Go into a 24hr Walmart anywhere in the USA around 11pm and you will know what I am talking about.
ok, we haven't the walmart chain here, but i guess i know what you mean, while "uh", i had to live in the city to recognize that.and isn't it a bit hard judged of you?whatever one might be, often it wasn't their choice, of course you could be right somehow, but phew that's risky to judge this.my mother would slap me right in the face, if i would say something like that in front of her.but well overpopulation is a problem and it's hard to break out of any vicious circle...some more "periods, exclamation marks, or question marks"?

The english language is expressive enough without emoticons
erm, i think he refered to this subforum especially and i guess he didn't ment emoticons or such, he misses only... how should i tell it?that the articles could be less serious, that you can write about this matter without fixed statements, more questions and left open thoughts.i mean it's (and i'm often one of this kind, "besserwisserisch", a know- is that right? looks strange) not very good to state a opinion as a fixed statement, it's far better to let people think themself. especially when it comes to politics because you repell people with fixed meanings about that matter (likewise religion is difficult and needs diplomacy), but give a hint or two and let them sleep over it, then they might change their decision.politics can be a dry matter, it's a serious thing, but i can help
