What was the equipment you were flying in? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Happy Birthday, to my fellow Catholic Buddy who, although much much older, has alot more hair. God Bless you bro! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Not true. The blame lies with non-believers who interpret the God's words according to the normal rules of conversational English language instead of looking into the original languange the Bible was written in, either Greek or Aramaic, and into the historical and literal contexts that the texts were written in, in order to ascertain the actual meaning of said texts. Fixed it for you, Professor. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Please tell me that as you reached the front of the plane, he stuck his head in the cockpit and said, "I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you." As a matter of fact, he didn't do that, but he DID say he's done that in the past, quite a few times but in today's post 9/11 world, he doesn't like to do it anymore. However, as we sat there waiting for everybody else to board, so many people recognized who he was and had something kind to say to him and he was very gracious to each one. He's a class act.

two summers ago I fly next to leslie nielson in first class on an AA fligth from DFW to PHX... he was on his way home, has a house on a golf course in paradise valley or something. was the funniest 2 hours of my life. he is so hilarious. talked about all his movies. he said that although airplane was such a classic, the naked gun was his favorite movie he ever made and the body condom scene was his favorite schtick. he carries a fart maker in his pocket and as we walked up the concourse together after his flight, he kept making it go off as he meandered up the way. freaking hysterical! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

This is a moment! I'm gonna use a quote from Quade as my next sig line! That's a great line right there folks! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

hey, sorry to hear about the job... good luck finding something that fulfills you! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Oh c'mon now Mr. Grumpy Gills, didn't you think this was just a little bit funny? Heck, I even gotta chuckle at kallend's joke! (Do I owe beer for that?) I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

little premature to start throwing that around, don'tcha think? why don't we just wait and see just what their "concerning behavior" was... OK. If they're arrested tried and jailed, then it was a terrorist plot. If the "Jumbo-12" get to fly, then it's yet more stupid mass hysteria. Mike. Boy, you're a pretty darned good arm-chair quarterback. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

C'mon man, pity? Thats right up there with contempt. In fact I'm not sure if there is any other word so good at conveying a sense of superiority. Now imagine if, say, kallend said he pitied people who don't have the benefits of his extensive education? He'd get buried and you know it. Should I change the word "pity" to "have compassion on" or "feel sorry for?" I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Usually available about now thru the Holidays. I asked the liquor store manager why just in the fall. He said even though it is not a bock, but a red beer, most people think of red as bock, so demand for it outside of fall is almost nil. So they only carry it in fall here even though it is produced year round. I rarely drink beer outside of skydiving season, so I'm going to try to get him to carry it beginning in April next year. It IS one scrumdilly-icous brew. so is it the exact same beer except for the coloring? all my friends don't like it b/c of the "skunky" smell... fine by me, more for me to consume! and I love the bottles! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

No, you made a much different and more simplistic mistake. But if you want to discuss statistical analysis sometime, let's at least do it over a couple drinks at the pool - the subject is pretty tiring, and, as I said originally, polling analysis is designed to allow bias for the pollsters. As I said, colinearity is a bitch - whether you are talking regression or correllation. edit: and I do think that hunk of chocolate looks mostly like a turd. (In Chevy Chase Caddyshack tone): Well, there's the pool, . . . or the creek. The creek would be good for you. And what hunk of melty dripping chocolate doesn't look like a turd. Everything was just returning to civility and you mention the T word again. doooodie!!! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

What's your pleasure, I'd be happy to spring for it!

