Perhaps Philip is suggesting that the world would function just as well if some of those kinds weren't around. (And I agree. I mean, those who don't like chocolate can stay of course, but the child molesters, as an example, don't really enhance this place a whole lot.)

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!

“I can't remember where I heard it: It doesn't take all kinds -- there are all kinds.
Hi Philip.  I'm not sure I follow your meaning.  Are you saying that you usually hear it as the pink version, or that you usually hear it with are instead of takes?

No, Avangi, that isn't what I was trying to say.  I just heard that quote in a movie or somewhere.  It represented the thoughts of the speaker in that situation.  I thought it was rather clever.

Hi GG.  Would it be okay if we kept the strippers around for awhile too??
