I found the religious segment of that article to border on oxymoronicity... but the rest was good. ~Dan

I think "What About Bob" belongs in there. Bill Murray.. wow. Favorite lines: "DOCTOR LEO MARVIN!" "Bob, where did you put that dynamite that I put around your neck?" "In the house." *huge explosion* and Finding Nemo just for this one line: "And I will call him squishy and he will be mine and he will be my squishy." What an awesome thing to say! and Airplane II: "Have you ever seen a grown man... naked?" and Airplane I:<B
Matthew 21:42 The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Actually, i am a public schooler... and Trin, don't take it pesonally. The reason I go to public school is that my quest is to understand people, and immersing myself in impersonal subjects just plain won't take me there. ~Dan
lol very nice ~Dan
I go to strip clubs all the time. Not. ~Dan
I'd just like to say that I dislike church most of the time too. I dunno if I hate it, but give me another decade and then maybe. I don't think church is what it should be... sry for that, bud. ~Dan
Thanks Nicky, we appreciate you too:) ~Dan
Ben Folds.. good stuff. ~Dan
I feel this funny sense of deja vu... no clue why. ~Dan
I'm a junior guy, 17 yrs old, love playing piano and guitar (hmm this sounds familiar, doesn't it). I'm a strong Christian, and I'm completely in love with the very concept of life. Enough for now. ~Dan
overachievers... lol ~Dan
It's a lose-lose situation, isn't it. You're gay and alone because there just aren't a lot of gay people... but when you're straight and alone you feel like even more of a loser because you have such a huge dating pool. Sorry bud, I hate being alone too. Keep writing. ~Dan
Trust Mugzy to come up with the right response. Yes, I agree, good job muggaz. No. Muggaz is bad. :( Just kidding, just wanted to introduce a new idea... ~Dan
Well written. ~Dan
Excellent quote, One Man. The reason bad things happen is because of free will. It's our fault, not God's, and if he fixed it then our existance would be meaningless. That also ties in with the future: the future is predetermined, but since we don't know our future, it might as well not be. Whatever I type was already preordained, but since I didn't know what my destiny was to type, there's no practical difference between reality and true free will. Those of a philosophical mind will unders
I think that sometimes technology makes us forget that there's still work that has to be done manually. ~Dan
The issue is one of free will. The reason not everybody believes in God (He could easily make himself known in some fashion that could not be denied) is that if we were all robots that He controlled, and love for him would only be self-gratifying. It's like the difference between masturbation and sex... part of the fun of sex is that somebody is, of their own volition, doing it with you. If you want to ask questions, I'm pretty well-read on these issues... so go ahead and ask and I'll do my b
In the end, the pretty girls who messed around end up with the mediocre guys who have no future. Being a girl worthy of respect is an investment towards the future, and I really do believe that. Each person's present is simple the result of an equation which is compiled from your past, each term having the inverse coefficent of time (i.e. situations generally don't effect you as much as time passes), and more terms being added on every moment. That could be a huge topic in itself, but
I can see that you're one of those types that underestimates the sentimental value of mutant teddy bears. ~Dan
*pretending like I know what she's talking about* Oh, I'm sorry. I hope you, umm, find it. ~Dan
See KarmaGirls comment. Quite important. But while we're on the subject... "and failing to give adequate space to an emergency vehicle?" Doesn't that seem a little extraneous given the primary charges? Court, 1850: "You are hereby judged guilty on two counts of manslaughter." Court, 2004: "You are hereby judged guilty on two counts of manslaugter and one count of wearing fuzzy slippers after hours." Good heavens. ~Dan
I think I'll write a blog on that, Sphere. Thanks. ~Dan
People keep saying that since this is a privately owned site it's not a matter of speech. That's true legally, but Brad is an ethical person and he runs his site according to ethics as well as legalities. And ethics allow for views that don't necessarily coincide. ~Dan
..hmm... I think I've ticked someone off... ~Dan
It scares me when I relate to stories like that. It really does. ~Dan
