Quick thinking Hero

[HoreTore]

Norway must be a cold an unloving place.

Why? Because I think telling someone they've done a great job is a compliment?

I'm not saying not to care about this, I'm not saying that he shouldn't get the ceremonies, thanks and gratitude he has received. What I'm saying is that the word "hero" is wrong in this case, and that it shouldn't be necessary for people to do heroic(in the true sense of the word) things before they are honoured. Simply doing what you're supposed to do with great skill should be more than enough to be honoured, all the more so when peoples lives are saved because you managed to do it right. I don't see why we should limit celebrations and thanks only to "heroes".

That and the sheer expense of alcohol. I think your splitting hairs for the sake of argument.

Do note that we have higher wages as well

And anyway, this is a debate forum, right? What we do here is debate? What's the point of a thread if noone is debating?

but yes, norway is hellishly cold. But it always warms my heart that I'm no longer in Northern Norway.... -45 degrees celcius, now that's bone-freezing...

I have to confess, I haven't done the math... But I can tell you have no problem getting drunk whenever I'm free to do so, on good single malt scotches(like Laphroaig or ardbeg, my current favourites)

I'm thinking about studying a year on France.... The US would be fun, but meh... France sounds like more fun, with frenchspeaking women....

1. I am a beer man. Will be to the day they put me in the clay.

2. Texas is better than France we even had a thread about it. I'm pretty sure the final vote was Texas: 347643. France: 45. Not to mention our women bathe shave and aren't stuck up. America has so much more to offer than France. Oh sure France has the Louvre, Bastille, Eiffel tower, The Arc De Triumph and many other historical wonderment's But in America you can deep fry your candy bars. That is freaking EPIC.

He's glider pilot as well

Good point Dave , glider pilots are also are used to landing in water after engine problems .

But I hope you know what a load of tripe that is.

Not at all , this was an airbus right and these were geese .
Well there was this bus which is like an airbus but with less wheels and there were swans which are like geese but bigger , the bus did a tricky manouver to avoid the swans and didn't end up in a river .
Now you might say there is a difference in height , but the airbus was taking off so it was quite low and the bus was a double decker so it was quite high .

1. I was that too, until I realized I got a lot more women with red wine....
2. I didn't vote in it, and since my vote counts for around 1 billion regular human votes, France would win easily.
3. Who cares about the art and old buildings anyway? Why look at a 500-year old house when you can look at a 20-year old woman instead?
4. American women are fat. French women are thin. I'm thin. American women would crush me. I can tolerate some sloppy hygiene(I'll make them sweat anyway) and some hair if it means I get to survive. Besides, it's not like I can't shave off any offending hair myself.
4. Deep fried candy bars? Seriously? I'm very far from a health freak, but there's just no way such a thing will enter my mouth. In fact, the food is one of the top reasons I want to go to France.
