Some sins in the OT got you asking for forgiveness. Others got you on the receiving end of a rock concert. If I called you a dirty word, that would be one thing. If I raped you, that would be quite another. True, both are sins. Both need forgiving. But to mock someone for "sin-rating" when God does it better than anyone... I don't know; strikes me as silly.

OOOOOOOOOOH. Good one! Didn't know it was a movie though. Couldn't figure out the first pic, but once you figure out the second one and the last group, it's pretty easy. The Emperor's New Clothes. (Emperor penguins/Nuke/Lowes)

You taught long? That was the worst thing you did? You selfishly taught long? Ooooooh. A jewel off the crown for you! I was an arrogant jerk! Still am, but at least now I know it and can work against it. Here's the key for me: I don't always have to be right anymore. I'm free!

That was good.

Did I post it before? I may have. I'm just waiting for sharon.

While we're waiting, here's another one: "Did you go to school for that?" "No, I got thrown out of school for that."

That would be my guess.

You're thinking too hard, folks.

What makes you think I give a rat's butt what you will accept as proof? The proof is there for any honest researcher, which you are not.

Correct. Nixon says it to a portrait of JFK.

An odd duck. Roy, no problem. I've got a sense of humor. Somewhere.

Because 3 million did not die; six million did. Because 10 million did not die; six million did.

Yes, they are. The actual numbers are more precise. They total somewhere around 6 million.

And that, my friends, is an uneven mallard at work. :)

SV, Between our two posts, I still think we have not written as much gibberish as WTH.

Bless you, my child. Feeling better already. Now 7-11 is selling pizza-sandwiches. Have you seen this? It's neither a pizza nor a sandwich. It's a mutant, and a threat to the American way of life. I say we deport all pizzandwiches! Send those things back where they came from. That's right, I'm talking about undocumented lunches. No amnesty! No amnesty! No amnesty!

DV: I don't believe I've said hello or welcome. Hello. Welcome. Coffee?

WTH: Just out of curiosity, when you gerbamble, does it hurt your kerfuffle? By that I mean, your method of polyoxinology seems inconsistent with the way you bedicterate your flobhoppleton. It's not always traphectorish to follow. It doesn't bother me, but I just wanted to make sure your nesdilitation doesn't need ponwafinating.

I appreciate that, Oaks. Yes, part of the equation is that I knew I was speaking to Oakspear, so I was confident that he would take the question as intended. I neglected the general audience and did not consider whether the question sounded snide in any way. I agree, we all have general questions: How could you leave before I left? How could you stay after I left? But most of all, how could you get in after I left? That's the one that hits the hardest. And it doesn't mean "I think you're an idiot for doing what you did." It means: what did you see that I didn't? What compelled you that could not compel me? What attracted you that did not attract me? What failed to repel you the way it did me? After I left TWI, I have to say that I was appalled at the little VPW idols they started selling. But those who stayed probably did not see it as an idol, and probably still don't. Me? I wouldn't even by those little ugly wallet photos they sold. Why would I? They were ugly men. If I'm carrying a photo in my wallet, it's going to be family or a good looking babe, not some ugly old man in a tux with a flower pinned to the lapel. Yuch. But a little statue? So much worse! (To me). So how could you not see things the way I saw them? It was an honest question, not intended to be snide at all. One could equally ask me: how could you see that as an idol? No one was being asked to worship it. What bug crawled up your butt that didn't crawl up mine? And you'd have a point. :)

OM The freedom to read and post whatever you want is also the freedom I have to call it the external manifestation in the senses realm of the internal stupidity of the notion that motivated the post.

Post away. Post some alchemy textbooks while you're at it.

You can also send them a freewill donation. I'm sure they'd accept it.

Let me guess: you're going to post some previously discredited nonsense and call it food for thought? Are you going to tell us that it's highlights of a book consisting of nothing but highlights?

It's not a matter of debate, Oldies. I was responding to a point you made BEFORE you suggested ceasing the discussion.
