Hi!

The questions dont surprise me Tas. I used to get asked how long it took to drive to Puerto Rico...

...until I mentioned it was an island.... :D

Primarch,

That's OK. I meet people all the time who think that the only that ever happens in Israel is terrorist attacks.

When I tell them that they have a greater chance of passing away in a car wreck in the United States, they are absolutely dumbfounded.

When in Europe, Europeans never beleive me when I tell them the same (greater odds to die in an accident in Europe than to die in Israel from a terrorist attack) unless they are frequent travelers.

I spoke with a woman from Indonesia (and Canada) yesterday and she was very surprised that I knew the political history (albeit a base rough draft of it) of her former country. We chatted about the Pacific Rim. I told her my degree in International Relations is good for something other than collecting dust.

And then there are all of those stereotypes about Californians that get forwarded... LOL :D

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi!

Very true Maksim, stereotypes and mis-information abound. Its somewhat sad how little informed or "ignorant" the general public is on things they should know better.

For the record...

...I wish they all could be California... GIRLS! (from the David Lee Roth video)... :D

Primarch.

I hate to go OT (Off topic), but...

...I wish they all could be California... GIRLS! (from the David Lee Roth video)... ?


I don't think you guys have seen any of the "California" girls in my neck of the woods with mustaches or sausage noses. And then we have the "mall blimps" who don't watch their wieight and are obese. And then...

Don't get me wrong, California probably does have more than its' fair share of beautful women.

Of course many of those (physically) beautiful women ended up here for Hollywood and have decidedly unbeautiful empty heads and a profound lack of values. There's another class of those women who are artifical through and through and PURCHASED their bodies... yuck!

Botox is nasty stuff!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I think that the case pretty much worldwide Maksim! :laugh:

I have a question for the Yanks:
If this is the Land of the Free then why cant I...

* Drink in a bar after 2am, or
* Have beer and watch nude girls at the same time

I know California is a bit more puritan than other States, but in a state where they cant randomly breathalise drivers for alcohol it seems a mitchmatch of where priorities lie

I'm not having a go at "y'all", it just seemed odd to me...

Well that's about the way it is in most states, Tas ... but it never made sense to me either. ???  Some weird puritanical holdover !   And as Tas said Maksim, it's the same all over, some hot, some not ... but I can say that, and not be a sexist pig !  I'm the designated ugly fat friend ... my buds don't see me as competition when we are at the bars, clubs, etc.  It's a cruel hard world !   :laugh:

Hi!

Beauty, like brains, is a comodity in the US, that like anything else can be marketed and exploited. There's not much doubt in this. Some so called "bimbos" are quite savvy when it comes to making money of their looks. Some others are less adept at doing it.

I seriously doubt when men look and think about these women that their values or lack thereof is an issue. They are not meant to be "wife" material. But material of another sort...

....yeah, you KNOW what I mean.... :;):

Tas called me tonight from San Diego!

We had a great conversation! He is doing very well, having a good time, and involved in some great training exercises and operations.

That's what's great about this site and the internet... Tas and I have never met face to face and this is the first time we spoke, but we talked like we have know each other for years!

He heads back home this weekend, but not before seeing the new LoTR movie! So the link-up on the land-line was successful! :;):

Hi Guys,

I'm at LA International awaiting my Sydney flight after a great 3 weeks or so here. ?Have had a very productive time professionally and I think I have managed to drink or eat at almost all of the downtown bars in San Diego in my offwatch time ?:laugh:

Thanks to the 'Septics' for their hospitality...I especially liked being able to watch LOTR3 and Battlestar Galactica before they are released in Australia and can now tease my mates about it and threaten to give spoilers :p

It was a pity I didnt manage to travel as much as I wanted to and take to Maksim's offer of a bed, but I'm sure other opportunities will present themselves in due course. ?

Great talking to you L4, I agree with all your points. ?That 45mins went very quickly indeed.

So goodbye y'all, I'll be back next year!

Oh Yes, had a great time talking to Tas... we have never met face to face but it appears we are "cut from the same cloth!"

As I said, it was like we have known each other for years. Thanks again for the call, Tas! :D
