      Actually, not that many countries are trying to build nukes. I can think of Chian, India and Pakistan. Do the French still have nuclear ambitions ?

        I personally think it is more of "who wouldn't want to live here" than "everyone wants to be an American". (Well, I am sure there are assholes who think everyone wants to be an American, but I haven't met them.) In my mind there is a huge difference between the two statements. The former says that the USA is a nice place to live. The later has that nasty tone of "You country sucks, you know it, we know you know it, I bet you want to come to the USA". I can do without the later. There is so much grand stuff in the world. It would be VERY boring if everyone was American. Other cultures, religions, attitudes, etc make the world an interesting place. Europe has great history. Australia has... Well, New Zealand has beautiful landscape. Australia has... Egypt has some of the great wonders of the world. Australia has... Hmm... Australia has a lot of GOD DAMN POISONOUS CREATURES!!!! :) Tim Smith Descartes Systems Sciences, Inc.

            We have lots of curry munchers here, too. The government provides it to old people, as it helps cover the flavor of the pet food they're forced to live on because they can't afford food and medication.

                                I don't eat any animal products that involve killing the animal to get them. I don't tell other people what to eat. If you want to eat dead animals :laugh: that's your choice ;-) For me: I could only in good conscience eat an animal if I had killed it myself. (but that's another rant) And I'm not sure if I could do that. Fortunately there is no dietary reason to eat meat. qomi "Don't compromise yourself. It's all you've got." - Janis Joplin

                                      I forgot to add, that I was making supper at the time I read that post. So here I am thinking about my nice yummy supper, and then I read cow and delicious in the same sentence. For over half my life I haven't eaten animals. Although I do see others eating meat *shrug* I guess sometimes you forget what other people do. And then when you least expect it....you are reminded. I know people that eat meat that only eat certain meats. Or some people will eat animals but not insects. I'm not trying passing judgement, or trying to put my opinions on anyone. :-) Like I said, I was making my yummy supper; wasn't expecting to read that post; shared my reaction. :laugh: qomi "Don't compromise yourself.

                                        For general reptiles we only have small native lizards and frogs. But New Zealands are super scared of snakes and we don't even have one snake on exhibit in a zoo. Occasionally snakes manage to make it past the customs dept in a box of bananas or seomething, and its a National Emergency. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

                                          I was amused by the previous post on the (Winter) Olympic Games, where (to name ONE example), the Americans were advised to be less patriotic ... loved John's comment, "bullshit" I would have thought (of the Americans), show me one thats not patriotic and I'll show you someone who's a Canadian in disguise ... so this brings me to an interesting point - how do people out there see us Kiwi's/Australians, how do the Indians see the Yanks and Poms etc this is purely for amusement of course, anyone with over-inflated ego's need not post a reply - Im not 'knocking' any person(s) or countries for their personal/political views on others .. or, how do you see you're own country ?? If I said Australia was a place of sport fanatics, bronzed lifeguards and great looking blondes, (a popular sterotype), I'd be ignoring the the short, fat, ugly baldies like myself - but you get the picture - what we are seen as vs what we are :) I hope this provokes some laughable posts ...

That crazy animal guy...The Croc Hunter "Fosters. Austrailian fot Beer." Kangaroos. Koalas. Aboriginies. That big rock. The Outback. Forest fires. Sydneys' weird building(opera house?) on the river(bay?)that's in so many pictures. Gods most phuked up creature: The Duck-billed platypus. Great Barrier Reef. Marsupials. Really bad accent. But then, I'm from Maine. What do I know? Anybody ever been to Maine? There's lots of good beer here......I think I just drank most of it though....G'night. Josh Knox that-guy.net
