Shahla Ghannadian cried Sunday for most of the flight home to Toronto. Hours earlier, while sightseeing in Sausalito, her husband lost her Louis Vuitton purse.But it wasn't just any Louis Vuitton purse. This one contained jewelry worth more than $1 million. Ghannadian held out hope, but knew the chances of recovering the valuables were slim. So the phone call from Sausalito police on Monday came as a shocker. San Rafael resident John Suhrhoff had found the purse and turned it over to police with all its contents -- including a Cartier watch, diamond and ruby rings, pearl earrings, necklaces with large diamond stones, and $500 in cash. "My mom started to cry again and my dad became very emotional, too," Ghannadian's 28-year-old son, Ali Khalili, said of the phone call. "That was a big deal. There are still good people in this world." Ghannadian had left her husband in charge of the purse for a just few minutes while sightseeing in Sausalito, and he must have forgotten it on a park bench, Ali Khalili said. Ghannadian realized the purse was missing as the family was at their San Francisco hotel room, preparing to leave for the airport. They rushed back to Sausalito but could not find the purse. Sausalito police said Suhrhoff found the purse Sunday on a park bench behind a bank on Bridgeway Street. Suhrhoff took the purse to Sausalito police Monday and asked nothing in return, according to police Sgt. Kurtis Skoog. "He left his name and address, but not to get a reward," Skoog said. "He said, 'If they want to thank me, here's my information.' '' Suhrhoff, a 56-year-old respiratory therapist, told the Associated Press he found the purse during a lunch break while hiking.
Good for him, It would be hard to return the purse but I hope I would have done the same thing.

Well, he did think the jewellery was fake, but there was ALSO cash in the bag, which was not taken. So yeah, integrity.For me, I can't honestly say what I would do. It's the typical amoralist/moralist situation. No chance in hell of getting caught; do you take it, or return it? For me, $1 million is my entire education paid for, and my brother's and my two sisters'. It'd be a hard choice for me.

We're discussing the word, not using it as an insult. There's a huge difference.Kinda like how I can say "Why do you call each other 'wops' if it's such an insult?" without you getting offended by the mere utterance of the word.
People who refuse to say "nigger" out of respect should be shot. People who refuse to use it as a deragotary term should get a prize.

Obviously Rvr's a Nazi!!! quote:
Sweden applied Nazi race laws in wartime, study shows
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden helped the Nazis stop Germans and Jews marrying and suppressed criticism of Hitler and reports of atrocities, says new research suggesting neutral Sweden accommodated the Nazis more than previously thought.
