Umm, why are you defending Jurgen. From what I read, I never attacked him in
anyway. Hell, what you have quoted doesn't even involve Jurgen. I have agreed
with everything Jurgen has written with some exceptions (the American
comments).

Thats funny, seeing that I'm not the one in error here Joel. I think that I

Where do you live that its not a part of life? When you go out at night, you
don't worry about what may be around the next corner? As far as porn goes, did

anyway. 

Well, it looks like maybe you should read the posts more closely.
