<p>yeah, well english is stoopid too</p>
<p>not as stupid as math. I hope math burns in Hell for all eternity...</p>
<p>WHOAH KEBREE!</p>
<p>get your mind out of the gutter.</p>
<p>meanwhile the book was not porn, it was PHOTOGRAPHY, something you would know dearly since the only way you can paint is if you are staring at a picture.</p>
<p>oh, and whoever said dry saracasm, my freudian mind read it as dry orgasm </p>
<p>"dont you love dry orgasms!" AHHH</p>
<p>oh, ilcapo, i don't even have anything to say to your last comment. you know you've lost your soul to CC when these sorts of statements start to become endearing and an integral part of the P-ton board experience.</p>
<p>haha. "lost your soul." that's a good way to describe it.</p>
<p>60 60 60 60 60</p>
<p>Well..that wasn't exactly the response I expected, but, well....maybe I should have expected the unexpected, ahem.</p>
<p>haha, nice barb on the photo refs....but don't worry, I've painted plein air many times before....watercolors, mostly. (Have you tried painting w/oils outside? Bugs seriously *love *that smell and throw themselves on the surface of the canvas...bah...though on 2nd thought, maybe the South is more plagued by bugs...)</p>
<p>and I'll keep my mind out of the gutter, don't worry =) I was actually more concerned about you, haha.</p>
<p>wow ilcapo....dirty diryt mind</p>
<p>cry, the beloved country</p>
<p>That was random, but I'm not going to ask why because I'm loving that book so far. Even though I'm only in chapter 5, haha.</p>
<p>That has been the worst book I have read. It misrepresented the culture as something pastoral and lovely, when the real South Africa is run down and ramshackle. I visited there on a Mission trip for seven months (I went to private school at the time), and in Cape Town, we wrote for a local Christian publication and helped repair Shantytowns (you have heard of them in the book). The writer does not accurately reflect the conditions there. The whites and blacks have strong tension, and blacks blame whites for being greedy elitist, and whites blame blacks for being filthy beasts. It was pretty bad. More than outright prejudice in law, as the book details, there was prejudice largely by word of mouth. blacks weren't only held in servants' spots--they were referred to as objects. while we learned a lot, the trip was one of the worst experiences of my life.</p>
<p>dude, im seriously starting to think that you're my evil twin from like a parallel universe or something</p>
<p>I've still enjoyed it so far. Sometimes you enjoy a book not so much for whether its historically accuracy, but its message. Still, I'm not even close to halfway finished. Good so far, though.</p>
