Hawk, that's interesting: <Hey Sarman.. Let's try an experiment. I would like you to try, to the best of your ability, to gain my respect, cooperation, and friendship.. And see if you can cause me to run out of justifications for despising you and your idiotic opinions. Believe me, it's unlikely that anything you do will cause me to change my opinion of you. Just feel very fortunate that I'm not seeking your destruction.> People are similar to dogs. Character is not self-determined but is part of the particular pooch. A Welsh springer spaniel behaves as a Welsh springer spaniel should. An Irish setter does Irish setter things. A doberman behaves like they do. A labrador does its labrador ways. A killer kills: Dangerous dogs act legally recognizes the fact of dog temperament en.wikipedia.org Human identical twin studies show the same thing - character is to a large extent genetic. They find that identical twins raised apart become similar to each other as they age, not more different. Initially, under the influence of families, schools, jobs, their own family, they diverge, but as they get older and outside forces reduce, they revert more to true nature. People are like dogs. While we are all one species, and there are wide individual variations, the stereotypical generalisations are true, by and large. Sarman is one of the barbarian breeds and each time he writes something he confirms it. I doubt that he can change his spots. Leopards do leopard things and manifest their leopard thinking. Of course he could be bathed, get a hair cut, put in good clothes, fed, watered and given some rest. Then he might be presentable, for a while anyway, provided he didn't speak much. But pretty soon he'd be snarling and barking and wanting to bite Jews. That's just how the breed is. Mqurice
