I hate that though, I mean they helped us back in the day with britain,
and we helped them with hitler, they gave us the statue of liberty, I
hate that our talking heads and thier talking heads can't get along, but
I still get along great with the french hookers - voulez vous couchez

and a hot french hooker in my room!

Not if thier population declines, not if thier PRODUCTIVE population
declines, thier economy will shrink. We are having to import people to
fix what our BREEDING let go lax, how is germany on immigration?

behind the USA. But Singapore is in the top 5, attracting a lot of
growth.

You want entertainment, you got to go where the action is, I think I need

Maybe they can work it out peacefully, Ghandi's soul children you know.

Maybe we won't need bloodshed, just time and peace.

I just saw a special on PBS about reinventing the taliban and how womans
rights have gotten better in Pakistan, things get better, it just takes
time.

Negative thinking ensures negative outcomes. Break that demon.

I just went down there a couple months ago, many of the citizens there
seemed happier than many of the citizens I meet in america, the bus
stations were peaceful and controlled, as soon as I crossed back over to
El Paso and the bus station there, lots of violence, 1 shooting while I
was there. Lots of fighting and arguing. I liked the mexico bus station
better - felt safer. Their legal system is different from ours, but the
society as a whole - at least what I saw in the cities - seemed happy and
safe - not the warzone I see in some american cities.
