“I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way: The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear, fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear.”- Edgar A. Guest. "I'D Rather See A Sermon by BRUCE CARROLL I'd see him go to church almost every Sunday He had invited me to go a time or two made no bones about the fact that he was a Christian And he seemed to know I was looking for some truth Never looked at me with eyes of condemnation though he knew I was uneasy when he pray he was always there to lend a hand and when he did he'd always say that the good Lord and his blessing are what made him act that way I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one anyday I'd rather one would walk with me than merely show the way Actions speak much louder than all the words can say That's why I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday There were times that I would see him from a distance and he didn't know that I was watching him he always took the time to love his children and he treated his wife like his best friend I got the call two weeks ago this Monday that the job I had ten years was at the end he was the first to call and show up on my doorstep and he said that he would be there till we got on our feet again I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one anyday I'd rather one would walk with me than merely show the way Actions speak much louder than all the words can say That's why I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday I never was much for religion too many double-standard people let me down but the message this man lived was very simple he showed me what I needed and he was there when I let Jesus turn my life around I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one anyday I'd rather one would walk with me than merely show the way Actions speak much louder than all the words can say That's why I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday That's why I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday"

And Frasier's had, like, a 10-year run, and I commented this show lasted a lot longer. SNL's had more than 25 years in its run so far.... Go, Raf!

Gotta be, and is.

Depends on how good you think Photobucket and Imageshack are. I know I didn't have to download or pay anything to use either. Probably depends on what you want to host. An avatar would be a piece of cake, but, say, an entire comic-book might be too much for free.

Nothing with such a short tv run..... I wish some other posters would check in. I'm sure a number of them could name this by now if they read the quotes....

So far, we've gotten farther than I expected. Some people are willing to discuss this, but there's a lot of dogmatism on both sides, so some posters may not be participating intellectually to the same degree as the others, relying more on knee-jerk reactions than actual discussion. Now, one thing that's come up, which I think many of us can agree on, is that both sides have some merit, and make some good points, and likewise are unable to refute well certain other points. Thus, I have arrived at a position guaranteed to tick off both sides. When seeking understanding of something, one rule of thumb is Ockham's Razor. It's a tool for eliminating incorrect possibilities. The main part of the rule states that when two or more explanations fully explain something, the simpler one is the correct answer. That's sufficient for most situations. There's another part to that, however. When two or more explanations explain something, but none of them FULLY explain it, then NONE of them are correct, and the correct answer is still missing. Having seen both sides offer their explanations over the years, I personally will apply Ockham's Razor to this, and say that it is my informed opinion that NEITHER side is ENTIRELY correct, and the TRUE answer is something else, a third option which might be considered "in between", or might not. (I've reviewed the other positions I've seen as well, and find they are less able to explain fully than the 2 positions we're discussing.) So, it is my informed opinion that I don't know the answer, but it's not one of the answers currently being offered. Told you I'd tick off everybody at the same time....

Ok, let's see.... "...the sound a dog makes." "Um............who is John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, thankyouverymuch, I'll take Animal Sounds for $800 please!" "No! Good Lord! We would've accepted 'bow-wow' or 'ruff'!" "Ah, ruff. Just the way your mother likes it!" "the category was Numbers, and you wrote.. ..a letter V. Well, I tell you what, my friend - V is a Roman numeral, so despite your best efforts, you answered correctly." "Outer Space: The Last Frontier. These are the trips of the Star Trek Enterprise. Its five year plan calls for us to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly fly where no man has gone in space. Live long, and be happy." "We're very busy right now! If you haven't heard, Voldemort has returned and is trying to recruit the Dementors to take over Hogwarts!" "Hey, Potter, cool it with the nerd stuff. Shut up." "Listen, we got a place off campus and a mini-fridge filled with butterbeer." "I'm sorry boys, we can't waste time. We'll celebrate after we defeat Voldemort." "What a tease." ""Hey! Who's that Spartan doin' some Tai Chi?" "It's me! It's me!" ""I said who's that Spartan doin' some Tai Chi?" "It's me! It's me!" "I deserve good things. I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am attractive person. I am fun to be with." "I'm going to do a terrific show today! And I'm gonna help people! Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!" "Well, I can tell by the empty bottle of Courvoisier that it is time to say goodnight."

It is. You forgot a lot of the episode. The enterprise went to "ANGEL ONE" (the planet, in the episode) to find survivors of the SS Odin. Meanwhile, an illness swept thru the Enterprise, and Beverly had to find a cure. And the Enterprise needed to go to the Neutral Zone as a show of force. It's your turn anyway. Do you want to hold off for a time, since our player-numbers have dwindled?

