Funny

Ah ok. Now the chocolate sends me to Belgiem (is this right?the name) but the beer would be more like germany. What's kaaskrotten?lol

the mysterious land of chocolate, beer, waffles and kaaskroketten... is that belgum?

no to both

where are you from happy kine?

florida, usa... the sunshine state.

not bad I like it there

Nice happy kine. How is the wheather today?lol I the water warm in those parts? Your turn yerssot where are you from?

i'm in an office (bla!) and i can throw a rock into the ocean (gulf of mexico - atlantic ocean is 3 hours drive away) its overcast right now but still warm. the beach water is perfect.

I thought I already said it

it's a big mystery, so if I tell you, I have to kill you

Oh came on you gave us clues! Do tell?

chocolate... beer... waffles ... kaaskroketten...
there's nothing more worth mentioning about my stupid country now

Well I'm at home the weather is very warm for early june but the water is 1hour away and got no car! Blah besides water is cold! lol Atlantic ocean and all!

i've been through europe a few times... i like holland. i was there when they had some euro 2000 soccer... er... football tournament going on... i remember amsterdam being electric, when the dutch team won it was like when your home team here win the super bowl. but holland didn't win the whole thing. when the games were going on nothing was open and if it was they were glued to the t.v. it was something else, people from all over europe were there, i guess amsterdam was a host city...

Chocolate is good! chocolate is very good! My country one the other hand as nothing special.

Yeh that was good. love soccer or as we say football...lol
Portugal actually won agaist Holland if i remember correctly.I would love to go to amesterdam but so far a just kinda cruse spain, france and stayed in london for a bit.
I would also love to go to disney land. that's the florida disney not the french.

Thats where you've been yerssot?

I wish! heck of a lot of money!

Hey yerssot is life like really good where your from? Is switzerland it?

they make us believe it is, they're all liars I tell ya! all liars!!!

So what it is where they play in euro 2000?

it was in The Netherlands and in Belgium

I'm right you are a swiss?! Oh come on it seems really cool! kinda cold but...lol My country on the other hand it's like....rich peolpe robbing the poor!

I'm not swiss no

been in portugal once, for a day or three, don't remember much of it though

Yeh that was a good one Portugal should have won! great time we had and that stupid referee was like robbig to the french and says that a shot from 3meters away is stopped by xaviers hand on purppose!

ah yes, remember it again

can't clearly remember that phase but I remember not agreeing with the ref on that one

Lol was it like long time ago or to wasted to remember...well not a lot to see so!

long time ago, before I was allowed to drink alcohol

The guy was so lame! he even said in an interview that from what Portugal did in the secound half they did not deserve to win!!! I mean how lame is that!!! he was robbing for the world champions!!! Besides they where only world champions because the world cup 98 was in france! hey where carried during the tournement! And won against Brasil because the team was all freaked with what had happen to Ronaldo!

then you haven't started about South-Korea on the last WC

How old are you?

18
you?

what is the drinking age in most of Europe? i'm sure it varies if you even have one. here in the US the drinking age is 21 years old

They played really bad there! I mean the stars where all out of order like Figo and Rui Costa and still they pressed on and let them play I mean we have other good players.! and I haven't a clue has to what Joao Pinto was thinking when he punched the ref!!! lol I mean what an idiot!!! The gool kepeer realy sucks to, never liked him!

16 in Portugal.

So young! you are a baby! lol just kiding i'm 20!

don't know what Portugal did there exactly though

the south korea team got a LOT of rediculous decisions in their advantage!


18
it's 16 overhere though

in the world cup i was hoping team usa would pull the greatest upset in all sports history... but we lost to the germans, they had some great goalie or something... that was the only time i watched your football... and i woke up a 5 am to watch it... i'm a sucker for the home team, no matter the odds

Kahn yes

But you guys can like drive at 16! don't trust them with a beer bottle but trust them with a car! lol

Yeh his great!!! I still can't believe Portugal lost with the USA! But that ref also had some really wierd decisions! And yes corea was help...all home teams and the good teams like Brasil are! I mean they where carried all the way this last one!!!

true... most of them drink and drive anyway... d&d is the most common arrest here. my two little brothers came by my house yesterday (one is 19 and one is 24) they were buzzed and driving around because they didn't want to go home... needless to say i gave them a good beatdown to sober them up.

i think the driving age should be at leat 18...

they got through thanks to a redicilous decision in the game Brazil-Belgium, where Wilmots scored using a bicycle-kick, which was rejected for some reason

Probably the other players head was right there but yeh really bad refs there!

