RE: Newbie Intro
I know it is - part of my family actually settled there for a time in the 17-1800's and I wanted to do a little research into that while I was there and see the Royal Gardens in bloom... [sigh]

RE: Newbie Intro
I hope you're not expecting the country to be the same as it was back then. Some of it is, admittedly, but parts of it have changed a bit. I've heard rumours that one or two places have even got electricity.
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

Spending your life waiting for the messiah to come and save the world is like waiting around for the straight piece to come in Tetris. Even if it comes, by that time you've accumulated a mountain of shit so high that you're fucked no matter what you do.

Remember, if we don't sin, poor old Jesus died for nothing.

Welcome too from California where there are lots of everything. I'm near San Francisco so lots less bible thumpers. They're here too of course - so we keep the doors locked. But here there seem to be plenty of rational folk too. (Living in a university town might warp my perspective, of course it also warps the taxes I pay.)

Welcome from a D.C. native living in Wisconsin but who lived in parts of the bible belt himself. I know your pain; join me in spraypainting "god hates everyone" on churches at 3am? Big Grin
