You were rather rude about someone else culture. There are very good reasons for my reaction. I'm not about to explain them on a public forum. Then perhaps you shouldn't have made disparaging comments in the first place. That's a stretch, given the humourous tone of KM's reply. In addition she added a 'sorry' at the end. I'm glad *someone* got it. It has nothing to do with culture. I have an intense interest in culture and language, I read National Geographic and various anthropology and archeology magazines cover-to-cover every month, yada yada. I get the screaming willies at anything that smacks of mysticism. Anything. Even Roman Catholics doing Fatima devotions give me the shudders, and my own father was a French Canadian Roman Catholic. It's a big stretch to claim that my personal reaction to mysticism is some kind of disparaging statement. That's like claiming my distaste for spicy food means I don't like Mexican culture. It. Has. Nothing. To. Do. With. Culture. Nothing. Why don't we move along back to biking. ;-) Yes, let's. -km -- Only cowards fight kids -- unidentified Moscow protester the black rose proud to be owned by a yorkie http://community.webshots.com/user/blackrosequilts |
