[s-cars] Re: Very funny. For those who knows languages, that's it

[Bjørn Eirik Ødegård]

Oh..
As a 100% Norwegian, (or member of mankind for that matter..;o)) I'm not in any way offended, Igor!!! (OTOH, I might just get really angry and de-list if you call me a dumb-ass for not understanding the joke! Will continue in lurk-mode just to see if anyone calls me names or such, though.. ;o)
I also must say that the Norwegians are no better than anybody else. Probably..

I'm _very_ amused to see that almost all of you guys who consider yourselves 'American' are in fact quite often 12.5/25/50/100% 'foreign'! (Just check out the names!)
After 9/11 I felt that the attacs were in fact an attac to mankind itself, and not to the 'big bad American nation', as America is in fact not only 'the land of the free' (with some minor exceptions..) but also the land of many cultures.
History have showed us that tolerance/respect and conflicts are in the 'opposite corners', and mankind is wandering somewhere between.
I think humour is a kind of 'lever' to yank people back into the 'Tolerance'-corner, and there's nothing better than a good laugh. (I guess angry people don't laugh much..)

'Nuff said, to sum it up: Keep up the good work, wether it's jokes, harrasments, Audi discussions, pissing contests, NAC-messages or plain chit-chat! (There must be a reason why we cope with all those messages every day.. ;o)

Regards,
Bjorn  :o)
