With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Well, you could have the idea that since the two countries are so close that the easily could understand each other wich isn't the case.
On my side, I just made the usual joke about americans that don't know other languages than english and are confused when they dicover that not all understand that

I've heard Danish described as both "fruity" and "cheesy." Not sure what to make of that.Comment

Wizard (/Sorcerer) (Never could figure out what the Difference between those two is supposed to be). In German Zauberer/Magier are used as Synonyms without correlating to any specific type of Magic*. Zauberer is the older Term mostly used on Fairy Tales and Disney Movies =) while modern Fantasy usually uses 'Magier'.
*Although a quick g-search showed me a Topic debating between those Terms which is now in it's fourth year.. we may need an Expert here.Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!Comment

I'd say "wizard" has a more neutral/good connotation than "sorcerer," which sounds a bit more negative.Comment

Possibly the difference is only known to D&D players.Comment

Wizards need to study to use their magics, while sorcerers have innate magic abilities.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

It's possible I only think of "sorcerer" as bad because of the original Archon where the sorcerer was the dark-side spellcaster.Originally posted by regexcellent View PostComment
