No.
We're Europeans and (north)Americans and (at least one and distinguished) South African.
Where are the Asians and Africans and South American that cannot afford this luxury? We should always remember
that and remember
them.
Before they can join us I can't even hear about "global harmony". Sorry about politicizing this nice thread but I know for a fact that the Sisters have many fans in Brazil though they cannot afford Internet. As simple as that.
What I wonder, though, is why aren't any Japanese amongst us?
OK, I'm not talking about a Japanese invasion but at least
one should be here too. Why do you think they don’t?...

So why are they silent? Don't tell me they can't speak English!
Perhaps it's that Eastern culture: "listen one thousand times, speak only one"; "silence is gold"; ermmm... and others I've seen in karate films.

Twas a pun my friend.
Bah like a sheep (the banned Welsh joke) and Bah, as in, Bah, we're not allowed to make jokes.
The question mark was to highlight it's self referential nature.
Although, considering I was responding to a post at the bottom of page 1 I can see your confusion.
My bad.
