<....I am OLD [look at my avatar], eppie when you post or reply, I take into consideration that English is not your first language, Am I correct? This is very important in a Debate, I would make every effort not to abbreviate words or use English Slang.
occhi said: Let's get back to what a "real job" is in your world that means Where you Live. To better understand your opinion I might take the time to Google or Wiki your country & it's job market..knowing your Age would also indicate to me your Experience in the Job market ;)
I am the across the street neighbor of Occhi, didn't you get that when seeing all our inside jokes? :)
I am a bit reluctant to put too much personal info on the internet. But I guess you are aware of the fact that I am dutch....I tend to mention that 5 or 6 times in every thread. However I am living a bit here and there, In July I will be in my fourth European country. And those are all countries with different languages of course.
Further I can say that the main reason that I like the lounge is that it is the easiest way to have 'contact' with intelligent people from across the pond. I of course am convinced that Europe is better than the US:D, but because I am very much a globalist, and probably have visited more US states than many other lurkers here, I am very much enjoying debating here. It makes one think, and keeps one sharp. One thing are the figures of speech and typical sayings. Many of them don't ring a bell to me the first time I read them....but if so, I usually ask for an explanation....I'd rather hear some new things than that the language would be brought down to some simple level. I am by the way very happy that here we don`t speak in msn language.....in my 5 years on the lounge I still have no idea what an 'a33or' is.....and I would like to keep it that way.
