I've often wondered if Gelfling had alcohol or an equivalent to it on
Thra.. Haha sorry I just find the thought of a Gelfling barroom brawl
amuzing. The mental image of that is gonna keep me giggling for the
rest of the day now thank you for that.

Yes I posted this a similar point of veiw in a response to Kira's
post. Even some of the most compassionate members of our society
seem to be very selective with their compassion.

Haha there's a lot of things about my people that I don't get
either. Confusing isn't it the common human beleif that 'sex is
dirty, discusting, wicked and wrong.. So therefore you should save
it for someone you love'.. You see that's another thing about your
society that is better than ours. In our society not only do we
demonize sex but applaud violence.
