How come the IMG tags work for everyone else in the universe, and not for me? I can see them but I can't USE them. I think I will blame the ratings system. :(

And how come Taco, Lo, and pandastrong are consistantly the coolest people on the forums? I think it's due to lacking event support. :(

What about him ordering her to use birth control? (though i tend to agree)

I thought I heard of some religion(s) that don't believe in birth control. Sounds like that can be infringing on religious rights.... ack... can't believe I'm defending religious rights. Next thing you know pigs are gonna fly and there is gonna be a picture on the moon.

it is my understanding that:

3. America does not even have an official language in their consitution.

Actually, that's a often quoted but untrue statement. It's Pakuni.

I often wonder why Americans are so adverse to learning or at least facilitating the use of the Spanish language. Would it be so wrong to actually be able to speak two languages? Besides, Spanish is a blast!

Interesting article on this here:http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JWCRAWFORD/question.htm

I have to wonder why, when most countries decide on an "official language", the US never has. Is it because weare a "melting pot"?" Not sure.

Myself, I think taking one foreign language should be required. It is where I live and I am happy about that.

I am (or used to be) fluent in German, and can get by conversationally in Spanish and Korean although my Spanish grammar leaves a lot to be desired and my Korean is limited to conversational needs, I cannot read or write anything in it except my name. Even with my own personal limitations, I am happy that I possess these skills and wish more folks saw the value of learning an alternate tongue(s).

I tried to rate this thread 4 stars because I had nothing better to do (and to piss off panda) but it wouldn't let me.

Buenos dias! ¿Tienes una mesa para seis personas? Debo llamar en Inglaterra.
