The following are real things that have been said to me since I arrived here in the States from the UK. I thought they were funny and worth posting...it's quite strange the concepts or is that misconceptions some people have about us foreignors
Have you ever had a Mcdonalds cheeseburger?
Have you ever eaten barbecue food before?
Have you ever seen snow before!!?? (England right!!!lol)
Do you have malls in England? I quite enjoyed responding that where I lived (Newcastle) there is the largest shopping mall in Europe
Do you get the Rolling Stones in England?
Do you have New Years Eve in England!!!!!!????
And my personal favourite>>>>>>>
Do you celebrate the 4th July in England!!!!!!!?????

Someone really neurotic, like a Woody Allen character?
Nope but here is a bit more dialogue from the movie
I can't go on the rest of my life being a semi-virgin.
- What in the name of all that's gracious is a semi-virgin?
Here I'm a virgin, in America I'm not.
- What do they do, stamp it on your passport?
Woody is in the movie though yes and I have included some os his diaglogue above
Whats New Pussycat?
-
Peter Andre and Jordan....Well, I guess you might base your romance on this couple if you were a complete and utter gobshite!!!
-
Hint please?
ok lets see>>>>>>
sheep
Have you ever seen any of your victims?You know, I never feel comfortable on these sort of things. Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Tell me. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man. Free of income tax - the only way you can save money nowadays.
I wanted to add one cause its one of my fave movies, long but its an awesome quote
Thats The Third Man, and don't push in

I think a lot of people say they are Christians, but they do not live their lives as Christians, or live it as Christians when they are in the church. This is what has given a lot of people a bad taste. If you say you are a Christian, you need to act it.
Makes for an interesting question:
When you hear the word Christian, what do you immediately think of? I remember in college being asked to name the first word that came to your mind when hearing another word. I wonder what the general perception is about the word Christian.
Now see...this needs to be a totally different thead lest I get in trouble

Don't give up!!! It took my mum about 30 years (on and off of course ), a fair few driving schools (most of whom said she'd NEVER drive) and 6 driving tests!!! Now she steams about no probs
Get back on that horse and go for it!!!

What wonderul news! Many Congratulations

This Thread will most likely be taken over by the Non-believers and then closed unfortunetly.
Funny how peeps in VJ can post all kinds of bashing but say something good or say your a Christian and you get put down. sighs Oh well.
I must say I find that statement a tad harsh! Personally I'm a 'non-believer', yet wouldn't dream of attacking anyone for their personal views ( it takes allsorts and all those other cliches right?). Unless I'm sadly mistaken, and I don't think I am, I have never seen anyone 'put down' a christian (or any other religion actually). I have seen people try to debate some issues when they're put out there (we are all adults right??? We can engage in rational debate??), or I've seen threads where the bashing certainly appears to be the other way round. Either way on a public forum you can expect things to be said that you may not like or agree with, I'm not sure it constitutes an attack!!!
If people believe that God helped them through then good for them, personally for me it was good advice, a good sounding board (with VJ) inner strength and fortitude, oh and maybe that good old British stiff upper lip
