There's two responses to that:-

1. That's 'cos they were Welsh, not English!

2. Spoke funny, compered to whom? Are you an American, by chance? Surely (in 
grammatical terms *only*), you mean "spoke in a funny manner". In any event, 
the English speak beautiful English (and I should know, for I am one! :-) )

Perhaps, but why settle for something less than what you want?  Somebody
mentioned that if you did find a (M/F) with these qualities, that they would be
boring.  Not true!  I tend to look for what they are passionate about.  By
no means are they necessarily boring at all.  Emotions can be shared without

I can think of a couple of reasons for ranting, raving, name-calling,
etc.  The first reason is to make sure the offending individual fully
understands how offensive they are--they might think they're being
funny or cute, or that something is minor, when to you it is quite
irritating or painful.  It's worth making sure they understand.  If
they still want to be an asshole, then that's their choice.

The second reason is to make sure that other people don't think that
the offensive individual's actions or words are acceptable.  If you
quietly accept what the obnoxious person does, then observers might
not realize that you are offended and therefore assume that the 
behavior is acceptable.

Of course, quiet discussion might be more effective than ranting,
raving, and name-calling, but it's not nearly as much fun.

Everyone my age (mid-20s) who is single has at one
time or another probably been to Sams Anchor Cafe in
Tiburon in Marin.  I go there alot to meet with girl-
friends (all single), catch some rays and check out 
the view (and occasionally, when the employees aren't
looking, feed the seagulls).

Its alot of fun and the crowd is usually very yuppie.
You don't even have to go with someone on Sunday's if
the 49ers are playing, because in the front room is
a crowd of people piled into this corner so they can
all see the TV.  It's a blast.

I'd date the person in scenario #1.  The person in #2 isn't
anyone I'd be interested in getting to know better.  The amount
of formal education a person has just isn't that important to 
me.  I'm much more interested in how well he *thinks*, how 
well-read he is, etc.  You don't necessarily need a PhD to
acquire those attributes.

McCarthy was condemned by the Senate, not censured.  The vote was 67 to 22.
Seven Senators did not vote (only 48 states in 1954).

The range of classes that you take is pretty good so everyone ought to be

No, actually, I would consider changing the force of someone's onward
charge a little different from, say breaking their arm with their own
forward momentum.  But you completely ignored the other suggestions, most
of which are sufficient to stop violence before it happens, in ordinary
circumstances.  There are extreme circumstances, such as a sniper on
a florida highway or a crazed fundamentalist holed up in a church with
his family, where some sort of forceful action is the only solution.
Doesn't make it right, it just makes it less wrong than letting the
whacko continue to assault other people.

Actually, the history I've been exposed to suggested nothing about the
US and British disarmament.  The lengths to which the Versailles Treaty
went to keep Britain unarmed is a commonly accepted contributing cause.
I have seen nothing to suggest that british/us disarmament (to what
extent did we in fact disarm, before WWI and WWII?) prompted the attacks
on western and eastern europe in either war. The US was an issue only
after those maneuvers were begun....
