It seemed that Garrick and I 've been talking on different platforms. Here's my
last attempt.

1. Garrick said his initial writing "was reasonably comprehensible by grade
school standard :->> (~$#@)". OK let's agree on this and proceed:

I agree but criticizing someone as "having such a limited vision" is a
"constructive comment"??? If it is so then tell me an example of
non-constructive comment based on the comment above.

Did you get it? Could be my fault though, because I might not be up to grade
school standard ;-). Let's me try again: I said "If you want to make sure I
read it, cc me a copy" = If you want to make sure that I'll read your posting
then send your posting to SCV, and at the same time send a copy to my account.

So much for that huh. These days, is there such thing called e-mail illiteracy?

Try to sing more often whenever you have time. The more singing, the better
your voice become. It take time to practice...

Nowaday, you can buy a Karoke to practice your voice and become familiar with
the music's rythm very quickly. This is one of the options which I recommend. 
For a cheap price, you may try with the second hand Karoke (<200) and borrow
video music from your friends.

Remember that it takes a lot of time to get 'hat' cho hay ho*n, hay co'

You will find that your voice become better as long as you keep practice of
singing.

How to live a bit longer.  Well, maybe ...

Many dieticians agree that red meat is not good for your heart because
of its high cholesterol.  They recommend to eat more chicken and turkey
(w/o skin) because these are low in fat and cholesterol.  I find out that
eating more chicken and turkey does not mean that I have to sacrify the
taste.  On the other hand, I find out that I did not know what I was
missing before !
You probably try "ba'nh cuo'n nha>n thi.t" so many times already, have
you ever tried "ban'h cuo'n nha>n ga` " ?  I find it different and very
delicious !  How about "ba'nh bao thi.t ga`" ?  It's mm mm good !
After I get all the meat out of the turkey, I use the bone to make pho+?
turkey.  The soup is really sweet and tasty.  I think this pho+? turkey
is even better than the traditional pho+? bo`.
Chicken and turkey can also be used in almost any other Vietnamese dishes.
Furthermore, chicken and turkey are less expensive than beef and pork.
Thus, you and your family can save some money to go to ... Las Vegas !!!

in your previous posting there wouldn't be any of my comment posted.

Wasn't it too biased when one acknowledged that an issue is "too divisive and
controversial" and then said a participant had a limited vision concerning the
issue?


/cuong

P.S.
	1. Whether Giao's vision is limited or not is for him to elaborate.
	2. Don't start new thread with my name in it. Beside it's impolite, my
name had nothing to do with this thread, it's your comment that started it. Be
careful with Vietnamese names, they're not Bob, Jack, Gary, John, Dick, etc.

In my previous posting,I mentioned several reasons why I consider Mr.GTV
one who has a limited reason but you did not quote it (is it intentionally
left out?).Let me clarify this further,I said the issue of lifting the VN
embargo was too divisive and controversial.However,I called GTV one with a
limited vision at best since he did not learn the history well enough ,that
he considered communism literally harmless.Let me quote him again "No ideology
can ever kill a population.It's disaster that kills.".Thus I reminded him of
historical events caused by communists that were more than disastrous ,which
ensued in tens of thousand of deaths,even in order of millions in some
instances.
How can one has a vision if he/she has not learned history lessons? Remember
that history repeats itself!This is an entirely different issue,dealing with
the consequential influence of an "ideology".
I certainly hope you will read better next time??
