no obsession, just having fun, you should know that by now :0) besides, it is a device, to point out the obvious and make a point that your views are suspect. <<One thing you can say about Greece: they try to avoid killing people>> are you sure? as to trinidad, for that is what i suppose you referenced by the link, you do not see me voting with my feet towards that island, do you?

Kyros that's not fair. There are 1.2 million people in Trinidad/Tobago and most of them haven't been murdered so it's obvious that they too try to avoid killing people sometimes. < your country of birth and its murderous culture, which apparently is getting completely out of hand. > There are only 500 murders a year which means nearly everyone wasn't murdered and didn't murder anyone. Japan, with 110 million people has about the same number of murders. So TJ's home town is 100 times as lethal as Japan per capita and probably a lot less dangerous on a random killing basis. Japan does feel very safe, day or night, anywhere. Greece is safe too, being way down there with Japan. Brazil, Trinidad/Tobago, Jamaica are way up there with organ donors by the hundred being produced. Here's the list: en.wikipedia.org These days, New Zealand seems like Carnage Central, but I see it's still way down the list though the murder rate is about 20 times as high as when I was young.

"denigrating each other's tiny countries of origin." The term is minnows. Not 'tiny countries' If we use the term minnow, then we don't need to discuss about them for minnow means "comparatively small or insignificant"

Hello kyrosl, as I am sipping south African wine, wolfing down French froi gras, nibbling on Greek olives, absorbing awesome music, and celebrating Chinese lunar new year of 4709, I thought of our earlier conversation (and I recognize team USA is in far worse shape than Greece) Message 24314922 circa February 14 2008, or about 3 years ago <<GREECE, the still sovereign state, is going bankrupt, and will either exit euro or be first saved and then be bankrupted with the euro buy gold it is time again as to indians melting down their gold are offset by chinese buying place your bets buygold again>> Message 25495503 <<KyrosL has much to learn starting with why hk-based gold is in no immediate danger, unlike usa-domiciled everything ending with why the greeks might well go bk and soon if not already and why athens will burn much more easily than almost anywhere else, even iceland>> Do you begin to see what I meant? You must see that you misunderstood my lucky guessing for random taunting. In any case, I got caught up some what in my reading, being quite productive at the beachside gazebo here on koh samui island, and finished this very well written, informative and funny piece by Michael Lewis vanityfair.com (yes, it is dated October but I have been busy) "Beware of Greeks bearing bonds" Cheers, tj Recommendation to the Greeks: getgold
