  1. Are ya'll "rap battling" with bible phrases...? This thread is... NOW ...stupid. Armaments Chapter 2, verses 9 through 22. "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu... Skip a bit, Brother... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it. AMEN
  2. By reading the words of our Founders... ... the Original Sources.
  3. An Additional Note: Looking over my Sallie Mae Account: Postpone or reduce your payments If you have trouble making your student loan payments, you may be eligible for the deferment and forbearance programs referenced on this page. Remember to make your student loan payments by the scheduled due dates outlined in your coupon book or monthly bills. By making your payments when due, you not only establish good repayment habits and build good credit, you may also earn and retain repayment benefits on eligible student loans. It is important to take action before you become delinquent, incur late fees and other collection costs. If you want to know more about delinquency and its consequences, please view delinquency consequences. Delinquency Consequences Being delinquent is very serious Loan delinquency can have long-lasting or permanent consequences. If you are delinquent and default on your loans: * Your delinquency can be reported to all national credit bureaus and could impact financing of any future purchase, such as a home or an automobile. * The cost of your loan can increase with the addition of late fees and other charges. * For FFELP loans, any government payments due you, such as IRS refunds, can be impounded by the Department of Education. All which was made known to me before I signed the documents...
  4. Now... why would statements that offended you be, ok, if I were drunk? See, when people say or do things that upset me... I get more pissed, if they are drunk, because people often lose their ability to control their actions under the influence of alcohol. If you can’t control your actions, or words, drink less... Like in the movie, “The Hangover”... she only slept with the bartender because she was drunk, she said. Oh, right? So, being drunk makes it excusable? Nope! Good Bye. I don’t agree with prohibition, and if one wants to ingest alcohol, it is their right; so long as they do not infringe on the rights of others or break the law. No... I did not have one drop of alcohol in me. Are you threatening me with physical violence, as you did to another above, because I exercised my right to freedom of speech after you made statements with no supporting information? Good Job. I Commend You. My parents were able to put away money in two separate accounts for my sister and I. Her account was bigger than mine when she accessed it, because it was sitting for two more years, than mine was. The account covered my tuition and books for my first two years. (I got one C, in Pre-Calc - She barely spoke English. No Joke) It did not cover my EMS training, nor has it paid a dime of my second two years. My parents, worked hard, and they took the initiative to save... I benefited appropriately. As my sister will save for her children, and may be able to afford to put away more than our parents did. I don’t want children. I will be spending my, imaginary child’s, college fund traveling for BASE. I was grateful for what they had saved for me... and I have worked full time since I was 16. - What did you major in? - What degree do you have? - Why did your degree take 7 years? For a MS? For a BS? If you had a student loan, I can’t see a BS taking 7 years... if you paid out of pocket for a 4 year degree and worked to make every dime, I can see it taking 7 years, easily! You haven’t provided much info... - So you differed for 7 years while in school? Began payment at graduation, and then paid for 7 years? So we are at 7 years after the completion of your degree, plus the time you were sick? Exactly how long were you sick? You said, I could, Barely, work. That’s pretty broad bro, and the fact that I worked in an ER for over 4 years... (along with picking up hours on the floor, doing IVs in all departments including ICU during the night shift, because our hospital didn’t have an IV team like a trauma center does, and I was one of the best, PEDs too... and have worked at other ER faculties within my hospitals system here in Hampton Roads) ... I find it hard to take anyone seriously with such a broad explanation. It could be anything from cancer... to a hernia/appendix removal surgery. And there is nothing you could say that would shock me... How were you sick? Lets not play wording games like politicians... defaulting on your loan... breaking your contract... just as the Federal Government is breaking the contract with, We The People... The Constitution. At the least, all your website talked about, was defaults. Again... your fault for getting involved with the Fed. My sister was looking at Federal loans, and I told her absolutely not, and elaborated as to why. THE SECOND THING I WOULD CUT, BILLVON... the Department of Education. (And will we will get back to that thread) Given to us by Jimmy Carter... my goodness, how did we ever educated our nations youth before we had the Department of Education. Oh wait, our kids are learning even less... and are getting dumber too. CUT! Damn, I just saved a lot of money... getting back to following the Constitution and allowing localities to control their education, as the Founders intended it. Especially if the Feds are going to cut things like the DC voucher program, that helped poor families get the hell out of the DC public school system. Read your loan... Pay your loan... don’t break your contract... how is that a rosy view? HIGHLY IRRATIONAL THOUGHT: The truth will set you free... but first it will make you miserable. Tell me your story, I’ll tell you mine... oooh, giggity! Honestly bro, if you didn’t have a, SERIOUS, medical issue... with the way you are speaking... if I were to share my current situation, You will look like an enormous, Ass! Psst... I’m unemployed... "I can barely work" But I'm still paying my bills.
