Or have just have blackforest cake instead!Switzerland is number 10.Yes,the democracy isn't a necessary say on how liberised the citizens are but it comes really close.The criteria is things like nature of elections,security of voters,ability of normal people to implement politics etc.

As for Black Forest Gateau (Schwarzwalder Kuchen)? I used to make the most gorgeous ones. I haven't made it in a long time but since we have a new oven, I should test it. I'm sure Marshlander will love it as he likes both chocolate and cherries. Oh the dark chocolate shavings on the top of the whipped cream, yum....

The kid was clearly unbalanced to do that, the fact the victim is gay is irrelivent. If that kid had correct councilling that wouldn't have happened.
Im guessing someone just decided to pick on the psycho kid at school by giving him a valentines day card.
