help a thief

I'll get back to you soon on that mate, we could maybe even squeeze in another visit to a Scottish prison if you like ?

Kenny

thanks baz - i like a challenge

thewasp - yes, the scottish hospitality is legendary somehow i doubt things would be so draconian over there if the scots ran the UK. heh.

merci agence!

...some thoughts:

the yugo passport used to be able to accepted everywhere... but the new bosnian passport is useless. soon serbia will join the Schengen white list, meaning they don't need a visa to vist the EU. that leaves the following european countries who need visas just to set foot in the EU:

- turkey
- albania
- bosnia
- kosovo

keep in mind that many bosnians serbs have serbian passports and many bosnian croats have croatian passports. which leaves bosnian muslims screwed.

the muslim countries appear to be systematically shut out.

so the EU's unspoken policy seems clear, especially since bosnia fulfilled the same visa liberalization requirements as serbia but were denied being added to the Schengen white list. this obvious realization is causing a bit of an uproar in the EU parliament these days.

i guess the important question is: throughout history, has the extreme side of islam been more detrimental and violent than the extremes of christianity? it's hard to say, what with the crusades and a few hundreds years of western colonialism. looking at all the carnage on all sides makes me glad i'm an atheist

anyhow, being am immigrant, learning a new language & 'integrating' isn't always easy. i fought long and hard for my german permanent residency permit and am prepared to help Ana do the same. besides, she's a medical doctor and wants to work as a psychotherapist so it's not like she's coming to mooch off the system. and we make neat EBM together (aka neuroplayer)

Hi James, I live in Nis, maybe I know your friend?

Michel: Moje misli lete k' vama!

Yeah, it sucks being an ex-yugo, I imagine how much worse Muslims might feel living here

JamesTRubotnik: much appreciated... that reminds me, my grandfather was Swiss (Gen

god luck

if anyone can make this work its you

good luck man

good luck!
