"College in the US.  Each state has their own University system for state residents:
SUNY (State University of New York)
PER SEMESTER
Full time:
NYS Resident undergraduate - $2,175
NYS Resident graduate - $3,450
NYS Resident MBA - $3,550
Non-NYS resident undergraduate - $5,305
Non-NYS resident graduate - $5,460
Non-NYS resident MBA - $5,670"

Those prices are staggering. We pay a little more than 500EUR for a full year.

"Thats because its overly subsidized by tax payers....of all kinds.  It burdens the Economy."

I don't see what's wrong with a country investigating in it's future by investing in education. I'd rather have my country heavily invest in proper education and future rather then the military force.. That, my dear, burdens your economy wink
Besides, USA schools tend to have extensive sports facilities (at least, that's what I've seen in documentaries), over here it only 1 sportshall. I don't know why a school should have a swimming pool etc.

"The only problem with government controlled healthcare is that the doctors get paid to little."

Not necessarily. Over here, you get most of your medical expenses back by wellfare, but pay a small part of it as well. We have a sort of regulation that there can be only 1 doctor for a certain amount of people (and our doctor/population ratio is higher then in most other countries), so the doctor's quite sure of his/her income wink

"28 days later is hardly a zombie movie though ^^"

Mindless people infected and attacking other people is pretty much a zombie to me. Who cares if they're from a graveyard or not?

EDIT: it could as well be a description of the US army tongue

"It would have been really nice if we could have just had a universal positive message here in supporting one another, and not arguing over the truth of the Bible."

"I think the athiests/agnostics are the close minded people in the world.  It's true, there is no way to prove that God does or does not exist, but the purpose of religon in my life is to give hope that there is something better coming my way, or to my family."

How does that make us closeminded? It's not because God doesn't exist we can't believe for the best for us. Read Schopenhauer! According to him is God a depiction of a perfect human, that doesn't have any of the weaknesses of our kind. He then claims that we should aim not to please god, but to please mankind (of wich god is merely a depiction), thus helping eachother and wish the best for eachother directly, instead of dragging God in it..

"thats not true Decimus aborted babies dont go straight to hell they go straight to heaven, because they are innocent, kids, teen agers, etc.. are not accountable for their sin until the age of accountability, which is different for every one."

You're wrong. Through the entire history people have invented tools and practices to baptise children asap, as 1 out of 10 babies died in the first week throughout the ages. There were even tools invented to baptise babies while they were still in the womb. All that because they believed unbaptised souls couldn't be saved. They were supposed to live in the outer circles of hell, among with the pre-christian thinkers like Aristotle, Plato etc.
Only recently (1 or 2 years ago) Ratzinger made a Papal bull that unbaptised children go to Heaven after all wink

"Op een bepaald moment zijn degenen die het normaal meestal organiseerden ermee gestopt (om verschillende redenen)."

Inderdaad, langs de ene kant zijn er ontmoetingen naast de meetings gekomen (het was toch altijd het zelfde groepje dat afzakte) en langs de andere kant zijn er een aantal dingen gebeurd die een nieuwe meeting wat in de weg staan (zoals mijn afgesprongen relatie met Charlotte, de moeite die het kost om een ganse nacht voort te pintelieren, etc.). Laten we zeggen dat we ge

"very far.
Till the river Rijn were the barbarians lived and offcourse a smalle village in now a days french where the villagers boldly defined the roman forces."

As far as I know, the Rhineborder isn't exactly mediteraenian.

Anyhow, Carthage was, at that time, a city with an enormous economic power, Carthage's defeat meant to the Romans that they now virtually had an economical monopoly in the mediterraenian area..

Anyhow, this isn't really my best age, so I'm not going to try to dig deeper and make mistakes tongue
