1. Until you walk a mile in another man's moccasins

you can't imagine the smell.

[KitchenWitch]

2. hahaha

:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

3. Aren't those babies poisonous?

Wouldn't you rather walk in a boa?

[KitchenWitch]

5. At least they are not anacondas!

[Lefta Dissenter]

4. then you're a mile away

and you have the guy's moccasins. :7

6. I've _never_ heard a Native American

use that phrase, "Walk a mile in another's moccasins," but I've seen it on lots of kitchy, rip-off, copycat Indian-esque posters and greeting cards. :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

7. Yeah

but it is a good commentary on how to treat other people, no?

[Heidi]

8. Oh, I agree that it's a nice sentiment.

No argument there.

[AVulgarianHue]

15. I've heard Native Americans

say this. Elders, before all the kitsch, before all the Indian wannabes.

[LastKnight]

9. assuming its an 'old' native american saying...

how would an old native american know what a mile is, (assuming 'old' means pre - european colonization)?

[hfojvt]

10. I prefer to walk

3,219 meters in another person's shoes.

[KitchenWitch]

11. that works

[enigmatic]

12. I know what you mean

I just spent some time reading GD just now and I'm burned out on that place. I reallt need to take break from it and stay in here...

[WCGreen]

13. I saw you over there a while back.....

Trying to bring calm to the choppy waters....

Nahh, can't be done...

Too much Kool Aide

[enigmatic]

16. Waaaay too much

and it's starting to scare me. I just have this feeling that what's happening down in Crawford is going to end up very, very ugly, and I'm sick over it..

[KitchenWitch]

18. Oh, then I am not the only one

with a sinking feeling in my stomach...I wholeheartedly support Cindy, but I think the evil she is facing down is relentless.

[enigmatic]

19. I support her too

But there seems to be alot of people that want an all-out rumble over this, and that her message is going to be lost in the ugliness seems inevitable, and that's what makes me sick.

It's like a runaway train now, and I'm really, really hoping that the original message she's trying to get out rises above the white noise, because that message needs to be heard..

[KitchenWitch]

21. There are so many things that can distract from her simple message

:(

[enigmatic]

23. yep

And I hate being a pessimist about this; that's why I hope I'm way, way wrong..

[KitchenWitch]

25. I am a cynical optimist

how is that for an oxymoron!

[enigmatic]

26. or a broken-hearted idealist

I always loved that; that's how Bill Hicks described himself..

[KitchenWitch]

27. Oh, I like that one

it fits.

[WCGreen]

20. I know....

I think it is either gonna go from scuffle to death....

Or the Bush team will figure out someway to defuse the situation with their decided skill at propoganda...

And if that happens, there is so much being put on CS, that it could completely destroy the budding peace movement....

That is my fear....

[KitchenWitch]

14. I got really pissed at someone on one of the threads

I decided that this individual was not worth getting banned over.

[enigmatic]

17. It's not

Step away from it; that's the only way..

[Tom Kitten]

22. Barry Shrunk

it's now 125 x 199 pixels...

You know my real name? It's never been a secret but I'm stunned, nobody's ever called me by my real name here before...

[KitchenWitch]

24. Did not know your name was Barry

When I mentioned Barry, I was referring to MrScorpio's sig picture of Barry White.

:hi:

[Tom Kitten]

28. okaay.......

that's weird, I for some reason thought you were talking to me, as it turned out my sig pic was too big also...
I guess I'm getting drowsy, I should go to bed...

[KitchenWitch]

29. I can see why that spooked you

No I am not clairvoyant! :rofl:
