When someone mentioned about this movie, I should say the movie is very
interesting. There is another question raised in the movie "Can man
and woman become friends?" I think the older you are, the harder you
can find a friend in opposite sex (I mean real friend).

Sure, it *guarantees* to work.  Nonetheless, to work for what?  What is the
goal of humiliating him in the public?  to help the public to stay away from
him or to help him in becoming a better person? 

If the former is the goal, then go right ahead, humiliate him in front of
thousands of people.  However, if the latter is the goal, please think
twice before doing anything silly.

>P.S.  On second note what do people do about "FEMALE COLOUR WOLF"?  pubic humiliation

Why not?  because female has a stronger ego?  or because they have a weaker
ego?  or simply because they shouldn't be treated like men?  Please explain
and be a little more specific.  Thanks.

No offense to anyone (particularly all our female netters and buddy o' buddy

I watched alot of football when I first came to the States, but I've gotten
quite bored with it and started watching/reading about baseball.  The more
I learn about the game, the more I'm started to see its elegance.  Thomas
Boswell had a few good baseball books that you've just got to read.

Well, I don't have any problem with being friends with member of the
opposite sex, as long as I'm not trying to get her to go out with me.
It's hard to be a *true* friend if you are thinking about how to ask
her out on dates in the back of your mind.
