Hi Sexmachines3! My name is Frankie DeCandia. I live in a city called Malden, a suburb of Boston in Massachusetts. I am a senior in high school, and I attend Pope John XXIII High School. At school I am currently involved with lots of activities, such as Campus Ministry. Campus Ministry is a bunch of students that help others around the school, and also organize retreats for the underclassmen.
Quite the interesting name for your group, don't you think? I found out that I can identi fy with all three of you on different levels. First is Lars who likes music and plays soccer. I love music and used to play soccer! I haven't played in a long time because of other activities. I was good! I don't mind gloating. I played sweeper for the be st team in the conference. I wonder what position you play and what kind of music you like? After Lars, there is Steffen. I, like Steffen, enjoy hip hop and parties! I bet we could trade some fun party stories, as well as recommend some good c.d.s for one another. Last is Jonathan, who likes the Mavericks! Even though I usually don't side with the dynasty teams, I am a big fan of Dirk Nowitzki! He's an incredible basketball player. Their starting five may be the best in the league! Well, I enjoyed talking with you guys, and I hope we will work together soon!

from Lars, to Iran:
Hi Afy!

You want to know how much I know about your country? I have to say that I do not really know very much about Iran.I only know that Iran is the neighbour of Iraque and that the citicens of Iran hate Saddam Hussein! In my opinion Saddam Hussein is very cruel and violent but it is not the correct way to start a war against him. What do you think about the USA? Do they really want to defend Saddam or is the only reason for the coming ( and it surely comes) war the big oil reserve existing in Iraque? Tell me something about the Iran. I want to know more about your country. And what do you know about Germany? Mail me......... ;) yours
Lars..........

Hey Johnathon!
So you like soccer? I love soccer, it is my favorite sport. I pretty good too. I got picked to represent the USA and play against other counties. Other sports that I like are softball and bech volleyball. I like football too, but only for fun. I like the same type of music you do. My favorite band would probably have to be System of a Down. I also like Disturbed, Linkin' Park, and Trust Company. Basically, I like rock music. Rap is also another type of music that I like. But I don't like all rappers, only a few. As for what you said about "World War Three", I guess that that's what I would call this war, too. It seems like a lot of countries are getting involved in the matter. But some people in the states think that President Bush is too stupid to handle this and some people think that he knows exactly what he is doing. I guess that I would have to be one of the people that are not really sure of President Bush. I think that he should try to hold off this war for as long as possible, and I also think that he should try to bring the Iraqi president down (I can't even remember the guys name.) I also think that President is kind of stupid, so I don't know if he smart enough to take any action in this matter at all. The reason that I think that President Bush is stupid is because when he was doing a speech, he couldn't pronounce one of the words in his speech. Some people think that he doesn't even write his own speeches. Some people think that the only real reason the Supreme Court chose him to be president was because his father was president, too. What other reason would there be for him not to know the words that he put in his speech? Then I listen to him speak on T.V. about the possible war with Iraq and he actually sounds like he knows what he is talking about. So really, I think that the presidents need to come up with something and fast. I just moved to Washington from Los Angeles, California. I really miss it there, especially my friends. By the way, NO. Women and sports do not go together unless you are talking about Female athletes. Bye, Gabriella

(2) Hi @ all!!!

Our topic is school systems in the various countries. We choose this topic because we are interested in getting more information about school systems. At first we want to give you short information about the school we go to and other schools in Germany. We are students at a comprehensive school in Germany. At the beginning we want to explain the normal school system in Germany. First pupils go to the primary school for four years after that they come to a school where they must stay for two years. There the teachers decide to which school the pupils have to go to because after six school years a system with three different types of schools begins. The pupils are separated into three different types of schools. The very clever pupils come to a grammar school in which they can get there A- level called Abitur after 13 school years which gets you into university. In to the second type of school the middle good pupils go to. There they can get there Realschulabschluss, a diploma of education after ten school years. The last type of school is a school to which the poor performance pupils go to. There they can get there diploma after 9 years. Our school is in some ways different from the other schools because our school is a comprehensive school, similar to the US high school. A comprehensive school is a school in which all pupils are together in one school and where they can get all diplomas. Our school is a very big school with 1600 pupils and 130 teachers. If you response we would like to here your opinion about the schools in your area. Could you please answer these questions?!?!
1. about 800
2. about 70
3. ...
4. all
5. everything
6. 9
7. everything

Hope to hear from you soon!!!

