Wales is the western offshoot on the British Isles, so west of England and South of Scotland. Ireland is across the water a bit, further west. The welsh language was dead basically, but during the nationalist movements during the 1960's in Scotland and Wales, Wales reignited its language by teaching it in school and posting it on all the street signs.

I am doing BSc (bachelor of science) in Computer Science. Very interesting but intense course.

And yes Italy is a beautiful country with very friendly people. Its kind of funny how the European Union is trying to create a sort of United States of Europe... even when there is alot of prejudice between peoples of countries (for example... English call the Welsh sheep shaggers, french are called frogs, germans we just never stop talking about the war (but we like them alot, very similar culture), polish we dislike because they steal our jobs, Italians are called lazy most the time).

Yeah I find studying religions and hearing other opinions (usually) very interesting. :) Hate debating because it usually turns hostile and aggressive attempt to justify yourself. Honestly most opinions are either someone else's, or ones you create with the very limited data you have... which usually makes them wrong. Conservatives are too inflexible and intolerant, and Liberals tend to be stuck up themselves on how progressive they are. I myself find I tend to be a Centralist, leaning towards Libertarian.
I really hated Religious Education classes here in the UK (something thats honestly needed in school in the USA), mainly because I was learning all these opinions which were stereotypical christian dogma, which I didn't agree with so ended up writing essays of arguments and my opinions on the subjects. :XD:

Another thing I think they need to teach children in school should be "Objectional Thinking", were they teach you crowd controlling techniques and ways politicians/leaders control people. And teach you to think about what is being taught to you, rather than just accepted it like a sponge. I recently read "Brave New World Revisited", which made me think this. :) Good book that makes me worry about the future.

No wonder welsh looked so similar to Scotland in landscaping. Italy is very different, with beautiful rocky beaches and long roads along the ocean. Golden plains that stretch like sun rays. Or this is what it seems from the movies I have watched about Italy. Recently, there was this movie called "I am not scared" about an Italian kid who finds this little kid living in a cave. He befriends him and finds out that the villagers have put the kid in the cave because his mom violated some of the cultural mores and they wanted to punish her by making the kid suffer in her place. It was really sad and heart touching and the kid was SO beautiful. Both of them were actually. But anyway, the movie was shot in the most beautiful part of Italy and I wish they had said which part, because it had the golden plains that I was talking about. It was amazing. I need to stop babbling... The kid's name was Filipo.

Computer science has a lot of job market. If you are good at it, then intensity of the subject only makes it more interesting!

I think trying to create a United States of Europe is just another way of politicians trying to compete in this world. After all, when have politicians ever sought after things that were more significant? like solving the crisis of Darfur and Republic of Congo. Or even what is happening in Kashmir. I mean, the United States claims to be the world power, yet it doesn't use its power to erase the world poverty and hunger or stop the violence. It CAN, but it DOESN'T. Look at the extravagant amount of money spent on these lavish campaigns? and they sound like hypocrites when they say "we want to attain global peace". Well, peace can't be attained unless poverty and hunger is eradicated. Of course it can't be eradicated completely, but we can try and decrease the percentage. There is no end to hypocrisy in politics!

Yeah I feel like I am in the middle too because the liberal are TOO liberal and conservatives are just plain stupid. Well, at least in America.

Objectional thinking is very important and for journalism, it's even more so. I have a hard time with it though. I have too many opinions, just about everything. And yeah, I like what you said about us not having enough data to form an opinion and in the end, it all comes out to be wrong anyway.

Gotta go,
see ya!

lol do you always write essays for responses?

United States of Europe is the response of Europe having to run to America every time there is a problem (eg more recently Russia is looking scary again). A united Europe would be able to act effectively as a political and military power (around 1000 nuclear weapons, armed forces similar to USA but budget lower). This is the biggest reason politicians are trying to get the EU up. Most European citizens don't like big government though, and are don't like being told by their neighbours what to do.

On the topic of Italy, yes it is a really beautiful country. I've been to Florence, which is north inland Italy. Lovely architecture and art, warm weather and people. Fairly laid back culture which is good and bad - it drives high strung tourists from Germany and Britain nuts when the trains are late... but the Italians don't care.

All the political parties in Britain are liberal tbh. Even the Conservative party supports gay rights and abortion. Only real different is taxation and how much the parties want to create laws. Conservaties like liberalising the economy and lowering taxes, so most middle class vote for them. Labour are more taxes and support, so most working class vote for them. Liberal Democrats have very European policies so don't have much support compared to the other 2.

btw its Wales the country. :P The people are Welsh.

Lol, Uh...Yeah, it's become a habit since I am so used to of writing essays these days........God, how much I resent being a college student..and it's only my second year and I look like this: :p

Anyways, we had a political speaker in our college today, who was a conservative and he pissed a lot of people off because he spoke against Obama. In his mind, McCain was too "soft" on Obama and didn't attack him enough (which in itself is the biggest contradiction). He went on and on ranting about Obama and how he is going to prove to be the worst president the United States has ever had. So I got up, since I am a hard core Obama fan and his speech was enough to stir my emotions and I couldn't contain myself. Let me tell you here, that he is actually a radio host for a very well known radio show and I clearly didn't know who I was dealing with when I talked about all the wrong facts I had heard about from "Saturday Night Live" and John Steward from the Daily Show. I critisized him for calling Obama a "clueless" person because as soon as McCain decided to choose Sarah Palin, this critisicim became INVALID. But since he had the floor, I had to shut up and I couldn't ask him how his criticism is actually helping the country unite? Isn't this what all the conservatives do? Bash the democrates and talk about tearing the country apart. Anyways, it was the most embarassing moment of my life but my professors were glad I stood up and spoke (though I think they were just doing it to make me feel good). I need to gather facts before I start babbling about things and this is my lesson for today!

Wait, did I call wales, "welsh"? I might have....I don't know what I am typing anymore.

I wonder if the pace of life is slower in Wales compared to the United States? Well, compared to the Northern United States? I have been at college sine 8 in the morning and now its 5 in the evening. Sometimes, we don't even have time to have proper meals...How do you spend your days?

lol democrats don't help unite the country either, its the job of political parties to make eachother look bad. True in any country. Thing is they usually do it in loud, simple and childish ways - because honestly there are more votes to get off people who pay little attention and don't think much about politics than those who pay complete attention.

Life in most of Europe is slower than USA, with people in the north working harder than those in the south (weather crafting culture). But most people in the UK work 8 hour days, 5 days a week. Around 30 ish days holiday a year. Honestly one of the more positive effects of slightly socialist government is that since most of the services are provided free/cheap, people have less monetary stress and are more relaxed about life. Scary thing is, tax in European socialist countries is basically the same as America. VAT (sales tax) is slightly higher, corporation tax is lower here. For example, the Netherlands (aka holland) is 0-52% (based on income) and they have many services like a 2 year paid maternity leave and free health care. Alot of US citizens taxes goto the military and government projects.
