(My ten will get your one that this will inevitably spiral downward into an anti-Obama, "This is what socialized medicine will bring us!!" teaba--err, 'discussion'. ... But then again, that's my 'positive believing' on the matter. What's yours? I got a ten spot riding on it. <_< )

Well what do ya know? For _once_ in his life, he goes and does something halfway decent. <_< Now all he has to do is drop his con game, and he'd be home free.

The trinitarian vs. unitarian argument. ... That old chestnut? ... Again? ... For the past 1600+ years?? <_<

/me being dragged kicking and screaming towards ... Olde Age! Anywho, thanks for the good wishes. From someone who has _always_ been an old fart ;) :P , GarthP Update: Hey Ron, are those nurses a B-day present from ya? ;) You can keep the pineapple enema. Why you can even paint Obama's face on it, if'n you want.

Atheists conniving with TWI to ruin people's lives, and turning them into hard-core criminals. ... Now who woulda thunk it? So _that's_ what Madalyn Murrey O'Hare was doing since she won that Supreme Court case banning School-induced prayer! Yah! ... Right! ... <_<

How in the Dicken's can this be where TWI doesn't own the property at HQ anymore? :unsure:

Really? Relative to what? ... I mean, it _could_ be argued that she's RELATIVELY good as compared to Hitler, ... or Stalin, ... or Pol Pot, ... or even Jeffrey Dahmer. Somehow I don't find that too comforting or edifying. ... but hey, that's just me.

The first part gives the answer to the 2nd. Ie., one big reason why she is still there, and enjoying the so-called 'warm fellowship' of believers, is _because_ of her inheritance. Further ie., because she (most likely) believes in abundant sharing, they ain't gonna bite the hand that feeds them so generously.

(I know that MarkO's not gonna like the source, but ...) 'Web Beacons' according to Wikipedia

So Glenn Beck is a Wayfer ehh? ... That's rich!

Speaking of Project 9/12: Glenn Beck's '9-12' logo based on Communist/Socialist Designs and Breaking: Glenn Beck secret communist, socialist? :blink: :blink: Say it ain't so, Glenn!! ... (((sobs))) P.S., Oh and as an experienced graphics designer, I can see their point.

... ... ... NOW jump on the noob! I just LOVE it when Yet Another VPW Goosesteppe--uhh, I mean, 'apologist' pops up on the scene. ... Keep things from either getting too boring around here, ... or being too heavy with the 'Obama is the Stalinist Anti-Christ' threads (liberally sprinkled with MarkOMalley's statistics and links ). Good to see that we can get back to the original mission of the Greasespot Cafe. ;)

... and often assisted by their overseeing higher ups. ... Kinda like the child molesting priests who were shifted from church to church so they didn't have to be held accountable by the public. <_<

And that's why I brought it up.

ChasUFarley, Now its for people like _that_ who needs a good dose of ... The Bastard Operator From Hell!! Here's a dandy example. ;) Now examples like that oughtta make your day, Chas, ol' buddy.

Jim, There's no bug in either Vista or XP in it's top access of 3 gig of memory. It actually can access 3.5 gig, and that's no matter how much memory you put in. The only operating system that can access more than that amount is the 64-bit versions of MS Windows XP, Vista, or the new Windows 7. I don't know any more as to the why's and the wherefores, but that's basically the case. And the 'Vissa' Indian tech support guy should have known that. ... If he was properly trained. ... Which he wasn't, ... as that would have cost Dell $$money$$. <_<

And to think that there are people who argue _against_ the death penalty. But seriously Mark, I know that (well I think anyway) that you come out against the death penalty, and I respect your reasons for it, really I do. But as far as I'm concerned, ... crank up Sparky for all of the punks. All of them!

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff. I love that last video, Roy. And its true that if a cat does not want to be picked up, it WILL let you know in a hurry! :blink: Thanks for the laugh.

... for $1.95?

Mark, After reading your latest post, the one with all the pictures, I couldn't help but think "Wow! Talk about your loaded statements!" But this little jewel you said kinda stood out to me: I'm sorry, but since when did _any_ of the 'gravely evil' (?) government social programs 'usurp', ie., take away, prohibit your ability, right, and obligation to help the poor, speak out on their behalf, and do all those other charitable activities? Like it's an either/or situation? Government participation doesn't 'usurp' your participation in the least! ... At all.

YYUUCCCKKK!! Yet Another Poorly Designed Site! Dude! You trying to hypnotize your readers with those clashing colors!? :wacko:

Excellent and well put post, Geisha! Thank you!

The site has no text fields to type the answer in, and no Send button to sent it. Thus, no way to respond. Ie., poorly designed site.

Further . I'm keeping track of all the 'green votes' vis-a-vis' the 'red votes' here, and I agree with MarkO (I think it was MarkO). They are a rather stupid ... no, infantile, way of showing approval/disapproval in various posters. For example, I disagree with MarkO a lot, but I _know_ he's someone who speaks honestly and gives us all something to think about, ... yet he's being bombarded with negative 'red votes' as tho' he's the bad boy here. ... Gimme a break. ok, done with my rant. P.S., Here MarkO, want some of my 'green votes'?

Mark, Uhh, ... liberal leaning churches? ... You mean to tell me you don't see conservative churches doing the same thing? .... you know, Jerry Falwell? Pat Robertson? Focus on the Family? Ted Haggard, who even had a direct line to the White House under Dubya? All the fundamentalist churches who either downplay separation of church and state, if not outright opposing it (all because they decry the 'loss of God' in the public square). ... Where do you get your news from? First off, it isn't the _individual_ expression of religion by individuals in the public square that many of us SOCAS supportes are against. It is using the 'public square' ie., the government facilities to propagate, evangelize, and otherwise propound religion that we are non-apologetically against. Now (believe it or not) I have noticed those on the SOCAS side who do/have overreacted (particularly school officials who go kneejerk because they're scared of attorneys), and overreached in that manner. I also recall a particular court case that struck down a school's ban on a voluntary bible meeting by individual Christian students, meeting _after_ school hours on school property. Yes sir, it did. ... But it wasn't and isn't SOCAS supporters as a whole that supports that kind of overreacting behavior. Ie., if said religious behavior is using government offices/property/equipment/influence/etc. to propagate religion, conservative or liberal, then it is contradicting the 1st Amendment. Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently you have more-or-less accepted the "They are trying to banish Christianity from this country", townhall-level-of-hype (that really has no basis in reality). If you have any _evidence_ that this type of banishment is occuring (and at the wide spread level please. Isolated occurances doesn't count.), please show me. P.S., sort of here, yet maybe not so much. (At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist ;) ) As for the term 'public square' (ie., just another term for 'government' when you stop and think about it), the term is a more vague and round about way of saying the more specific term 'government', but its used that way for a reason, I think. To cloud it. Use the term 'government', and people get a kind of hard edged view (almost like Ron ;) ) about government. Ie., "they make laws, they tax us, they can throw you in jail, etc.". But you say the term 'public square', people have a more friendly image of government; a place where people meet and deal with the issues of the day, voice their opinions in the townhall, stuff like that. Things that also occur in government, but 'public square' seems to be more accomodating to people. Now if it was stated that "God was being kept from government", not too many people would be up in arms, (except maybe fundamentalist politicians who want to be elected) as more people would think of the part of the 1st Amendment that says "Congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of religion", ... but if it was stated that "God was being kept from the public square", a different reaction often occurs. Ie., "OMG, they're trying to ban God from the public square, and eventually drive Him from the country! ... We have to fight this!!", ... you know, garbage like that. <_< Again, this is basically my observation re: 'public square'. YMMV.
