Are there many of this kind of things? Why people is spending so many money just for this? It is just a love for rulers Idea, or a new marketing project? What do you think about it?
Non-English speaking 'Euro' I presume...

Now to answer everan's question (politely) yes this happens alot here. The majority of it is in a bid to bring the nation together, to make people who live here feel part of something. Whether it has the desired effect or not is another matter. But I like the intentions.

He contacted me via other means stating saying Andy had has banned him. Judging by the inactivity of certain prolific posters on the forum, it looks like Andy has binned several other members also as well. And looking around (coma)about several of the 'hot' threads from politics have been moved to FC. So Andy is lurking.
I;d (would) say there's be delete at at least one reincarnation already, but they're not doing a very good job of hiding, traits are sneaking through, but I'll hold judgment for now lol

This world is gonna become a s**t because people like you. If you still focus on the shape of things instead of taking care to understand the substance of it, you just prove your ignorance much more than any kind of mistakes in English language I can write in my life. Check ideas of Noumeno and Fenomeno of Kant, if you can't understand my bad English.

Sage, is the word "someof" originate in Ghana or China?
We must remain calm and correct during our travels to reduce any anxiety.

everan,

est-ce simplement quelque chose sur la culture du pays et rien d'autre.
es simplemente algo de la cultura del país y nada más.

Don't know, don't care really. Just wish people would be original and get their own avatars instead of pinching others and confusing the forum.
