  1. I'll take that. The Amazing Spider-Man
  2. "Stop that guy!" "Not my policy." *** "Oh no! You found my weakness! Small knives!"
  3. Thor Natalie Portman The Professional
  4. Yes. Life Goes On was about a Down Syndrome teen and his family. Good show.
  5. Throughout history, whenever man has answered the call to persecute the Jews, identifying them was never a problem.
  6. A kid with Down Syndrome gets through high school and, years later, laments about how close he came to being a contender.
  7. I think I had breakfast at that ski lodge. I had, how you say, Sunny side up...
  8. What's an escalope? And I think I'll take the tunnel on the way back from the store. The bridge looks like a bad idea.
  9. No apology needed, Socks. I neglected in all this discussion to include on this thread a link to Samarin's article and Poythress' article, which have dominated the other discussion. Here's Poythress: http://www.frame-poythress.org/linguistic-and-sociological-analyses-of-modern-tongues-speaking-their-contributions-and-limitations/ Here's Samarin: http://philosophy-religion.info/handouts/pdfs/Samarin-Pages_48-75.pdf
  10. Dogma Jason Mewes Scream 3 (Mewes and his frequent on-screen ally had a cameo in Scream 3, apparently in character as Jay and that other guy).
  11. Yeah, we're not on new ground here. A little more detail on old ground. But not on new ground.
  12. It will be interesting to see how you tie that into this discussion.
  13. So if God does what you describe, WordWolf, could that explain why SIT is not deciphered by linguists? (I don't buy it, myself. It's not what the Bible describes. I consider that an ad hoc argument designed to explain why modern SIT doesn't produce what the Bible clearly describes, Chockfull's caveats considered).
  14. Arthur Fonzarelli becomes a racecar driver and charms the pants off Nicole Kidman
  15. No intent to recycle the same arguments. Thanks for clarifying, chockfull.
  16. The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three Musketeers
  17. Not baiting. Trying to articulate what Allen might have meant, synthesizing some of the other aspects of our discussion. But I don't think I was trying to suggest this was Chockfull's position. Chockfull's position appears to be that I am mistaken in insisting that SIT produces a real human language. It may, on occasion, if God wills it, but it may also produce a linguistic code that no one but God can break. Thus, no surprise that a linguist cannot find a language in it. May not even be able to decipher a code. But God knows it's there.
