The Chinese would disagree with you. They think that Westerners are the barbarians. "Barbarians" was the official name for the foreigners used by the Chinese back in the old days. These days the Chinese know that they'll have to play nice with the barbarians in the modern age. Who can blame them? |

Maybe this is how these things go. There was an article in one of the non-Fux news papers the other day to the effect that if Trump had been in charge during WW2, we'd all be speaking German now:-) |

Only in that mind of that old crone does someone have to deny having written what they quite clearly had not written. > Feel free to quote an orginal where he even mentioned a soap > opera, and prove me wrong with this. You had the original. You saw what I wrote and you saw where she flew off the handle saying that she didn't watch soap operas while washing clothes and didn't know any women who did. I clearly said that in those days they did not because it was an all day job. I knew women who did later on when there were automatic washers. My mother was one of them. Watching soaps gave her something to do while the machine was doing its magic. My mother also watched soaps while she was baking. She would make bread at least once a week. It took time for the yeast to do its thing. It took time for the dough to proof and it took time to bake. She didn't always watch television during the wait times. She was also a voracious reader. I have no idea WTF is wrong with Lucretia that she would fly off her broomstick over my comment, other than her having a pickle up her butt that predisposes her to read offense where none was written, |
