Guest guest Report post Posted May 24, 2006 *shrug* basic gang mentality.... each group had such a distinct set of beliefs and fashion, that it was easy for them to oppose each other and any little thing was blown up in the media i believe, real early on.... so, this just added to tensions and " what was expected " fueled the fires if you will.... >heartwerk <jo.heartwork >May 23, 2006 11:40 PM > > Re: We have rain > >They were fashion-oriented - smart and neat.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 25, 2006 Hi Anouk You certainly do revolt against a lot of things :-) I don't think I would have the energy. I do agree with you about breastfeeding - from experience I can state that it can be done without exposing anything, and it certainly shouldn't worry anyone that you are feeding a baby.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 25, 2006 Ours must be more persistent, or have a worse memory of who they have visited before.
