Chauvinism derives from one Nicolas Chauvin, a devoted admirer of Napoleon, right or wrong. Sure. Still, in everyday use, it's what I said above. Not in the "everyday use" of those who really know what it means. I guess you are telling the rest of us who don't know then? Indeed. ML :-) (AKA presomptuous... Oh well.) |

Marie Lewis muttered....
Exactly what is wrong with being "anti-religious" then? It's simply a prejudice, just like racism. Depends on how anti-religious you are, I suppose. Vile epithets, OK; but physical attacks on the LDS and Jehovah's Witness missionaries that come to your front door, not acceptable (especailly if you poor kerosene on them and threaten'em with a barbecue lighter).....

Following up to James Robinson
Note the *three* separate attempts at hitting high-speed rail in Europe in the last few weeks (the Spanish bomb, the French extortion attempt, and the German derailing try). All low-dollar, minimal effort, high-return operations. Again, my question. Why wouldn't other terror groups have taken advantage of that, if things are so easy to achieve an end result. Its worth noting that even adding in terrorist casualties its still much safer in a train than in a car. Were we to stop using trains to defeat terrorism, it would just move somewhere else where groups of people are together until we just hid alone in our homes. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Walk-Photo-Wasdale-Thames- Walk-eat-drink-London "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Following up to Marie Lewis
this is an english language ng. -- Is it? What about people who do not speak English? Are they barred? Who says so? If non english speakers were to post in another language, that would be one thing. You posted in French when you could have posted in English, your native language. Polite people in multi lingual environments switch to the language that they speak that is most easily understood by the listener. You did the opposite..... -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Walk-Photo-Wasdale-Thames- Walk-eat-drink-London "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

In fact, if you stopped using trains, it would mean that terrorism is defeating you, rather. One of the keys to fight terrorism is to go on with your lives and let intelligence handdle the terrorists (yes, intelligence - not a massive military offensive; you must infiltrate the terrorist organizations and fight them from within. And after you've taken care of their leaders that way, you may later mount a military offensive to finish off any isolated pockets of terrorists that may remain.
