Now that was much, much better.

It was subtle; it was humorous; and it was just enough, not too much.

KUDOS to you too, Snood. :wink:

Where you say that you would bend the truth? Man, if you don't listen to yourself, how can I believe that you'll listen to anyone else?

One human is not evil. Put ten of them together, and the case is another.

But I propose a new plan, or more accurately, a reversion to an older one. If I don't like what you say I'll just kill you. How's that for argumentation techniques? Survival of the fittest is the only law. All others are just wishful thinking. They can all be broken.

If the main purpose of this exercise is to throw crap at eachother I have misunderstood. Sorry. Just let me get my gloves on... Smile

Frank, unbeknownst to you you have been fighting it for some time. If you are not putting on your gasmask until now you might already be permanently damaged.

Popcorn/pecan clusters bound with caramel. I'm not actually eating it, I'm diabetic, but 'poppycock' is also slang for nonsence, hokum, bullshit. Smile

Hokum, nonsense, bullshit, fol-de-rol, inanity, horse feathers, tripe, malarkey, blarney, crap, crud, rubbish, ...

Everybody's a little guilty, I'd venture.

I don't know how much chaos my opinion about religion would create, but i'd like to express it anyway. These thoughts could very well be my confusion toward spirituality, but they are still my thought.

I just think that Islam died when Prophet mohammed died, Christianity died when Paul took over the affair of Jesus Christ, and Moses just happened to end up in the wrong place. He really should have landed a bit further on any significant oil reserve. Then all they had to do was to hold on to the land until British would have discovered the oil Smile

I think the world would have been a more peaceful place then now Twisted Evil


Are you an antagonist, destructionist or fatalist?

Neither of them, just a free man who wishes peace and prosperity for all. Personally, I am just so disappointed by established religions that I feel I can do without it. Don't want to wage war against it neither. Dude like spendius, I can only listen, without analyzing him/her between my ears, and let it go from the other ear.

Incorrect Frank I'm afraid:-

The simple fact is that everything that's happening there is unbeknownst to you.Everything of consequence I mean..
It would be reasonable to go on a philosophy debate forum to try to put that right but the way things are that looks a forlorn hope.You are set in your ways goodstyle.There isn't a philosophical cell in your constitution.All golfers are like that.Have you never wondered why you play golf.What forces have conspired to bring you to the point of getting a pleasure tweak out of holing a four foot putt.Golf,and many other things,are set up to supply the demand for escape from self examination and thinking.On a golf course or on a dirt-bike the patient is to all intents and purposes brain dead.Not a dissimilar state to that of a dung beetle rolling a ball of **** around.If you observe top golfers being interviewed you ought to be able to notice the number of repititions of the personal pronoun.Golf and dirt-bike riding are just two of the myriad of variants on the conspicuous consumption jag.Why do you search out methods of arranging invidious comparisons with your fellows.Yeah-well-I know.Its the American way.It might make you powerful and all that but by heck it is boring.I'd lay a shade of odds that you polish your car and keep the chromium gleaming enough for you to see your reflection in it.The oddest thing is that you seem to actually believe that your assertion with which you responded to Cyr. has some meaning and provides a satisfactory answer.
It's only use is to give us all a fix on your IQ.

Frank:-

There nothing to medicate about.It's elementary.

It insults your readers to provide such answers.Underestimates them is better.Why don't you take your own advice.

Read you last rant, Spendius...and then try to understand why I damn near spit my orange juice all over the keyboard when I read the "It insults your readers..."

Give a guy some warning when you are gonna say something that funny, will ya!
