Furius Venator Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I shouldn't worry about it, it's an easy mistake to have made given that English isn't your first language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tflex Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'm a Christian Lebanese myself, to prevent our extinction, we fought for 15 years against local muslims who allied with the Palestinians and Syrians to wipe us out. We resisted, but payed a heavy price in terms of human life. I'm proud of it and I'm proud of the crusades before us, they were righteous. Barbaric acts were commited on both sides, thats what happens in wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaius Octavius Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I shouldn't worry about it, it's an easy mistake to have made given that English isn't your first language. I am, just a kid I am really emberassed now. No apology necessary, kid. Most Americans can niether read, write nor speak English. A 'certain party' manages to mangle the language daily. He has degrees from Yale and Harvard. Since he won't, I apologize for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameses the Great Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) Thank you very much, I'm still in high school. Obviously you can see that English is not my strong point. But I like you guys because we all share the common bond of loving history. P.S. Gaius Octavius thank you, if you've noticed I always agree with you. You usually in my opinion are right.

Gaius Octavius Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Rameses, one of the best ways to learn English is to read Dickens and Jane Austen; American, Mark Twain. Good luck, kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I should apologize to Dickens for my strong dislike of him but I won't apolgize because of my strong dislike of him. Vlad Tepes impaled lots of turks, but also many romanians, bulgarians and germans. As a revange, his brother Radu the Beautifull was impaled often by Mehmet II Fatih. Speak of decaDance.

My Dear Kosmo: How many times could Mehmet impale Radu? Or are you speaking of the 'Biblical' sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pertinax Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) Sodom and Gommorah , yes? a biblical reference of course to their "unpardonable activities" , and also the the title to one of Marcel Proust's volumes in "A la recherche" -for reasons that are fairly obvious after the first page or two.

Rameses the Great Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Sodom and Gammorrah was burned for immorality and homosexuality. It never happened again in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Dear Octavianus The story of young Radu the Beautifull it's about those biblical cities of the plain. After he got older he was sent by his friend to rule Valachia. This made angry his neighbour from Moldova, Stefan The Great, that had hired Vlad's gipsy impaler, so Stefan invaded Valachia defeated Radu and captured his daugther that, after he got the divorce from his preavious marriage, he married. This romantic chap did never apolgized for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
