Please send me a PM if you would rather not talk about your decision in the forum. Your post was rather alarming what with the tears and everything. I didn't even know you a few weeks ago and now I'm worried about you. See what you've done to me?

physics should be banned; it has increased the violent tendency in a normally-mellow human being.
doggone it.
I know exactly how you can rid yourself of the violent tendencies caused by physics. A little experiment to experience one law of physics first-hand:Quote:

When you regain consciousness, you will have a working knowledge that electricity always follows the path of least resistance. Never mind about the fried brain cells. It was worth it.

Police are putting unruly youngsters through their paces on an eight-week "knight school", to teach them some of the ways of medieval knights. The Lincolnshire scheme has been hailed a success in improving behaviour, so what kind of lessons could knights teach youngsters today?
Knights of old were either virtuous and honest men who lived according to a code of chivalry, or a bunch of marauding looters who were lucky to get a good write up in the history books.
Whatever the reality, are there some values associated with chivalry which could be applied today? We canvassed opinion among medieval experts.
1. Generosity was important. Even though knights were of a certain status in society, with servants and followers, they were expected to be generous in handing out rewards. For example, in battle a knight may take quite a lot of booty but would be expected to distribute that to followers in recognition of their service to him.
Lesson for children today - Share.
2. Mercy is one of the key concepts of chivalry. Fighting with another knight, if one offers defeat then the other should exercise mercy and be gracious in victory. The whole concept of ransoming was based on this. A knight would honour and respect a fellow knight when fighting him or when holding him captive.
Lesson for today - If you get in a tussle and win, go easy on the other kid.
3. Loyalty to the king or the nobles was absolutely crucial. That would mean abiding by the rules and recognising that there's a superior authority and in order to be chivalrous you have to be loyal to the person above you.
Lesson for today - Respect your elders.
4. Exercise power responsibly. They didn't get rid of violence but they tried to limit it to justified causes.
Lesson for children today - Just because you're the biggest in the class, don't throw your weight around.
5. Protect the weak. There's also a sense that the strong should protect the weak who are unable to look after themselves.
Lesson for today - Stand up to bullies and gangs who pick on other children.
6. Justice. Seek always the path of "right", unencumbered by bias or personal interest. Recognize that the sword of justice can be a terrible thing, so it must be tempered by humanity and mercy.
Lesson for today - Fight for what's right.
7. Humility. Value first the contributions of others; do not boast of your own accomplishments, let others do this for you. Tell the deeds of others before your own, according them the renown rightfully earned through virtuous deeds.
Lesson for today - Give credit to your pals.
And a few lessons not to learn...
8. Crusading, which is about fighting for the faith and against those who believe in Islam.
Lesson for today - Respect other religions.
9. Wielding a very sharp implement.
Lesson for today: Don't carry knives.
10. Courtly love, between champions and ladies, which is rather inapplicable to the modern world.
Lesson for today - Don't think the girls will be impressed.
anything cuz i have some time to spare but I'm thinkinabout Stan's invitation into piracy.Quote:

What could be more fun?
I can't think of anything more enjoyable.
A groundhog and a prarie hound were having a tea party.
Why do people always want to have meetings to discuss things, when they would be better suited handing over the problem and letting someone fix it.
i had an argument with a co-worker today because he made a comment that i called racist. he said that we should hire a *insert random visible minority here* applicant because he would work harder than the average canadian, because he would want to prove himself because he was from a minority group.
is it racist to stereotype and categorize people, even if its in a positive manner? isnt racism harmful? so was his comment harmful?
i argued..but im not sure.
i hate that.
i like to argue when im sure.
i need to go get sure....
be right back.
maybe....if i still have a job
That's exactly what I'm wondering!!!! Why spend an hour (or more) in a meeting just delegate.Quote:

Okay! Splenda cookies in the oven, husband snoozing (for the moment), maybe I can read some posts now.
Question:

Well, I would find it harmful if I was (insert choice here) with that kind of comment being said in front of me. I mean, would he say it in front of a person of the race of which he was speaking? I respond to that kind of thing immediately too, speak now think later. But damn, it makes me mad too.
I attacked (verbally only) a young guy in the bar on Halloween who was dressed up like a KKK member, gave him a big speech and made him give me the pillow case he wore on his head. Great for the moment, I felt silly afterwards, I mean, calm down a little, right? Wrong? I never understand, how much do you tolerate as the observer without making people around you scared to speak.
Last week we moved into another house.
(Last night, we shared a conversation that reinforces an
appreciation for something I once took for granted,
that is until ..We went without it.)
