If you knew me you would know that I'm honest to a fault.

That statement alone is dishonest. Nobody, including me, is honest to a fault.
If you were The Dalai Lama or, well, I was going to say The Pope, but I think
he's full of crap too...anyway, anyone who says they are honest to a fault is
utterly dishonest with themselves.


That's your opinion, but that doesn't make it true.

No, it's true. You are not honest to a fault and if you were the least bit
honest with yourself, you'd know that.

It's also an election year and people who've been posting here for many years
are allowed to have a discussion which is off topic. Clearly you can see the
subject, can you not? Oh, okay, they stay out of it.

Oh, Regards,

So, it's OK to abort a child?

Yes, Sheila. People have abortions.

So when is it OK not to take a life. Should a person be allowed to kill
a child when it's a week old, maybe an hour old, where do you draw the
line?

*I* draw the line at the end of my nose. Why do you think YOUR line includes
other peoples' wombs?

I also believe in science do not deny, misrepresent or attempt to stop

is a good thing. I just don't happen to believe in evolution.

Oh boy, another True Believer! Do you really have the courage of your
convictions, though? If you REALLY don't believe in evolution, you should
make
sure and tell your doctor(if you go to doctors, that is) in the event you
ever
get an infection, that you want him to prescribe nothing but sulfa drugs
for
you. Sulfa drugs worked just fine for infections when they were developed.
They
should work just fine now, unless the germs have evolved. Go ahead. Make
their
day.

I don't get antibiotics often, but even so, my doctor has an interesting
system. If, for instance, I have a sinus infection and he feels any of 3
drugs will work, he always refers to my records, alternates drugs, and
prescribes the one I had in the MOST distant past. His reasoning is
precisely what you stated.

But, Sheila will tell us that the concept of drug-resistant germs is nothing
but junk science.

Boy, you guys just don't get it! Of course germs become resistant to
drugs, that is a far cry from the whole theory of evolution.

Wrong. That is the whole POINT of the whole theory of evolution. It's the reason
we don't bother with sulfa drugs any more. Next time you go to the drug store
try to find some sulfa drugs, so when you get an infection you won't have to
bother going to a doctor. Even better, just forget about all that junk science
and find a good old fashioned doctor who might be willing to do some trepanning
for you and let those evil demons out of your skull. ;)



Like I said before, you guys hold on to your beliefs and I'll hold on to
mine.

Jesus promoted Christian values, pity he hated the family so much!

Matthew 10:

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.

Boxer

The message
from "Doug Kanter" contains these words:


We have a show I find absurd, although nothing as savage as BB. It's
called
"Trading Spaces". On each episode, two couples (aka "morons") swap
houses or
apartments and surprise each other with their lack of remodeling &
decorating skills. The results have included such monstrosities as walls
covered with headache-inducing purple chenille.

Oh, we have that. Old hat.
We also have "holiday swap"..that's where two unknown and utterly
incompatible families have each other's holiday and a thoroughly
miserable time doing things they hate. Briefly, we had one whose name I
forget, where two bosses swapped companies in incompatible fields, and
did economic damage while alienating entire workforces. Currently we're
in about the third series of "Wife swap". Unknown and incompatible ma,
pa and kids families swap ma's/wives for a fortnight, bicker and whine
incessantly, then meet up at the end so that the wives can hurl verbal
abuse at each other and both husbands.

These are the type of people
who decorate their front lawns with tacky stuffed sheep.

Round here, people who want sheep to decorate the front lawn just
leave the gate open.

Janet.

Do the sheep keep the lawn edges trimmed?

Oh please...your news reader, Thunderbird, gives you the option of seeing
just the first message of each thread. That makes it easy to not look at
what you don't want to see.

This Bush thread has been going on for days and has accounted for about
half the messages in this group lately. Doncha think that's enough?
In each the the above examples, I posted one or two messages in an
existing off-topic discussion thread. I'm not saying that's a *good*
thing, but I hardly see how it compares to you and Doug saying pretty
much the same rants over and over and over and over and monopolizing the
group.

Monopolizing??? There still seem to be a healthy number of other subjects
listed here. Our conversation has no effect on those other subjects - not
that YOU are aware of.

As you can see, it is a personal issue. Notice who was targeted out of all
the people contributing to the thread. I went back and looked at what I
wrote. Most messages had no mention of religion, and those that did were
specifically targeting the religious-right which I see primarily as a
political movement. I can recall instances where Victoria has been the
target of anti-religious slurs but I didn't see Bob getting all hot - but
then she isn't a Christian. Bob had no problem with Sheila telling us that
teen pregnancy was lower "year ago" and that sex education leads to
increased sexual activity but completely ignoring any request to support the
assertions. Obviously we were suppose to just accept these things as fact
instead of asking for some proof. Paghat mentioned the association of the
KKK and Christianity but it was me who was accused of being
"anti-religious." Bob says that we posted the same thing over and over and
Sheila says we keep changing the subject. I'm accused of being dismissive,
but when Sheila tell us that she knows better just because of her unique
perspective, then that isn't dismissive. Go figure.

I am clearly pointing out the one-dimensional stereotypes of the so-called
