That's sad, because I wrote this piece to depict, at the end, precisely what you described: "a very beautiful sign of affection if it is sincere." I'm sorry you missed it. @ Christian: since this piece addressed both homosexuality and cultural norms — even as far as citing male Olympic gymnasts, an example you sought to level against me — I can only conclude you didn’t read what I wrote, but bristled instead at the headline.

Look at the Russian athletes at the Olympics or even European soccer teams. The male gymnasts are DEFINITELY not gay, but they kiss each other after every routine to show support and affection. And some soccer players will kiss after a goal, or a victory. In tennis, Russia won the davis cup and one member who was raised in the U.S. freaked out when he was kissed on the lips by a teammate who was raised in Russia. And these guys are not gay. I think it's a very beautiful sign of affection if it is sincere, and it certainly has nothing to do with sexuality, or homosexuality. You're just teaching your kid to be homophobic.

There are more perks and benefits and it upgrades your travel from just OK to being treated like a special guest. Sure, there are a whole range of time share units but you usually get what you pay for. If your intention is to go first class for the rest of your life that most likely won't happen if you shop for the lowest price. Like they say, it only costs a nickle more to go first class. Some people pay hundreds of thousand to join just one country club. For a fraction of that you get a lifetime of worldwide first class treatment and accomodations with vacation ownership. Some people just like to beat up on sales people and, to them, everybody is out to get them. Too bad for them, oh well, next. Sales people get paid for what they do and they earn their money. With out them and a good product like vacation ownership millions of people wouldn't have such good vacations. These places know how to cater to what people want. I've stayed at regular Hotels and Motels and the Vacation Ownership program has them beat by a mile. If you own one week you can get great deals in 100 countries as many times as you want throughout the year. Wyndham is the largest and one of the best but their are many. The reason they are popular is because the programs create a win, win situation and people, for the most part, are very happy.

I purchased my timeshare from Point To Point Destinations (PTP Destinations, West Coast Timeshare( in Vancouver, BC and it was my mistake to say the least. I've learned a lot of facts after i bought it and i posted my experience along with the facts i've learned on this web site: www.TimeshareRevealed.com I could not describe my own experience better than in this article.