World War III.
Hey everybody! We are Ira, Artyom, Ira, and Yulya from Kazakhstan. It is the third World War going on in Iraq, and we'd like to give you our opinion on it. We think that the US government is providing wrong politics, because the peaceful citizens of Iraq are suffering from the actions of the US Army. We think that America does not really want to make Iraq a peaceful place without nuclear weapons and Hussein's political system. What they really want is Iraq oil! The USA is acting too tough, and it doesn't look like a strike back against the terror of the 11th of September, 2001. What is going on in Iraq looks like a real war in which the USA follows some indefinite aims. America wants to get some profit out of this conflict. This war is doing harm to Iraq, its citizens, its economy, and culture. Most of the victims of the conflict are innocent people who don't give a damn about the US and Iraq political opposition. The USA is trying to look like a world judge for everybody on this planet. They say they are trying to provide justice for the countries that need it, but that's not what they are really doing. We got a good example of this recently. Do you guys remember that US journalist who got fired after he had reported all the truth about the war in Iraq? Well, that's for the US democracy and justice! We think that all this crap should be stopped as soon as possible. This war is not doing good to anybody in the world. Don't you think so?

from VHS, 1.5.:
(In response to topic #4, part 1, Jever, Germany, Sexmachines3- Third
World War) The Possibility of World War III: Imminent Danger My intense feelings of denouncement about the pending war is shared by many people around the nation. This approaching conflict entails an ongoing battle with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and the oppression of his people. When trying to form an honest opinion on Hussein's regime, many factors must be looked at. Hussein is a tyrannical madman, ruling his country with an ir on fist. He coerces his people and murders the innocent residents of his country. The fact is, Hussein's regime isn't pinpointed to his own country. He is able to threaten anyone and everyone around the world. This decision falls upon the shoulders of the United States: whether to stop Hussein before he attacks, or to wait for his unavoidable strike. When forming this decision, the United States must put the all- important issue into perspective: the freedom of the American people. After the horrific ev ents of September 11, 2001, the American people have swelled with patriotism and pride. If we were to avoid war, at all costs, what kind of image would that portray for us? Although in present day we hold a startlingly strong persona, the fact remains tha t we are still recovering from a tragedy. In addition to this emotional recuperation, there is also an undeniable aspect of fear. Despites these reservations, I'm a realist. I understand that the situation in Iraq is going to continue to escalate. I also realize that it must come to some kind of climax that most likely will be in the form of combat. However, to label this as a "World War" would be completely incorrect. In my opinion, for a war to be labeled as a "World War," I would think more than two countries would be involved. This seems like a logical standard, considering previous participants in past World Wars. Also, in previous wars, multiple countries have teamed together to conquer a greater evil. On this imminent battle, the world seems to be divided. Surely other countries support our effort, but other countries also abhor our endeavor. Nevertheless, until more countries publicly and physically join the United States army, there is no way this can be called a World War. Perhaps other count ries fear for their safety, which is something that is completely understandable. Hussein is a brilliant military mind, albeit on the brink of insanity. However, it must be decided where this insanity will stretch to. Surely other countries can see the po tential for authoritarianism that Hussein possesses. In the unlikely circumstance that he were to be victorious in battle, what would stop him from attacking other countries? Reality would suggest that as his regime grows, the size of his empire would fol low. There are some people that completely support the war, at all costs. And while they have some serious points about it, I just can't seem to justify their decision. I share a commonly thought (but rarely spoken) opinion on the war. I happen to thin k that George W. is attempting to finish what his father began ten years ago. Bush Sr. began his battle with Hussein over ten years ago, and the fight continued for his whole term. Ten years later, George W. has rekindled the flame, in the wake of the dea th of thousands. Grim words yes, but words that hold infinite validity. Keep in mind that I am not speaking against the President of our country. On the contrary, I am backing him up. I completely agree that Hussein must be stopped. He's a threat to t he freedom of the American people, not to mention the free will of the world. His alleged involvement with terrorism only reinforces why he should be annihilated. However, this does not mean you have to bring war to his whole country. I realize he is thei r leader, but killing his innocent people won't even make him bat an eyelash. Targeting Hussein and his regime is the most intelligent way to act. Other countries recognize him as a threat, but they are reluctant to bring war to Iraq. Nevertheless, it see ms President Bush has pushed that unwillingness aside, and he is prepared to do everything to protect his country. Although I do not agree with every aspect of why he is fighting, I offer the utmost support for him and our country. If Hussein is stopped, the death of thousands may actually be given significance, rather than just being another group of casualties in a battle filled with bloodshed.

