Hey JT I'm glad you BUMPED this post and told the final scenario....albeit bland in comparison to the beginning story.

I'm not sure why you bumped it after 3 years in dormancy?

It was a fun read and I agreed most with aquari/Randy's post.

I generally keep 2 topics as taboo for discussion - POLITICS and RELIGION!

With the one simple rule BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BELIEVE......JUST DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT ON ME.

For ME Tiki is a throw back to a more relaxed and fun point in History. I enjoy it's Kitsch factor. I enjoy the islands and things that remind me of good times there!

And if some asks you again, this is what I learned in my college class ANTHROPOLOGY 108 "MAGIC, WITCHCRAFT AND HEALING from a CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE", the only way to give POWER to any item, (Crucifix, Tiki, Buddha figure), is for the person to BELIEVE that it has power! In other words, somebody can't cast a Voodoo Curse on you if YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL DO SOMETHING BAD TO YOU!

If it's against YOUR personal beliefs don't do it....no need to rationalize it.

This country is sick with all it's PC BS.

If you're worried about offending Polynesian culture call this one for their side........ :lol:
