Peer, it's only a feeling ... imo.

Youre like a kid in a school yard who just yells "youre stupid, youre stupid" when alls you got is a runny nose.
I bring out Aretha and Marvin because I wanted to impart to you that yes there is racism and sexism, like everywhere else. But you cant deny the great strides we have done here. Marvin and Aretha overcame great barriers and yet thei talent is the one that speaks loudest to us. Like OMG her talent and aptitude struck our hearts. Not just because some "white male" said he was gonna kick butt. Its the people here man cant you see that, that are great, one of the best. No xenophobia, misogyny, no racism. Some of the most giving and warm people in the world.
Any idiot can get a book and report facts and statistics. It doesnt take an Einstein to look around and see good in American society. Look at Aretha, Marvin, we got hundrreds more like them that have overcame. After proclaiming "We shall Overcome". Youre stupid, youre stupid.
I know I said I wouldnt post on this anymore and I apologize for going back on my word. But this is it. Thanks for the many of you who have sent me PM's supporting me. And Phoebe I hope you start playing again. You are the greatest, "titta"!

Apparently some people think education is too difficult, so they try ignorance instead.

Well Peer,

You know us abecedarians sometimes need us someone edjamacated like you to tell us how the big wide world works. :D

(I thought you'd appreciate the big word abecedarians, since you seem to like using big words incessantly. I have found that people who, like you, constantly use big words are compensating for other shortcomings in their lives, either monetary or emotional. It helps you to feel more relevant. :D)

Ewwwwwwwwww.....

Went and looked up that "loogie" stuff... Seems it's a ****** Gross....

"Mucus is a slippery secretion of the lining of the mucous membranes in the body. It is a viscous colloid containing antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozyme) and immunoglobulins. Mucus is produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes that cover the surfaces of the membranes. It is made up of mucins and inorganic salts suspended in water. Phlegm is a type of mucus that is restricted to the respiratory tract, while the term mucus refers to secretions of the nasal passages as well."

I can't believe I've been reading this whole thing. Wow.

Peer...you're a pompous *****, obviously a leftist/socialist. Why are you even here? We're eviiiil capitalist racist mysogynists! We mistreat animals, too!

Typical leftist crap...self-appointed protectors of the meek.

CubC's badmouthing the girl does not represent any national attitude. It represents his own shortcomings. OMGMMFMAFF or whatever seems quite capable of defending herself, something a leftist like you would never understand.

no surprise you live in the Bay Area. Commmie central!

Some of us guys actually have the opposite problem. When I was a young player in WA state, I was gambling with a player named Semo from Chicago in last pocket 8 Ball. I was pulling out occasional circus shots, but generally playing solid, and getting out from everywhere.

Two college age girls were watching from the next table, and when Semo took a break, one of them said "This game's not even a challenge for you anymore, is it?"

Now, I thought it was "just a compliment", from a pretty young lady who didn't know much about the game. Looking back with an slightly older man's perspective, I get the distinct idea that she was giving me an "opening", to talk to her if I wanted to.

As it was, I simply said, "Thank you, but there are players much better than me out there. I just try really hard to play as well as I can."

Both girls were very pretty, and I won enough off Semo to where I could have offered to take both of them out to a late dinner/early breakfast at Denney's or something. Just to be nice, and spread the winnings around a bit. Just making friends, and meeting people, you know? This was a pattern for me. I was so very shy, that unless the girl was fairly aggressive, then I was prone to miss all those little signs that the ladies throw out.

This sort of reminds me of last summer when my parents were visiting from Norway. As we were standing at Sheraton's check-in counter, waiting for our turn, up walks this hot tall tennis player, Daniela Hantuchova, (she was here for Stanford's Bank of the West Classic tournament). As we were standing there waiting for the keys, she says to me "I like your eyebrow." Since I'm the most brilliant Casanova there ever was, I naturally swept her off her feet with my charm, and the rest is history -- she and I have since been dating, and later in July we'll tie the knot.

Well, perhaps in my dreams. Actually, my not-so articulate respond back to her was more like a gawping "Ugh..?" as my face turned red. It didn't help much that my mom was gesticulating behind us, trying to coach me what to say (luckily in Norwegian), "Tell her that you can show her around town and then take her to Gordon Biersch and then play some pool with her". (To my mom, pool, tennis, hockey, baseball, etc. are all the same -- she even calls my cues, "clubs" (from the Norwegian word hockey-k?lle).

As if that wasn't bad enough, it turned out that my parents room was in the same section of the hotel as hers. So I had to endure a long walk behind this hottie while listening to my parents arguing back & forth whether she was too tall for me -- my mom, who always sticks up for me, didn't think so, while my dad wouldn't approve of her since "she's also too skinny"... I was just wishing I could somehow replace them with a set of parents that I could take out in public.

At least it was nice that I for once could (sort of) blame someone else for my romanic debacles. More about my parents: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~peer/parents.html

Yea, it might have been a thing like that. Once he even badmouthed a GF of mine because she was driving a French car... obviously no filter there between the mouth and the brain.

Not surprisingly the first opinion was voiced in the context of what was seen by the poster as a good element of American nature and the second was voiced in the context of something seen by the poster as a less attractive element of American nature.

Those Europeans sure seem to be between a rock and a hard place:)

In the case of those Scandinivanians just stick the boot in lads........but you and the Brits will hopefully continue to be two friendly nations divided by a common language:)