from VHS, 3.5.:
(In response to topic #4, part 1, Jever, Germany, Sexmachines3- Third World War: The Crisis of the USA and Iraq) Iraq vs. the United States We began the intense attack on Iraq Friday morning. In President Bush's speech to Saddam Hussein, Bush state d, "Saddam Hussein and his sons must leave Iraq within 48 hours. Their refusal to do so will result in military conflict, commenced at a time of our choosing. For their own safety, all foreign nationals -- including journalists and inspectors -- should le ave Iraq immediately." To me this speech was very powerful. President Bush was trying to lead and protect the United States from the evil of this family. He wanted to complete this mission safely and peacefully although this is not what the Hussein regime wanted. The September 11th attack on the United States brought about much rage toward terrorists, and later countries with ties to terrorism like the leadership of Iraq. We had already in the past let them gain excessive power when we did not do anyt hing to them when the World Trade Center was bombed before. Our government asked the Iraqi regime to give up their immense bombs and other destructive weapons. They affirmed that they did not base any nuclear bombs or warheads that they were looking for; yet the first missile that they launched was a scud missile that they allegedly did not have. We anticipate helping the Iraqi people discover a new form of government; as a result, they might make a better economy for themselves and live happier. They will be assured this when they begin to see that their neighbors are not getting persecuted for walking the wrong way. I hope that this war on terrorism and Iraq is solved with a superb ending for everyone. I think that this war could very possibly tu rn into a world war, particularly if Russia starts to help Iraq. Each country will be forced to decide whom they are allies with and whom they are enemies with. I do not believe that there will be any neutral countries. If Russia does not get involved, an d we take care of it hastily, then I believe most of the conflict will be resolved.

Hello dears !
Thank u for your topic , it is really interesting because now the whole world is playing with this topic and also everything in this world belongs to it for many many many reasons like OIL ! Most people think that this war has been just and just for 1 and 1 reason : The OIL !(as our physics teacher says "it is just for energy !" ) Many people die and many people get sick and may be veryyyy sick and many people lose their families or relatives ! and it is the time that a very big pity happens !!!! To KILL just For HAVING ! Roghaye says : US wants to have Iraq just to support Isreal to own Palestine completely ... and if u pay attention u will understand that after this war the whole world has forgotten all about Palestine ! Afra says : US wants to be the coordinator of the whole world and we should stop it ~ and they should understand they can't do whatever they want ! Gilava says : World should have a RULE ! and RULE is equal for everybody ! everybody means exactly everybody ! Atefeh says : We really like to help Iraqi people and we pray for them and whoever wants to see The peace in this world should try ! and other friends agree with all the above ! bests for u iRAN iEARN TEAM

Hi Iran!
My name is Lars and I am from Germany (HI AFY!)! You asked for a text about death so I will write you a text about death. First, I think, you have to define "death". In my opinion, there are many forms of death. First we have the physical death. I think that this is the form of death you mean. Ok, let me tell you something about THIS death. You die... and then... I do not know... perhaps you will get to heaven and live happy forever... perhaps you will get in hell and die again and again... In fact I think, that "heaven" and " hell" are places people invented to get over the fear because they do not know what there will be after their death. They can not believe / are not able to believe that there will be nothing after their death. Try to imagine your death and then try to tell me how it will be not to be.. be away.. be nothing.. even your soul will be away.. destroyed by death.. ! This is impossible! So peoble HAVE to think or to believe in a life after death..... Another sort of death is the spiritual death - in my opinion the worst kind of death. You are there... you are a human being... but you are not able to decide things on your own... Not being able to say what you are thinking of is worse than being killed... If I had the chance to chose between the "normal" death and the death I described above, I would chose the "normal" way.
