I'm not even going to bother checking this thread out. I wasn't here and I can prove it.

However, I would like to know about your religious preferences...if, and only if, you have the time.

If you're too lazy, I'll understand.

Yes, and he's also interested in unicorns, spendthrift Scots, Bigfoot, The Buddha, and the conversion of the Glasgow man to Catholicism.


Quote
A Scottish man has been sentenced to an 8-month prison term for sending out anti-Catholic messages over the internet.

"The Pope and the Queen of England needs to be saved by Jesus. If not they will perish!", the man said in one post.

As part of a campaign to eliminate sectarian animosities from the internet, a judge sentenced Stephen Birrell to prison, explaining that he wanted to send “a clear message to deter others.”

Birrell had admitted posting messages that referred to Catholics as “scumbags” and said that he hoped the fans of a soccer team popular among Catholics would “all die.”

Now, who could that man be? And whatever happened to freedom of speech?

I've heard that laziness does not exist in medical terms. AFAICT, it is a vernacular term, which term may describe a 'state' caused by certain physiological and/or psychological disorders. Which disorders can either be temporary or permanent.

Shows your scant knowledge of me and religion Michigan man. I am as a practicing Presbyterian a Catholic as it relates to universal it is just that I am not a Roman Catholic. Kind of keeps me away from a mixture of Christianity and Paganism. It Assuming you are not about when the ex-colonies collapse(fortunate for you)  I would have organised a refuge for you here - but in Edinburgh not with the normal.

Admittedly they can be virtuous, but only if you take at least 3 short cuts.

Then you have that feeling that Mexicans looks to you with a stupefaction expression...
Have another Margarita enssb3 :)

But yes, Spanish it's nice and a very easy language to learn.
A brilliant Spanish intellectual and philosopher and a very close friend of Portugal, Miguel de Unamuno, once compared the sonority of Spanish and Portuguese as the Spanish reflecting the vibrant and intense colors of the brazing sun over the inlands of Castille - reds and yellows, while Portuguese sonority reflects the misty atmosphere of the Atlantic shore - everything much more pastel, soft and mysterious.

There you have something useful to say when having a fine diner with some of those intellectual kind of girls...  she will get impressed with your vast knowledge. :)

It's becoming so that it would be advantageous to learn a trade language from India. I encounter more people from India than Mexico nowadays.

[Broken] Spanish is handy for dealing with some subcontractors, but they often have a couple leads that speak perfect English (until there's a problem with something then suddenly there's a language barrier), lol.

I still maintain that "Sì no fuera por patochada…" means "If it weren't for nonsense…" Spanglish is what I've been exposed to, since my second year of 1st year Spanish: (The teacher was a very pretty girl who left to get married and was replaced by a Marine veteran! In Massachusetts at that time I saw no reason to continue… :) ) I can count, give directions and commiserate. That's enough:
There seem to be no Spanish-speaking intellectuals hereabouts (I mean, in my locale — and that includes my ex-wife and our two children… :sigh: ).

If trees, bushes and grass are involved, Hispanics are in the picture.

If wine is involved (in Tennessee and fourteen other states where wine can't be sold in supermarkets), Indians or Pakistanis are involved in mom and pop stores.

If political graft is involved, it's usually caucasians that are involved. That happens in 50 states and even in Washington DC.:) Come to think of it, it happens with all races in every country in the world, even the one that's just a bit larger than New York's Central Park.

Spanglish

Lol, yeah a lot of what I learned was out of school by a friend from south Texas. So I'm all backwards n stuff.

Quick story on subject...

I was walking into a convenience store run by Indians a while back and a Mexican truck driver was trying to get directions form the little Indian fella but they weren't having much luck communicating. Turns out the man's GPS had broken and he needed to get back to Arizona. Between my broken Spanish and his broken English we worked it out... Or at least I sent him to Memphis down I40 which would get him there eventually. When the truck driver left I asked the cashier why he couldn't sell the man a map... I didn't understand his response, so that explained everything. hehe.

Liquor store wine has too many preservatives. You can find a decent wine there but you either have to of tried all the >=$10 bottles and know the good ones or spend way more. Local wineries are where it's at. We've got a good one up here north of the 'Ville but they are everywhere so you shouldn't have any trouble finding one. You get to try them before you buy and everything.
