Remember, the trick to having authentic Canadian style hockey is to make sure theres lots of cross checking and at least one person needs to take a puck or ball to the teeth (a million cool points if the person is the goalie who is too macho to wear a mask and then goes on record as saying masks and pads are for 'pansies') Oh, and there needs to be lots of drinking and possible rioting (Although I think our hockey championship rioting pales to what I've seen of soccer hooliganery)

I was brought up to be very polite by my mother, who, like yourself, came from Baghdad.

That upbringing makes it very hard for me to understand the mentality of those kids and others like them. However I have been reading a lot about psycology and that does give me some clues.

As a child, I remember some builders working near to my home on a hot summers day. I imagined that they would be thirsty and I took them water to drink. They thought that I was doing it for money, but it was not done for that. Many years later, I saw my late mother take some water to some gardeners, again on a hot summers day. They were Iranian's and as my mother talked to them, I found out that there is a tradition in the MIddle East of giving people water.

Perhaps I gained my alltruistic streak from my mother? But imagine if you could make a person and control aspects of there personality with dials. Once the dials are set, they can't be easily changed.

Imagine if you turn the dial for alltuism up to 11, the highest setting. You might get a lady like Mother Terasa. Turn the dial to 1, and you get chav's, like the ones who bothered you.

Now imagine if you could turn other dials for things like being introverted/extroverted or for perception of other peoples thoughts and feelings. The combination of low alltruism, with high ego and low perception of other peoples needs would be bad for the people who have to suffer such an individual.

You can get an insight into your own personality through this test. I found it surprising how accurate it was for me, and there are only a small number of questions. It is based up the Myers Briggs model of personality, which has 16 personality types, made up of four characteristics.

Anyway, knowing this stuff on psycology does not make bad people more tolerable, but it does help to know why some people end up like that.

You have to love that online notification at the top of the screen. It's so nosy!

Hehe, thanks!

I would like to learn, but they talk way to fast...there's no way i can learn it. Good thing they speak a little English otherwise we'd be f-ed in the A.

Ahh. Ummm. My brain hurts. You can't make me think too much now. I'm really just eye candy.

For what it's worth, though, Lennon sang the song when he felt done with the Beatles portion of his life and the words, to me, seem to represent a desire for reinvention. That he did so in such a complete and dismissive manner with such a starkly beautiful instrumentation has impressed for me for quite some time.

OK, so maybe I'm more than just a pretty face.

yes public transport is essential it is the one thing my city lacks.
