Nothing. WHat could she do?

I am sure a tourist with a platinum card and an arsefull of American lucre would/could find everything 5x5?

There is a difference between a tourist with money and a student on a scholoarship.

It's all in the card's credit limit.;)

He assumed...something he does often. :rolleyes:

And of course...the students were suppose to challenge the profs or the other students to a duel.

I've been to Europe as a tourist and on business. Never been treated anything but gracious. University enviornments are different. I could not afford to travel to Europe when I was a student. They tend (both here and abroad) to be more radical - to see things in black or white with no gray.

So tell me...I don't have a platinum credit card - not even a gold one (silly waste of money in my opinion...) what is the difference between a student and a tourist? Is this from your personal experience or another assumption? And how much is a arseful?

But we digress. Let's get back on topic. To summarize...

George Bush was a disgrace. His administration was an embarrassment and set back relations for the US with most other countries of the civilized world.

Some have said the reason the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to President Obama was a rebuke to Bush.

Many people traveling outside the US had felt - directly or indirectly - the opinion many nations hold of President Bush - and some - by extension - the people of the nation who elected him (or allowed him to be appointed by the Supreme Court.)

Others are shocked - SHOCKED - that any people would have a negative opinion of citizens of a country based on the action of the elected government of that country. (Thankfully none of those countries have thought of invading the US for purpose of "regime change"!)

Done.

Back to the Nobel Peace Prize?

The NPP should have been given to the Nuclear Bomb.
