	I'll start an argument and probably won't bother finishing it.<G>

	I'd just say that's fairly judgmental. I knew a Turkish person who came
and spent time in the US. He would frequent the church and play a lot
with the kids there. At some point he was simply told he was unwelcome.
His behavior with the kids was "alarming" for them and they were worried
he was/would be a child molester. Of course, his behavior was "standard"
where he came from.

	These things just aren't as obvious as they seem.
