Think penis.

FS I generally use it to address people who have no idea what they're saying or doing. Though I guess it'd make more sense for someone who lets him/herself be used by another person.

Please, leave, you gargantuan bulk of incompetence. I would say you contribute absolutely nothing to any of the forums here, but that would be generous - you seem to be actually detracting from them.

Here's a rule of thumb for you, and Vince for that matter. When one makes a thread in the Philosophy forum, one does so with a purpose. Every now and then that purpose is simple entertainment value, but usually it is to get discussion going. You might be OK with someone posting "PUPPIES. DISCUSS." and then fleeting off to the next topic, but of course you're an arrogant, air-headed waste of molecules. So, yes. That is a rule. You might've missed it, considering you've only been here for one fucking day. Tool.

mburbank Sure, Vince, but what real work do you do? I've described various things I do at my job lots of times. You seem to shy away from it, just the way you wouldn't tell us about how you defended yourself with a weapon and can't pony up the name of the medical condition you have that disqualifies you from military service or the letter you dared us to ask you to post and then couldn't find when we did and said your roomate through away on this board while saying you threw it away on another board.

And as I've said before, the only Government money we get (and it's a sliver of our monetary pie) is National Science foundation, and we only get it by beating out other competitors.

But I guess if the Bush adminsitration gets it's way Vinces school will turn down vouchers. Cause, you know, he works at a real job doing... some... thing.

Zeb -
Wop is no more "classy" then say oh.... Jew Boy.

Most museums are financially supported by donations not federal money. You know, donations those things you said people should give if they want to help people get off drugs.
Apr 22nd, 2003 11:00 AM
VinceZeb OOHHHHH... "wop". Real classy.

I don't drink coffee. And I am not a secretary. I do REAL work. At a REAL business. We have to make REAL money. Unlike a govt-supported museum.
Apr 22nd, 2003 10:44 AM
mburbank Something to do with admission at a private school, but he won't say what exactly because we might not be wildly impressed by responsabilities like getting coffee and opening mail. Oh, oh, I'm sorry, sometimes they let him give prospective students tours.

mburbank Don't hold your breath while waiting to hear yourself think.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry; Uh, lets see now, everybody thinks your job is dumb, Italian guy.

See? I'm making an effort to communicate with you in a mode you understand.

waterwitch since when was the rule "you must defend every threat you create" made...? or was that just something that is supposed to be known...or maybe i missed something...
Apr 22nd, 2003 10:10 AM
VinceZeb I couldn't read your last post max because I was distracted by someone talking about how fucking lame someone must be to brag about working at a Museum.

And if you would quit jingling the coins you are busy coveting, Jewboy, I could hear myself think so I could write out a decent response.

mburbank If you want to discuss dick sizes I think you're at the wrong board and certainly in the wrong forum. I'm sure a quick google search will allow you to find all sorts of venues for like minded friends with whom to talk about male genetalia.

Thanks, though, for confirming my suspicion that the articles you post represent momentary spastic synaptic flashes and not any sort of coherent thouhgt process or worldview.

I think while it's possible you attended some sort of religous school and my even have sat in classes where others studied Catholascism, your mind was elsewhere. Possibly you were thinking of penises. I understand thats what drew a lot of our current preists to the church.
Apr 22nd, 2003 09:44 AM
AChimp I don't think so, Max. Those priestly types usually like sitting around for the whole debate and come in at the end and say, "HA!"

In regards to the old testament, a few of my friends and I got into a pretty lengthy e-mail war over Christianity (and why we didn't want our inboxes spammed with all the God crap). One of the people on the theist side stated quite matter-of-factly that "we don't follow everything in the Old Testament anymore."

I thought that was quite interesting, especially coming from a person who claimed to be as devout a Christian as they come, and thought I'd mention it here.
Apr 22nd, 2003 09:44 AM
VinceZeb My interest in this article is about the same size of the length of your dick, so yes, my interest in this article died off as soon as I hit send.
Apr 22nd, 2003 09:33 AM
mburbank Vince; Having posted this article, have you know desire at all to defend it? Did you interest die the moment you pushed the 'submit' button?

I would have thought a man who studied to be a Priest for two years might have something to offer the conversation.
Apr 21st, 2003 06:22 PM
The_Rorschach I would beg to differ there Proto. I used to think so too, but not anymore. Not for a few years now anyway, who knows, I could come full circle.

Jesus taught in parables, using stories to convey meanings, sometimes very deep meanings -but understanding was reserved for those who could pick up on innuendo. The OT is much the same, only those parables are historical accounts, and once you get a jist of the NT, you can almost see much of it to be foreshadowing. Some of it having already come to pass, other things yet distant.