  5. I love climbing, and seriously cannot wait to start again; it’s been way too long! And BASE intertwines perfectly! Ski/Snowboard BASE first, wait till after winter... Fair enough. Not involved in that one, didn’t read over his words a second time before responding to your statement. But as a general statement, it would have been.
  6. That's a total BS statement... I love this planets! I love Proximity Flying. You have never experience awe, in nature... until you have flown a wall. And even more, I love flying up the New River Gorge... Some beautiful images that will never leave my head. Sucks I only get to jump it twice a year... But see... how did that wall get there... well I know the geology part... I do have an AS degree... soon to be a BS and a Masters. Though, Lincoln never went to college... self taught, self man, Smart Man! But when you go back far enough... we don't have answers. I want to know... Michio Kaku always comes to the end point... "and this is the point of, "the God factor." Just like Billvon's, Casimir Effect... Post Initial Singularity Occurrences... KICKING, DEAD, HORSE. That doesn't give us the answer spelling
  7. God gave us MMA... of course God is not a type two diabetic... Jeez! Ye of little faith in the Creators exercise and eating habits! GOD HATES BRITISH CIGARETTES!!
  8. NASA's report may not be good science.
  9. Such an empty comment... “shrug” No, not really... first 4 links: Moral and Virtuous People Don't Need God Or Mindless Religion ... May 21, 2010 ... Most of today's Hinduism consists of mindless rituals and traditions, which have absolutely no relevance to the modern times. nirmukta.com/.../moral-and-virtuous-people-don’t-need-god-or-mindless-religion/ American Ideological Society - Are we moral and virtuous people? "Only a moral and virtuous people are capable of freedom; the more corrupt and vicious a society becomes, the more it has need of masters. ... www.americanideologicalsociety.com/ais/modules.php?name... Religious Freedom for a Virtuous People | RVOS 2010 Essay Contest “A virtuous people are capable of freedom” because they submit to a higher moral law first; “nations become corrupt” when their citizens look to their own ... www.rvos.com/essay/2124ad The Second Principle – We must remain virtuous and morally strong ...

Again... not arguing for Christianity... not arguing against it... I’m not a Christian. But, Liberation Theology... is a perversion of Christianity.
  10. I don’t have any problem with it... the problem is, that nowhere on this forum have I seen someone accurately explain what Jefferson was speaking about, in the one and only time he used the term. I have read so much, and have done so much research in these last three years... Its just as I spoke of in another thread with, the Pursuit of Happiness. There are two meanings, and not one person could give me the second. If you have read about the Founders, if you have read original sources and not been corrupted by revisionist history... its SO easy, and such a simple answer. But no one gave me that answer. By no means do I think anyone is stupid... not long ago, I didn’t know either, and that angers me! You have said some good things... but you are still off from what he was talking about. And without the other things I will need to include in posting, it’s not worth it for me to go into it any farther. If you want to know what I have said to date, refer to my posts. You can debate God, without talking about, “SOCAS...” I’m not going into it in this thread. As for quoting Bible passages to atheists... It’s like putting mandarin in from of someone who doesn’t speak it... pointless. If it were the first time someone had ever heard of God, and you started with the bible, ok... Fine! But if someone is defiant to and secure in his or her feelings of, there is no God... well, you are definitely not going to change someone’s view points by talking about a religions scriptures or specific prophet... like Jesus. You need to first talk about... God. There IS a difference! Reading is Fundamental! I can have God, without Jesus. That may be how you interpret God... but not me. And I'm sure you will feel the need to hit me back with, Jesus is God in the form of man... but he is the son of God too, and the ghost. Please don't... I know. I'm sorry, but I’m like Franklin; to this day I question the Divinity of Jesus. It doesn't make sense to me... And Franklin was not a man whore out having sex with tons of woman, as revisionist historians like to claim so that they can separate you from the words of the Founders. I will post about, "the Religion of America" as soon I can... its gonna be a loooong post.
