Yeah - it's actually a legal term. Case in point - going back to the university. A student, of the age of consent (over 21), is failing a class. She goes to the instructor and unbuttons her blouse and says she will do anything to get a passing grade. Faculty person takes her up on the offer...the guilt lies on the faculty person. You can say all day long that she was of the age of consent and approached you - but you have undue influence over her life, her grades, and hence potentially her future success in her career. The onus is on the person who is "in charge" to maintain propriety.

TWI took it one more step. Wierwille would have never ascribed to the following publicly - but he sure didn't dismiss it either. If I give you items 1-3 above then: if you believe wierwille when he said "the word takes the place of the absent christ" God told me he would teach me the word like it hasn't been known since the first century. conclusion: Wierwille is the only modern day keeper of the perfect word - which takes the place of the absent christ. Hence wierwille can take the place of the absent christ by virtue of being the only keeper of the perfect word in the 20th century. (BTW - anyone ever wonder why God would call it the first century? Surely God new that a few centuries preceded what christians call the first century eh?) Again the reasoning (I can't bring myself to call it logic) is flawed - but you can see how people could make those mental leaps. Love ya Vic - especially now that you are dead and can't abuse people any more with your sadistic temper and your pornographic sexual appetite.

Now we're talking!!!

HEY!!! That's my new house in LA!!!!! Go easy!!!

And it will be safe because security will be provided by the stay-puft marshmallow man - long a promoter of safe teaching and part-time motor coach escort. All martyrs know they need good security and who better than stay-puft?

Ummm - go download OpenOffice 3.X - you don't have to replace MS office - just download it and try it...you might be pleasantly surprised

So far I've had no major issues with W7. The GUI has a decidedly MacOS-X look and feel...in fact almost indistinguishable - however you can opt for the XP type interface if you want. If you plan on using MS Office you should wait just a bit for the new Office 2010 release to come out. 2003/2007 both run but seem a bit clunky. No wonder I prefer Linux and OpenOffice....just not the same issues that MS seems to always bring to the dinner table uninvited.

Well stated. Or as the scientists say in Russia at a presentation - is it Pravda? Or is it really Pravda. (Pravda == truth)

I have no doubt as to the good intention of your post...however... I think it noble when people give blood...I am just sickened by the social process of selection about who gives to who...perhaps that kind of SELECTION just reminds me of the mentality of people who decide ARBITRARILY not medically...who gets blood and who does not...SELECTION...please step into the showers...we just want to wash all of the lice off with our new Zyklon-B soap Read Geisha's post. They tossed her blood. If her hubby was going to get something from her blood he likely already had it - especially if you are talking about STD's and other body fluid transmitted diseases.

Dammit - it was just getting entertaining...

I am, quite frankly, completely fed up with, and massively angry at how blood donations are being handled these days. NOT, mind you, the concept of being a donor. Before my surgery a few years ago they recommended two units of self-directed donation. Fair enough, until I found out that in CA I DO NOT get my blood...I get whatever they haul out of the bank and my donation is used to replenish any that might be used. OK - maybe that's not so bad...but this one pi$$ed me to this day. A colleague of mine had a daughter who contracted a vary rare leukemia, went right for the bone marrow...she exhausted all standard protocols and went on experimental protocols. Hospital (in Seattle) was looking for donor matches for more than blood type. Oddly enough I was a close enough match to donate. But NO NO NO....both California and Washington have laws - LAWS MIND YOU - forbidding directed donations, even in potentially lethal cases, except for immediate family members...she had no other matches other than mine...and she died...she died because someone decided to make sure blood was handed out based on some social rules rather than based on medical need. Screw all of your blood donation rules. She died at 37 because of blood donation rules....social rules...

Maybe Rozilla is just keeping 15% for her own drinking pleasure

Just go to http://www.donotcall.gov You can add multiple numbers including cell phones. Telemarketers will still BS you and tell you they are only calling with a survey and are exempt...that's when you can have some fun...like tell them you'll take their survey if they'll take yours. Then, without hesitation, you immediately start asking questions about their personal hygiene and sexual appetites. They usually hang up pretty quickly.

*smirk* and I bet you think you are an animal enthusiast!!! Why leafy dear you are robbing those cats of their exercise, long history of surviving as natural hunters, recreation, and last but not least, their entertainment!!!

I have to be voting for the cats on this one....heck sounds darned near like an SNL skit

Bingo - over to you

I always found that whispering to unruly cats the classic phrase "crock pot" does wonders for human/feline social interaction. For those cats which need more remedial help; a reminder of Stubb's BBQ sauce adds "emphasis for clarity"

OK I know I seem to watch obscure movies so I will give a hint besides the "one line" First line actors were Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman. The line... "This... is from...Matilda"

Now you do realize that that was unfair. Only about five people on this board who would get that...Hmmm lemme go put on some Grateful Dead

Aye lads!! Now we're makin' progress. Thanks for adding to the threads! I gotta love the "spittle of the drunken lecher"

OK we all had our fill of the red thread...but a dear friend suggested a couple of new threads tonight. And all due credit goes to that person ...really..honestly...trust me...so please, please add to the threads The Black Thread The New Red Thread The New Read Thread.... In Cannabis he was the stamen on the plant In Lysergis he was Tartrate-25 The Black Thread In Genesis he was the seed who thought he had a serpent In Leviticus he was the issue of blood In New Knoxville he owned a coach with motors In Rome City he was the wooden spoon of abuse In Emporia his date was the wicked witch of the west

War of the Worlds - actually from the "original" text of the first Hollywood production in the 50's as well as from HG Wells book.
