most people pick out their clothes because they like the look, they have no idea what means what in another country. buyers buy clothes thinking they will sell based on look alone. I have a shirt that is a sushi menu in Japanese. I didn't find out until the Japanese tested out here. They got a kick out of it.

are you saying there are other arguments there? show me a political discussion that doesn't compare everyone who disagrees with terrorists, or destroying the world, economic or physical, or the souls of disbelievers, or insult the intelligence for believing or disbelieving in something. I don't think that was a bad experience. I summed up the soap box pretty well, you just don't like hearing the summary. It may sound pretty bad when compressed to Reader's digest version, but it is the truth. All arguments go those directions, every single one, except for a joke or two, but even a few jokes get pulled those ways also. pick a subject, and you know who you will insult, and who the others will insult, you know what will be said, and eventually those comparisons will be made, one or all of them, and you will even make a few of those comparisons yourself, as will others. and you will cheer, and others will jeer or vice versa. And that is the soap box, summed up pretty accurately.

I think your diatribe is exactly the kind of post you are complaining about - you didn't use any four-letter words, but it demands that things be seen in black-and-white. When combined with your other posts on the subject, it seems clear that you regard those of us who post in SB as mentally or emotionally deficient and that the possibility that a reasonably intelligent, reasonably stable human might enjoy the give and take of SB without displaying sub-human tendencies seems never to have entered your mind. I would suggest that, if you have anything more to say that continues in this vein, that you take it to the Soapbox :laugh:

hehehe, yeah, I could see me getting a tatoo of an oriental dragon with japanese writing on it, and the tattoo artist choosing the words "raw squid" because it looks good. :-D Luckily, I never got a tattoo! just wild shirts. :-D I will admit we all had a good laugh, and they read to me my shirt and we were laughing for at least 20 minutes. "hey what is this one?" "That is squid" and this? "fish eye soup" :laugh: :laugh:
