Thanks lanman, Nice to know that at least one person in Canada has an open mind and the ability to respond intelligently without resorting to name calling.. (up till now the only people I know from Canada were Celene Dion, and Shania Twain, and i don't know either of them personally.) (I also don't know how they respond to email. :-)
I like to think that apart from my inital response to Joe's message I have maintained my decorum and dignity... at least better them most others that have posted. Incidently, I have joined the OT list in the hope that someone can tell me how I can protect my family from armed intruders without being armed myself.... kindest regards Franki -----Original Message----- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lanman Frankie; Thanks for the clarifications ( on many levels! ). Always nice to understand why everyone wants to kick the crap out of each other, instead of getting there in time to see the dust settle! I will say that Canadians - as a whole - have a reputation of being very passionate about our opinions, and obviously Joe is no exception! Eh? However, I have to agree with your opinion about guns. It would be nice if they could be eleminated, but you're right,...it's probably an impossible task. If only the police had guns, I could live with that, unless they started pointing them in my direction, that is! Having been in some "Pickles" a few times myself ( another long story), I can understand your sentiment. Myself, I've learned that most people have opinions, and many times they don't jive with mine, but since opinions are an expression of individuality, and since I couldn't stand it if everyone thought like me, I just let them have their say, and see if there's anything I can learn from them. There we go. Philosophy 101 according to the Lanman! But again, you hit the nail right on the head. Joe wasn't offering the right kind of opinion when he made his "unintelligible and stupid" remark. Sorry Joe, but you blew that one dude! Big Time! Now on to the important stuff! Size 16 shoes??? Holy [EMAIL PROTECTED] !! I thought I had it bad at size 13!! Like my dad used to say - I guess that gives you a lot of understanding! This whole thread may be just a little OT (Nudge Nudge! Wink! Wink!), but almost all of us tend to slip and do it at one time or another, so don't lose any sleep over it. Happens to the best of us. I should know! Just one suggestion though,...if you're going to be sarcastic, try to make it a bit more obvious for us dense types, will ya?? Enhance your calm, and all will be well. Besides in a few days no one will remember this at all. Lanman
