Tell me, where are the Sikkh principles in that? From the length and fury of this post, I'd say you've accepted my debate anyway. Besides, selling clothes just isn't my thing. I much prefer selling independent movies, but that's another matter :wink: "Threats" of peoples' intolerance to put up with people who don't agree with their views. Angry people. Ignorant people. People like you. Yeah, coz I've got nothing better to do than to sit around making underwear. We know what will happen, because the world is full of fanatics like you who are too insecure about their own beliefs to allow anyone else's beliefs be expressed if they are contrary to their own. I love you too. [/QUOTE]
