    before entering into any kind of deal. What exactly are you referring to?

    Until I was 20yrs. old I thought the leading cause of death in Europe was getting trampled at a soccer match.

                I see that the world media is portraying the USA as having a huge melt down over the verdict in Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. Just so you know, yesterday in my home town I went for a long walk, had a Margarita on the front porch of my uncle's home, and played video games with my daughter. There was an up-ended garbage can downtown - possibly the result of some violent protest - but most likely up-ended by my neighbor, Mrs. Eire, aged 96, who has tendency to bump into things with her 1989 Oldsmobile. I didn't meet anyone who had any clue as to what was going on with that case. In short, most of America doesn't care and most of America looks on with utter amazement as cesspools like L.A. and NYC descend into violence at every opportunity. Bear in mind that these are the two locations in our country that people go to when they want to establish an acting career - over acting is what they do. So I propose we make a deal: I suggest that I won't believe the news outlets when they find Euro-scum and portray human debri as representative of some vast movement across the pond if you'd return the same courtesy. Thanks.

                That's shocking. I would have thought you would have to walk no more than 100 yards before you found a black person to shoot. Obviously a lot of people had got there before you.

                  My father will turn 83 this year and still drives. He had a hard attack 2 years ago and was 6 months in hospital and litarally saved by the doctors (was a 5 minutes story).

                    Personally, I do not understand the logic of: Smashing store windows, overturning cars, looting, beating people up, setting fires, etc, in order to: protest violence in society....

                              It is -- except that it's called football, because it involves interacting with a ball using only one's feet (hence the trampling being particularly apropos).

                                  Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

                                    I just thought it was the Americanism for the proper spelling. There are a fair few so it's easy to make that mistake!

                                      It is immoral to not pay your meter bills.

                                        I see that the world media is portraying the USA as having a huge melt down over the verdict in Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. Just so you know, yesterday in my home town I went for a long walk, had a Margarita on the front porch of my uncle's home, and played video games with my daughter. There was an up-ended garbage can downtown - possibly the result of some violent protest - but most likely up-ended by my neighbor, Mrs. Eire, aged 96, who has tendency to bump into things with her 1989 Oldsmobile. I didn't meet anyone who had any clue as to what was going on with that case. In short, most of America doesn't care and most of America looks on with utter amazement as cesspools like L.A. and NYC descend into violence at every opportunity. Bear in mind that these are the two locations in our country that people go to when they want to establish an acting career - over acting is what they do. So I propose we make a deal: I suggest that I won't believe the news outlets when they find Euro-scum and portray human debri as representative of some vast movement across the pond if you'd return the same courtesy. Thanks.

                                        Remember a few years ago (2005?) when there were some riots in the suburbs of Paris and some other bigger towns in France ? That was broadcasted as "civil war in France" on every US TV channel, some of them showing tanks (?!) and barricades. Actually, this was a very peaceful couple of days. I had a couple days off and only heard about the whole thing two days after it was over. Tlak about media covering...

                                        I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Do not feed the troll ! - Common proverb

                                          I'd have to be able to understand what you mean by:

                                          before entering into any kind of deal. What exactly are you referring to?

                                          is this vast movement something to do with the jobbie in the post above?
