They are multi leveled so there are more than just sewers. Part of it was used as a bone depository when they cleaned out many of the cemeteries. French resistance used them in WWII.

You're a real Einsten, pal !
I don't think soccer will ever take off here. Most children, over here play until high school then move on to football as they age. I, personally, prefer American football because it's more exciting & one does'nt have a 2-3 hr. long game & have the score be 1-0. I think soccer hooligan's (fan's) show more commitment, to the game, than the players. I would pay to watch them fight it out. I just find soccer to be an incredibly boring "snoozefest". We'll just have to disagree because i know soccer is the most popular game in the world.

I merely pointed out, to that clown, that soccer is the most popular sport in many countries throughout Europe.
So when he questions the masculinity of soccer players, he is, de facto, questioning the masculinity of all soccer players throughout Europe.

I can understand the fact the Americans don't like soccer though.
1-0 result after 90 minutes doesn't resonate in a nation that likes high scoring games.

Personally, I am not a soccer fan either.
I much prefer rugby when it comes to field sports.
As regards American football - I don't rate it.
Rugby is a far tougher, more physical sport.

I played rugby extensively in my younger days - played against all the rugby playing nationalities.
Have played a couple of games of American football - but rugby was certainly tougher than that.

I do follow American sport though - I like Baseball and have watched the Sox progress this year.

How do Europeans view baseball? Is there any interest? Just looking for some European input.

Europeans, by their very nature, abhor masculine behavior. It's why they love fems like Carter & Kerry, and hate men like Bush & Reagan.
But everytime the kraut hordes come smashing down their walls, it takes real men from the USA to bail their panty wearing asses out of the fire. For which, they show damned little appreciation. Why?

To paraphrase Archie Bunker, "Europe, is a fag contintent."

Behaviour - you missed the letter U.

As regards WW2 - me thinks that the Russians and British repelled the Nazi regime.
America was neutral till 1941.

3. While your lot remained neutral and were profiteering from WW2, Britain
and the Soviet Union were fighting the Nazi's.
4. see 3 above.
5. Your country's contribution to WW2 has been referred to and commended.
As regards saving people, that's open to question.