The difference between the OT and NT is the difference between Judaism and Christianity. Judaism is about Justice, Christianity is about Mercy. They don't contradict one another, they complete each other. Like, here, you have a Bible I'm sure Proto, follow my reasoning for a moment.

Ezekial 3:1-3. Ezekial eats a book, the Book of the Damned, and he finds it sweet as honey to his lips right? The Book, contrast to the Book of Life which holds the names of all those who will be granted everlasting life, holds those who are sentenced to eternal damnation.
John, likewise, later eats the same book. Revelation 10:9. And at first he also finds it sweet, but then it turns bitter in his belly.

Does that make any sense? So yeah, I agree in as much as Christ wasn't a proponant of war on earth, but not in your take on the OT. It's all just information, raw data, that needs to be processed in order to have sense made of it. Reading the Bible without being a Christian is like reading hexidecimal display. Sure, its easy to understand superficially, but it lacks true depth.

waterwitch see? someone said he was a lunatic...explains it all...didn't you people notice that, or were you trying to hide it behind his religion?
Apr 21st, 2003 06:21 PM
sspadowsky It doesn't bother me that he's a Christian. It bothers me that he's a lunatic.

waterwitch ..does it matter what religion he is...? he's still a stupid moron and an idiot...i don't think his religious convictions are involved in that...much...

Protoclown I think a more appropriate question for Kelly to have asked (and quite possibly what he meant to ask) would have been "Is there any passage in the Bible where Jesus endorses war?"

Old Testament is all about death and destruction.
Apr 21st, 2003 05:55 PM
The_Rorschach "Can anyone find any passage in the Bible that actually endorses war?"

Yeah, just about everywhere in the Old Testament. Starting in Geneis when the Jews returned from bondage in Egypt to Canaan, God instructed them to wage not only war, but a genocidal campaign, against all of the inhabitants. Now, to Christians, this is somewhat understandable as those inhabitants were Nehphalim, and therefore abhorrations to the natural order of things. I doubt you would understand though -Not being pompous, simply understanding the Christian perspective tends to accept what God does even when it defies explaination. Not something a modern, critical mind often finds acceptable.

Let me see if I can try and explain anyway though.

One has to understand God does not love the world, John 3:16 is not what most people believe it is. The word translated 'World' is the greek word 'kosmos.' It signifies something like an order, a system. What the verse is saying is that God loved the world that He created, the original system He put in place before the the introduction of Sin. What exists now, and has as long as human history, is like a twisted, darkened version of His work and He has no trouble destroying it. All at once, as with the Flood, or a little at a time, as with Sodom and Gomorrah.

So yeah, is Bush a Christian? Well, only God can judge that.

Zosimus Being religious has never stopped any idiot from contributing to war. From the “mid-evil” crusading assholes, to modern day fanatics like Hitler, Saddam, OR Bush (‘s)!

There seems to be little difference in anyone’s agenda what goes for involving GOD in any war The only difference between all these dictators is what language they are speaking!
Any asshole that ever wanted power, either threatened people with his power of armies and weapons and/ or using religion to back themselves up (and to their benefit God has yet not been known to say “NO” to anyone!).

In cases of war and religion mixed, we have always been told to fight: “against the “evils” that threaten our nation” or be told that: “God wanted me to do this thing, in his name…” (Oh Please!! )

Now, even the money is under revision as to whether or not we should state: “One nation under ONE god” !! WTF is that?! And with that, abusing and taking God’s name in vain as well!! What a bad joke! (http://cobwebpublishing.com/soapbox/undergod.html)

Yes, our president is a Christian man indeed!! He has killed approximately between 1878-2325 civilians during his last little “Crusade” to Iraq. (http://www.iraqbodycount.net/) [Oh dear me…how stupid can I be? I forgot there is such a nice term for this: I think they called it: “Casualties of war.” ]

I have a REAL hard time forgiving someone for not “turning the other cheek” to an enemy from whom he only had something to gain from. But, with Bush, somehow we have ALL been forced to do just that!
Dear friends THAT is NOT good nor decent Christian behavior such as the bible has preached throughout decades! Nor, is it anything Jesus would have subscribed to!

It doesn't really bother me that he calls himself a Christian, but these days, there is is BIG difference between being a Christian and being a GOOD Christian! I don't think that little difference matters to Bush.

A friend of mine had this on her T-shirt: “What kind of bomb would Jesus drop?”
