Have another cup of Java.

I am questioning your motive not your rights, I thought that was 
obvious.

You don't know that, and you don't know many girls apparently. 
How many Japanese girls do you know in San Fransico? Seriously 
the rarified atmosphere of sci.lang.japan won't teach you much.

Names like Friend, Chasity and Hope certainly did. George too but

"Many, many" is about how many? More than 46? Or more like 2000?

If I had studied logic I would probably have a term to describe 
that statement, arguing something new. But regardless that is 
quite different to "They don't mean shit." Strange you seem to
