No; it's a proven fact that all aliens speak English with North American accents. Except on Farscape. Agreed. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

To be more specific, Christian values mean little to those who are not of the Christian faith. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ of Nazareth you are not in a position to examine the path of someone who is. However, the governor in question made no reference to his faith. He was apparently concerned with being PC. Hey queekdraw you missed. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Bravo Sierra. Christian values have nothing to do with it. What then do Christian values have to do with? Why would one want to punish children for the wrongs of their parents? Then again god had no problem punishing the decendants of people who wronged him. The right wants the US to be known as a " Christian nation" but feeding poor children is wrong. See post #9.

Bravo Sierra. Christian values have nothing to do with it. BS yourself. Plenty of "lost sheep", "shepherd", "flock" metaphors in christianity. Typical liberal misdirection.

Except that they do, since you were talking about things that are under the control of the government and the big C. No I was not. Oh really? So war is not under the control of the government, then? The Constitution never mentions religion, then? DRIP, DRIP, DRIP; YAP, YAP, YAP; WHINE, WHINE, WHINE. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

His opinion was, in large part at least, about how the government runs. See #184 Except when he's talking about it. Quote Thank you for seeing me as a special authority. However, I am not an authority on the Constitutional Law. Contact Andy9o8 for such questions. I fear the law and its consequences. My values are a different consideration for behavioral decisions. Bottom line, you are not a citizen of the U.S. What you believe, feel or fantasize about American lifestyles and our laws don't mean squat.

wow, I had a font size and text change glitch that's just continuing here.....sorry about that why would you hack on Quade like that? I'm not down on him. Although in this thread he joined the fray to try and back me into a corner. I see him as a businessman that sees the world in dollars and cents. I think he evaluates in terms of profit and loss for a rational base. I, on the other hand, evaluate my world from a spiritual perspective and believe God will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippeans 4:19) Consequently, I am a terrible businessman. I am a good steward but lousy at earning money. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

No, like I said, I'm basing it on having read the constitution, and knowing a bit about history. Wow. Just wow. Is insularity and xenohobia a virtue now? Do you honestly think that expanding one's horizons and experiencing life in different countries and cultures is something to be ashamed of? I'm speechless. Like a continual dripping, a puppy yapping, constant whining, I can no longer relate to you with any seriousness. G'day mate and good luck. It's all you got to go on.

You are basing your belief on observations you see on TV. You do not live here. Therefore, as I said at the start, your opinion of the American way of life don't mean squat because you are not a citizen here. If you are a U.S. citizen and choose to live in the UK, then you are ashamed of America and have another agenda. If that is the case then fess up.

Except even that is a myth. America was settled as a for-profit proposition. Some of the people involved were Christian, sure, but that wasn't the motivation at all. Settled "as" vs settled "for" vs settled "of" you might want to rewrite history to your own cynical bias, but for profit settling is absolutely true, but it doesn't change the demographics of those that did it I think it's safe to say that the original population with overwhelmingly of christian content tell youwhat, you get me the breakdown - how much was buddist, muslim, and Hindu vs christian background and you might make your point I think it would be safe to say that the gentleman is totally motivated by profit. That is his world. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I just tell people that I am a plain ol' vanilla Christian and leave it at that. Remember, there are some cults that claim to be Christian and are not. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I have always understood and accepted what you stated above as a basis of any internet interaction. But, I gotta tell ya, you really gave me a good laugh to start my day. Thank you.

and some will call me paranoid!! And your point is? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Well, no, you didn't. You said that you were still right and that your opinion was factually based. Since neither of those things are true (It's a fact that someone said it to you but that doesn't mean it's factual) you should probably make your acknowledgements a little clearer in future unless you want people to continue calling you on this stuff. I guess it's just an American thing. Speaking the language of another nation does necessarily bring meaning. The meaning gets lost in the translation. I speak American.

So, if you believe something that is wrong, as long as it's based on somebody else's belief that has nothing at all to do with reality, it's ok. You're still right. Get real! In 1972 I wasn't writing a term paper. It was just campfire talk between sport parachutists. Another quickdraw, and you missed me also. I'm so sorry Ron, I realise now that I've done you a great diservice and I owe you an apology. It was entirely juvenile of me, and derogatory to you, to suggest that you were basing your knowledge on "what some guy told you at a bar". It is obvious to me now that knowledge based on "what some guy told you round a campfire" is an entirely more forceful and logical intellectual proposition. What you and quade do not seem to understand is that in the 1972 era, the peace symbol as a broken cross was a common folktale. The resource post indicated that the folktale wrongly attributed its origin to The John Birsch Society as a antichrist symbol. However, that does not take away from the fact that the story circulated at the time without challenge. I acknowledged same and my error. Now will you guys just get a life.

My grandfather was born in 1882 and my grandmother in 1892. My father in 1913 and Mom in 1918. They were from Ohio and Kentucky. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

You're misinformed. It has nothing to do with religion. It has everything to do with the nuclear disarmament movement and semaphore flags like old school Navy signal men held in their hands and used to signal each other ship to ship. The two downward diagonal lines form the "N" and the vertical line forms the "D". Nuclear Disarmament. Gotta love how you've made the symbol fit your own view of the world though. Not me pal. That's the way it was explained to me back in the day. It was called the "Broken Cross" or "Crow's Foot" and had occult significance. You believe lots of things that have no factual basis. Except this belief did have factual basis. You didn't far enough into the thread. Way to go quickdraw. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

jakee, jakee, you are not able to follow American English train of thought. Your responses do not refer to what I am posting.

Yes at different levels I would defend Franken against lies on his position just as I do Limbaugh (if I had ever listen to him) Two things the left refuses to remember are the two main tenants of his show style 1) reflect or show or expose the absurd by being absurd and 2) throw the attitudes and topic style used by the left back at them It works really well winding them up After 20 years of listening to him off and on I know two things for sure 1) he is most defiantly NOT racist and 2) he wants all people to succeed (but now by sucking the government teat) Now he has started his daily media tweaks (refer to the first enumerated points I made) And they work really really well Exactly correct. In Aug 89 I was volunteering at the Tampa Vet Center. One day a retired AF Major suggested that I listen to Rush on the basis of his truthful, fresh originality. He said, "Rush will make you think." The first program I tuned in Rush proclaimed, "You cannot possibly understand me or this program unless you listen everyday for six weeks." That is pure marketing genius. In effect, he challenged the listener intellectually and the outcome of the challenge is that the listener will have developed the habit of listening. I started laughing so hard I almost had to pull to the side of the road. In the field of rehabilitation counseling, it is understood that any behavior repeated daily for 28 days will become a habit in most cases. I have remained a loyal listener. He truly does make me think. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Well, when the thread was started by a poster I know has been inactive since Bush's re-election then yeah, I usually do. When the posts in the thread contain quoted by-lines (that you yourself re-quoted yet still failed to notice) dated 6 years ago, then yeah, I usually do. It's called attention to detail, it takes seconds, and I'm starting to think that your lack of it explains a lot of the poorly researched opinions you post here... Just to check, you do now understand that you were ragging on Bill for being "misleading" because of stuff that happened over a year after he posted some data that was current and correct at the time of posting, right? Do you always get this defensive when someone points out a mistake to you? You must be a nightmare to work with. Oh the assumptions I cant even tell you who started it Defensive? Projecting again? Next? It is just pretty much his style. I think it comes from being absorbed in the telly. Eh what? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
