Well oh Subtitled One, it's not good enough to find out what you're referring to here - help me out! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Read through my post thrice and I can't find anything - I feel stupid!

Edit: Doh, nevermind! In my defence, it was just a typo, I was thinking of the whole verb, not about the metal type! :D
(if you're talking about lead, that is...)

Editedit: Oh and Dave, absolutely agree with you there. [img]smile.gif[/img] Hadn't considered it that way yet...

Nice story or should I say FAQ. [img]smile.gif[/img]

That was what I was talking about! :D Sorry!!

No offense, but even if there are bits of 'sanity' among the rest, this sort of things usually just annoys me. Simplistic covers it, I guess, but also there's the nagging feeling that in an attempt to prove a point, people who use such methods of delivery are also trying for the 'my side is so very innocent' look and it wears thin after a while as in politics I've rarely seen one side be blameless in anything.

Besides, I could swear I saw something similar on the net a few months ago only it was a 'bedtime story' or somesuch...kinda trite, IMO.

Very funny! Reminds me of the old bible saying about the virtue of seeing the world through the eyes of a child.

That's just it, unless I missed my guess it's all contrived...ie: it's a fake. ;) If a REAL child had said all that, I'd be surprised, but also impressed.

For an adult to try to see things in a innocent, child-like manner takes a stretch of the imagination and an openess to to percieve things differently. This becomes more challenging as a person ages and the more entrenched one becomes in opinion and belief.

It 'feels' too much like a set up to arrive at the 'necessary' conclusions on the whole, that's all.

Here, here. What a great post.
