Only if you substitute Spanish with Russian "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her ears. ~ Woodrow Wyatt Woodrow was punished for making stupid statements by having way to many "w"s in his name. Men lust through the eyes, women pump their ego through the ears. Love has nothing to do with it. Or it's not love! WTF! I gotta stop writing serious posts... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

...flabbergasted!? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Silly boy. Deliverance took place in Georgia. This is the land of big hair and Christmas sweaters.

Southwestern Virginia! That's soooooo gay! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Fuck off! Find another buffoon. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

When i have down time at work i check out hot guys. Me too! And I have to add that every single one of my posts has contributed to the bettering of human kind.

Yup! Newbs...! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Ride 'em Cowboy! Merry XMas BTW...

Hey Pixie! Do you still happen to have them fine groundskeeper working on the DZ? These boys were great helping trim thorns off my canopy when that nasty bush ran towards my canopy on landing! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Very pretty, but there's something sad about her... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Congrats on getting your PHd Dave. knew you would make it.

I voted "Dinner with Walt"!

Rats! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Merry Christmas to all from Shanghai.

I wonder how many troops are now fluent in Arabic.

DO you guys on the far right EVER see a war you didnt like? Better still the rest of the American public would love it if you would just invite yourselves to your own wars in just a few more numbers to make your participation relevant.. I don't like any wars! Unfortunatley if you believe that we can win peace through treating others nice and being good you are living in a cave. Peace is only kept through force. Why, because there are those that would kill us or worse if they had the chance. We were attacked! and don't give me the bullshit that Iraq is not involved with al qeada. If there were left to do what they wanted iti is not a question of if, but when another, maybe large attack would come. I have lost a family friend over there. I will PM you his name and home town if you like. He grew up with my boys so don't give me the crap that I don't understand the loss His mother and family miss him dearly but they could not be prouder. If you think that shit is going very bad over there then why can't the anti war media get interview with many many soldiers that would say the same? The reason is because even those that have been badly hurt want to go back and finish a noble mission. So, do I like war? Fuck no but we are not the ones making it necessary. Open your mind, look at history, you might learn something ...breath rushmc, breath.....ok, deep breath, come on, breath slow........ "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Cool? Is that her name? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Very cool!

Hehehe! I am a member of the same union as Spielberg, Mel Gibson, James Cameron, etc... I would have no issues with unions if they were able to adapt themselves to modern times. I am a union member AND business owner. 4 years ago, "my" union almost took my business down because of contributions MY business did not make on MY behalf for work I performed that wasn't covered under the union category... Kinda felt like I was trying to sodomize myself. Hot! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I agree with the first 2, but Romania went (and still is going) through very painful steps to try to improve itself. As for the Balkans, after Tito died, it pretty much went to shit. Only with the intervention of foreign forces did they stop killing each other. Besides, I think we're comparing apples and oranges. China needs to feed over 1 Billion mouths every day. 10 people accomplish changes much faster than 10,000 do. Tiananmen was indeed a tragedy. Taiwan is a stickier issue. The island was part of China until 1949. Something similar happened in North America in the 1860's, and the man who used force to reclaim the rebelious territories now has his face on the local currency. Hong Kong is actually being used by both sides (mainland China and multinationals) as a middle ground. And it will probably stay that way. Tax haven, where you can actually do "Chinese" business, while not being officially part of mainland China. Unfortunately, local people are paying the price for it, but HK has turned into a financial platform in a much different way than it was before. Hard to describe on a website... If the "Great Leap Forward" had not been so catastrophic to CHinese society, it would be comical. People having to melt their tea spoons in makeshift oven in order to produce "steel" to compete with the West... Yep. Gotta feed the imagination one way or the other... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

ABout 2°C. Cold, but makes for amazingly beautiful weather. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I agree with pretty much everything you wrote, except the "Communist state" statement. The Chinese regime, although slowly allowing more freedom, is indeed a form of dictatorship, but it has very little to do with communism nowadays (at the exception of the party's name...). Part of it is capitalistic to the extreme. But i think we should hope that it keeps opening up, however NOT TOO FAST and certainly under control. As a general rule, countries do not fare well when brutal changes of regime occur. most recently, see the case of Russia. At the end of the day, I greatly doubt a war will ever occur. The Chinese have no intention of getting into one, and the West would have more to lose by being involved in one. It is shortsighted to think that the mid to long term attraction to China is based on cheap goods, as that will evolve, as you stated. However, it is such a huge potential market, and that's where the occident's interest is. There are already more cell phones in China than in the US. Selling a Coke a day to half of the Chinese population... Ah, the thought of it...

Nihao. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

What's his name! Say his name! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
