This too shall pass.

What's an unreal American?

Some get confused with long words.

perpetrator, the guilty party, the doer of the misdeed, he who will be punished for his crime.

Yeah well you know what, I was referring to the UK but I don't really give a $hit

So same,same but different. Don't get hung up on democracy, it's just another name for mob rule and the mob is easily led, if you have 10 road sweepers and one professor of economics you'll have a road sweeper as your Finanz minister.

See what money can do in a democratic country.

I thought you wanted to set him on fire, make your mind up.

They died before anyone came forward to complain.

Whatever, throughout history there has always been a mass peoples migration due to wars or famine and it couldn't be stopped, even ancient Rome couldn't stop it with violence, the Angles, Jutes and Saxons wandert into Britain as did the so called Vikings which gave way to Dane law in Northern and Eastern England in the 9th century, Scots have a similar genetic make up as the Scandinavians while the English genetics have more in common with the Germans than the Welsh. As more parts of the world become unlivable due to poverty, war and/or climate change there will be an unstoppable human wave during this and the next century moving to more amenable climates. The Zulus caused mass migration in Africa during the last 200 hundred years due to their own territorial expansion so this is nothing new. As the Western demographics continue to be top heavy with old people this can be accommodated and will be, even Japan is now considering immigration as their numbers dwindle.

The insurance company wasn't to blame, they immediately confirmed they would pay, it was the American money grabbing ideology of the hospital that wanted an assurance from the German embassy first before they started treatment which caused the delay.

I don't think one would legally be able to discriminate.

How would that work, get an unemployed salesman in NY with family and move him hundreds of miles out to the country to plant potatoes, get an undergraduate just finished studying to pick apples?

Who are sophisticated enough to appreciate ageless classical music instead of noise.

She gave him the verbal finger and he gave her a physical reply.

I bet the farmers aren't happy, they might have to pay a living wage to Americans, providing they can find anybody to do the work, will also increase the price of food but that would go hand in hand with Trumps tariff policies.

A lot of tattoos......whatever.

Infantile, that'll teach her not to do it again. The courts administer justice not revenge.

So the whole of society is somehow guilty as well now?

Just a bare foot kick to the head by the look of it, put the little raver off his moves. The perp didn't look drunk, quite a karate kick for someone inebriated.

An undignified end.

Where's Davy Crockett when you need him.

When my wife here contracted TB the treatment at the local hospital was having no effect. My wife is privately insured so we went to a private hospital in Surin, after looking at the medication she had been getting for the last two months he said we can do better than that, it's a new European medication but it's very expensive, he hesitated for a few seconds and then said, you needn't pay up front, I'll deal with the insurance myself. He gave us the glass ampules, about 20 and written instructions for our local doctor concerning the injections and off we went, it took 2 or three weeks and she was cured, I never did find out what it cost.

Yes, I rather think it's typical American behaviour, the card he showed them had a contact telephone number and he begged them to contact his insurance but he was told that rather than rely on a German insurance company they didn't know they wanted written confirmation of payment from the German embassy so in the event of difficulties getting payment the German state as a 'gold standard' would have to pay. God help us if the NHS has any business dealings with the Americans.

I have a German friend who took a holiday in the USA, while riding a push bike a woman opened her car door without looking and he somersaulted over the door and landed on his back squashing nerves in his vertebrae, he couldn't feel his legs and was taken to hospital. After the examination the surgeon told him he had to be operated on his spine immediately to stop nerve damage otherwise he may never walk again. He was insured through his German company and had an insurance card to show them but they wouldn't operate until they had confirmation through the German embassy that they would be reimbursed. It took 4 days, he had to telephone his company who contacted the insurance to explained what had to be done, this was on a Friday evening (German time) the insurance telexed the German embassy with assurance of payment who then telexed the hospital. The operation was only partially successful due to the long wait, his right leg is normal but he has no feeling in the left leg, he now walks with a strange limp, a floppy left leg. If they had operated immediately as they would have done anywhere in "socialist" Europe he would have been fine......the surgeon was most apologetic.
