SMILESS>>>> you werent off topic, the original post was about the armenians celebration,,,tell us more,,, are you armenian?


No I am German actually, yet I have a degree in history from Germany and speak alot of languages fluently. I also spent half of my life as a Red Cross Coordinator travelling to alot of countries helping those who are not so fortunate in life. So having seen some of these countries struggles gave me a better idea of what the people endured.

I believe we tend to forget that the Armenians care less of what Bill Clinton's affairs where. They care more about how they can have a country of their own and freedom. They have Clinton and its bipartisan Congress to thank. Afterall they voted to help fight off the genocide at the time.

Sometimes I think America has had freedom for such a long time that I feel many have forgotten what it took to get such freedom. In otherwords, many take it for granted. Armenia is just starting to enjoy their economy and government.

I use to give out food, first aid, blankets, and stuffed animals all over Yugoslavia at the time. So I have seen poverty, hunger, distress, and many war inflicted citizens.



I am happy for them. drinker
:banana: You speak a lot of languages fluently?surprised I am so jealousrantI am only barely fluent in Spanishlaugh



I Always wanted to speak many languages,, I work with people who know four or five and they make very good money for having taken that effort.

Europeans tend to learn languages quicker because the countries are small in comparison to the United States, which is the third largest country in the world right?

You could drive in one direction a thousand miles and you are still speaking English. Yes okay, maybe Spanish in some parts now.

Now drive a thousand miles in one direction in a European country and you experience a whole new culture, lifestyle, belief system, and of course language.

That being said, it is only natural that we learn languages because we can be exposed to it rather easily.

Also having travelled alot to countries, I had to learn the basics of languages to communicate with the inhabitants.

Thus far I speak 4 fluently, and 3 medicore.

Of course German is my mother language so that doesn't count.

My English was the third language I learned and I plan to improve it each day. What better way to perfect it by living in the country right! I learned alot about American accents that is for sure!laugh

It is okay! You are concentrating your studies on other things. Besides today they are getting so good with translating programs that you can type it in and (puff) you have it translated in seconds.

If you are studying Spanish then Italian and Portugese should be easy to learn next. There are alot of similiarities in the language pronuncation. Of course you need time to learn a language, interest, and practice!

It seems in today's society many people live a hectic life that offers little time. This makes it difficult to learn at times.

It is never too late to learn a language, its culture, the people, and belief system. It is actually very fascinating. Well at least it is for me anyway. drinker

Pope Paul the second spoke alot of languages. Although he passed away, I was always astonished on how fluent he was in various languages.

Well thank you very much for the compliment. I worked and studied hard for it. English is one of the most spoken languages in the world! I remember visiting people in Tibet and was surprised to have met so many speaking English there. I felt in a disadvantage because I surely cannot speak the ancient language of Tibetan, although I wish I could. A dying language by the way just like the language of the Miccusokee Tribes of Indians here in Miami where I live.

Many languages are disappearing as we speak. They will be forgotten.

Mandarin, Spanish, Indian, and English will surely strive across the globe. Others are endangered. Even German is declining believe it or not. Although it will take time, but Germany has been on a decline on births. More and more Germans have only 1 baby now. Some couples don't have any!

Russia is also declining on population. They even have a national holiday allowing couples to mate so they can bear a baby. The government encourages it and rewards those a bought apartment, car, and cash prizes if a couple bears a baby on new years.

Well I am truly off topic now, but thanks for the chat. It was fun!

he lied under oath in a deposition when a woman sued him for sexual harrassment.

He was impeached for purjury AND obstruction of justice

he used the power of the Presidency to circumvent justice in a civil case

that was our business


What woman sued him for sexual harrassment?

Perjury and obstruction of justice about his damn sex life that was none of our business, only an idiot wouldn't see the wrong in that.noway And yes there were alot of idiots around that time. People should have got smarter by now.

Circumvention in a case about his sex life that was none of our business. We shouldn't have been there anyway.


Paula Jones sued him for sexual harrassment

and anytime a President uses his power to deny someone a fair trial it IS our business


There is no proof he used his power to deny someone a fair trial.


except for the impeachment of course


The impeachment was for lying. Which he should not have had to do because we shouldn't have been in his sex life to begin with.

My tax dollars were wasted on all of that for a bunch of idiots who needed to go take care of their wifes, girlfriends, male partners and stay the hell out of other people's sex lives.


very enlightened attitude for someone that jumped up and down about this Republican senator or that Republican Congressman for sexual depravity in their private lives..

I didn't see you holding to this virtuous standard when the Carolina Governor had his little trist with the hottie from South America..

Seems to me you were all up in arms about his "hypocracy" in not holding to his "conservative values".. seems you were well enough interested in his sex life..

but not your precious Bill Clinton.. no.. no.. we gotta stay out of his sexual escapades..

Isn't it funny that when a cheating conservative gets caught, he needs the prayers of the other conservatives for being only human. Yet, when a cheating non-conservative is caught, it's 'grab your pitchforks' and 'those who vote for cheaters are as morally bankrupt as the cheater' (even though the vote preceded the revelation).

Bonus question: what do Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton have in common?

-Kerry O. "Sauce for the goose."

Our tax dollars are wasted every day on stupid crap. Idiots are the ones that don't see a president that had an affair as wrong. It's the idiots that don't see that a President is SUPPOSED to set an example for our Country, screwing another woman while he was married was DEAD WRONG. He got what he deserved. :banana:


I can't keep quiet any longer. Peledac usually says it all for me but I have to jump in here. How liberal can some of you be?? How about if your pastor/priest/minister/rabbi did the same thing with the organist(no pun intended, well maybe)? Are you going to say, "It's his business. We all lie about our sex lives." By the way, why would someone lie about their sex lives unless they are doing something with someone they shouldn't? When I'm paying taxes and relying on my president to run this country I want to feel assured that he isn't dangling his junk under the Oval Office desk for some nit-wit intern to get rug burns on her knees while servicing him.


How do you feel about Kennedy and his affairs?

There's also the other presidents that had affairs.

Why, Atlantis? They were both presidents of ours.

Clinton was the only one of the cheating presidents put on trial for their personal affairs.
