Boots, just go away please. I do not have the time or the inclination to explain yet again beyond this comment. I write articles as I SEE them (kind of like MY OPINIONS ), and if there is anything in your quote (or the whole article or any other one I wrote TELLING you or anybody else what the truth was … please point out <span styl
[quote]Some believe, others don't, I fall in the believers side. Why? Maybe because I don't see how such a thing can be lied about at a time when everyone was watching everyone and I just don't see why anyone would lie about such a thing while the rest of the world simply sits there and accepts it. Besides, The Mythbusters[/quote] I NEED to think along these same lines too (for sanities sake)... but</s
Charles, I have no idea (provable) at all why these buildings did what they did, but that doesn't preclude me from searching for things that I can sink my teeth into. There is no doubt that the design of the buildings was faulty from the perspective of making the buildings ‘collapsible proof’. These buildings were primarily designed to maximum usable floor space … at the expens
Boots, I would guess THAT YOU will not be having much to say here because I WILL NOT accept your presumptions of my acknowledgments … because I mad absolutely NONE ! Seemingly you take exception to this THEORY (9/11) and that is just fine, but save your sarcasm for someone who gives a shit. You are seemingly concerned with this nonsense eno
[quote]Basically I think our Gov't works the same way. Why create a cure (a solution) for a problem and eliminate your usefulness when you can create a treatment (a temporary solution) that will allow you to be needed again. Kinda like making a car that never breaks down therefor eliminating the need for high charging mechanics.[/quote] Couldn't have said it better. It is my WAG, but I am not sure there are that many different scenario
What are conspiracy theories and from whence do they come? My Father was quite (?) intelligent (in a drunken sort of stupor) always answering the most questions on Jeopardy and such … but he went to the grave with the firm belief that we never landed on the moon …. There were NO arguments or ‘proof’ that he would accept … and I just could not unde
Humm, what can I possibly say that I will not be accosted for some sort of heresy or another? I have not found anything yet. Simply put, I do not believe in god and you do . You see none this nonsense means anything to me … but it means everything to you . All I want is some common ground so to speak where I actually have
[quote]Now if you want to talk about infanticide (I DO NOT), I do not think you or I will have any disagreements here whatsoever (strange huh) … Right OR wrong absolutely applies here . As far as the middle ground here...you've pegged it exactly.... there is none, none whatsoever . That on infanticide we have no disagreement
It just doesn't seem to register and there doesn't seem to be any way for me to explain it … which is strange since you know me so well . Obviously you do not … most obviously. And it is not for a failure on my part to tell you how I feel … it is from your inability to understand or seemingly even comprehend it regardless of what you claim. We have already established
[quote]Here's my two cents.[/quote] Thanks Tova7 I made some errors obviously, but there is one thing I have not figured out. And that is the exactitude people seem to insist on here (took me a bit to figure out JU, sorry). It is not just the religious side (mostly) ... but pretty much across the board. I am often told that “ Words have Meaning ” but never seemed to be i
Tova7, I will have to read your comment in the morning ... the following is for Lulu and friends. I am NEVER EVER talking about the perfectness of an ideology that can do or say no wrong (by decree). What in the world can I rebut with? You have predetermined the right and wrong of it … and that is it. So I stay outside this environment at all costs
Since it is obvious that you are going to keep playing this game (is this crap fun for you?), this is going to be my standard response to your nonsense until you get tired and leave me alone. If you read it a few hundred times, you might, just might comprehend something in it. Now I have something I can post as necessary instead of trying to repeat everything over and over and over. I do not know how you keep up with <span style="t
[quote]Atheists don't have 4 walls and a ceiling and they aren't tax exempt. The belief in Satan is a religion. The disbelief in Satan isn't.[/quote] Infidil … you get my vote here … No satan = no religion = ME Let's see if I that actual atheist can confuse this even more. A Christian is someone whose religion is Christianity whereas an atheist is somebody who does not b
[quote]I'm posting on your blogs aren't I? I've always thought dialogue is fine even if the focus is on differences. I'll discuss as long as the discussion remains civil.[/quote] No Lulu, it is NOT that simple, I posted this somewhere ... but It summs it up for ME perfectly. Nothing wrong with differences, the spice of life ... but you always want ME to argue against god's word ... what can I possibly say??? I am NEVER
I thought we were making progress, sorry … but I am glad things are mostly civil. Maybe if you told me what you expect of me knowing what you do? … because you sure got me by the shorthairs … I do not understand why YOU do not understand ME ? You obviously do not respect me, nor does it appear you agree with anyt
[quote]On what grounds do you accept a middle between right and wrong, between good and bad, correct or not correct, true or not true? It seems to me a middle on any of these would bring confusion and chaos[/quote] I cautioned you about extremes, above , I am not sure I need any grounds here but... If someone believes in a higher 'calling' of which they vow absolute faith in (understand) ... I could understand a fairly strict true / false philosophy.
Charles, this is pretty standard thinking today, unless of course you are one of those extremists ... which I do not think applies to either of us (overall). I have been disheartened with religious doctrine (and all) for some time now ... I considered myself an agnostic preferring to divorce myself from it while I decided things for myself . Late last year, I decided to look in de
CHARLES, I see it is possible to be civil … so I will try to return the favor. For the most part, I agree with your “observations”, but I will add my 2 cents for whatever it is worth to you. Anger is a sign of ignorance and usually surfaces because of one’s own frustrations at communications. It does not take a rocket scientist or a zealot of any kind to understand the difference between right and wrong, good or
[quote]Sorry but I can't help picking on this one particular paragraph of yours. Please, oh please do tell how you can prove your beliefs, that there is no God . Please keep in mind that the absence of something does not prove it does not exist.[/quote] You see, this one is quite simple ... I do not believe in god ... so I have nothing at all to prove here to you or anybody else. I suppose I could make the argument that
[quote]Becasue on a given subject, right or wrong, good or bad, correct or not, and true or not true are realities of life. Realities of life goes to truth which is neither yours nor mine but is consistent[/quote] I cautioned you about extremes, but it doesn’t really matter here. It is so seemingly easy, to place EVERYTHING in the category of right or wrong … but in “our” reality too many things fall into the infamous “<span style="text-decoration:
My goodness Lulu … this is much better. Please try to be careful with extremes though. It was not my attempt to imply that differences were unnecessary as I do not believe that is even possible. What I was trying to say was that it is ALWAYS the extremist in the indiscriminate list (<span styl
[quote]What a joke.[/quote] Agreed ... can we proceed to something meaningful now … please ? Well, since you are such a proponent of the "Big Bang Theory", maybe you should have told me all about it as it is so in line with my article instead of asking me about it ... I am always open to new information to ref
From Lulu with love and affection, the bearer of the truth, hehehe: Right. [quote]What do you mean Charles refused to comment on your articles? Read #1 comment again. The truth is he did a good job commenting on your article.[/quote] Neither you nor Charles read my article (at least for content), nay, you still cannot get over the title of “ What is the truth ” which no longer reflects the content (<span style="te
None of the bigotry of either side (can there really only be TWO ?) can change the realities of life or the events that transpire therein. Take my word for it ; do not try to confuse anyone here with the word TRUTH because you will then discover one of the most inappropriately used wor
This is a mindboggling concept for me, on every level I can think of. The problem here is that people want to bastardize the concepts of self-preservation and a need for actual real security with some sinister plot to deprive those who would do us harm of their
