I bet she misses you...

I'm dutch/english/irish... which explains my temper, I suppose...

But I gotta say.. yoyotwat does have a BIT of a point.. arranged marriages do seem to have better success rates... however.. that might be because women are taught in that society to keep their mouths shut, to always bend to the husband's will, to be inferior. (This is what I have learned from friends of mine who have grown up in such a society, and from dating a man who was from the India region). When that guy started to get all 'traditional' on me... he was on the curb faster than I can say Rig Veda. I could never go into an arranged marriage... I'm too passionate, too tempermental, too anti-authoritarian. I would rather my heart choose for me than my head... and I know that, in the end, my heart will make the right choice.

I'm Polish, Hungarian, Scottish, Irish, and we think there's some Cherokee Indian on my father's side, but we haven't been able to verify it yet.

I consider vixenshe a celestial body, and I wouldn't mind in the least being arranged with her in any way she desires.

NOT raising my hand!


Yayati can write some good stuff, but his mudslinging and insult hurling makes me want to hurl something!


I am French Canadian with a wee bit of German. Of course, in Yayati's mind I am nothing but an American slut.


Oh well

Good morning all! How do you take your coffee?

I thought you said you were going away, yoyotwat.

 

[cymbidia]

yati? I've told you this a lot of times before - no one reads what you say when you do the diatribe thing.


~~~~~~~~~~
Also, it's interesting to me that every single newbie to Lit with a penchant for fitting in thinks s/he can do a bit of yati bashing and be perfectly justified and immediately accepted as one of the gang.

Like any of us, yati has a histroy here. It's not without *many* bumps and dips, but he's been here for a year. He's been up and down, had more lucid times, been roundly reviled and almost made sense a few times, too.

You can't just do a bit of yati bashing, make fun of his av, perhaps, or his nick, and have everyone here give you a standing ovation. It takes just alittle more than that - and yati is a more complex character than that, too - for all that this thread definitely doesn't show it.

Okay, back on track.
yati, i've told you and told you and told, over and over in the last year, no one reads your long winding political rants.

Break them into pieces.
Give people chance to respond before posting more.
Stop harassing CB and Chey and DCL.
And quit drinking coffee, for gods sakes! You've had enough for today!

Actually, I read the entire post. Twice. I didn't read the diatribe to Brian twice, but I did skim it over. Got a fairly high opinion of yourself, Yayati, and an unshakeable belief that you're right. That kind of belief empowers people to make a lot of changes in the world. It doesn't ensure that those changes are good, though.

I can see how arranged marriages would work in a culture where they're accepted. Although parents are not all-wise, they nearly always have more experience and discretion than their children. But in any society like ours, where children are taught to doubt, break away from, and even ridicule their parents, such a system would not work. A child would reject any arranged match simply for the fact that it was arranged.

I'm not even going to say that the way television teaches children to ignore their parents is wrong--I should have started ignoring my own parents far sooner than I did, but they chose to have me grow up without television

This could be construed as offensive to some of the newbies. Maybe they've tried to engage him in a civil manner and have been treated rudely and therefore just want to bash for the sake of bashing.

Or, I've been out in the sun too long today...
