Like: You can enjoy any kind of lifestyle you please.. from snow skiing to dancing all night at freaky bars... from getting lost in the secluded, lush wilderness, to hanging out in an internet cafe atop a skyscraper.

Dislike: The Marxist, fanatic Left Wing (and mainstream media) is in spike-the-football, rub-it-in-everone-else's-face mode, cheering on our re-elected President as he usurps the legislative process and writes up dozens of executive orders to do whatever he wants. The country was designed so that we have 3 *co-equal* branches of government. Our current President instead thinks himself a Monarch.. a King... and just writes stuff into law without the slightest concern for whether the people support it or not. The mainstream media, who supports our President ideologically, covers his tracks with selective reporting and broadcasts propaganda and lies to keep the populace misinformed and unaware. Our country is in MAJOR decline.

Of course, if he runs a little faster, he may catch up to GWB, but he's not in the race with WJC and RR or even JC. Please pardon my ignorance, but isn't GWB a Republican?

...come up with a definition of "tyranny" and then let him have automatic weapons which he can turn on public employees and elected officials when he personally reckons his definition of government "tyranny" has been met! 😵😵😵

There is a standing joke here and in Britain also
that when you go on holiday, the Germans get up at the
crack of dawn and they get all the best places by the hotel pool
and on the beaches.

Does that joke translate to other parts of the world as well?
A colleague came back from holiday last year bragging about how He used to go down to the Hotel pool at 04:00 am and take the Germans towels off the sunbeds and fling them in the pool.

I believe Him, He is an annoying urine taker all year round.

The poor poolboy will have had to replace the skimmer motor I'm sure and why? Because of your annoying urine taker "friend?/colleague". 🙁

In an economic downturn we need to keep the skimmer motor factories open at all cost's, every clown has a silver lining.🙂

Back in 1985 (last time I went anywhere) Germany was a great place to visit. Everything worked - heating, bathroom fixtures, the lot - and nothing was missing, everyone was polite to tourists, nothing was "closed for renovations" in the tourist season, and those trains were just wonderful. Order is good, even if irksome occasionally. 🙂
