Stuart, sembra che l'ambizione della vostra vita del cyber debba schioccare il mio aerostato. Ma vedete, che voi don't si alzano abbastanza presto. Non pensate abbastanza profondamente, la lingua inglese non siete un giocattolo a voi ch'è un attrezzo. Che, come l'opera è una tragedia, ma esso non è il vostro difetto. Probabilmente avete assistito alla "public school".

It's about Respect, PEOPLE.

Basically what I'm seeing here is the old "Urban vs. Rural" fight rehashed. City folks pointing fingers at the guy who looks at Starbucks and JC Penney's and is left cold, and making snide rebukes. Especially you, Ramen. "Enslaved horses," my ass and what's in it. Do everyone a favour and stow the PeTA rhetoric.

Ric, I'm a horsewoman, too. Hope your horses are okay; give them a scritch under the jaw bars for me and I'll do the same for my boy. You have a very rich life and I salute you. In respectful response to your assertions, the people of Black Rock City do live according to natural rhythms. When the sun gets too high, we retreat under the shade and sit or lie quietly, chatting with each other, drinking water and rubbing limes on our feet until the heat breaks. We do the same thing when the dust storms come through. We applaud sunsets and rainbows, hold processions of thanksgiving for rainfall, give shade and water to the kangaroo rats, mantids and little birds we find in camp. We howl to salute the rising of the moon. The sun and the moon, the dust devils and midday sunstorm are our clock, and I and every campmate I've ever had respect these things.

while I love the cadence and lyricism of spoken Italian it is undeniable that english is a far more efficient language due in large part to it's unsurpassed vocabulary. English can also be spoken with a lyrical cadence. The dotted eigth followed by sixteenth like rhythm of a heavy Irish accent comes to mind.

Scoring points against you is far from impossible. When you troll for the sake of trolling you invariably set yourself up. Your deflection about being a self professed liar not withstanding.

And FWIW my education skipped cheerily between institutions public and private.
