- Show me where I insulted someone, pal. No I don't expect special
- treatment--this seem to be a good forum for people to exchange
- dialogue and ideas, so I asked for a response. Thanks for your
- attempt, nonetheless. Dork. Ooops I guess I did insult someone.
- I'm sorry, you're not a Dork. You're just one of those scavengers
- who pops into a group to rehash a dead issue without even
- reading all of the previous posts to get a "correct" idea as to
- what's going on. Get your facts straight before you accuse:

- Oh yeah uh huh. Good rationale there. Your logic makes perfect
- sense to me! So Eddie Murphy is mature humor since you say so.
- Well, I can't argue with you, you must be right!!
-
-
- In case you're confused here, *I* was not the person to run
- the file through the filter. Look before you
- leap, Dork. But that's not the issue here. However, it is an issue
- that I disagree with your statement on "valley girl" filters. I didn't
- know one existed but I think it'd be very funny to hear a batch
- of text run through a "valley girl" filter. Where can I get it?

- Yes, and I've been living through the one-sided news reports coming
- over from Zagreb propaganda agencies.
-
- Stories are being baised against the "crazy
- serbs" by the "hapless Croatians." Truth is both sides are crazy
- and cruel and full of centuries of hatred for each other. Rather
- than protest and make problems worse here by distancing myself
- from the Croatian community, I choose to let actions speak
- louder than words. Rather than form all-Serb clubs which speak
- of hatred for American Croatians, I'm trying to keep my relations
- good with my many Croatian friends here by talking with them and
- trying to keep the hatred from spreading here to America. I don't
- talk down about Croatian people. When I see a problem between two groups
- of people, I think it's better to come closer rather than separate
- the two groups with I'm-right-you're-wrong winless arguements. These
- just drive people apart. Separate-but-equal-but-separate
- just doesn't cut it for me and it never will.

- I am. I'm glad it's mine and not your type of pre-supposing,
- assuming life.

- Have a life
