727.0. "searching for a pen pal" by BERIS3::MKINDZORRA (Marion Kindzorra@BEO) Thu Jul 08 1993 04:48

Hi,

I'm a german girl living in Berlin. I'm very interested in Canada 
and I search for a pen pal from there. 
Excuse my bad written English because I haven't practice.
Hope to here from you soon.

Bye Marion

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ YOUR INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPER EVERY DAY. 
IF YOU DON'T BE INFORMED THAT 7 WEEKS AGO A HOUSE IN SOLINGEN 
GERMANY HAS BEEN BURNT (2 CHILDREN, 4 WOMEN DIED) BECAUSE THE 
INHABITANTS WERE FOREIGNERS AND NOT GERMAN.

DUE TO THIS OCCASION I THINK EVERYBODY HAS TO START HIS BRAIN 
WORKING BEFORE WRITING "WATCH OUT FOR GERMANS". 

PLEASE REMEMBER: EVERYBODY IS A FOREIGNER EVERYWHERE OUTSIDE HIS 
COUNTRY.

      NOTES files are a neat... but it's hard to get a sense of
      what kind of place you wander into ... and what kind of
      people are in it.
            
      The place you have innocently wandered into should be
      pictured as a small town Canadian bar ... on the bad side of
      town... maybe even Sarnia.  
      
      It doesn't smell too good in here... really dark, floor
      hasn't been washed lately.  A lot of shouting and laughing
      from the drunks in the corner.  Most of the contributors to
      the notesfile are still here tonight, it's too early for
      them to be thrown out... or pass out.
      
      Maybe we should change the name so innocent people don't
      wander in... instead of CANADA, how about
      INNA_YOU_FACE_TABERNOUCHE?
      
      Not exactly the Canadian embassy... please don't be offended
      by the comments here!  "Spass muss sein"

    Claudia & Marion,
    
    I'm afraid you have inadvertantly stumbled onto the remnants of a war
    which began back in the 1600's. This is when Canadians were deciding to
    be either French or English, so, they decided to be both and the war
    continues.... This has nothing to do with Germans.
    
    Tabernouche! 8^)

      That's the smiley after a few Molson's right?  The nose is a
      little brighter than usual, plus the double vision.... ;^).

727.16????MISUNDERSTANDING???BERIS3::MKINDZORRAMarion Kindzorra@BEOFri Jul 09 1993 05:1613
I'M A LITTLE BIT ASTONISHED ABOUT THE COMMENTS. WHAT'S THE 
CONTEXT BETWEEN MY QUESTION  AND THE "WAR" OF FRENCH AND OTHER 
CANADIENS?? PLEASE BE SO KIND AND TAKE ANOTHER PLACE FOR 
FIGHTING, THE OTHER BAR IS REALLY BETTER FOR THIS.
I'VE LEARNT A LOT ABOUT SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE READY FOR KICK OUT 
OTHER PEOPLE WITH HARMLESS REQUESTS.  
BUT IT'S OK, I DON'T LOSE HOPE AND I START LAUGHING...

727.17Yes, a misunderstanding.POLAR::RICHARDSONSick in a balanced sort of wayFri Jul 09 1993 09:0016
    It's a jovial, friendly, fun loving type of war now.

    Your question was OK, it just turned out to be a good vehicle for
    opportunists to take a ride on.

    Cheers!

    Glenn

    P.S. please use lower case characters in notes as upper case is
    considered as yelling.

    example:

    	Tabernouche! --> I'm saying tabernouche in my normal voice.
    	TABERNOUCHE! --> I'm yelling tabernouche to my Member of Parliament.
