... and how long ago was it you were in Europe?

I think you have the blinkers on.

Where there are more people, there are more abusers. You are a country of 300 million. Europe is a plethora of countries with 728 million people.

You make it sound like you cannot walk down the streets of Europe without getting mugged.

I think I would rather walk the East End of London at 2am than walk through New York's Central Park at 2am

.. and if I remember rightly, in the Red light districts of Hamburg, the majority of tourists were from the US.

So, you may not have the right light areas (which is rubbish anyway, because you do) but you certainly have whores ... and where there are services, there are customers


You started this debate about Europe and you have seen very little of it.

I dont need to see the States to see the degradation. Its all over our news. Its presented to us in your presidential debates and its covered in your tv stations for us to see.

So, while Europe is not Utopia, and I never said it was, it is a far cry from the Sodom and Gomorrah you paint it to be.

But then with 1300 years of culture, what do you expect?

did you know hitler claimed to be a christian doing doing gods work

interesting is it not

Hello wise politician yourself,

John McCain will be the next president. Although the polls favor Obama, during the Hillary and Obama face-off, the polls were always skewered in Obama's favor anywhere from three to five points. Taking this into account, it is obvious that McCain will win the election by a very narrow margin.

What will he and Congress accomplish?

1. The situation in Iraq and Afghanistan will be better, but not settled.

2. Health Care is too complex an issue, particularly with both parties leaning in completely opposite directions. Nothing will be settled.

3. Education has gone steadily down hill for who knows how many years. I don't believe anything meaningful will be accomplished.

4. Civil Rights? I don't get this. What more do we need? Let's be realistic. There are always going to be people who will show prejudice against those who are different from themselves. By this I am not just talking about race, but also ethnicity, politics, religion, socio-economic status, and on and on. In my old neighborhood, there was an older gentlemen who was prejudiced against anyone who had attained a college education. There was also a young man who hated older people. There is nothing that can be done about this type of mentality.

5. Economy. The economy will turn around in another two years no matter who is president.

6. Foreign Policies. John McCain will certainly do a great deal of positive things in relation to this.

That is too funny.. nearly peed on myself!

Why is everything you post slamming "the libs?" How can bipartisanship ever be reached with attitudes like yours?

No, I don't think 'Big Oil' will drop its price. They will gouge every penny out of us that they can. Free market? Look up "Oligarchy."

I think one of the biggest reasons not to tap our reserves is national security. Some day, and it may not be that long, the middle east will run dry, and we'll be sitting on pools of oil. Hopefully by then, we'll have transitioned off the earth polluting poisons and onto sustainable sources.

I listen to Rush sometimes just for a laugh.

I can't believe anyone takes him seriously.

Perhaps he doesn't even believe half the bullcrap he spouts.

He's the clown prince of the Republican Party.

Maybe he's really a liberal in disguise.

Crap by any name is crap .

hey you started it i don't think said anything bad to anyone, you attack me, so just returning the favor, i suggest, if you don't like it, don't be talking about something you no nothing about.
