Europe (Continental) - October 2007

All too often people with medical tragedies cannot afford their medical bills. We sometimes see public appeals for money which have been organized for these people.
Of course, not everyone in that situation is able to have such a fundraising event organized for them, so the financial consequences for them are even more serious.
Do you think the frequency with which Americans find themselves in that situation is an indication that our health care system is seriously flawed?

I was reading up on these beautiful Islands - they are placed roughly between Northern Scotland, Iceland and Norway, (and they are actually about about 200 miles north of Scotland.) Anyway, I read on wikipedia that they have cool summers (understandable), but mild winters!!!

I found this very odd as I would have thought that the winters would be freezing and they would have had loads of snow. How come they don't? is it anything to do with Faroe being a group of small islands and everywhere on them being only a couple of miles from the sea or something? it just seems odd that they should have 'mild' winters when Scotland and the North of England have very harsh ones?

Thanks...

Thanks guys :0)

Now if it is good enough for the US and other nations to take on Terrorists on foreign soil and lets not be mistaken here the PKK are terrorists as precribed by the EU, The US, Australia and other nations, and if there in fact is a true adherence to the concept of the Rule of Law at International Law and each Nation State has the Right of Self Defence should Turkey and her allies / "coalition of the willing" go into Northern Iraq and clear the area of ALL TERRORISTS ? Would it not be the US's interests to stop the IED bombers etc ??

For example:-

Armenians keep writing everywhere what Hitler supposedly had said, (i.e Who remembers the Armenians) but it has never been proven to be true.

The Allied legal staff at the Nüremburg War Crimes Tribunal had rejected the claim as they knew it to be false, having captured Nazi documents and even people who were at Hitler’s meeting (August 26, 1939). Also, the statement made no sense since Hitler was vilifying the Poles, the people whose nation he was about to order invaded. Finally, Hitler didn’t even mention the Jews in his speech. The Nazis were not ready to make the official decision for the Final Solution (die Entloesung) of the Jews; that decision would come about two years later, at the Wannsee Conference in Berlin.

For further Armenian forgeries and falsifications look at the following link.

Turkey has so much evidence that shows that the Armenian genocide is a lie and that Armenians actually slaughtered Turks and they sabotaged and fought against the Turkish military for the Russians. How come the rest of the world turns a blind eye to this evidence?

My parent's say that it doesn't make a difference if it happened or not for them, it's all politics.

George Bush said he would recognize the so-called Armenian Genocide when he was running for President. Now that Turkey is an ally and helping the US with Iraq he doens't want to pass the bill. It's just a big game for them. Once they don't need Turkey anymore they will think about passing it again...
