No ya Boudi, read between the lines.
I think what Basil was trying to say is that Aoun should have
allied himself strictly with France because France is democratic and
does not have the human rights abuses found in Arab countries.
I think we should get Lebanon to join the EEC.

Jokingly yours, 
Elie.

PS: You can replace the word France above with your favorite democratic, 
free of human right abuses country.

I speak Arabic, French, English, and Lebanese.
is there something bad with that?

If I am lebanese , yet I seem to fit more among European cultures, is that bad?
Can I at least be allowed to chose who to identify with? I don't understand why I
wouldn't be allowed, and yet, you want to take this right away from me.

Elie, when I wrote that I agreed with you that Arabs are
incompetent, it was as a reply to your assertions, I said
yes we are, considering the current state of affairs in the
Arab countries, but the Lebanese are even more incompetent
since they are ruled by those incompetent Arabs you were
making fun of.  My statement which was rhetorical, was
used in your first reply after you took it out of context
and deleted the rest of my sentence.  Now I find that you are
using that tactic again to make me sound like I am saying things
that agree with you.  Taking things out of context, and twisting
their meaning to fit your agenda, is not an honorable thing
to do.
I repeat to you, that I am indeed proud of being Arab,
I resent your statements especially the one you addressed
to Walid Saba where you said "typical dumb Arabic mentality",
this is the third time I mention this ungraceful, offending
and racist slur you posted on the net.  As Ayman said
I am disappointed that not too many people seem outraged at
such statements you utter, and I am still waiting for a retraction
and an apology from you.
The fact that your apology is not forthcoming proves that you really
meant to say those racist remarks and  you are not even trying
to hide your racism.

Look who is talking...!!!
Victor...Do you recall your statement regarding the Druze
being Jews that came from Spain in 1492 to establish the
Jewish state...No wonder you are defending another outrageous
statement like Mr. Karam's, that has no objective, but to
degrade and humiliate a majority in Lebanon...

You seem very reasonable sometimes, but I am really puzzled
with this emotional and naive outburst on your part.
Should we start putting every group on trial here, because
of variuos stereotypes, be it true or untrue?  

If that is the case, then you, Karam and the like are as 
hypocrate as one can be...

I'm not really sure if the place still exists or if it's at the above address,

Has anybody here played Dip-Shin [Saucer Spirit] before?

By accident I stumbled to a group called alt.paranormal, and people there
are talking about Ouija, which uses wooden triangle and a wooden board, and
works just like Dip-Shin, except it has English words on the board.

And somebody said Ouija was given to them as a kid's gift! I really doubt
any parent in HK would give their children Dip-Shin set as gift...

It clearly shows that the westerners are much less serious than the orientals
in this matter (although many people in that newsgroup believe the power of
Ouija).

It's my first time to hear someone said he had tried hard, though I still
doubt... Do you remember his ace song "Sorry I love you"? I agree that it's
a very good song, especially the melody and lyrics. Maybe he had tried hard
to look for a good studio or some high tech acoustic intruments, therefore
he forgets to sing it 'like a bit qualified singer' in life shows.

Alex is OK though it'd be better if his jeans can be a little bit longer.
Sandy? I'm afraid, you know, I cannot come with my girl friend :)

>Any thing else?

The worst one probably is Danny Chan - like a Robot :)
Grasshopper, I think, is quite good.
How about Tam Yiu Man then?

   Try Sogo in HK. It carries lots of camping, hiking equipment,
they used to put all those kind of stuff on level 4 (penthhouse).
I think back packs with external frame should be around HK $500+,
and they may be slightly cheaper in HK.( no tax ! )
