Dear John and All,
What message to be receieved completely depends on the person as the story itself tells. Right, it was just a good story reflecting possible truths in any medium, in this sub-medium of whole medium too, where discussion, learning, living occurs. We should remind such things ourselves from time to time? No comment. It is just one's peronal choice. To me, the humor is a nice way of describing the behaviours of folks, humans, persons etc rather than a way of telling what to do since, to me again, it assumes no one knows the truths and therefore hesitates to teach anything and what to do then. If one does not know about what lessons to take and what to do, he can SMILE.
By the way, I still sense a prejudice here, particularly in your second paragraph, John. If my post were posted by an American, would you respond in the same manner or would you just smile with some more jokes. Sorry, I am not an American (tribals of the Europe) and happy to live in this part of the world. Are the real borders transformed one-to-one into this cyber-medium?
Ok, ladies and gentlemen, these were jokes and now I have to leave this medium for a while to find a job. We all have stomachs that must be filled by "baklava" to be able to think better on art, science, etc etc. Enjoy the cyber-life, bye...
Best regards,
Erol Abit
ps. Sorry Jerry, we went off your topic a little. But it was because of John. He initiated first.
