RE: FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY.!!!

That's crazy. Should be Atheist UNholy Day!

RE: Gubmint, and how it works...

And your objection is??

RE: How does our English look to native speakers?

RE: How does our English look to native speakers?

Yes, you're an example of a non-native English poster who puts many natives to shame (and I'm pretty sure you've improved your English language skills quite a lot since I've been here). Of course, you're just one of those lucky people who has a brain, so that gives you an unfair advantage over many, Y.

RE: How does our English look to native speakers?

Agreed, Morgie. I have no problem with the non-native English posters, except, of course, when they write much better than most of the native English posters!

My main complaint is with the native English speakers. However, I can think of one or two who aren't so strong on grammar but are strong on wisdom, intelligence, and insight. As much as it pains me to admit that.

RE: Relocation, relationship "on hold"...

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense - and shows a lot of wisdom. Nothing good can happen (probably) until you deal with those issues anyhow. I have a feeling you'll be successful.

RE: Relocation, relationship "on hold"...

Hmmm...I don't understand your last sentence, Aine.

RE: Relocation, relationship "on hold"...

There's a lot of missing information, but if I had to guess, I would say not to reserve anything for him emotionally. When you chose to move back, you placed that move above him. He'll always know that, and it seems reasonable for you to acknowledge what that implies as well - that you just weren't that taken with him and/or ready for a true commitment.

RE: Relocation, relationship "on hold"...

Of course, the same question about loving someone enough applies to you...

RE: If a potential woman/man smokes on a date is it a turn off?

More than a mere turn-off. Deal-breaker.

RE: Happy Birthday Sweetowen

Oh, sorry I missed this, L! Happy thirty-ninth!

I hope you and Cat have (or are having??) a great time at Big John's!

RE: This thread is dedicated to Bobby Darrin

I'm not sure you should be left alive for being his fan, Ooby.

But seriously...what is it exactly that you find so appealing about him?

RE: This thread is dedicated to Bobby Darrin

I find his popularity amazing - such a thoroughly mediocre voice. I just listened to him and Nancy Sinatra sing the Doors' "Light My Fire." Oh my god...

RE: What is the one thing that you do not tolerate in a relationship?

Oh, so do I, Laura - it's definitely my preferred method. But lately I've learned that shopping can be fun with the right person.

RE: What is the one thing that you do not tolerate in a relationship?

At least that offers some compensation for the horror and drudgery of shopping...

RE: Motheeeeeeeer

I'm waiting for "Cute and Shy Biggus Dickus," L.

RE: Motheeeeeeeer

What would Dion...Bacchus think, L?

RE: Motheeeeeeeer

And now we may be found!

RE: Motheeeeeeeer

You done Daltry proud, Y.

RE: Motheeeeeeeer

The better to see her lover with! Talk about "big" being "better"!!

RE: THE GOD HEAVEN CREATED MAN IN HIS IMAGE, MALE AND FEMALE. FOR REPRODUCTION PURPPOSE MUST THEY MEET,

One of the best parodies of a religious lunatic (who can't spell!) I've read in a long time! Thanks, man!

RE: Stress Management Technique

Ah, thanks, L, I feel so much better now...

But wait a minute - that face looks strangely similar to my own!

A quick dose of existentialism to enjoy with our morning coffee.

RE: Should Illegal Immigrants In The U.S. Be Allowed Any New Health Care Plan?

That would be the logical culmination of the "right to healthcare, etc." reasoning, B, for illegals: basically everyone should have the right to be wherever they wish to be, and all obstacles to that should be eliminated. And if there's a right to health care, why not a right to food, housing, personal grooming, and everything else? Imagine what would happen to a town or city which advertised: "Free housing, medical, and food for everyone!"

RE: I read "20 minutes with the President" by Charlie Sheen ,Do you think 9/11 was an inside job

For all we know, that could be an accurate paraphrasing of the author's own comments. Yes, indeed, only those nutty conspiracy theorists can't seem to quote the truth...unlike the Bush Administration and the agencies kowtowing to it, which, as we all know too well, were all about the truth.

If we measured credibility by selective lies/truth-telling, which you seem to be advising here, then you ought to be disbelieving just about everything the Bush Administration authored about 9/11. It's ironic that your objection, while pretending to be unpartisan, only addresses one side rather than including both sides equally, as true dispassion/non-partisaniship would logically demand. There's mountains of evidence that Bush et al lied about virtually everything, so why do accept its version as gospel? Where's your skepticism of its position, especially when it bristles with logical absurdities/anomalies?

RE: Have you ever been told you're "too nice" if so, how do you interpet that?

I think you're right (I can't believe I'm actually replying to one of your multitudinous posts).

Clearly, "Rilly" has heard that once too often and let it go to his head.

RE: TOP 12 REASONS TO POST A TOP10 LIST

The idea of a top-ten list featuring more than ten items seems almost irresistible. Didn't Monty Python do a skit which involved such an ordinal paradox?

I'd like to list - and I'm sure you'd be sympathetic to this - my top ten reasons for being an atheist (and then list at least thirty reasons).

RE: why do Christians ignore the OT?

Purely a rhetorical question, right? You already know the answer.

Hell, if Christianity was so "profit"able, I might even have been interested (as an atheist).

RE: Don't look at me or my profile

Seriously, J, what in the heck inspired this thread? I'm curious as all hell (heck?) about how the question entered your head. (I'm thinking it was inspired by communication with someone here?)

RE: Don't look at me or my profile

I know you're one heckuva lady. The rest I'm not so clear about...
