    Learn about other cultures, races, nations, etc..
    Besides, back in my wild young days I was a vodka drinking freak, back then top vodka's were Smirnoff, TyVarsky(spellings?) and one other but I FORGET THE NAME.

    I am also glad that there are Americans who are intelligent and can behave themselves. Unfortunately I can see the posts in quotes of those who were brought up in pigsty. But such persons are everywhere, so I don't care.

    I don't have a problem with him. What I have noticed from our international members is they are far less tolerant to difference. And, guess which ones try to pretend they have me on ignore?

    I don't know how to teach tolerance. I listen to everyone. Agree or not. I also can't teach perception. If I don't like someone, everybody on the board knows it. Dislike and disagreement are two very different things.
