Not QUITE that early. :)

You're thinking of the correct video, but that's not quite the name of the band, despite my quote.

I also agree, but my opinion, as non-staff, is strictly advisory. I think the staff would indicate the intent allows new arrivals who are still suffering waybrain to post, which helps their recovery. Naturally, I have rebuttals to that, as, no doubt, do you.

"That's from an obscure language called French --" "A language which for centuries on Earth represented civilization, Mister Data." "Indeed?" "I suggest you drop it, Mister Data."

"Say, we can act if we want to- If we don't nobody will, And you can act real rude and totally removed And I can act like an imbecile."

It's Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrxh_I2xFfs I'll post a new one shortly.

Aw, fudge. I was planning on using that one next.

"I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way. Tried to grow a little wiser, little better ev'ry day. But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles Then I'd still be where I started- bread and butter for a smile. Well I sold a million mirrors in a shop in Alley Way, But I never saw my face in any window any day. Well they say your folks are telling you to be a superstar, But I tell you just be satisfied to stay right where you are." "Well I've loved a million women in a belladonic haze, And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays. Give me ev'rything I need to feed my body and my soul And I'll grow a little bigger-maybe that can be my goal. I was told a million times of all the people in my way. How I had to keep on trying and get better ev'ry day. But if I crossed a million rivers and I rode a million miles Then I'd still be where I started, same as when I started." "Do you think you're better ev'ry day? No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave." "Take you all your time and money- Honey you'll survive." This was off an early album. the classic rock fans must be on hiatus....

No joke- get the Schoolhouse Rock DVD. 2 DVDs in the case, with every song they ever did. The "America Rock" segments were so good, people studying for their Citizenship tests were advised to go buy it. If you completely forgot what was on them, go to YouTube and search "Schoolhouse Rock". Play "The Shot Heard Round the World", "How a Bill Becomes a Law" and "Preamble." Based only on watching those in the 1970s, I was still able to recite the Preamble to the US Constitution to this day- provided I was allowed to sing it. :) I also know which Amendment was for Women's Suffrage, and what year the Amendment was passed. ("Suffering Before Suffrage.") NYU's Medical School used one or two of the science ones.

I thought this was worth repeating.

Can I just say it was the one with the bald, blue android, and can we move this along in some way? I don't care who takes the next turn.

Numbers 12:4-8 (KJV) 4And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. 5And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. 6And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. 7My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 8With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? ============= I think everyone knows that face-to-face communication is more intimate than any other form. Modern technology can fill in when that's not possible- but lacks the same intimacy. We can mail a letter, make a phonecall, send an email, use IM or IRC/chat, even chat with audio and video, but none of it is quite the same as face-to-face communication.

"Well they say your folks are telling you to be a superstar, But I tell you just be satisfied to stay right where you are." "Do you think you're better ev'ry day? No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave."

Ok, next song. "Do you think you're better ev'ry day? No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave."

I shall try to remember that. The obvious problem with that is you're basing that ENTIRELY on the KJV's word "eternal" and supposing that's the correct word to translate to in English, without checking out for yourself, then adding your reasoning to THAT. IF it's correct, you may be in good shape. If it's WRONG, your entire apologia is off. That IS what he SAID. I don't know if he's right-I haven't checked it out EITHER. YET. I was hoping to see what YOU came up with, since it was likely to include something I wouldn't, since we think differently. From what little he's posted here, though, he's posted more support for his position than you have for yours. Someone can come up with a detailed explanation that is STILL false, even though it looks correct. Remember Bullinger explaining the difference between "kingdom of heaven" and "kingdom of God"? Remember how they turned out to be synonymous anyway? I'm not going to push you to support your position, though. I didn't realize you would not, otherwise I just would have left you alone.

