As to the rest of the conversation, I wonder about those alleged misinterpretations myself. I didnt think there were any. Sorry to interfere agian, but I think that everybody's point is made very clearly.

I like and hate Athens It is a beautiful city from an historical perspective, but the traffic is INSANE!!!!!!!

Having said that, I was there for the Olympics and that was just splendid!

Its kinda funny isnt it? I mean, Blazing Saddles, considered by many to be the funniest movie ever made, has the Burton Gilliam line "Dock that CH**K a days pay for nappin on the job." I mean we can laugh at that but not at Rosie? Although like I said earlier I just wish shed shut her hole for other reasons.

That movie was made before the whole advent of "political correctness." It was from that golden era in our times when everyone was a bit more laid back. Sometimes I think we're all moving too fast for our own good now.

Mary, this thing about the Jews not having a place of their own is something that I think about very much lately (for some unknown reason I am reading a lot of things on the Holocaust nowadays). However, I have to admit that I am not very familiar with the political aspects of this matter, so I don't have an actual opinion myself. I just stated the obvious, the famous cliche "there are two sides to each story".

Oh nice! It was wonderful during the Olympics, even I -who suffer every day from this horrible traffic- liked it! I hope you enjoyed yourself and that you come back someday!

On edit: ditto on your previous post
