Kissing cheeks and holding hands is different from bowing and showing

To you, bowing is showing subservience. Bowing is showing respect in
many
cultures.

Opinions vary, cultural customs don't mean much when you are ignorant of
them.

If you are going to bow to one monarch shouldn't you bow to all of
them?

Depends on the culture?

A king is considered royalty. Shouldn't you show royalty respect?


It was probably better than when Bush, Sr. puked on that guy's lap...
which
I had to admit was pretty funny.

The funniest part was his slithering down behind the table. I wonder
if the guy saved his pants, like Monica saved her dress.


We all have our moments, but I've never puked in someone's lap. It was
funny, but I felt sorry for him, since he was surely sick.
