Calm down, JS. No body implied you were wrong about knowing what a bullet hole looks like, we were just saying that we live in NA and we don't see them driving past us. I used the term "skin flick" loosely as a less than 1000 word way to say obvious nudity. It is hard for me to keep to the discussion of attitudes about nudity and violence when my comments are blown out of proportion like this and then having insult added on top. I end up having to defend myself for things I never said or meant, rather than enjoying a spirited discussion of an interesting topic. And FYI, the Laconia Bike Week happens not far from here and it has been years since there was any violence. -- Spirit World

In reply to: John Scott 's message, "Well Lissa, the reason I mentioned the experiences I had was just to let you know that I know what a bullet hole looks like, because it was implied I may have been wrong. Not likely. As for blanket statements, look around you, look at your tv. Whether you choose watch a program or not is just that, a choice. The fact is violence is very much on your tv stations, whether you personally watch it or not. Look in your schools, forget that I have had friends shot to death, or beaten to death, just take a look at your news and see how violent it is. D.C has one murder each day, while I was there, there were 5 in 3 days. That is just one city!>>>" on 13:35:13 08/28/03 Thu
