Has anybody noticed that everytime GVV gets cornered he attacks the person personally,also despite all the religion he throws around another thing to remember is "who was GODS most trusted confidant"therefore he knows the bible just as well and definately better than you and I,so maybe this GVV is the one cast out from Heaven to dwell in Hell forever as stated in the Holy word

What's the difference between "a curtsy", and "the courtesy"?
The same as the near canal and the far canal

It just sounds so funny that Manual was a member of the Cape Coons and now his a member of Parliament. I often see him walking along the beach front in Sea Point and I can tell you that he is a nobody without his minirterial frock on.

You quote the dictionary the same way that you interpret the bible - erroneously. From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/curtsy: "an act of civility, respect, or reverence made mainly by women and consisting of a slight lowering of the body with bending of the knees". Nowhere does it say it is synonymous with "courtesy" - because it is not.

It was not a quote that was changed, it was a copy and paste. Maybe you should look at the word courtesy then, point 5. cour·te·sy (kûrÆtA s" or, for 5, kûrtÆs"), n., pl. -sies, adj. -n. 1. excellence of manners or social conduct; polite behavior. 2. a courteous, respectful, or considerate act or expression. 3. indulgence, consent, or acquiescence: a "colonel" by courtesy rather than by right. 4. favor, help, or generosity: The costumes for the play were by courtesy of the local department store. 5. a curtsy. -adj. 6. done or performed as a matter of courtesy or protocol: a courtesy call on the mayor. 7. offered or provided free by courtesy of the management: While waiting to board the airplane, we were provided with courtesy coffee. [1175-1225; ME curteisie < AF, OF; see COURTEOUS, -Y3] -Syn. 1. courteousness, civility, urbanity. 1. courtesy (Webster's dictionary) 1) n. Politeness; civility; urbanity; courtliness. 2) n. An act of civility or respect; an act of kindness or favor performed with politeness. 3) n. Favor or indulgence, as distinguished from right; as, a title given one by courtesy. 4) n. An act of civility, respect, or reverence, made by women, consisting of a slight depression or dropping of the body, with bending of the knees. 5) v.i. To make a respectful salutation or movement of respect; esp. (with reference to women), to bow the body slightly, with bending of the knes. 6) v.t. To treat with civility.

It's nice that you've figured out what "courtesy" means. But what does "curtsy" mean?

LOL Do you think I am a horse that I type standing up with my head in the clouds or do you think I sit with bended knees and a bowed head so I can see what I'm typing? I suppose you only understand a courtesy from a women when she does a curtsy on top of you. Come on Tomato I am only pulling your leg but you will feel it in your heart.
