For some reason I always relate world events to those I know here FROM those countries. Whether it be the European debt crisis, a tragedy somewhere, whatever there's often someone from this forum I know who makes that story 'real' to me.

See, now I've gotta take back what I said. I think you meant 'too' many retards. And yeah, yours are even worse than ours, although our current one is really, really embarrassing (Prime Minster I mean)...

Yeah that's what meant. The only thing I don't dislike about him, skin color.....

Well, ummm, why would you? A little while ago I made the mistake of telling a lady (a distant 'relative' - my son's fiancé's stepmother I think) that her son was a nice colour. I really meant it, he was like a really nice dark tan colour. People thought it was a weird comment. I'm not sure, why. I said he IS though! I wish I was that colour! Then again, I wouldn't want to be like a really white red haired freckly fellow, I don't find that very appealing. I also like those very very very dark Nigerian people; they have beautiful skin. Darker people always look more muscley, too. I'm sure I'm JUST as muscular as those Olympic black track and field athletes, it's just my skin colour that makes me look all puffy and fat... :-)

Haha that is so true!! I wish in had skin that didn't burn after 5 minutes! Can't get everything:-)

That's why we wear caribou parkas in the Great White North year 'round!