) The Pope's Catholic? I thought he was a Nazi. Same thing.... Comments like that just make me so sad, they're so filled with ignorance. If you only knew how wrong you are Brandy... But hey, thanks for calling me a Nazi too, since I'm Catholic, as well as those on here who are Catholic, and the 1+ billion in the world who are Catholic. Alot of Catholics are are hypocryts. They always say one thing like "all humans are our brothers" and then say something like "I hate brothers." There is a reason why I don't like Catholic beliefs, and that is because they have no proof of anything besides stories and they tell you that you are going to hell and the only way to save yourself is to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. BULL SHIT! That is what makes me mad. So until you can give some sort of hard evidence (besides faith) that Catholicism is the way to go, then I will continue to question and search for the truth, which in my opinion is what God intended. You Catholics are soooo scared to queston, and those people that do question are looked at as lost souls or demons. This is real life not a movie like "Passion of the Christ" Oh and edit to add: "quit picking on us non believers of Dogma" Leave us alone! This must have really struck a nerve... no one here is picking on "non-believers of dogma." I've never looked at you as a lost soul or a demon b/c you're not a Catholic or not even a Christian. Was that really your experience of me when I stayed at your house? I'm actually a pretty non-judgemental guy w/ many "sins" and problems of my own. I'm just tired of seeing non-Christians ridicule Christians for their beliefs. And in spite of your assumption, most Christians and Catholics I know have questioned MOST of their beliefs at one time or another. Those that don't question them I'm not much interested in befriending, since I'm not all that interested in befriending cattle. Let's remember Brandy, this all started b/c you and others were jumping Sara's shit for sharing her joy at being pregnant and how her view of God plays into that. She started the thread in SC b/c she thought mods would automatically put in here anyway. She didn't intend a debate to start.. Go back to her original thread and you'll see who her TARGET audience was. It wasn't "you heathens." I'm just sorry you can't get past the fact that anytime a Christian (which automatically = hypocrite in your eyes, as if everyone isn't a hypocrite in some way or another) shares their faith publically, that automatically means they're trying to ram it down your throat. The truth is, it's just not the case. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

That's easy: 1. I don't START threads about my religious beliefs. 3. This is SC and participation is optional. If anyone chooses to start a thread on some topic, they shouldn't whine that they're being "picked on" when others disagree with them. Saying you don't whine is like saying the Pope isn't Catholic, John. ) The Pope's Catholic? I thought he was a Nazi. Same thing....

As far as the church's actions go... Perhaps they should have a look at The Gnostic Gospels... The ones suppressed by The Catholic Church (quelle surprise). Mike. Suppressed? You gotta be kidding me. I can go to any bookstore anywhere and pick up a copy of the gnostic gospels. Suppressed my ass. The Catholic Church simply stated that the content of the gnostic gospels are not consistent w/ the other books of the bible. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Wow! That's quite a sighting! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Reasonable, yes, but I gotta admit, this is pretty heady stuff for me. You might wanna dumb it down a little for me I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I find it tremendously amusing that you get so bent out of shape over someone making a joke about one of your pet symbols yet have obviously gone out of your way to try and offend people with your sig line. The original comment about Mary that was offensive was NOT a joke, I believe, although it was couched as "humor." As for my sig line, it's a shame that the only way you can interpret it is as offensive. I guess that's the lense through which you see. There is actually a much different way to read that statement. I'm sorry you don't see it. It isn't at all meant to offend. The offensive sig is the one that suggests anyone who does not believe in the same mythical being as the writer cannot be a good person. If you're referring to my sig line, you're reading an awful lot into it, Far more than what it actually says... which is that we should feel sorry for those who don't know of the God to whom they should direct their gratitude. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

While your god was doing his awesome stuff, why didn't he provide a bit better so your pregnancy and child would not have to be supported by tax (medicaid) dollars? edit... didn't see a post about medicaid... whoopsie. Do you have to try to be so offensive or does it just come naturally? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Jeez Lee, way to add to the debate. What is the debate exactly? If you mike can prove that god exists then you can have my business my house my everything. All everyone has at the end of the day is faith. So to come on here and proclaim that God is responsible for shit is pathetic. Don't get me wrong. If religion works for you then that is great. But no-one has any real proof that God, buddha, jehovah pick one... exist. I personally believe a higher power does exist but i am not going to hold that power responsible for anything that happens Like i said. Everyone can recite all the versus they want. I just want hard proof that is all. I was speaking about your *cough* cogent remarks regarding god (sic) shooting "his load downstairs..." Remarks like that do nothing but fan flames of anger.

You must have led a sheltered existence. john, honest questions: do you think then, based on your post, that unnatural things happen? how do you define unnatural? You have NO idea how much this pains me, but I'm with Mirco on this, In the system we are talking about here, all things are natural, if the happening is not YET explainable this does not mean it's UN-natural, merely that our current understanding of physics is limited (and john yo KNOW that to be true) I do believe, my friend, that you owe (even if you don't drink) I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

SHAME ON YOU for allowing NASCAR to become so fucking popular. No More Tequila For You! ... until tomorrow. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...
