Are these little white lies where the untruth is trivial or harmless or are they outright deception for selfish reasons? If one can but simply doesn't want to respond to an emergency, does that not shift the responsibility to the next person who may not wish to tell a lie or not know how to say no? Sorry

Everyone can be anything they want, you just have to want it enough and be willing to take a lot of you know what to get there. Bull. But I've already expressed my views on this topic.

I've also done a bus tour of the city of Atlanta called the Unholy Land Tour put on by a guy who runs an urban ministry downtown. Through the tour, the guy explained a lot of the less than wonderful things that go on in certain areas of the city. Also pretty powerful. Some people might benefit from a trip through the slums of Manila, PI. That area makes just about any part of this country, including some of our lovely urban decay, look like Beverly Hills.

I was an expatriated midwesterner in New York for many years. It bugged me that I had to elbow my way to the front and demand my rightful turn at my local deli counter, rather than taking a number as they do in more civilized places, but I learned to elbow like a champ, and I now understand much more about why New Yorkers are the way they are. I lived in NYC for 5 years. Typically, the people I saw cutting in line were first-generation immigrants. A simple statement of there is a line (and appealing to the others who were shoved aside to back you up) was typically enough to cause someone to back down from aggressive line-cutting. The other approach is to catch the eye of the guy behind the counter and state loudly that he will lose your business if he serves people out of turn. Chutzpah is a tool that can be used for good, too.

some of Rabbit's articulate post snipped From there, for me at least, it's just a short step to saying that a business owner has the right to refuse to hire someone _base_d on that person's color because, after all, he owns the business and he's paying the salary. And the hotel owner to refuse a client because it's his hotel. And the restaurant owner If it is a *truly* privately owned business, not publicly funded, then he *should* have this right. Frankly, I feel that a landlord renting a house should have the right to pick and choose to whom they will rent, as well. I don't say that it is *moral* to refuse to hire or rent to _base_d on such things, only that people, in their dealings which are paid for privately, should have the right to discriminate if they like. Here's an example for you... should a Christian bookstore have the right to refuse to hire an atheist? A homosexual? A Satan worshiper? There are those who would make it illegal for that business owner to do so. Should a church which hires workers (such as a secretary, janitor, whatever) have the right to refuse to hire any of the above? If not, why not? Lori

Probably you do some cultural things that would bug people elsewhere. It's irrelevant whether they bug you. What's relevant to the skill Amanda is discussing is that you understand that they're SOP in some places, and learn to deal with it, or stay out of those places. Like maybe I should stay out of Idaho because there are more white supremecists there who wouldn't like a Jew in the neighborhood. Sorry. Doesn't wash. Not all cultures are deserving of a laissez faire attitude. Some need to be exposed to alternatives. Often SOP is due to ignorance of a better system. It was a good thing that Northerners were intolerant of Southern cultural desires to continue to oppress blacks. Yes, disdain, open ridicule and more were entirely appropriate for a Northerner to express even in the deep south. So let me get this straight
