Seems to me, given how much his teachings are disregarded, some Christians don't either.

Actually, I believe she killed someone in a car. Which is an attack, isn't it?

So, again, you are resorting to guilt by association. The two degrees of separation argument is exactly what you have been doing to me, but with respect to Robert Byrd, notwithstanding that I have never once said anything that could be favorably disposed toward Byrd.

Now, let's examine your substantive point here. You are asserting that it was wrong of the US to return Elian to Cuba. Is that an absolute wrong or a relative wrong?

1. If it makes you happy to think that I dislike you and think you are a racist, like Democratic Party Leader Byrd, that's fine. I will stipulate to that for you. I don't think it is what I really believe but you and Sidd want it to be so so badly that it's easier to stipulate than engage in this stupidity.

2. Absolute.

Wow, thanks for the great advice, Hank!

I be sure to leave the such things to old skoolers like Paigow (Paigow's old skool?).

I understand my responsibilities as prince consort. I made my message confidential to Sidd. The fact that you and/or penske read it is a shocking (Shocking!) violation of the sanctity of the small italic type message. I feel like Phillip after the whole cell phone debacle.

The whole "confidential" post style is tired- and doubly so the "why did you read what I posted confidentially?"

Are you aiming to be a minor league Atticus?

Next time anyone calls Penske out for calling us, individually, baby killers, racists, or some such other shit, he'll attack us for poor reading skills. But when he gets tagged with a pure-ty fuckup in this regard, he freaks and goes all Kevin Bacon.

Isn't Bacon a democrat? You should be happy I am giving him tacit props.

Some of my in-laws don't like that I'm not a Jew. When they come near me, so I worry they might blow us both up?

[Penske]'s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

You are a jack arse. Read your post and honestly assess the maturity level of the person who wrote. I give you the benefit of doubt of assuming you are bitter and you're projecting. If not, you have the maturity level of 8 year old. And to say reading the posts on an internet chatboard can give you stress is indicative of other psychoses I don't feel the need to dwell on. If you're serious, get help.

Actually, we don't want you to stipulate to it. We want you to stop it.

Okay, if it was an absolute wrong for the US to return Elian to Cuba, then parents must not have any right to raise their children as they see fit?

I thought we were all god's children, no? Why exclude Mohammed? Unless he was SAtan's spawn, yes?

Are they from Oklahoma? Because that's where all the terrorists seem to come from.

Okay, so you believe that what God declares to be wrong is an absolute wrong. Can I then assume you are opposed to the war in Iraq?

No.

I don't tend to believe that someone's religion has anything to do with whether or not they are prone to throw bombs. It's the sort of activity that people of all faiths take part in.

But just in case, I would think about getting circumcised if you aren't already. And knock it off with the matzo brei mishegas, already, ngu?

Can't we all just get along?

2. The confidential post thing was why justice.com invented email for GA posters back in 2001. How lame to be living 4 years behind the curve.

I believe that the statement that we are all God's children is a metaphor. But if you aren't taking it as a meatphor, then I would have to reply that God has chosen many imperfect prophets. Augustine... Moses... Perhaps he's just more forgiving than some of us here on Earth?
