I hope you didn't mean anything you said in either of those posts because if you did I feel really bad for you. Not only do you take internet stuff way too seriously but you don't get humor too well either. Hell, even if you didn't mean it I feel bad you wasted so much time posting those crazy meaningless and backwards messages.

If you did mean it, let me fill you in on something: I don't "hate" anyone. I am not some young "thug" as they term it now going around trying to prove my manhood by 'besting' someone else in crude verbal sparring. I am old, have grown kids, and a lot of learning under my belt that makes me feel like a different person when I read the things you wrote, it's crazy and none of this makes sense, just drop it ok?

I am laughing hard because there's been no condenscension on my part, and you have stretched this pretty far for whatever doubled emotional purpose it serves you. You might say your laughing and it's all funny for you, but there is a difference between our posts. Yours contain extremely nasty tone and content, mine don't, when I read yours I detect beyond mere hostility and almost a vengeful hatred which is stupid over something like this topic. Then you spend the rest of the time backpeddling yourself trying to downplay your heated rhetoric. Just end it here ok? There's no need to continue your cycle of half-nasty half-trying-not-to-care posts.

Who said anything about half-nasty? I was trying for, and got (I think), whole-nasty.

Let me know when you want your last word. I will openly admit I am stubborn enough to want it:). I wouldn't want to damage your carefully-crafted real disinterest by having you continue to post in this thread in response to yours truly...

Too late!

No disinterest in mine, its been raining here all day and my fishing trip's been ruined due to river flooding. [Frown]
I actually don't think you got nasty enough, if you don't call me bourgeoisie by the end of this page you will severely dissapoint me. [Big Grin]

Well, heck, I finally actually watched it.
I thought it was fabulous, and did not miss the gods one bit.

I have the same question as Tom, though.

How come Agamemnon gts a good, clean death by soldier than the nasty stabbling in the bath by his wife that he deserves?

(aside)After watching the patriots play Miami today, ithought, man, Doug Flutie s the perfect Greek hero.

Watching historical fiction movies is brutal for me. Twice this week, the death of Caesar on "Rome," and the death of Hector and Achilles in "Troy" had me sobbing.

I grew up on stories of Achilles and Troy. I did not like the movie, especially Achilles who was depicted as a spoilt brat, and whose fighting style was just plain annoying.
