Excellent!!

I don't think it's speaking ill of the dead if it is/was fact. For instance I do not think it is speaking ill of the dead to say that victor paul wierwille was a drunken, woman abusing, raging, loud-mouthed, ill-tempered, arrogant rapist. However it probably would be speaking ill of the dead if I said I hope he is spinning so hard in his grave because of GSC that his corpse could run a power turbine to generate electricity for all of southwest Ohio.

Heh heh heh - pig latin / TWI - has a nice ring to it.

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week. Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her husband is on the back of the milk carton. WOMEN'S REVENGE 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. 'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked. 'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.' UNDERSTANDING WOMEN (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE) I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider. CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, 'Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife? He answers, 'You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own ...so does she. WIFE vs. HUSBAND A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?' 'Uh huh..' the wife replied, '…my in-laws.' WORDS A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day. 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... The husband then turned to her and said '…What?' CREATION A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be so stupid, and so beautiful all at the same time. 'The wife responded, '…Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I’d be attracted to you! WHO DOES WHAT A man and his wife were arguing about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, 'You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, 'You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.' Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee..' Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.' So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says “ …HEBREWS' The Silent Treatment A man and his wife were having some problems at home and giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.' Men are just not equipped for these kinds of contests.

Yep - I'm with you Garth - Wierwille rapes women with impunity then says queers have devil spirits. WTFO?

Hey rat - we miss your posts on P&T

Well done sir.

Well I was just going to leave this thread alone but your last post (you're up way too late or way too early) prompted a couple of comments. If you read around here you will see that more than one woman was sexually molested, abused, and debased by the great vp and his filthy and drunken little henchmen. There is no one I can think of on this site who would condone, nor attempt to justify, by moral, legal, or "biblical" means, sexual abuse of women in the name of god, or for that matter in the name of anything. Spend a few bucks on Kirsten's book and EyesOpen's book. Generally, people here are pretty much with open arms to those who got abused. If there is one weakness - and it is not a weakness of GSC - people in general are like this - it is that some people - who I am reasonably sure are perfectly nice people and would never harm an ant - still feel some obligation to be the moral thought police. Some of it is still clearly steeped in TWI doctrine...some of it is just...well maybe just because they want the world to be a better place (bad news - it ain't gonna happen). Now if you would prefer to keep up with your constant comments about the motor coach comment - please read the one person who got it right - Geisha. Outside of that feel free to flame me all day long. I'll add your name to a long and distinguished list of people. BTW - before you toss around phrases like "passive aggressive" you might want to ask me what my MMPPI scores look like - since those are the accepted standard for psychological evaluation from everything from "fit to stand trial" to (god forbid) able to launch a nuke. Anyway - you have some interesting comments posted and some interesting questions. You mentioned you would like to talk with me and not about me. Fair enough. However I will not do that in some public forum. If you want to talk I'll be glad to call you on my dime or give you my phone number and we can talk and not just post on threads.

Thanks! I am just not a turkey person but I might just try this with some duck or goose.

Agreed wholeheartedly!

So does your agency own the IP or can you (willing to) post your material for those of us who are interested?

Agreed that the rules of GSC are not controlling by design. I was thinking more about trying to apply so-called societal norms to an ex-cult networking site. One thing I find rather amusing is to compare "Politics and Tacks" to "About the Way" and/or "Open." In P&T there are plenty of good barroom brawls - pretty much on a daily basis - but as Mstar noted - while the disagreement on various issues is vehement - probably most of the participants would be glad to have a beer together. That willingness to be radically different from one another - and yet not make it some personal gig - seems to be lacking in some other threads. Then again I've rarely been known for tact and diplomacy.

Not sure I completely agree about the generalization of the rules of society applying here Dooj. The net has a long history of the general rules not applying since there is this charade of anonymity about it. In many ways GSC is no different than Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter or any other social networking site. Granted there is some common focus here about TWI, but it really functions as another social networking site. As you well know - most rules of society are not even remotely followed on Facebook et. al. The pics people often post on FB would probably never be posted at the work place, on campus, at school. The dialogues would never be repeated at the office. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Consider that most people who are here would also not go to the office and describe a decade of being in a religious cult...not good for a promotion...however they can express themselves here and the general population of GSC will understand to some degree. Speaking only for myself I hope the general rules of society NEVER apply to the net. Societal rules are half functional on a good day. The net is wide open and while it offends some - the fact is that it remains the mechanism of the single most free thinking expression(s) in the world. For those who wish to govern others' morals and behavior - indeed - they would like to see the net controlled, "moderated," edited, censored even - rather evident on this site from certain repetitive posters. Over six billion people on this planet and somehow people are still offended with differences of opinion. Religion - ain't it just freakin' grand? IMO we should be sending cell phones, faxes and net connections to the middle east and not munitions and soldiers.

Good observation

At your convenience.

You can hit the "Multiquote" button on more than one post then hit the "Add Reply" at the bottom - don't just hit the "Reply" to a single post. Up to (I think) three posts will be quoted and you can intersperse your comments as you see fit. However - whatever works for you.

Heh - would be glad to share recipes on here. Nothing really fancy on the menu - just good cooking....BUT BUT - no wheel kits (or wheel barrows as called in the USA) - if you eat to much you are welcome to crash on the floor whilst I listen the the Grateful Dead and prepare the next meal

Hey! Since I can't get Patak's mango pickle, lime pickle etc - you offering to send me some if I cover the expense and your time?

That was much excellent...thanks

I work at LSU - so take a guess - and yeah been cooking etouffee for almost 30 years now...among other things.

Well since my S/O is working today and all children are respectively with other parents - ain't doin' nuthin for TNX meal....however if you want our XMAS menu here it is.... XMAS Menu 2009.doc

You really as in no farking dange really saw that on the media? I'm rolling over that one. Not because I am liberal. I hate all politicians...this one was just another good one.

The Kennedy's were simply politicians - i.e. scum. I mourn no loss of them. The one tragic assassination of the 60's was MLK Jr.

That's great - mogfarts - sounds like a Harry Potter term
