lcm himself stated (in "vp and me") that the sole criterion he was given as to whether or not he would be able to stay in the corps was, in vpw's own words, "YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOUR MONEY HOLDS!" That should tell people something. Someone here once posted that a wow assignment they were aware of WAS determined at the toss of a coin-and the coin-tosser claimed that's how they normally did it. There was some question as to whether or not they were kidding about that being how they NORMALLY did it, but that time it was done by coin-toss.

I'll go a step farther. vpw had a conventional education-high school, college, grad school- but no experience even PARTICIPATING in any kind of training program. With no experience in the development of one, the running of one, or even the participating IN one, he was totally clueless in what was needed. THAT's the man that threw this program together on the fly, and didn't bring anyone on board who did.

"Know what happens when you give a politician Viagra?" "No." "He gets taller." "Guy come out of an antique shop carrying a big grandfather's clock. Bumped into this drunk, broke the clock. Guy said, 'Why don't you watch where you're going.' The drunk says, 'Why don't you carry a wristwatch like everybody else.' "Stop that! Why are doin' that?" "What I'm about to do, I don't want to remember a lot of it." "Hey Man, don't hit him! That's AJ Foyt!" "Really?" "The Fourth!" "Do you know how fast you were going?" "What?" "How fast you were going." "Ten?" "Eight." "Isn't the speed limit ten?" "Yeah. It is." "Are you police?" "CAMPUS police." "I want that road blocked tighter than a tick's @$$!" "Are you really Japanese?" "Dammit, we are high-powered Japanese executives. We work hard and we play even harder. Now tell us what you see there or we'll find ourselves another candidate over at Georgia Polytech." "I don't know about you, but I'd SURE hate to be that safe right about now..." "Hmm, must be a wet fuse." "Maybe its backwards." "Of course its supposed to be backwards-it's a CHINESE fuse." "No, I mean its backwards from the way it's supposed to be." "Have you ever been to China? Have you ever been to China?" " I ate Chinese food once." "Yea, well you don't blow up Mu Shu Pork my friend." "I dated a Korean girl in high school." "That is an entirely different Oriental nation. Get an education!" "You’re the one who got the fuse wrong!" "You know nothing about Chino-Sino-American relations."

Ah! "Yankee traders." That was from the LOUSY diplomatic skills Picard suddenly DIDN'T have when the Enterprise first encountered the Ferengi. (Hm. For a skilled diplomat, he didn't know the most basic information about an advanced race he might encounter, and for a ship's captain, he was a total stranger to the capital ship called the Ferengi Marauder. Whoops!) The Ferengi, according to Data, said the Ferengi were like Yankee Traders, and operated on the principal of "let the buyer beware." (Caveat emptor.) IIRC, this was the episode that they found "THE LAST OUTPOST" of the Tkon Empire. And the only appearance of the Ferengi energy whips- after which, the Ferengi switched to more practical disruptors like the Klingons and Romulans. (Funny how the Cardassians used phasers like the Federation...)

No....

You should check every few minutes, since there will be some requests for instructions. You'll temporarily download the widget for the antivirus, select a few options, then finish a download or something, then you'll run the program. Once it finds something, it will give you options of what to do with it, and if you want it to do that with anything else it finds. THEN you can leave it alone until it's done. Depending on the speed of your connection (the first 1/2), and the speed of your pc and how much stuff is in there (the 2nd 1/2), this can take up to about 2 hours, or a lot less, depending.

Larry, do you have a little program-widget that keeps reposting the same cut-and-paste every day or so? Actually, this is not "John Lynn's response", since for this to be "John Lynn's response", it would have to be IN RESPONSE to Don's post in some way, which means it would have to have taken place AFTER Don's post. (Unless he claims personal prophecy showed him Don's post and he posted the "response" before the original post, but I've yet to see him claim this. I don't know if he is, but if he is, I haven't seen it.)

I'll give it a shot, to the limits of my limited knowledge. I'm presuming that you mean that your firewall's reporting that a program ON your computer, called QaZ, is trying to "dial out", and not that your firewall is reporting that a program hosted elsewhere, called QaZ, is trying to "dial in" to your computer. Speak up if it's the latter. As to nasty viruses, if your antivirus (for example, Norton) is not up to cleaning it out, time to use something stronger. :) Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and spend 2 hours (or less) using the online antivirus to clean out your pc. Let me know if that doesn't do it- if not, you may need to do something with your pc's registry and so on. But let's try the painless methods first... (Oh, and I never heard "Norton's a great antivirus", but I'd make sure my antivirus was completely up to date...)

"'Where is God? God is everywhere. Why? Because He likes you.' A mix of the Vatican and Disney.' "- "Father Guido Sarducci", comedian. As I see it (and we've discussed this before), all of reality (space-but now we're discussing TIME) is finite, God is not. So, my personal opinion is that reality (space AND time) exist WITHIN God, as a subset, but not literally as "a part of God", within just as a penny dropped into a bathtub is IN the water, but not water itself. I'm not going to get into the Flatland model again. :)

I could swear I've heard the one about paperwork and the date, but this is no television show I'm familiar with- the other quotes all seem foreign to me. Maybe I've heard that line on a commercial.