Oldiesman? I say this without any shred of mocking. Mark's comment was about a study of the word "eternal", the Greek word aionion. He gave one meaning for the word. This is a gift-wrapped opportunity for you to demonstrate your skills at "Biblical research." You claim you learned lots of stuff in twi- which supposedly stressed Bible study. I've never questioned that either of those was true- but this means you should be ready to respond to questions with Bible study rather than rhetoric. Come on! I think this is a good chance to see you strut your stuff! Mark put forth an "argument" for his position using Scripture. Let's see your "counter-argument" from Scripture as well. Otherwise, it's like you're conceding the point completely.

A) This is NOT "hitting." I can point you to some of my former posts that might qualify for that term. The 'kid-gloves' are most definitely 'on' at the moment. B) I didn't see Mark ask you about the Trinity-I saw you inject it into the thread. At the moment, we at the GSC (the staff, and thus those of us who choose to cooperate with the staff) are asking that threads not be hijacked nor derailed. As a poster, you've gone out of your way to drop this subject into threads where a crowbar was needed to fit it. Even if I agreed with your position, it's poor "netiquette", and not in harmony with the letter or intent for harmonious discussion here. He asked you what you believe ON THE TOPIC WE ARE DISCUSSING- whether OSAS is true or not. He also said that- What "really annoys me" is something I find GREATLY TIRESOME. My brethen in Christ seem to rarely tire of biting and devouring one another, with little concern whether they're devouring one another. Mainly, they do this by picking a doctrine-and by this point, it could be ANY doctrine- and declare that Christians who disagree with them on this doctrine are NOT Christian, NOT saved, etc. etc. I can ramble on this subject with a functional analysis on this, but I doubt you'll want some Sociology on the subject. It wasn't sarcasm you detected, but weariness. I never said "don't post on it"- I just asked you post in the appropriate place-its own thread in this very forum. Oh-and you HAVE bit at me. Every single time you've pronounced non-Trinitarian Christians are not even Christians, you've slapped me across the face. You've denied me the right to call myself a Christian, or a disciple of Christ in any legitimate fashion. To you, I'm a deluded heretic, apostate, insignificant in the body of Christ because I'm not IN the body of Christ. There's no substantial difference between Oakspear- who proudly upholds his faith and is a non-Christian- and me- who proudly upholds my faith as a Christian- with the exception that he's telling the truth and I'm a FRAUD. On the other hand, I never even suggested YOU'RE not a Christian. It "SEEMS" you're missing what I SAID. I said NOTHING about being "SILENT." My suggestion would have STARTED A DISCUSSION ON YOUR FAVORITE TOPIC. How is that "silencing" you? Considering how you've insulted me-and don't even think of it as an INSULT- I think I've been QUITE kind. I have spoken the truth. Whether or not it's not "in love" because you disagree with it, or because it's not the nicest tone (even Jesus knew there were times to change your tone), some people would say it was "in love." (Of course, you're free to think they're deluded...) Look, this is simple. You can speak on any thread-so long as it's on topic for that thread. If no thread is on topic for what you want to speak on, you can make a new thread for which that IS the topic. ============ In other news.... Everyone else? I'm sorry. I consider this post off-topic. Under the circumstances, I thought it was necessary. If this goes further, I'll take it to another thread or a private discussion.

The "salad" line rings a bell, but I don't have it yet.

"Shine On, You Crazy Diamond." I read once where someone had a senior dance in high school where the adults were being especially restrictive, and the teens requested THIS song as the last song of the night. Slow dance, seven minutes PLUS, and the adults just had to let it go.... :)

Geisha. if you MUST take us down that road again, please make a new thread for it. (Or you can revive an old one, but in this particular case, that may not work best for you.)

I used to "time out" every once in a while, but I'm careful to refresh a window while I'm composing long posts now, so that doesn't happen. If your Firefox configurations are set to "refuse cookies" you may have trouble with messageboards. I had accidentally set that, and was wondering why a different board wasn't letting me log in. I figured it out when I checked my settings.

Nato, I appreciate your sentiment, but I think you just read too much into the TITLE without reading the opening post. Here's part of it....
