President Bush to visit Denmark

[Pekka]

nah don't exaggarate too much paiktis.. I think lots of people would still want to shake hands with him. Like I could shake hands with the pope even though I'm not catholic and I don't agree with some of the things they promote, or at least promoted. I don't have passion against lot of these people. Hey I disagree on many things with my friends. In fact, most of my friends are borderline insane when it comes to their 'politics'. Stalin would get a boner to hear those braniacs out. But doesn't matter to me or them either. We're not that passionate about it. We just have opinions, we have thoughts, but we don't KNOW the way, we don't BELIEVE or have a passion of politics.

I disagree with Bush on many things but I also agree with him on things. And when I said I think he's an idiot, I mean that I don't think he really is all that smart some conservatives try to say he is.. I don't buy that I do think when I judge his book by the cover I have all the info I need on that issue. But doesn't mean I wouldn't shake his hand or have a chat. I'd love to have a brooskie with him or few. talk about stuff. Just normal stuff. I have no problems with that.. because I don't think I'm a better person than the rest of you even though I know in fact I am.

i dont think bush is an idiot. not at all. actually i feel sorry for him for a number of factors. i still think that a minimum of the world population would like to shake his hand though.
in contrast i dont think anyone would mind shake the hand of the pope except a very marginal minority of the world.

i laughed when you said you'd give him something to sign and that would be the grrn card btw

[Pekka]

I know you gave your smilie at that. I know everything. Duh!

Anyway.. I disagree, I think most would shake his hand. The question for me is, who would ... I mean who would like to shake his hand if he wasn't the president anymore. Say in 10 years?

[Bereta_Eder]

you disagree but you are wrong
that's ok though,let's agree to disagree (that's good saying in external politics)

the thing is that he's vested with a political capacity so shaking his hand when he has that capacity carries more weight than just shaking his hand as a simple man.
but we talk a lot about shaking and people will start saying things. so let's quit it

[Pekka]

yeah shaking and throwing the ball..

[Adagio]

I guess I'm one of the few who wouldn't want to shake his hands if I had the chance

He's coming. Here. Not Belgium. Leave the balls alone.

We've had him already. We don't need him here again. Have fun falling on your knees in admiration, for this Lord God on earth of yours...
