  2. Spending a few years in an American Cult might possibly be the sign of a “well rounded” education? But spending...too much time in a cult has to be considered an ill spent youth!
  3. And in the process save the US Tax Payer Billions$$$
  4. Subject: The “Anti-Christ”! Will it be HUMAN or a MACHINE?? Or something Extra Territorial? Maybe a Middle East Religious Figure? Will “IT” control from the Pulpit, Wall Street, or Militarily? How will we know when “IT” has arrived? Will there be a Television Broadcast or Internet communication from the Twi-light Zone notifying us? How many languages will “IT” speak, what color skin, food preferences...etc? What do you think are the “Signs of the Times” which will lead us to know that these are indeed the “Last Days”? Happy 4th of July!
  5. Why not just read this article? http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/...few-follow.html

  8. Question: WHO are the people responsible for Holocaust denial being legislated as a hate “crime” in the first place? Not a difficult question when you consider the legal and economic force being used to create such laws. Since the ‘70’s I have lived in one European country or another. No question for me. Being politically correct in my experience is less of a subject here than in the USA. The reason might be because there are less “foreigners” living in European “culture” states as a whole. It is not a “melting pot” mentality. The idea of culture being handed down for more than a thousand years from one generation to the next, is not an American social trait. (Maybe that’s why the old “WASPY” system gets repeatedly attacked by the newbies?) Also, people in general don’t go around suing each other when they feel they can make some money on petty issues like that guy in NYC with a Chinese laundry problem. Another Question: What would have happened in LA that night if OJ had been found guilty? I don’t think too many caucasians would have been found walking the streets that night debating the legal issues! As for religion, northern Europe is generally Protestant Lutheran and the southern part Catholic. It’s been that way for a long time. Cults are for the most part an American phenomena. That in itself should tell you something about being “Politically Correct”? Final Question: What would it have meant to be “politically correct” in a cult atmosphere like twi? It's raining in Zarko country and the Tour de France has begun!

    Table Wine

    Never vacation in a country that doesn’t produce it’s own wine”! I forgot who told me that, but I think it works? Napoleon apparently enjoyed Gevry Chambertin by the glass. I don’t know if he paid more than $12 dollars a bottle though! An interesting wine book to read is, Nazis, Wine & War. I forgot the name of the author, but a good book covering the deals made from before, during and after WWll. Also if you have a chance to visit Bordeaux during the bi-annual wine expo, you will meet the industry and have a great time doing it! Bordeaux and Burgundy wines are really worlds apart, and I think difficult to compare. But like all wines in Europe you can spend a lot of time and money learning what you like!
  10. Bonjour Mademoiselle Ex, Bumpy has your candle light birthday dinner organized for tonight! It starts with a bottle DP, followed by terrine of volaille. Your entre’e is a choice of Noix de St. Jacques Poelees or the Magret de Canard. For dessert there is a large selection, Pavlova, Crepes, Mousse au chocolat, Nougat Praline, or the over the top cheese plate. The wines are Meursault 2000 and the Pommard 1983. If you have any personal requests please let us know before noon, as the guest list is growing and the Champagne must be kept flowing! Happy Birthday!!
  11. Before I fall asleep, maybe the silence is so deafening because the subject matter has become so completely boring? Whether it’s fought out here or in the courts of hell, does it matter? I think there are more interesting chestnuts to be roasted in the gutters of za next French chateau...in Beaune, http://www.chateaudemelin.com/

