Perhaps you should read my last comment again.

Belly, not confused at all but recent events have overtaken my response, to your reply, to Hasbeen:

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=4934#131992

Follow it through.

Secifically:

Professor Fozdar said;

"You had flag flyers who were expressing non-racist views, so I wouldn't like people to go away from hearing about this research thinking, 'oh well all people who have flags on their cars are racist'. That's certainly not the finding."

This is in complete contradiction to what Hasbeen 'wanted to see' or indeed, 'wanted to hear'. So, he makes stuff up:

>> some fool West Australian female professor with an unpronounceable name, has declared her research has proved that people who fly the Oz flag from their car are racists. <<

Your response:

>> Hasbeen I agree think that fool maybe be the reason the story started. <<

I hope that clears things up.

Belly,
There are people who immediately understand what I mean, I can't express myself any more precisely than I do and other people's cognitive dissonance is not my problem.

I have no problem with Indians on the 'phone, I simply tell them, in Hindi, that I can't understand what they are saying, bid them 'Good Evening' and, before they can recover, hang up.

Filipinas are a different matter, their squeaky voices upset my hearing aid but I must be careful as we have some friends from the Philippines, they know however and usually start by saying my name first up.
