Originally posted by Melusine: Waluin, yes, I am from Holland originally, though my father is German (he has been living here for almost 30 years however and is fluent in Dutch - unfortunately I wasn't raised bilingually, but I do speak German). Tell your father: "Groeten van Sarah uit Nederland" Funny how foreign languages and accents keep popping up in one's native language sometimes, isn't it My father has that too sometimes... he puts the stress on the wrong syllable or uses word in combinations that don't exist in Dutch and I go "Dad, germanism!" again

I will, thanks! It will make his day.

And yes, it is strange. I swear that if America suddenly switch the national language to Dutch or German, particularly Dutch, he'd be more than happy to switch.

LOL!
I wouldn't really object either if we started speaking English here...I love that language...but on the other hand, considering the accent that most of the Dutch have...maybe it's not such a good idea after all!

Well, english has it's own 'colorful' dialects, as you are well aware. There's Geordi in England (woof), and of course some of the northern and southern dialects in America.

Back on topic. The main thrust of what I am trying to say is that the law is the law. Massive publicity shouldnt change that, and neithe rshoudl a desperate bid for votes. Why should these boys be punished more than other people who have committed crimes involving just as much violence and torture,but didn't get the same publicity?

Dawnchaser, call me a hypocrite then.

I wouldnt want death to happen on anyone,but if it does to them i wont mind.

And u are american, and aint english, so you dont understand the circumstances and hate for these.

So dont criticise others views, when u cannot rationalise them.

I don't know about anyone else, but we seem to do better relationship-wise when we are off topic than on topic today, hehe.

Originally posted by Melusine: Moridin, without making any statements as to whether I think these kids should be released, do you really think they would be allowed to become elementary school teachers- or any sort of teacher for that matter???? I think not.

Why couldn't they become teachers? They are having a new life prepared for them and they will eventually have to have jobs. But I think my main point was missed. The public deserves to know where these kids are living. If their safety is an issue, then allow what happens to happen and then as so many people have pointed out, let the law pass judgement.

Actually mate, that is why most people usually criticise anothers view You're asking for a cessation of that which you yourself most probably do.