    Song of the moment

    We have organized the Ipod with around 5000 songs from such genres as Jazz (modern, ballads), pop, rock ‘70’s to 90’s, disco, Euro/World, classical, folk, African, etc. So I have lots to choose from depending on the f e e l i n g...ohohoh feeling...Anyway, I like it played on my Bose, but that’s in Africa. So now it’s either the car or the laptop!
  13. A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. > > After carefully planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied: "Monsieur, that's the reason I stole the paintings. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh." (And you thought I didn't have De Gaulle to send this to you!) Remeber Sat. Night Live and the Cone Heads...Tell them you're from France! Well, everything's a tradeoff, right?
  14. Now before I head out the door on my next chateau hunt, I expect some business replies. I'm "in" for 300, but I need some additional $$$ and I 'aint callin no Ohio number for help! There must be some business people reading who can outline a feasibility study for a chateau hotel which can be bought and operated for the next 2-3 years without additional funding. Lots of Americans and Europeans love to stay in these places. This one is booked until November. Anyway, French families cannot afford to run them anymore. That's why so many are for sale!
  15. That is the one I'm living in and probalbly can be bought for 1.2 million. But the inside is not so interesting and too many Dutch clients! Folks, I need help here from the GS BrainTrust. $$$ has to be raised. There must be at least 10 of you GS guys and Gals with Euros 300 thousand cash, who have played the markets well over the last few years and need a home up-grade!
  16. Dear Folks, As professional former cultists and members of GS, I thought it might be fun to design a business plan for a European Cult Headquarters here in La Belle France! The first thing obviously is Location! Something that will grab the attention of potential cult “followers”, and what better way than your very own Cult Chateau! Next...The $$$. We need to organize the financing, probably 2-4 million Euros. Not a large amount for some US Cult operations. But nonetheless important for the extras like a LARGE swimming pool, tennis courts, and at least a 9 hole golf course! We will need administrators, gourmet cooks, cleaners, gardeners, general handy workers, etc. Most of you know how the operation needs to work. The below link will give you an idea of what’s available in just this region. http://www.moulin.nl/property_for_sale_auv...3&mode=list So please help me build my cult business plan. There’s a LOT of experienced people out there, and lots of Chateaux for sale here in France. Maybe to be used as a retirement “home” for former cultists?

    A night at the opera

    Classical music works quite well for me after driving over km 10,000 from Senegal through to Sweden and back to France (3,400 km in West Africa). We live on the west wing of the link below, next door to the resident ghost who is preferential to violins! Music floats through old buildings like these with candle light and Burgundy wine adding to the evening. Bourbon is the department 03, and dinner tonight is the Charolais beef and whatever else you want! Bump www.grandmonceau.com
  18. Greetings from La belle France where the sun is trying to shine! I thought the below link might make some of you smile? This video makes me wonder what each of us has been given as a talent(s) but because time in our youth was poorly invested or we had to wear a hat at work to get by for the money, that talent never surfaced all the way. All the Best
  19. No, I just make it up as I go along...but this link might be a little more relaxing? http://www.eightprinciples.com
  20. I try to share a little of my life with you people at GS, but it really doesn’t go down so easily, esp. with the mods. I sit in the poverty of Islamic West Africa with the “fates” always awaiting to eat me on the roads, but especially at border crossings. The Gambia, Mauritania, Mali, and Morocco come up next with renewed Islamic problems, most recently in Casablanca. One false move and you have a problem. There is no rule of law as you know it. You live by chance, the payoff and you hope you can get to the next point. Within the next 7 weeks I want to be in Kiruna in Sweden and a two day trek to Kebnekaise...all by 4x4 through the Western Sahara! 10.000 km. The payoff is the Arctic helicopter flight on 22 June, summer solstice at 1000ft above the mountains!
  21. Africa is a little tough for me at times, but I really sometimes miss saying how I feel. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you... and some of the other people who post here.
  22. Bump just wants to know how the "Highway Girl" is doooing! I forgot to say...I think you are a very smart girl! Best, Bump Sorry if this is somewhat off topic! I've had over 10 hours of power cuts here today...and that means no water as well!
  23. I love this...”everyone should be armed especially in Vermont” That’s great except if you don’t live in Vermont when it comes time to shoot! Really, he has slanted eyes and writes strange papers when not taking pills to control his “discontent”, but he has a Green Card! No, let me guess, everyone should come to class with a 9mm! I keep hearing your solutions, especially if you have a ‘02 before your GS registration date, but maybe I’m missing the point? Maybe the next “shooter” is just going to try and break the previous death record! It’s going to become a PC game! And you’all are going to keep trying to figure it out! Please, volunteer for the Sudan! It’s open season!
