RE: 1st Aug .. NATIONAL SWISS DAY

that's the feeling I have been getting since I came back to Switzerland two years ago.
All the Traditions turned Upside down.

Yeah,this too sometimes

RE: Why English is the hardest language to learn

Heck,dont you remember Simpson,Homer Simpson,Bart's Dad.

RE: Why English is the hardest language to learn

anything,almost.
Just remove it from its Context and you'll get some strange results.

RE: Why English is the hardest language to learn

Perfect Language for Diplomats

RE: LET'S TALK ABOUT EUROPE AND EUROPEAN PEOPLE

and Collectivism,or should I say "Gleichschaltung" will miraculously set us free?
The Other similar Experiments in History have all gone,some of them with a Whimper,some of them with a Bang,same of them with a Whimper and a Bang,but All Gone!
Europe is about 200 years and a Bazillion Languages too late.
Economic Treaties would have made much more sense than a Political Union.

RE: Could you marry

exactly my Sentiment

RE: Could you marry

One of the Ancient Greeks summed it up by declaring that "LOVE JUSTIFIES MARRIAGE"
Attributed to Pythagoras or his Wife Theano "For it is not marriage that sanctifies love, It is love which justifies marriage"

Sums it up nicely IMHO

RE: MORAL LAW....

you forgot the 28000 pounds "Daysy-Cutter"
Sad thing is not that the Weapons exist,but that they have to be used,since some people only understand Force as a means of Communication.
I have never accepted that a Mans desire to Kill me and my desire to Live are mere differences of opinion.
And as long there are Hordes of Svages aroun,believing they have a right to kill me just because I live differently or believe differently. any Means of Selfdefense IS proper.You won't get far with'Peaceprinciples' in the Face of some crazed Savage of any Persuasion.
Action speaks Louder than Words!

RE: MORAL LAW....

Thanks.
Glad to be around.Look like I've made a good Choice for a change.
Hate it when I just 'Muddle' through.

RE: Leaving everything behind

you sure need all the Luck anyone could wish you.
Just moved back here two years ago,after a 36 year stay Overseas.
Switzerland can be a pretty dreary place even if you have Family here.So I wish you all the best of Luck and hope you will find some Friends and Compagnionship soon.

RE: Solving mid life crisis in men

that Bird not only dropped him in It,the Bird dropped It on him.

RE: MORAL LAW....

Yep,you hit the Nail on the Head.
In William Shakespeare's Own Immortal Words:To Thine Own Self Be True!

RE: MORAL LAW....

not sure there is such a thing as a Moral Law,since one is Moral by Choice, not by Coercion.Case in Point,a Bankrobber stops robbing Bans for the sole reaso of being afraid to get caught an going to Prison,will rob a Bank again as soon he is reasonably sure that it is safe to rob that particular Bank and get away with it.Only if he becomes convinced that his energy is better spent by Honest work will he change.Reward has alwas worked better than Coercion.So Morality cannot be made into Law,because it would always be Counterfeit,forced,coerced and therefore involuntary.Sorry if I pontificated,but I am the New Kid on the Block and somewhat feel like a Kid in the Candistore

Not very productive

New Kid On The Block

It's good to find so many new Friends.Was kind of apprehensive for quite a while to sign up ona site like these,but then Need is the Father(or Mother ) of all Invention.But then some things occurred recently in my life that kind of propelled me over the Treshold.
