"You don't have to be different to be good. Being good is different enough."
--Arthur Freed (lyricist or "Singing in the Rain, among others).

On the other hand, being different doesn't necessarily make one "bad".

Good thought, peter

Good and different aren't necessarily mutually exclusive conditions. However, anybody who is obviously trying to hard for either, is usually not enjoyable. The happy medium is someone who has the experience to know how to just let it flow.

I get inspired by the person who has no clue how different they are. That is pretty good in my eyes.

Happy New Year Peter

Well other than the fact that Luther says we're all different and Bert says Luther's different, I haven't had a thought all day worth repeating.

MMario, don't go mentioning me and 'Spaw in the same breath. We're different. (well actually HE's the one that's different)

I would like to offer up the answer that Brian Mulroney (Canadian Prime Minister, a few years back) gave at the Meech Lake Summit, where Quebec was trying to be declared a "distinct society", and all of the other provinces were fighting it.

Loosely summarized, his response, in the form of The Meech Lake Accord, was to make each province a "distinct society" ... or, to apply it to this thread: "You're all different" ... or, to apply it to my personal opinion: "You're all a bunch of freaks".

Paul.

Paul - *grin* - it's so horrible how you mince around what you really mean. Can't you for once come out and say it straightforward?
