olivier in france

They should do like we did here in the old times! The people of my hometown region the old province of Dauphiné is nicknamed the Bruleurs de Loups ("Wolves burners") -it is the name of Grenoble's hockey team now- a reference to the traditional way our ancestors killed wolves in our dear Alps mountains: The whole village chased the wolfpack with torchs and fires till they had the pack blocked in a dead end ravine then they were throwing the torchs on the pack burning them all! A little barbaric but efficient!

Don Cherry making the trip to deep Quebec! That's gonna be fun! I hope he survives the night!!

yeah like an OJ Simpson one!!!

IMO The main issue the Pats faces this year is not their "aging" D (they'll be fine) or Cassel (he'll be OK), it's their poor running offense that makes them so one dimensional. Maroney is not a great back and their O Line is not at the level they were those last few years.

I hated them when they played for Dallas , i hate them even more when i hear them as "analysts". It's not only E Smith, it's Aikman and Sanders too!

that may explain why i don't understand that new VP candidate you have... i've never learned alaskan at school.

That looks great for the russian _ american relations!!

TPS a Chavez fan? not the TPS i know for sure!

how do you dare to suppose what i think?!!!

How do you dare?!! One more word and the conservatives of this board are gonna say the US Constitution is socialist BS!!

well if you want to list everything that'd have never been built without the income tax it's gonna be a very long list!

Good analysis on Japan. But something that is very different in the USA is demography. An important problem Japan has and that the USA has not is that they're an aging country. Culturally and politically they have stayed totally closed to welcome any immigration and without any "new blood" i can not see how they gonna rebound...

So the Constitution was "killed" by that little small illness called the income tax? That was one very fragile person!!

hou that's nasty!! the 2006 standings !!! LOL!! And for your information i've suffered enough time as a Red Sox fan to proudly claim i've been a RS Sox since the day i've learned the rules of baseball back in 1988.

There is one thing that surprises ALL europeans the first time they travel in the USA: The sad state of american roads/ railroads/public transportation systems.

that's sad because it should...

I'd have said "USA Home of the civil always eating/drinking/buying stuff, never watching the game fan"

that's the difference there... we are not yet used to all that winning so we are still in that honeymoon period when we accept about everything! Give us one more decade like that and we'll talk again!

he i'm a real Red Sox fan!!! When i check the scores each morning i first check the Yanks'one, and if they have not lost, the night can still be saved by a Red Sox win!

Don't you know i'm always drunk?! How do you think i can survive in France?

That's the problem when you're just ending a long (8 years) bad relationship... you fall in love for any dog with the right lipstick

As long as you don't let them in your email box!....

the indian? the cop? or the navy guy?

Am I (a frenchman) actually having a discussion with american conservatives about the evils of strong governments and being the one that actually worry about those evils?!!! I think Hell is freezing right now!!

Yeah right!!
