							| Scripts people play 
 |  
							| I was out on sunday and having fun in the snow under a wonderful blue sky! 
 Today I pay a visit after school to the site and I see all the big DISASTER!
 
 I would advise YOU ALL engaged in the duel on ESL to read the book ( short!!) written
 
 by Eric BERNE: " scripts people play" and you will understand you are all engaged in
 
 a big game where all of you will come out as losers.
 
 So, please, STOP!! Victor is the only one allowed to make the law here!! Noone else
 
 has the right to !
 
 I happened to see an entry by greek professor on sunday morning and it was
 
 great!! 43 answers he got talking about Canellonni!!! People seemed to be so
 
 happy talking and exchanging lightly and humourously! Noone ever mentionned or
 
 even thought of mentionning stolen ws or anything of the sort!! It wasn�t on the
 
 
 
 Maybe we are getting too emotionnal on this site!! maybe this site is imperfect, but
 
 isn�t it what life is all about, So I recommend wisdom!
 
 Cheers to you all!

							| It is a great book - I have always known it as "Games People Play", originally published in 1964. 
 I�ve owned several copies over the years, but keep giving them away...
 
 Oh well, enough playing from me too.
 
 Good night.

							| you�re right: it�s games people play but to avoid the cofusion on the word �games� I think it was changed to �scripts�! or maybe it�s my imagination!! 
 GOOD NIGHT!

							| It was indeed a very special moment we had here on Sunday morning! A wise suggestion you�ve given us right now. Let�s be less emotional. Something a little bit difficult  for Southern Europeans like me.    Have a wonderful day! I�m off to school! |  26 Jan 2009

							| thanks for the link aftab! I didn�t know where to look! Yes, it is called "games people play" .
 
 Can you explain why my messages come out all weird on the board?
 Sentences are not split the way I write them in my messages! Strange!

							| Let�s keep creating. We are happy when we are working. Forget people that are not good enough to be remember.
This site is incredible because the members are incredible.
Thank you, all of you. |  26 Jan 2009
