Ok, mayby I should have siad this: Interesting. If we should not react to things which are not true, why are you now reacting? In your mind HL's statement was unture yet you reacted. Seems you just enabled an addictive behavior.
Interesting. If we should not react to things which are not true, why are you now defending your position on this? Seems you just enabled an addictive behavior.
Anyway, it makes perfect sense to me and if not to you, well that's OK.
Hey, if you think it's OK to start a thread that categorizes people as insane because of their religeous beliefs then more power to you. I don't agree with that mentality and will react as I see fit. I didn't use his post to justify myself or my beliefs but I will defend my beliefs and will never apologize for them. I have never started a thread belittling anyone for their religeous beliefs or touting mine as I believe each should be allowed to have their own.
It is true that many wars, fight's etc.. have been started by people wishing to use religeon and/or God as their mantra. One would think that we would have figured out by now that it's best to avoid those by not pushing ones religeous beliefs or lack thereof onto others by insult or other means. Most will fight when attacked, I'm no different..
I didn't say he was insane, I said "I think it's more insane to feel the need to bash those that do not believe as you do...." Now if you see that as me calling him insane then you must have come to the conclusion that the purpose of his original post was to do nothing more than demean those who have a diffrent belief system as he does. I believe this is the case.
You cite some of the definitions of sanity as being "having or showing a reason, sound judgement or good sense" Tell me how that first most demonstrated any of those qualities. The simple truth is you can't.
I don't inject my belief systems on others or degrade them because of theirs but I will never stand by and allow others to insult me for mine. If this makes me somewhat insane then so be it...
I think it's more insane to feel the need to bash those that do not believe as you do. This reflects insecurity on your part and a sick sort of need to make others feel as miserable or insecure as you. Pretty sad really.
Please believe as you wish and I will do the same. The only difference is, I wont be degrading you personally for your beliefs until such time as you insult me for mine.
That's already starting to happen just not on here yet. Apparantly, this bust was brought on by tips from Rezco and there are rumors they have one of Obama's aids involved with discussion with this governor. I want to emphasize rumor...
I saw this on the news and the state DA and FBI were rather vague on other pending arrests. If nothing else, this will clean out some corruption.
The U.S. Attorney in Chicago says his office is making "no allegations" that President-elect Barack Obama was aware of any alleged scheming by arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (bluh-GOY'-uh-vich).
Blagojevich was arrested on Tuesday on charges that he brazenly conspired to sell or trade the Senate seat left vacant by Obama to the highest bidder.
At a news conference on Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said the corruption charges against the governor represent "a truly new low."
An FBI affidavit says the 51-year-old Democrat was intercepted on wiretaps conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife.
Fitzgerald described the situation by saying: "We were in the middle of a corruption crime spree and we wanted to stop it."
The governor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Sorry to hear that Dana. It's very sad but I think it's safe to say that he knew how much he was loved by his family and friends. May he rest in peace. My prayers will remain with him, his family and you and your family.
In most cases there are alternatives to hitting so the ideal answer would be thata man should never hit a woman. The reality however is that we never know what we're going to do in any given situation. I have never hit a woman but I came really close once.
Thanks Katie, I wish you luck with your son. I think most of us are hardheaded sometimes especially when it comes to family. I guess it's because we know they'll forgive us for just about anything. Merry Christmas
I have seen the same thing. Now I just go with the flow. Oddly enough, I have also found that once I start dating someone the flood gates seem to open and I get all kinds of people interested. Months of barren desert followed by a flood.
RE: Is it Sane to Believe?
Probably a good idea...
