no. that was my friend. although he dressed like me and would never leave me alone. He always followed me places. I didn't like him. Sometimes he would even put the helmet on my head.

As long as people are different, and we're all different, there will always be intolerance. We don't live in Utopia. And intolerance doesn't necessarily mean prejudice. I don't like listening to all the airheads talking on their cell phones while I'm trying to read the newspaper on my train ride to and from work. That's a form of intolerance on my part but I'm not going to give anyone a beat down to get them to shut up.
Larry, I fully understand your point and I wouldn't argue for a second that Utopia is possible (or for that matter even desirable). But I think the original point of the thread was attempting to deal with the prejudicial types of intolerance (wanting to "smack down" someone just because they're different) rather than intolerance for jack-a$$es (who probably deserve a good smack down). As I said before, I'm always skeptical about these types of "programs", but I'm willing to give them a try if there's a chance of reducing the frequency of the former. As for the latter, you have my blessing to hit 'em with a cane, crutches, walker or roll over their feet with a wheelchair!
Very interesting...
I'm always uneasy when someone says "very interesting" followed by little dots. Makes me think there's a "...but " to follow.

I was in fact paying homage to sunseeker with that, but I forgot the hmmm...!

No "but" really... a ding ding ding perhaps!!

Now if mings were OTE, he would be complaining about how unfairly he's been treated around here and that everyone else gets away with breaking the rules, but he gets nailed for doing nothing!

btw... you're a good sport, mings!