Is this the ST:TNG episode where they discover these crystals and find out they're this lifeform that needs light to survive or something?

As it is written, it is TECHNICALLY true, but written DECEPTIVELY, so that the most casual reader will draw an INCORRECT conclusion. vpw did not study at Princeton University. vpw got his Masters at Princeton Theological Seminary. They are both located at Princeton, NJ, and are not connected with each other in any significant way-other than location and name. That having been said, Princeton Theological Seminary is a respectable school of learning, and is worth placing on a list of accomplishments. It's no "Pikes Peak", certainly. I forget which GSC'er has also attended it, but you can find it with a search. The way it's written, one might think vpw studied at Princeton Theological Seminary, then went on to earn a Masters at Princeton University. lcm used to make a point of making it sound like vpw studied at Princeton University, by calling PTS "Princeton". When I get some time, I'm going to have some fun and address the page's claims.

No. AFAIK, we have not done THIS movie yet. "Know what happens when you give a politician Viagra?" "No." "He gets taller." "Guy come out of an antique shop carrying a big grandfather's clock. Bumped into this drunk, broke the clock. Guy said, 'Why don't you watch where you're going.' The drunk says, 'Why don't you carry a wristwatch like everybody else.'

The tracker was a great guy-until vpw had to share the spotlight with him, then there was trouble....

Everybody's in a hurry. Ok, next one... "Know what happens when you give a politician Viagra?" "No." "He gets taller."

We know it's "Star Trek:TNG", but I don't have the episode.

It's "Star Trek III:the Search for Spock", isn't it?

Someone's pretending vpw didn't do the evil deeds they did, and pretending the Bible didn't condemn actions he did.] Once again, WTH's posts have lost connection with the thread they're on.vpw DID horrific acts. Period. He is to be blamed for the horrific acts he did. Why do we bring it up? Because claiming he did not, and made-up virtuous acts are attributed to him, and used for propaganda purposes. This is easy, since vpw himself did this for more than a decade. WTH's just made up a horrific act, blamed rascal, for it, and is using it for propaganda purposes. Like was donw with Japan and Spain once. He's made up emotionally-laden propaganda. He doesn't serve humanity, promote peace or understanding. He's got his own personal "political" agenda, and has made up his vicious depictions are attempts to attack others he disagrees with. He's got to demonize the reasonable posters FIRST, however.

It's been attributed to Edmund Burke. Just because YOU'VE grown up since arriving doesn't mean everyone has. Doesn't it strike you as mildly ironic that those who haven't, who are "stuck" in their development at whatever point they were in twi, would be the ones quick to accuse those who've matured as having been "stuck"?

[WordWolf's comments in boldface, as they often are.]

Yes. I used it in the movie links at one point as the middle link, because in France, they played it in THEATERS. But I ended my move with an actor so as not to stall the thread.

Meanwhile, I DON'T wonder why some people are swift to change the subject from "corrupt religious leaders who should be in jail" to "corrupt political figures who should be in jail" and pretend that some people hold corrupt politicians blameless, then claim outrage at the imaginary people who never said that. When someone has an agenda, it can affect all their posts. Corrupt people of both types are wrong and should be in prison. NEITHER should get a free pass. What's so problematic about saying exactly that? People who supposedly represent God are supposed to be examples of good conduct and what God wants. Therefore, it's more reprehensible that such a person be corrupt. To a degree, we know, on the other hand, that political elections are often between selecting one from 2 disgusting choices (or more), and that political interests and corruption are not that surprising to find together. It's still WRONG, but less of a shock.

WTH's definition of "distorted picture", of course, involves "any complete picture that he doesn't LIKE.... WW: WTH: Actually, the standard of 2 or 3 witnesses to determine truth predates Paul by a considerableamount, and Paul has nothing to do with what I was saying. Deuteronomy 17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. WTH: Of course he wasn't. However, Deuteronomy stated that whether or not a manwas guilty of any iniquity or sin (you know, like raping a woman or whatever), that the matter would be established at the mouth of three witnesses. (One presumes more than 3 would be better.) Therefore, by the Mosaic Law (given by God Almighty, remember), that's how we determine whether vpw or anyone else did the terrible things they did. God's Word said that's how it's done. WTH said that's NOT how it's done- instead some method favourable to finding vpw blameless of felonies should be used. Who should be believed? WTH: See, this fits right into what I said earlier.WW: WTH has selected Option B. Which is his choice.

I can see the sense of having a general checkup and being in general physical health before entering a program like the way corps-although not for STAFF. However, that's NOT what you had- your tests SKIPPED all the ones for general health- and instead focused on the ones for sexually-transmitte diseases. WHY would a supposed "Christian" ministry- one which supposedly isn't interested in bringing people on-campus to rape them, coerce them or trick them into having sex, skipping general health tests and ONLY giving the ones for STDs?
