Hello from Georgia! I have question

How's the peach crop looking this year?

Green Witch, I think he's from Georgia that is close to the Black Sea,
Turkey and Armenia.

No way.

Those Georgians are always going on about joining NATO, especially when you get them lickered up.

I have a cousin in Savannah, and that's all she'll talk about.

Real Americans know that only man-eating dragons and Arabs lie beyond our shores.


(CJ, Surely you realize I was being a smart-a$$)

I didn't

I did.

Gullible CJ ....


And I've heard Washington is very interested in the medical experiments on the Georgian soldiers, so this is a very good reason to allow them to join NATO. Makes perfect sense to me.

Re: Hello from Georgia! I have question
I guess the Georgian aspiration to join NATO is mainly caused by their hopes that NATO can help them to regain full control over Abkhazia and South Ossetia. I do not think that NATO countries are ready to send their soldiers to fight against Abkhazians and Ossetians but with NATO membership the bargaining power of the Georgian government at any negotiations could be stronger.

How can u post PICTURES like that map ?

Not telling, David.

Georgia Is Warned by Russia Against Plans to Join NATO

SerSo is, at least, civil in his assessment of the worth of Georgian government policies. We have a Russian propagandist (probably a not too bright member of the FSB, which is to say, the typical employee) who comes here, and has done for years, to heap abuse on the Georgians. They are pawns of George Bush, they produce vile wine, they are attempting to poison the world with their vile wine, George Bush is a part of a conspiracy to force vile Georgian wines on the world, they are viciously slaughtering the poor, innocent Abkhazians and Ossetians, they cheat on their wives and their income tax returns. You can always spot him (the otherwise anonymous Russian, not SerSo) because of his appallingly bad English, and the fact that he never returns to any thread he has started. Lately, he has branched out into condemnations of the American government based on "failures" such as the fire at Universal Studios, which was obviously an act of Muslim terrorists, which "our" government is covering up. (His insistence on employing such execrable English, combined with truly hilarious and opaque failures to express himself coherently, when combined with the use of the second person plural--"we," "our," "us"--would be funny, if not so pathetic.)

However, as we all know, the last time Georgia produced a competent leader was when Tamara was queen in the 12th century.

O, fooey !

If you find an image which you would like to post, and it is in a format which may be hot-linked, you type this:

[img]"address of the image here"[/img]

. . . in your post, or you click on the "IMG" tab above the reply window.

The map is an image with the following address:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/38192000/gif/_38192269_kodori_300.gif

By enclosing that address within the BB code [img] & [/img], the image is hot-linked, and appears in the post.

The types of files which can be linked as images are most commonly "jpeg" files (with the extenstion ".jpg") of "gif" files such as this one. Some images are guarded against hot-linking, because that uses bandwidth, and the web site displaying the image may not want to contribute bandwidth through your desire to display an image. It is always helpful to click the "preview" button under the post a reply window before hitting submit, to make sure your image is working.
