[QUOTE=MJG Dogs]If you want to speak English with people then hit LDV and talk to the gringos. At this time you really do not want to get into political discussions with any other group, especially europeans, for they have a blind hatred of US foreign policy and feel that we should run our country like there's, you know appease appease appease. I would recommend an interesting group to converse with would be the younger Israeli's whom many are on holiday, from military service. they are an interesting group with strong opinions, however they are much more balanced than talking to the Europeans, whom think we are all the Great Satan. You would have not belived the shit that came of out of couple of Italians in Cartagena last summer, how they believe that we kill poor people, that people die in our streets of starvation, un beliveable, and then of course they played the " fucking american jew" card, even though I was born a catholic. I reminded them that it was Italians that mugged and beat American tourists in Naples, where as nobody here bothers Italians visiting.
It is your call to talk politics while on vacation.. Not recommended IMHO[/QUOTE]
Where did I say politics? I didn't mention that word. I don't discuss politics (except to mention a quick blurb about the dumbass we have for a president).
I was in Europe 2 weeks after September 11th. Trust me, I know how we're hated.
Why would I want to hangout with someone from Israel that probably hasn't showed in a week and looks like it too?
