I got an email from a poster here who told me I *HAD* to read this

gem

from Tuuk, and he was right. This is a classic. Here's the excerpt

and

it may well explain our drain-bamaged Thai:



Tuuuk wrote:



Do you know what krause,,, this may shock you being the cruel and

cold

german that you are,,, but Asian families are so close that they

enjoy

sleeping beside mom until they are in their late teens... yet

wealthy Asians

sleep with mom until they are 20ish and even some into their

30s...

And I thought Dave Hall probably had the weirdest household in the
newsgroup.


Someone who thinks that having high moral standards is "weird",

says

much about the poster.

Sorry, Dave, but I've seen no evidence you have "high moral

standards."

Quite the contrary.


The right wing christians consider themselves holier than thou because,
unlike people who can think for themselves, they've been brainwashed
into believing that if they lock step to 1) Christianity, and 2)
BushCo, that they will be blessed with abundance and happiness. What
really makes me laugh is that these are the same people who think that
Muslims are crazy and brainwashed for some of their beliefs!



I suppose the left wing Christians are all just normal Christians,
huh?

John H



A right-wing Christian is a contradiction in terms, if by Christian one
means a person who tries to follow the teachings of Jesus.


Tell your buddy b'asskisser, Harry. He's the one throwing the term
around. And, how would you know anything about what a Christian is?

Some are, some aren't. A fanatic is a fanatic. Most that are of the
liberal mindset, however, aren't so narrow minded.


So liberal Christians consider themselves less holy than conservative
Christians? Do you, who is always asking for proof, have any proof of
the assertion you just made?

Some are, some aren't.

But not with conservative Christians.....they are all crazy and
brainwashed....right?

Can you spin any faster, Jim? Just like your hero Rush, you

interject
something I've never, ever stated into the fray. Where did I say

"all"?

A fanatic is a fanatic. Most that are of the

Ever hear of the word inference? When you say "The right wing

Christians "
you infer all right wing Christians. If you want to make a

distinction of
only *some*, then say so. Otherwise you infer *all*.

Got it?


Jeezus, that's a gem!!!! If one could infer *all*, then how come the
exact same thing can't be said about *some*?
Come on, spin a few more times.


So if Jim says, "People from Georgia are really stupid," it's okay
because there probably are *some* people from Georgia who really *are*
stupid?

I don't think your conclusions have much validity, nor that you are
being very credible.

So if Bassy says that it is not OK to infer that all people from Georgia are
stupid when I say that the people of Georgia *are* stupid......then would it
be fair to *infer* that Bassy is the only stupid one from Georgia?

Hmmmm.

Let's see. Hey Bassy, how long is a piece of string?
