    Just to clarify a matter or two, so that nobody has the potentiality to misunderstand, my own comprehension.

    Although I joke around quite a bit, this is for a reason, one that puzzles me often, on, how, to be, here.

    Although I might come across, through my 'joking around', as being rather racist, i.e. my views towards Americans and the French especially, (they do deserve it though, whether they agree with that or not), I do consider us all to be the same, whether black, white, in the know or totally ignorant, gormless or brainy, beautiful or ugly old trollops, skin is only, well skin deep, I love and do see you all, as the same.

    It still puzzles me you know, here I am this daft bunch of molecules that makes up me, and I'm wondering, because I can not be both at the same time, well, I can, but the interpretation 'elsewhere' would find it difficult, nigh impossible to distinguish the difference.

    Anyway, (did that make sense?), my intuition knows its true, but my rational surface mind, can't make head nor tail of the above. Can you? If so, kindly let me know, so that I can put it more simply next time.

    Now, what was I saying, ahhhhhh yes - human beings doing mischief, quite wonderful creatures humans are, never forget the value of yourself, oops, it would seem I'm getting sidetracked once more, where was I?

    Professional or just me being me, the total me, not the part of me that is less than the sum total of the combined parts, which would you prefer?

    Or is this a psychological riddle, posting, on clarification of character, post JW upbringing, and the clear headed, minded, psychological puzzle that faces us, in glueing together, our wended apart previous parts?

    What do you think? Your space ....

    Peace

    "..., as being rather racist, i.e. my views towards Americans and the French especially, (they do deserve it though, whether they agree with that or not), I do consider us all to be the same,...."
    This quote along with what you were saying in chat earlier are pretty lame Celtic.

    Kinda reminds me of that book Animal Farm. "All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others."

    "They" do deserve it? "They" being who? I'd never have believed you to think so narrowmindedly if I hadnt seen it with my own eyes. I'll never understand how someone can lump together and judge a whole group of people based on their skin or where they happen to have been born and live or something their ancestors may have done or anything else they cant control.

    Very disappointed.

    Christ! If that was a clarification I dont want to read one of your complicated explanations!

    Just be yourself you daft Celtic bugger.

    p.s. to Flower: the English and French have a love-hate relationship. It's traditional.

    I would say being true to yourself, being the honest representation of yourself, is the best policy.

    But, if you find some of those characteristics you possess are hurtful, ignorant, or racist....then you might have to rethink your qualities.

    I think there is nothing wrong with being mischievious ( I am usually getting in trouble for this), but we have to realize when we say things in a public forum, there is a potential for what we say to be misconstrued, or hurt others. There is a place and time for everything...and I guess we have to use discernment with how we say and to who we say it.

    Being different is great! Whether it's your take on things, opinions, colors of skins, cultures... everything mixed together brings a nice well rounded group. It's only when we make generalizations of others that we close our minds and hearts to good experiences.

    Just my thoughts!
