Eeeg. I have nothing against Euro's except when they're F.O.S.
Let's see. Who was is it that perfected the art of starting
wars? China? No. Middle East? No. Japan? No. Africa? No.
I think you're just a little annoyed because the U.S. perfected
the art of finishing wars. Also, thanking Gods is impolite in
sci.physics. Everyone is clueless about the structure you are
referring to.

Think Pepijn. Think. I know, or assume, that Europeans get taught
math. Don't let my name fool you either. I don't own a gun. But,
that's saying that I think guns are evil.

Don't be exporting your trash. Euro's come in two classes.
The real people and the dainty. There's always mistaking
dainty for culture.
