L. Marcus Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I like our winters -- as long as the Baltic doesn't totally freeze over and drops us in the -30s. Having a cold in the middle of it all was no picnic for my bronchi. I almost ended up as my own patient in the lung ward! ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Supposedly. At least, that was the fear. Was it really that way? I have my doubts, because the people who announced that loudly are also the people who stood to gain politically from people believing it. With the media's latter-day demonization of all political thought left of, oh, Warren G Harding, the mere suggestion that the question needs examination will get you branded as traitorous.

Cancer Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I mean, it's a different sort of scandal, but it's really hard to top the Belgian Dutroux scandal and its appearance of the Belgian justice system's complicity with the murders and sex crimes.