  11. If you can't see God in the beauty and organiztion of life...then I'm afraid it won't matter how much gold I show you... Luke 16:31 "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'" Quoting bible passages to an atheist, is no more productive than banging your head against a wall...
  12. -1 Why do you disagree with his statement? I think it is a pretty accurate description. Nope... I surely meant, Minus One. Religion is very important. God is more important, but religion is important too... and the Founders talked about this often. Franklin's words are my favorite! Religion is a good thing... yes, there has been perversions of and within religious institutions; everyone knows of the child molesters... and there has been Corruption, Thievery and Fraud... not only in our nation, but all nations throughout time. But... that’s not moral and virtuous behavior. That’s not true religion. I am not religious... I do believe in God. If someone practices a religion that instills in them morals and values... teaches them to be good to others, to be honorable... to tell the truth... to help others, but not make them comfortable in their poverty, help them get out of poverty through their own perseverance... And to worship God, as seen fit... as long as you are not infringing on another person's rights to freedom of religion, nor their many other unalienable rights given to them from God. Than that religion, is good... whatever religion it may be. God is God... how we interpret God, and how we worship God, will be different... But if your God is telling you to kill others who don't share your same interpretation of God, who are not infringing on your freedoms... well, come after me, and I’ll kill you, before you kill me. I will protect my nation and my constitution... from enemies foreign, and domestic. Actually, religion should be involved in politics... moral and virtuous people who stand up for and with the DOI and the Constitution... will be lead in the same direction, to the same ends... Maximum Freedom. (Don't even bring up Separation of Church and State here... because you will eat your words later... when I write about "the Religion of America." -- I will after NREMTP exams) Edit: "
  13. Dude... you and your Casimir Effect... lol. We have already discussed this in the other thread. You are speaking about an event occurrence post initial singularity... you are kicking a dead horse. Just don't hump it like Tom Green, ok? Giggity!
  14. It never fails, correct someone's spelling or grammar and you will find this Do you see the Joke? I am Mocking the idiots who hold up signs at Funerals... Ya know like: God hate F*GS... Thank God for IEDs... Actually, I wrote it correctly... Red Balls... is Cocaine is can, Dave Chappelle... Shazam... smart guy! Nice catch... I did leave the D off didn't I... Though the word is spelled correctly. I did use spell check.
  15. Blah blah blah. I am not Christian... I believe in God. I do not believe in the creation story. Franklin questioned God in his early life... at the time of the "creation" of our nation, he fully believed in God, but he questioned the divinity of Jesus. Religion is a way to interpret God. You can have God without religion, but you can't have freedom without God. His Lisp is really weird... I think he is wicked stoned too! 6:30-6:37 - His Lisp is Fake! Its getting Annoying now. Haha! Monday... he’s so funny! BTW... the Jewish people have their own calendar... what a jackass!
  16. Here... do some homework! http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1207 Blocked by Pelosi. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/04/10/ron-paul-barack-obama-is-not-a-socialist/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wsj%2Fwashwire%2Ffeed+%28WSJ.com%3A+Washington+Wire%29 END THE FED! END FANNIE AND FREDDIE! 2+ Trillion in Bailouts!
  17. Nope, sure didn't need to build that big ass fancy new building... Actually, paper... pretty expensive. Colleges go through a lot of it! I see more staple use, in my dad's department.
