So... I won't fight for those things. But I'll fight any of you people when defending my wife and kids. For other fights I suggest you guys hire some "contracters", aka mercenaries.

This is a very selfish comment but it is really funny

I really believe that european countries should be building bridges right now - it seems too many have been, if not burnt, then badly charred. I suppose that depends at least as much on the attitudes of the general public as well as the political leaders.

For what its worth, even though I'm a eurosceptic and would probably like to see the UK eventually leave the EU, I'd still like a strong european union (good mates, but not live in the same house...) and I reckon Turkey could be a valuable partner (provided Turkey's ok with that, of course ).

Just to add my little sauce: I think the more tolerant place in France is Brittany; but, again, it might be just because of the presence of Brits.
*smiles* I'm a guy - people quite often seem to be a bit unsure on forums xD. I'm *guessing* you're a lass..?

No, I'm a guy in *disguise*.. I believe women are more powerful: God Save Ze Queen!!! Sure, no one knows on forums; that's why I try to leave all possibilities *opened* in terms of gender, in my posts only. *smiles*

Hey, I'd have no problem with it if it didn't oppose the death penalty so adamantly. It's an important issue to me.
