules, yet she IGNORED them. Lastly, she overtly challenged the authority of the police officer when he attempted to exercise a reasonable level of physical restraint to prevent her from proceeding further into the building. What kind of message did THAT sen

Consultes, embassies and military bases are considered to be "native soil" of the occupying country. I don't count the Mexican Embassy as being a likely target for taking down the Mexican flag.

I also mentioned hotels. You didn't answer that part of the question! What about hotels that display an array of flags outside their front entrance?
