It could work well when I try to jump on board.

Да, это я понял. Просто такая редкая птица - слёзы наворачиваются.

Crocodile isn't the troll here I am... Sometimes, at least. I just type whatever comes into my head and half the time I haven't got the time or energy to follow up on discussions. Plus I am rather flexible about my opinions and sometimes I change my mind after reading what someone else says...

But back to Israel; regardless of what you think is wrong with Israel and zionism (probably plenty....),I think people who are Christian should bear in mind that Israel coming into being is pretty much considered to be the fulfillment of biblical prophecy... Or do you simply disregard that? It doesn't mean one has to support everything that Israel does.. but it's not just any little country causing mischief... It's a bit special. I can't help but being willing to give it an extra chance, for that reason. That said; I certainly think they should stop building on the West Bank and try to be the most inclusive society they possibly can. In my current job I recieve software releases from a company in Israel and almost everyone I deal with seems to be Russian.

No, you haven't. It's just Ramil likes the popcorn.

@Croc: Maybe we should start a religious discussion; what do you think? But if we do, then people have to put the cards on the table and admit what they actually believe in (if anything).

@capecoddah: Cuba might be a lot more successful if the USA hadn't done its darndest to blockade, sanction, overthrow and generally sabotage its' government! I am not saying it's perfect by far (and I have never been there to judge for myself). But from what little I know, it's not worse than many other places in South/Central America. It's educating all its citizens, feeding them and giving them free healthcare. They are living in a reasonably equal society without those horrible inequalities that exists in many of th (US supported) South American states which are no more democratic than Cuba is. Oh btw, just remembered: My sister went there on some kind of nurse exchange program and said that the healthcare and conditions for nurses there were much better than any other third world country she's visited (she's been on several of those exchanges).

Maybe just for the trolling purposes.

(I think it's been a common knowledge the religious discussions are fruitless.)

Agree with it-ogo and in addition:

Didn't South Americans invent the expression "Yankee go home"? They kicked out the Spanish several hundred years ago and it's old news.. But where the Spaniards stopped, the USA took over!

I thought it was invented in Virginia.

Depends what the home of a Yankee is:

To foreigners, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.
To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner.
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.
To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.
And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.

And there must be someone who Yankee is for those who eat pie for breakfast in Vermont.

Yeah! I'm back. Been to some village up north for a short vacation. This discussion has moved way ahead, but I'll catch up. Нужно время!

@ Misha: Sounds good! Have you got any pictures?

@Croc: Yeah, maybe you are not entirely innocent of trolling....

I think that oldtimers are allowed to troll... a little. A we can call it differently. Ranting? Venting?

Let's settle with hunting.
