doesn't matter - am not voting Romney OR Obama. In this state Obama wins hands down so my vote is pointless. So I'll be voting Ron Paul.

"Obama's approval ratings are so low, the Kenyans are accusing him of being born in the United States!"

Iamon lyme: I'll have to ponder that

Warning: Can cause severe headaches and challenge long held preconceptions.

Simpletons are strongly advised to avoid reading this book. No Free Lunch not only contradicts randomly assembled interrelated complexity, but liberal ideology as well. Be vigilantly intolerant of anything that appears to make sense and cause you to think... because thinking is overrated, and it may lead to cancer.

Where else would a bass poop?

Artful Dodger: [ Don't stay up too late lemon. I need my sleep! ]

You'll be fine tomorrow, don't sweat it... I'll drink lots of coffee tomorrow morning.

. Don't stay up too late lemon. I need my sleep!

When a bass poops in the lake, is that a bass turd?

Iamon lyme: lol

Iamon lyme:

Artful Dodger: lol Yeah, erosion will do that.

Iamon lyme: well maybe the wind blew just right

Bwild: the bible is a very consistent book and remember, the fragments and copies we have aren't "translations". Besides, a lot of consideration is taken to get at the contextual meaning. Still it's not perfect but overall the translations are good. Some better than others. Personally I use several versions but also do word studies.

rod03801: well I don't hold to the view that Creationists hold regarding creation etc.

rod03801: which version? lol

Artful Dodger: well makes as much sense as the bible tho.

Iamon lyme: Nope. That's just an excuse.

Stay gassy, my friend...

Iamon lyme: Oh, that one... you put that one up there. If you're a paying member can you delete your own post?

Artful Dodger: My dad is waiting until he turns 90 before having another birthday party. He's almost there. After that he wants to wait another decade before having another birthday party. I know the feeling, one birthday party after another after another... all that partying is exhausting, it can poop a guy out real quick. I'm not even close to 70 yet, and I know what he means.

Iamon lyme: I just put mine on the windowsill. Never on the roller.

Artful Dodger: [ Iamon lyme: root beer but also have gas. Not sure where that came from but likely the politics board ]

Oh yeah, this is the politics board. I should say something political. Ummm... the debates will start soon, sometime early in October. In other news, another long running debate is still going strong.

And going, and going, and going...

Iamon lyme:

And another clue. My father passed away years ago. Your dad is still kicking. Hmmmmm. Maybe we are two different people!

Artful Dodger: I'll put it into my photo album. In the meantime check this out. I'm going to send this one to my dad on his birthday.

Iamon lyme: lol I see a white dot on a dark background lol

Stay gassy, my friend...

Artful Dodger: Gas? Kind of tastes like rotten cherries...

Blaah!! patuie! Ack... blahpoo..

Iamon lyme: root beer but also have gas. Not sure where that came from but likely the politics board.

Artful Dodger: Ahhhhhh, okay! That makes sense! I had hot dogs and mashed potatos for dinner, but I couldn't understand where the pizza after taste was coming from.

Something else, tastes like Dr Pibb or Dr Pepper... it tastes like rotten cherries. Did you have a diet cola?

Iamon lyme: I just got back from eating pizza at our favorite pizza joint and see that you've posted three times while I was gone. Interesting. While I was gone. Now I know for sure I'm not you because I was not online during that same period! Whew! And here I was worried

The media savvy president of the Unite... of the Earth to Mars orbital launch pad!

Being impoverished doesn't mean you're poor.

A moment of comedic relief for president Obama.

Iamon lyme: lol

We want to be fair, so here are two reasons to vote for Obama.

Iamon lyme:

- In 2011, the Romneys paid $1,935,708 in taxes on $13,696,951 in mostly investment income.

- The Romneys’ effective tax rate for 2011 was 14.1%.

-The Romneys donated $4,020,772 to charity in 2011, amounting to nearly 30% of their income.

-The Romneys claimed a deduction for $2.25 million of those charitable contributions. The Romneys’ generous charitable donations in 2011 would have significantly reduced their tax obligation for the year. The Romneys thus limited their deduction of charitable contributions to conform to the Governor's statement in August, based upon the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13% in income taxes in each of the last 10 years.



Biden gave 300 dollars to charity

Though, considering the trainwreck otherwise known as the Romney campaign , I can understand the interest in discussing other topics

(V): [ You've decided your able to say who is and who isn't a Christian!!! ]

Where do I say that? You are playing with straw man dolls again. Man up, and play with real people for a change.

[ "True Christians are the first to regulate themselves, and to call fakers what they are." Isn't that what I'm doing? ]

No. Do you not know what you are doing? You said:

[ I just see the way they are doing it and understand that a good percentage of the money will never reach any 'causes'.. but will be spent on 'admin' costs. ]

[ It's all they want your money. They are even starting to use Glenn Beck style educating.. just a few pens and a white board though. With lovely scenes of Flames/Jerusalem/the cross all to show they are genuine ]

[ It's based on past events. It's also based on knowledge of certain charities in the past caught paying themselves a high wage. ]

You are saying (or implying) frauds and rip offs are the rule. I'm saying they are the exception. In what universe or parallel dimension is that saying the same thing?

So let's try this again...

[ "True Christians are the first to regulate themselves, and to call fakers what they are."

Isn't that what I'm doing? ]

Nope, sorry... the answer is still no.

Then you respond to something I say that answers your response before you responded...

[ "I'm not above using cliches. They have their purpose, but all the time and for every occasion? Are you kidding me?"

Then why do you and Art keep on using the same tired ones on liberals, etc all the time? ]

Because we are responding according to your own method of debate. Duh!

Is it unethical (or illegal) to do as you do? Is it do unto others better than they do unto you unless it is you who are doing the doing unto?

doo doo ka choo?
