haha merci.


Mltm, I don't know much detail about the European social system, but I haven't heard one good thing about it, other then them looking down on the US for not having one. Seriously, the idea is GREAT, but the way it works in reality... I think is far from what was intended.



I think it seems like none of us really knows well about the social systems. Don't know, it seemed me good, at least better than the system in Turkey, and heard that France was among the best on this, though the french always find something to complain and want to get more (I think people are never completely happy about what they geti maybe they would be thankful a bit more if they lived worse). What I think is the system can be improved and work better but should never be given up.

I think that the system may work great under some very special conditions, like - in the West, before big floods of immigration, where people actually hated using it. If you have a big mix of cultures, like increasingly in Europe and in the US, I think that as long as the economy allows people to work and save money, it's good enough and a social system would not work there.

Anyway, after we had a nights sleep and before we began to travel, he went and bought a gun!


Is there a particular reason why your English friends bought that gun?
I completely agree that the gun laws are extremely sick.



I am also interested why you felt the need to buy a gun. I have lived here all my life in big cities and suburbs, but never have I had to carry a gun. Yes, our gun laws are very loose, I agree. However, I don't know one single person who walks around with a gun in their possession. Yes, the gun might be the weapon of choice here, however I'm not sure which is worse, a person with a bomb attached to their back. It maybe harder to purchase a gun in other countries, but there are other means of weapons that are readily available to people. If someone wants to committ a crime, they will always find the means.

I think he thought we would be easy targets (no pun intended!) and it was to protect us (so he said). But he was encouraged by a police officer, that is the worrying part!

lol lol lol

Though MrX has a good point that the real face is more important then the pose. That means that we may have made mistakes in the past, but changed now OR that even though we may appear "nice and polite", what's really hiding behind this pose is more important .

i think not easy to get realities of a foreign culture without live in it,so we all have to think events in a big cool and trying to understand life realities of foreigns.How can we judge a person abouth just he/she don't look at same with us on a same topic,and why on't we try to think why she/he thinking different way from us.No need to be scientist,just we need to be more objective or more tolerated till to get tradition2s or attitudes' long historical,social,cultural and economical backround...
