Excellent! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

one last thing... quit calling my religion mythology. it's offensive. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Oh god it was so funny! She said people say that to her all the time. I'm not that original, I must confess. But she's done some good work for colon cancer work! That's what I shoulda said, huh? Man, her feet were sure cute! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

So is it wrong to be prejudiced against torturing and burning people who don't subscribe to your myths? Is the Inquisition a fallacy? Are you trying to deny it? I think YOU have a serious problem of credibility here. Um... you're bringing up someting that happened hundreds and hundred and hundreds of years ago... why exactly? oh that's right, b/c THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE JOHN!!! like I said before, same shit, different day. all you have is to attack my religion, when it really isn't even part of this discussion. you brought it in here so you could attack it. One need not go back hundreds of years to see problems with the Catholic church. More recently, I'd say that protection of priests who were known to be involved in child molestation damaged the church's credibility. Question: When the subject is the health and development of children, which is the least credible reference? A - The American Academy of Pediatrics B - The American Psychological Association C - The Catholic Church I think the answer is kind of clear. Then again, when my daughter's been sick, I've taken her to a hospital rather than a church, so perhaps I'm just biased towards science versus mythology. Blues, Dave one more thing... this is NOT a discussion of Catholics vs. secular society's definition of the family. oh, I lied... one more thing... there are other "institutions" that hide and shuffle molesters, not just the catholic church. look at the recent case of the guy who confessed to the killing of johbenet ramsey (although it turns out he didn't do it). It should come as no surprise to many that teachers who are suspect or who are caught molesting children are simply let go from a school and not turned in, where they can move to another school and get a job. It happens in other denominations too. But in the eyes of the media and society, the catholic church is the great pariah. what a crock of shit. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

fallacious argument. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Oh god it was so funny! She said people say that to her all the time. I'm not that original, I must confess. But she's done some good work for colon cancer work! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

You're not going to go um, burn it down or anything are you? not that I'm suggesting that... j/k I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

That's exactly what I thought when I flew w/ Jerry Springer of all people from Charlotte to Nashville! No one would talk to him! I asked him why and he said that people were generally afraid that others would think they watch his show. He was very kind, seemed intelligent and was engaging. But I told him that if people started chanting "Jerry Jerry Jerry" I was kicking his ass off the plane! He said that I would doing him a favor. *** I've heard that about him... Another 'chance' encounter I had a few years ago... I was sitting in the gate area at O'Hare, about 20 feet away was a VERY well dressed 'older' Black Gentleman that was signing an occasional autograph and making small talk with several of the other waiting passengers who seemed to know who he was / is... I couldn't for the life of me figure out what & why this guy is 'famous' for... and would steal a glimpse now and then while reading my magazine, and not try to appear TOO obvious. Thing is, every time I'd look at him he was looking at ME! Finally he stepped over and said to me, "You look familiar, I'm sure we've met but I just can't recall your name." I gave him my name and shook hands...saying something along the lines of good to see you again... Still not knowing who he is, and not wanting to show my ignorance to everyone else there...instead of asking his, I asked how have you been? Still griping my hand he just commented... "You played infield for the White Sox right?"(WHO ME?!) He left it at that and walked back to his seat, I'm sitting there in mine, trying fo figure out W.T.F... Now the REALLY weird part... On the plane, I asked the dude next to me just WHO the heck that guy in first class is ?! Hank Aaron!

Stating my beliefs is attacking? Aren't YOU taking this a little too personally this time bill? If I'm guilty of attacking anyone, it's kallend, who deserves it, and you for calling you a fool, for which I apologized. My comments about substandard families and whatnot are not attacks. It's a pity you can't see past that. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Oh ME ME ME !!! Pick me!!! Me first !!!! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Thanks for the mention, dick! Aw fuck, I knew I was forgetting someone of GREAT importance! Christ on Crutches, porcus sum, I'm such a pig! Porcissimus, the biggest of pigs! Sorry man. Mea Maxima Culpa! I'm going to go sever my tongue and mail it to you in reparation. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Isn't THAT the question of the last three years (or so!) I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

That's exactly what I thought when I flew w/ Jerry Springer of all people from Charlotte to Nashville! No one would talk to him!

That doesn't seem like such a dumb question to me: 1) How long does it take you visually recognize that you are on the wrong, short runway?; 2) How much runway is remaining at this point?; 3) How much speed do you have at this point?; and, 4) How much distance do you need to stop from that speed? How quickly can you stop at 200 mph? Can they even see straight ahead and down out of the front window? At a max takeoff weight of 72,500 lbs, not too quickly. Don't know about visability though. I've heard that the ERJ is better. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Thats not a belief: Its a statement. If you beleive birth control is immoral, thats your call. But to go from there to stating that rubbers and pills inflict misery around the world is a big step. And you re not attacked. You re participating is a discussion online. If you dont want to participate, you can drop it. Remster... I tried to do that very thing. So why are you bringing this up? And not attacked? Have you not read a vitriolic thing Kallend writes? I guess it's a case of selective reading. As for "statements" I make, are you trying to impose stupid rules such as people having to start out each thing they say as "I think that" or "I feel that" to delineate what they are saying is an opinion or that they believe something is true. I don't see you saying such stupid things to other posters here. Bottom line is this, Remmie, someone asked a question, which I preferred to answer in a PM. He refused and it was dropped. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Put. The. Cheeseburger. Down. Now. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I'm simply tired of being attacked for my beliefs in "an open forum." And this will certainly bring some. If you want to drop it, so be it. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

*** !0-12 years ago I was coming back from a SCUBA trip at Truk Island. Changed planes in Hawaii, and as I'm sitting down after stuffing all my junk in the overhead....I realized that the very friendly older gentleman sitting next to me is none other than Loyd Bridges! After a brief introduction, I told him (perhaps a little too enthusiatically) that I was a long time fan and REALLY enjoyed his work... Looking at the PADI hat I was wearing, he gave me a wink and said, "Don't tell me...'Sea Hunt' changed your life...." "No Sir" I replied..... ~~"AIRPLANE DID!" He must have laughed for 5 minutes straight! lol! That's awesome! Never know who you're gonna meet on a plane, do ya! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Chris, this has been a good thread for me to remember my friends I've made here. Michele was also among the first and continues to be very dear. Later, but no less dear was Sudsy. There are just so many. Recent ones of note, Boinky, Walt (who I've met, but still deserve mention), and Sartre. This has been a great place. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Can you turn your PMs on? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

mine is March 23, so mark March 24 in your date book, m'k sweetie? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Well, atleast it got our friend Vanillasky11 out into the open air. Chris and the much beloved RL too! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

he gets to titty twist your third nipple, b/c it was technically yesterday. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I'm not sure, but I think it was YOU!