  18. Desperation... GOD HATES PEOPLE WHO DON'T USE SPELL CHECK! Ok... no more red balls. I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirits of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being. Einstein He didn’t believe in a God of Divine intervention... he believe in a God of organization. Things were too structured... He spoke of Spinoza's god... yes, well, that’s one other way to see it. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear. Thomas Jefferson (God Believer)
  19. No. But I have dealt with FA (Financial Aid Departments?) I have no idea what you are talking about... True... Like ECPI here in Hampton Roads. Get a Bachelors in 2.5 Years! SWEEEEEEEEEEEET! No, not really... wicked ripoff, and a shit degree that won't do you a damn bit of good, and their credits don't transfer... anywhere. But, that's a different issue... if you went to Devry, ECPI, ITT Tech... and so on... I'm just gonna laugh, and tell you I'm sorry you made that mistake. Seriously... If your grades have sucked that bad... go back to community college, retake courses, get your GPA up, and you could definitely get into a school like ODU... The pure fact that you improve grades, shows determination and potential in learning ability. Do so at ODU for at least 1 semester, and then you can transfer to another university, if a different program is desired. Where there is a will, there is a way... And don't give me any crap about the poor can't get educated. If you are THAT poor... you can get tuition, books, living expenses, travel, and even child care expenses. Do your homework! You will have to pay back your loan, but you won't pay a dime of interest. That's kind of an empty statement... hired them for what. Care to elaborate...? Graci! I really don't know how to respond to this either... If you are in computers, you often don't need a degree... there are certification like from Cisco with networking. (Back when i was in it, the levels were: CCNA, CCNP, CCIE) I did an internship in networking... I cabled entire schools with Cat5E, set up all the switches and routers, watched as they set up the IPT and so on... pretty cool, made some good money on overtime, but didn't want to do it for a career. Nor did I enjoy hearing about star wars and star trek ship classes... yeah, I watch, it is entertaining, not enough to read about the ship types though... I'll be BASE jumping... L8er! Really... Idealistic, ey? You sure you wanna get in to that with me... Trust me, I don't think ya doooo. I gotta get back to studying for NREMT-P... something that will be getting me a new job.
  20. Private student loans haven't been about educating the youth in many years. http://www.collegescholarships.org/research/student-loans/ More BS about defaulting on loans... Go to a reasonable school, borrow a reasonable amount... if you have to work in retail while you do your internship, you can eat and pay for your loan till you get a higher paying position in your field of study. Crap... Crap... Personal Responsibility! Giggity Goo! Spelling
  21. Yes... they should be paid well. My father is a state employee, at the Community College I attended. He is a Paramedic instructor... where all the Hampton Roads fire departments send their students... and he didn’t get a raise this year. Why the increase... because they can! If people stop attending those colleges, and went to more reasonable schools like I spoke about earlier... they would be forced to reduce tuition. If they don’t pay their faculty respectably, then they will have no staff... so they will make the smartest business decisions to save the most money so they can pay their faculty appropriately and insure attendance because students will look at their tuition, and go somewhere else... Supply and Demand... that too, is studied in a business degree. Books will always cost a crap load... been there, done that. Buy used when you can, sell them back if you really need the money. Personally, I like to keep them for reference... Worst case, share the cost with a friend/classmate... and it will force a group study. If there is a will, there is a way. But either way... textbook price is not on the same level as the tuition issue.
  22. Hmmm... I think you should grow a pair, and post! If you got screwed over... that’s your fault for not reading your loan documents. And if it was the Federal Government that did so, it’s again your fault for getting in bed with the Fed. Just as it will be California’s fault for getting screwed over if they take a bailout, instead of cutting spending. Get in bed with the FED... and they control you. I won’t be taking any Federal money for my Masters. Sallie Mae will continue to work just fine... regardless of what they pay their CEOs... I will read my loan documents, and pay my loan on time. Also, I just read everything on your little website... except the stories, waste of time... and the primary topic of their concern, are loan defaults. http://studentloanjustice.org/educate.htm THEN DON’T F**KING DEFAULT ON YOUR LOAN! If I were drinking chocolate milk... it would have just come out of my nose. Yeah... its called the law! Actually... Residents and Attending Physicians, have short and long term disability coverage... if you get sick, or injured, once you cash in all of your PAL (Paid Annual Leave) and SPAL (Sick)... it will kick in, upon making a claim. Short term is typically included as a benefit... Long term is optional and comes at an additional cost per pay period. And short-term disability pay is a percentage of your pay, not full. Sorry, but I highly doubt that has happened, at least, for doctors. That's Total Crap! How would the, principle, change? I could see fees and/or a penalty of increased interest rate... but that’s plain ridiculous. Prove it! Wicked Chocolate Milk!
  23. Anyone who does what you explained, is an idiot! Hard to pay back...? Like what? And when they default on the loan, they got what they deserved... Personal Responsibility. Yup... More Crap. Anyone who has majored in business has taken a course called, Business Ethics. I still have my book, on a counter in my room. What was done by the Federal Government (Community Reinvestment Act) and by lenders (sub prime loans)... was universally destructive. It is an example of something that is... Legal, but Unethical.