See here we have to be 18 to drive and it is very expensive, well for most people, to take a drivers license so most people just grab a taxi! And like in the first 2years if you are caught driving drunk say goodbye to your drivers license and wait like over 6month to take it again.

here is sooooo sprawled out you almost need a car. especially in florida, there is so much land people build out rather then up...

But i agree driving at 18 and drinking at 16 still kinda young but hey they don't even check so! and i don't like alcohol so!

What do you mean?How old are you ?

if you want to go to the corner store you have to drive... there is no walking. i'm 27 years

hello kes

lol no walking! how about taking the bus? lol I don't have a car i depend on my dad for that one! Blah and my dad's car is like really long! but a great drive. so usually bus for me except at night when my dad is home and at the weekend! It's all mine lol!

Ola!! wellcome! what's up?

the dust in my room

lol I hear you! So big movie buff?

Ola Kes, welcome.

Never been to Portugal it's on my to do list, but I do love Port.

What is worse is that you can legally have a child at 16 but cannot have a drink to celebrate until you are 18. You can legally have sex at 16 but you cannot watch a video that has graphic sex scenes in it until you are 18, how positively Bizarre.

Thank you.
Yeh you americans have some really wierd rules. Here we can drink at 16, drive at 18, there are a few movies that get 18 rating but noboby checks (is this right) so no difference there! lol I don't think theres a legal age for sex.
Sorry took me so long to reply but I have the flu so sleeped kinda late!

Oh and to the Port I don't like it! Not big on alcohol.

Excuse me, I'm not American.

Oh sorry kinda got that idea from all the laws you said. Where are you from?

England, still silly Laws

Oh. ok. oh ya You say drive at 18! sorry I'm still kinda wozy! lol I was kinda surprised that you knew what Porto is but hey! You want to come her?! Ah why? What do you Want to see?

alcohol of course

I want to go to as many different places as possible to visit different cultures and see nice things, plus to try the local beers.

The European championships might be a good reason to go over, if we qualify.

Ya 2004! It's not just qualify,you guys are having problems with the fans!
Can't wait to see the knew stadiums (is this right?) especialy the A nova Luz from Benfica.

We're not really famasous for our beer! Porto is about it!
Hello Yerssot! Hey I forgot one! Holland! Are you fro Holland?

He's from the land of Beer, chocolates, waffles and cheese croquettes. somewhere between France and Holland

you actually translate that into croquettes???? now it lost all it's charm

It's the closest I could come up with in English.

Ya he said that yesterday. Croquettes what is that? is it that small rool of meat?
Hey I think portugal plys today!

Man what is wrong with me tosay, my english is terrible!

See I can't even hit the right keys!!! :sad:

Well was right about the game, but it's the kids!

eh... here in america we have the craziest laws... each state gets to make the bulk of its own laws. so what you get is consertive states making crazy laws that prohibit things like, oral sex and sodomy (i guess they have peeping toms that watch to see if this is going on). there are also weird ones here in florida... just a few... Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.
A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.
If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.

Hey how old do you have to be to smoke? Is there a law on that?

to smoke cigs you have to be 18... all other smoking is banned (pot, crack and the like)

why not entirely forbid it then?

i don't think any of thoes should be forbidden...
i don't smoke cigs, but they just past a law that forbids smoking in a public place (bars and restaurants). smokers are up in arms... i could care less, do what you want just do it over there away from me... i smoke pot and wish that was legal. i've been to amsterdam and saw how thay do it... we need something like that here in the states

invade amsterdam

Yeh I don't some either and I wish it was forbidden in more public places. there is no law that says how old you have to be to smoke, I mean they are sold in machines so! But pot and stuff like that is forbidden! Amsterdam is like really free! Must be cool!

That is supposed to be smoke not some!
