  French finally get Balls !!!

  yes, friends, the almighty french have redeeemed themselves as they resoundly reject the european union constitution ... and because french socialism is proving a dismal failure, not unlike its soviet communist counter-part, their cronie president, jacque chirac, has resigned.

  yes, sir, it looks like a new "pro-american" frenchman will become the next president of france.

  which means that the french are willing to take some serious risks, ( get some big brass balls in american-ese) and align themselves more with capitalist usa.

  Is Early Christianity the Basis For JW Practices?

  by OldSoul in

  early christianity: what was it like?

  did the early christians ask the public for donations to fund their ministry or other works?.

  did the early christians encourage believers to distribute communications from the apostles and older men in jerusalem to the public as a primary part of their ministry?.

  JW's do this. Their religion and their orthodoxy is a series of cut and paste freeze-frames artificially put into a sequence to tell a story according to their own peculiar taste for things.

  Wow. THank god my left agnular gyrus is doing fine. Good metaphor, Terry.

  Sure, you mean something along the lines of "to take French pride in something"?

  Sort of like "throwing the baby out with the bath". Now, what would be the French idiom for that, Narkissos?
  
  Edited to add:
  
  BTW, I really think Chirac has "lost his chance to shut up" to use his turn of the phrase (used when Poland and other Eastern European countries dared to take a position on Iraq). From what I've been told, the more he and the prime minister advocated the constitution, the more Yes voters were disappearing. LOL.

  EF,
  

  I'm glad you've done your homework. You sound like an American who is relatively well-informed about European matters.

  France and Germany (or rather their helpless leaders) have yet to realize that they come across as utterly ridiculous over here when instead of lowering taxes in their own countries they want to raise ours. So I wouldn't worry about what France or Germany hope to impose. We're not a country of the size of Malta after all and we have an opinion of rather steadfast negotiators in the EU.

  Honestly, I think the No vote will backfire on the Frenchies just as their Nato referendum strengthened the position of Germany. As I sad, the sad thing is that the majority of French people had no idea of what they were refuting or accepting.

  Q,
  
  I see.
  
  EF,
  
  I didn't know an obligatory common tax policy is in the constitution. I thought the UK and other countries didn't agree to have it included. Looks like I have to have another go at reading the treaty.
  
  
  From what they're saying on the news, 55% were against. Wow. One needs to respect that, although I'm sure most of the voters had not the slightest idea of what they were voting against. This is partly the fault of the EU beauraucrats.
  
  What's next?

  Oh yeah - I figured there must be a reason for "kissing the oniony butts".
  
  And the major reason why you're no big fan of it is?

  The funny thing is that the voting is not about the constitutional treaty. I assume QCMBR you've read the treaty? (I've only managed to read through some 20 pages so far).
