Someone thinks he does, and you have at leat 5 million replies and posts in this thread alone. Do us all a favor, go "Wax Philisophical" In an Edgar Allen Poe forum.

I thought your question was "Where is Ron?" and Newbie's answer was to direct you to the "Alex thread" wherein Ron's banning is also discussed. The Ron you are talking about (with the Calvin avatar) is the same Ron being discussed in the thread. Clearly, I am confused. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

You have to read the whole thread. The thread itself is about Alex, but Ron is mentioned, along with his banning. Edited to add: The little kid in the red shirt is Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Just for 24 hours, I'd like to have that kind of power... ...well, maybe not. I'd probably use it badly, if at all. Maybe we need a "If you were the ruler of the world..." thread. I'd be interested to see what everyone would do. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Yes, they are. But let us be most inspired to keep this thread where it is, undeleted, unmoved, unlocked. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

“Know thy lot, Know thine enemies, Know thyself.” or, as Shakespeare said: "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose." The fact of the matter is that the Bible can be used for all manner of unseemly purpose. But in my case, even pagans like to be culturally literate.

There is some dispute about Lodgson's involvement in the New American Standard Bible. http://www.wayoflife.org/articles/logsdon2.htm The Lockman Foundation has made the following statement in regard to Logsdon: "The Board of Directors of the Lockman Foundation launched the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE translation work in the late 1950's following the completion of the AMPLIFIED NEW TESTAMENT. Dr. S. Franklin Logsdon was acquainted with Dewey Lockman, president of the Lockman Foundation, prior to Mr. Lockman's death in 1974. Mr. Logsdon was never a member of the Board of Directors, nor was he an employee of the Lockman Foundation. Mr. Logsdon had no authority to hire employees or translators for the Foundation, to set policy, to vote, to hold office, to incur expenses, etc. He cannot be considered ‘co-founder’ of the NASB or part of the Lockman Foundation. According to our records, he was present at a board meeting on two occasions -- once to hear a travel report; and once to deliver an ‘inspirational thought.’ Mr. Logsdon wrote to Mr. Lockman in fall of 1973 that he was moving to Florida. Mr. Lockman replied that he was surprised and saddened by his decision to leave the area. Mr. Lockman passed away in January of 1974, and no further correspondence was exchanged between Frank Logsdon and The Lockman Foundation. He resided in Florida until his passing some years ago." -- The Lockman Foundation, 1995 My understanding (from my mother, of course, because I haven't researched it much myself) is that the NASB is a carefully rendered, literally accurate translation of the original texts, which the KJV is not. I happen to prefer it for most of my understanding of the Bible, although such things as Ruth's speech to Naomi, 1 Corinthians 13 and Ecclesiastes 3 sound better to me when read from the KJV. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Is today your birthday, dear? I'm sorry. You share a birthday with a rat bastard. Edited to add: I am confused, but I'm not going to do this over again. The fink's birthday is Monday, not today. So everyone born on the 23rd is a rat fink, not those born on the 21st. Sorry. But happy birthday to you anyway Tony, and many more to come.

Sold. You know just how to manipulate me. How soon can you be here? If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

No one said anything about being fair. I don't know how "fair" came into it. A spontaneous show of support and affection does not equate to fairness.

Only the policy has been elided (in draft, but we don't know what the final document will say). The regulation remains: "No aerial delivery." Unless a policy is implemented that makes an exception to the reg for base jumping, what exactly is the gain here? After all, just because NPS can no longer point to the policy doesn't mean that it can't continue to prosecute under the reg. As for the ACLU, what has been implied above by Ray is accurate: base is not controversial enough for it to become involved. That doesn't mean that the base community can't decide to band together and hire counsel to bring a lawsuit on its own behalf. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Only if I can try it out on you first. Anyway, today is the actual birthday of the SOB for whom this thread was created.

None of the above.

PJ, I was born in 1958. When I was growing up we walked to school in the scorching heat, in 10 feet of snow, uphill both ways. And some people still believed that children didn't have fully developed nerve endings. After all, circumcisions were performed without anesthesia, so why would a child need anesthesia for work on her teeth? You'd be surprised both how much and how little we've evolved in the almost 50 years I've lived on this earth. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

I can write my own. That's a point to me I think..

All fixed.
