    I was thinking about those stereotypes, everybody has them... But wich do you know, I mean like in Denmark, atleast where I am from, we have a few like french chicks are hot, swedish people are drunk and the widely known you can't be english unless you drink tea...

    Stuff like that :D





    I was bored okay :(

    Funny that you mention absinth... I held my birthday yesterday, and I received a bottle of absinth from a friend of mine... :)

    whoa... 85%??? -nope, mine is "just" 55%. But I don't think it's the content of alcohol, rather the content of 'malurt' (wormwood?) that counts in absinth... unfortunately it's not like in the good old 1920's when people had hallucinations of drinking it... unfortunately. ;)

    it's not lsd, but it had some similar effects, I think... I'd never tried to drink the original kind of absinth - it's impossible to fetch...

    Why don't someone start a thread about absynth? It'd be pretty interesting, I think! If no ones does.. I will :)

    Anyways, I hate stereotypes... unless they're flattering :) Unfortunately, they're not always true - or fortunately. People who think the French wear berets are idiots!! Now please go back to my ignorant people thread :p

    So am I hot, btw? I French!
