[blparent] wow kindergarten has changed!

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I don't agree.  No matter what your culture is, some basic socialization 
never hurts.  I would expect the same if I were living in a place where a 
culture besides mine was dominant.  But that's the beauty of diversity, 
there's room for differing opinions.

It is easy--terribly easy--to shake a man's faith in himself. To take 
advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. Take care of what 
you are doing. Take care.--George Bernard Shaw in "Candide"
