All quite innocent, I think, unless there are some deeply repressed subconcious psychological urges coming to the fore here.
You can pull for Skinner, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.F._Skinner

It is my pure and virtuous heart that gives me the strength of ten.
I believe that Adept and I are still Canadians in Canada, despite what plans the Bloc and the Conservatives may have to the contrary. :)Quote:

It may surprise people to learn that in QC, Canada, you'll have a hard time finding an actual news show. I have to tune in to English Canadian TV or radio if I want news about my province that is not "seperatist spun", or an opinion show that looks like news.
I get so angry when I see people spouting propaganda without checking facts... like they assume what TV, radio or their schools (seriously) will automatically be truth.
All right... enough of that. :p
Can I move this to politicos now?

Stalemate... there is no escaping your Adeptness! It is in your nature. It is your destiny. Don't deny it.
He's in denial, because his Mrs told him to be :p - so that's not denial, its 'co-operating' as many a married man willl deny - sorry, tell you ! :D
Yes, Dear! :grin:Quote:

One of my Chinese (PRC) students once told me a story:Quote:

The boyfriend was always attempting to ingratiate himself with her father who was a university professor. In one of his attempts at ingratiation, he asked the father what the secret to his long and successful marriage was. The father replied that the reason for the successful marriage was that he and his wife had agreed that he would make all the important decisions with regards to the household, finances, and children because he was the man and that she could make all the day-to-day unimportant decisions about things not worthy of his consideration.
The boyfriend immediately began praising the father’s wisdom. The father let the boyfriend go on and on and on until he was way out on a limb well past the point of any recovery. Then ever so casually, almost as an aside, the father got out the saw and said, “But you know how life is. Nothing important ever happened.”
Why do fools fall in love?

Sorry about my absence, was out of town on business - network installations where Net was absent and had no laptop. :(
