JohnRich 4 #26 June 13, 2007 QuoteWell, it's pretty sad that anyone would be celebrating her sentence. There's good reason to celebrate when justice is done. I don't see anything wrong with that. It's far better than letting wrong-doers get off free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's far better than letting wrong-doers get off free. Personally, I think it's a good thing when justice is done, but it doesn't make me feel happy and joyous to the point of wanting to celebrate. I get the impression that anyone who is literally celebrating Paris's jail sentence is celebrating more than just your everyday justice being done. I don't see these same people hanging around the DMV, hooting and hollering everytime someone pays a traffic fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't wait for it, go start it yourself. ...

Just cause some asshole politician (or another person) says it's wrong (whatever it may be) doesn't make it necessarily so!I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Why should anyone want to follow us when he are the same as the rest of the world when it comes to judging, immorality, commitment, integrity, etc. If the only way we can stand out is by our habit of attending church or listening to Christian music (or worse, wearing clothes with 'christian" logos) then I think we'd be better off saying nothing. Perhaps too many "christians' suffer the same problems as the Sadducees .... "Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God."

If one accepts that morality is innate then one might even guess at the mechanism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdVucvo-kDU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Lord Bill (no pun intended, you and shotgun both, where's your sense of humor ? Do I even LOOK like I care about the Paris Hilton Crisis ?? I'm sorry, I thought I was being funny. what is it about religion that makes seemingly normal people such a bunch of touch holes ? Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Shotgun 1 #39 June 15, 2007 Did you just call me a touch hole??? How dare you personally attack me like that! Moderators, please ban tbrown because he is being mean to me. Oh, and judging from your avatar pic, yes you do look like you care about the Paris Hilton Crisis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
