I am an old guy and split my time between the states and Europe. Been doing that for the last 24 years. Until I started going to Europe I didn't realize how great the western Europeans have it...I do my best to pass that on to Americans but they just won't believe it...but anyway, I am told this is a good board and thought I would give it try.

Hi, Rational, and welcome! It's great to see a new face.

thanks for the good words...I have been many places in the world..38 countries , lived (at least 3 months ) in 8 different countries..really more a citizen of the world than American. There are so many great places and I found that people are very much alike in all parts of the world..meaning they are good folks ...one can live anywhere in the world if you are rich, if you are not, I am not, the best places to live for quality of life are the western European countries, Australia and Canada..

I'm pretty sure I've already met you somewhere - please remind me where, if you don't mind.

Hello Ducky M!
Think our paths may have crossed Politics Discussion Forum - Politicians & Philosophers (Downpuppy/N Sengupta?) And think I would agree about the age thing. 13.7 billion and still gettin' around the way ya do! Hats off. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away...

Hi Ducky, my God you are older than me , by two years...who would have thought. I like George Burns take on age, he said: "I can't avoid getting older, but I don't have to get old."
I agree Answer to your question. I have been around on these boards for some time. On ATT until is shut down. Lycos in the earlier days...we used used to have a marvelous time in the Philosophy and Religion chat room. |

George Burns... "Oh God!"... a completely pragmatic theologian... not one getting his marching orders from a burning bush... or a burning Bush...
Would undoubtedly have made a much better president than the other George!

That was in Ducky's first thread. The one about Christianity and Jesus, where we talked about everything except the topic.
