    Beef is quite popular in Trivandrum. Personally I prefer mutton or chicken. Have you tried mutton brain? It's kinda gooee gooee but very tasty :-) Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

            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.

                  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.

                        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 ...

                                i roomed with a guy in college who was on the school rugby team. he somehow got elected to host the after-game parties each week. so, every other friday, the entire team would walk off the field and over to our apartment (wearing the same clothes: muddy shoes and bloody shirts, etc). then they would play the craziest drinking games. shoot the boot: one guy takes off his shoe and someone pours a beer into it. someone else drinks the beer. (forget the name): someone drops their pants, someone else pours a beer over the guy's ass crack and into a pitcher. the team drinks the pitcher. this is obviously reserved for special occasions. You Chug: point at someone and yell "You Chug". the pointed-at person has to finish their beer. then they get to point at someone else. etc.. we have rugby over here. but it's only really caught on in colleges. -c

                                    Having played both rugby and football in my time I would venture that even with the pads on a rugby player would last about 20 seconds in a real football game.

                                          Bring your ass down to Texas and say that :) Remember in the Bible where it said on the seventh day God rested ? Well just where do you think he went to rest ? Right! somewhere between Dallas and Austin. I just read somewhere where if Texas as an economy was consodered seperate from the US it would rank eighth in the world. The real difference between a Texas cowboy and one from Arizona is that the Texan has cows and boots. Richard If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you.

                                          I was in Texas one day... took a week.

I read a similar study that ranked Texas in comparison with other sites for locating 'think tanks' - the conclusion was that it would be best filled with water. It's quite possible that I've missed the good parts, not being all that well travelled, but I've been told that the best place to be in Texas is the exact middle. That way, no matter which direction you choose to go, you're on your way out. I do know from experience that the best view of it is in the rear view mirror. :laugh: Texas? Oh, you must be thinking of Baja Oklahoma....
