just curious Virgil, you seem to have very fixed views.

Ravs

Ah, and I'm lone and singular in this attribute?

I guess you can just chalk it up to being a reasonably well read and educated southern moderate conservative with a loosely Christian base. Like I said, it's probably next to impossible to give you a real answer to the question without writing a small novel.

[ravells]

I shall answer with the Mr Black gambit! ^

The reason I ask is that you seem very comfortable in your black and whites, and you don't appear to have any shades of grey in your thought.

Could you at least write the forward of your novel for us?

Nah. Why bother? Just follow along with the masses that figure I'm just too freakin simple minded to contemplate "grey areas", it makes it easier on everyone.

This is supposed to make sense?:

"May I ask you a question?"

"Yes."

..... the end.

Who does that?

"May I ask you a question?"

"Yes."

"May I ask you another?"

"No."

I think it comes from a Marx Bros. movie, maybe "A Day at the Races"

[ravells]

Oh come on!

So how exactly would you word the situation wherein you ask permission to ask a question? Seems it would wind up in some kind of infinity condition and the participants would be whisked back in time.

[ravells]

Would you mind if I asked you how you came to that conclusion, Nash?

Here's a common example:

Wife:"Honey, can I ask you a question without getting mad?"

"Sure honey, it's up to you whether you get mad or not."

Nice.

[Holden McGroin]

"Kind Sir, if I may be so bold to assume I have permission to ask the very question I utter presently, I would like to ask you a series of questions, the number of which is yet to be determined, and I was hoping that you may be so inclined to grant me your benevolence in answering the aforementioned interrogatory series."

I think that may be appropriate.

[ravells]

That sounds like the begining to the next 'Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy' Holden!

Ravs

[Nash]

LOL Holden! Air-tight!

what's wrong with... "mind if I ask you a few questions?"

If you ask for one and then ask two you are being a salesman.

so far, diablo and virgil are the only ones making sense... diablo if you want to live a prticular style of life and virgil for everything else.

"grey" areas are a matter of degree..  there may indeed be grey areas in life but there is no need to dismiss the hard stuff... the hard decisions by labeling them "grey" areas..  We all run into enough hard decisions in life without manufacturing them.
