Well, let's say "many girls".

I don't like the humor as produced by people like Adam Sandler and Jim Carey or in the movie American Pie. That type of humor disgusts me for some odd reason.
Haven't seen any of those at a cinema. And I zap by instinct every time I see Jim Carrey's face (he's rather popular at Spain, don't ask me why)
That said, I like many films, from Chaplin's Gold Rush to nowadays Hidalgo. Every time has its bunch of good movies, as well as of forgettable ones. I'm sure Carrey's films will survive (Jerry Lewis' did), but most of the crap currently in the front page won't.
Hey, Sherlock Holmes, ask that girl in ten or twenty years about good films again. She may have changed her point of view by then. IMAGE(biggrin0.gif)

My first language is Spanish. I studied French and Latin at school, and a little German later. English is just something I use to read in my spare time, and I've only heard it at Oxford English cassettes and a few movies.
But I've noticed the worst in grammar in these boards are we non English speakers, while the worst spelling is that of some native speakers ("Your soilders, wanna a mesion?")

Nothing. At Spain the traditional day for "xmas" presents is January 6, the Epiphany celebration, though we call it "Día de Reyes" (Magis' Day). :)

What does 'American' mean for you? I was born in Chili, which is an american country, but for too many people 'America' means only 'U.S.A.'.
Oh, and don't call 'North America' to the U.S.A. & Canada anglosaxon couple. Mexico is in North America too. Just too many people I know mistakes Latin America with South America. IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards How many of you are___1_files/mad.gif)

Literally? "Mortales cum acribus metallicis rerum pungimus".
It would sound better if you change "metallicis rerum" (metal items) for "gladiis" (swords), though.

Judaism (...) it is, unfortunately, heavily influenced by the struggle for survival of a small and poor nation. "There is only this One God of ours, only these Commandments, only this Scripture!"

Actually, it started as "We worship this only God, Who beats those pitiful gods of sinful Egyptians, Babylonians or Persians."

quote:
Northern Europe has thrown off the yoke of the Church, and enjoys greater freedom and prosperity than Southern Europe, which was severely damaged not only by Christianity, but also by Islam. It is amazing how far you can get with "you'll get a pie in the sky when you die"...

Southern Europe countries are acconfessional nowadays (safe the Vaticano Estate, of course IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards Christianity and the West_files/biggrin.gif) ). The differences you note about Southern and Northern Europe are more related to the crags between Catholicism and Protestantism, as well as to certain political ways (i.e., the ballast of southern caciquism) that go back to pre-Roman times.

The Greeks adopted many achievements of the oldest developed societies (such as Egypt), and added an emphasis on freedom and science; Christian theology was a huge step backwards.
So, the people who in Athenas (motherland to democracy) and at 399 b.C. condemned Socrates to death because he "perverted the youth" must have been christians... IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards Christianity and the West_files/biggrin.gif)

Actually, I've seen more than a few edits of my own existing pics running as 'original' in the graphic contests. So far, 'edited graphic' seems to be any pic edited from a Spidweb existing graphic.
