our new member, fireflower, made me think of this.

(try saying "fireflower" six times real fast.).

my all-time favorite oldie tongue twister: "six sheiks slitting six sheets".

Say "Toy boat" three times real fast.

Probably never saw a Black man before then!
I've had heard this about Germany from Black men and women (Soldiers and such). I have a girlfriend that married a White German.

That's a cultural observation. Try being pale skinned in some South American countries where light skin is considered preferable. You have to fight them off. I know from experience.
In fact, your observation is a modern anomaly, to be accurate. Almost universally, lighter skin was considered preferable across many cultures and "races." Darker skin meant you worked out in the fields. Lighter skin meant you were of the leisure classes.
It's the opposite in places like Germany. My brother said the women just tried to eat him up!

Hey you forgot me for roll call! I live in Kansas too. Anyway, the sirens went off here yesterday; but fortunately the tornado did not hit my area. We had some high winds and heavy rains. It was pretty touch and go there for awhile.

Modern day JW's borrow this tactic from Socrates
.
Yes, they skillfully use rote memorization and "Reasoning from the Scriptures". They really don't know anything. But, alas, the householder, generally, doesn't know anything at all about the bible; so they (householder) do not know that they are being told a story/lie.

I just learned about Socratic Method from my daughter. She was working on a report for one of her classes. She was reading the report to me to get my view point. . .anyway, she said that "Othello didn't use Socratic Method, which could of prevented him from murdering Desdemona (his mate), and which would of prevented him from committing suicide". . .Okay??? Hmmm???
I asked her about "Socratic Method"; and she said it was different from using "Rote Memorization". She said Othello had used "Rote Memorization", ie, listening to the story that Lago had told him and believing it without question.
Anyway, I thought this was interesting. It reminded me of being a Jehovah's Witness. The Witnesses teach the householders to "be like the Beroeans"; but you are not to question "the Witnesses" teachings. They want you to use rote memorization of what they teach you, and not to question any of it.
Oh well, I just thought that I'd share that.

I'm totally thinking what the hell do you do on facebook. I just asked my daughter how to update a profile and how to respond to people. I'm feeling that South Park episode!