Harry Potter is not a TV show. That quote was not from any HP movie nor book. Nor has JK Rowling authorized any TV show appearances of any of the characters. (To the best of my knowledge.) All of those quotes, however, ARE quotes from a TV show- if not from the same EPISODE.

Ok, let's see.... "...the sound a dog makes." "Um............who is John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, thankyouverymuch, I'll take Animal Sounds for $800 please!" "No! Good Lord!

"Where're you boys off to?" "Skiing, sir. Our instructor has us scheduled for the Swiss Alps, sir." "Save us some deep powder." "No problem, sir. The Holodeck has all you'll ever need." "..Searching the galaxy for survivors seems a petty task for one of their mighty vessels." "We don't consider even one survivor petty." "Is this man suggesting that we place a lesser value on life than you do?" "Not at all." "Are we to take these strangers at their word?" "A good question." "What reason could we possibly have to deceive you?" "Another good question." "I can't smell anything. I'm a little congested..." "Don't let this 'just happen' again, Mister Crusher." "Yes, sir!!" "Mister Data will need access to your library." "Our library is far too sophisticated for a man to comprehend." "I am an android, Mistress, though anatomically, I am a fully functioning male." "You're going to have to get the Enterprise to the Neutral Zone before it's too late." "To be precise, Commander, you ordered me to reach the Neutral Zone 'before it is too late.' I have computed the length of time the border outpost and USS Berlin can safely withstand a Romulan attack... deducted our time to destination at maximum warp speed. That leaves Doctor Crusher with forty-eight more minutes..." "Splitting hairs is a figure of speech I recognize, Commander. Speaking for those whose hair is soon to be split, forty-eight minutes may make a great deal of difference. Excuse me -- forty-seven minutes." "Bingo? I fail to see the relevance, Doctor. Is that not a reference to an ancient Earth game?" (And there's one of the famous "47s" which began appearing in scripts after the original series and the cartoon.) "I think I may sneeze." "A Klingon sneeze?" "Only kind I know."

That's odd- one of the last quotes I posted was what I thought gave it away, if you read it slower and ask the obvious questions. Apparently, I may be wrong.

News to me. Let's see them try to ENFORCE this one. They can't stop JAYWALKING.

Hm. If that's Peter TORK, this is "the Monkees."

I believe you are correct. No, this is not that episode. Although I think that's an awfully vague name to give to an episode, don't you?

No, Macbeth II: Banquo's Revenge.

A) Looks like "the purpose of his post" is to get a copy of the book "One God & One Lord that CES put out, without giving CES $29 directly. I may be wrong, but that seems pretty straightforward. B) If you're having nausea, there are a number of rather effective remedies on the market now besides Dramamine, and your local pharmacy should be able to supply you with one or more. C) He doesn't owe you an explanation of why he wants the book or why he doesn't want to give them money. And he never said he "trusted CES with the Word." He said he wanted that book. He never said WHY he wanted it or how he considers it. If you don't think that's enough of an answer to help him, then don't help him. Curl your lip in disdain, don't waste time posting, and just go on to the next thread. I find posts like this distasteful and religiously nauseating. Good thing I already went to my local pharmacy and stocked up on useful supplies.

This sounds like it might come in handy. Hello, Newcomer. You do realize that if you stick around, you'll no longer be new and we'll have to call you something else? :)

I still say "follow the money." The economy of the "slave states" was tied up in plantations-meaning it was based on the cheap labour of SLAVES. Freeing slaves means the plantation owner has less money. I doubt most of them were idealogically-enlightened enough to voluntarily free their slaves at the cost of making a lot less money. Of course, any plantation owner COULD free any slave on his plantation- or all of them. Yet slavery continued as an institution. Forgive my cynicism, but I think the PRIMARY reason for the Civil War was the secession of the Confederate States, and the PRIMARY reason for their secession was their ownership of slaves-which they wished to continue, and the PRIMARY reason for that was money. I stress PRIMARY because I believe that people who do not wield the power and have a vested interest in something can be tricked into supporting it against their own self-interest, if they are given a compelling sales pitch that gives them entirely unrelated reasons to support it. So, you have people who don't own slaves, who are told up and down "it's about states' rights!", and if they're told this enough times, they will say "this is all about states' rights", and they will support slavery almost accidentaly, in their attempt to support states' rights... which is what the slave-owners wanted, and THEY don't care about the non-slaveowners so long as they do what they're told.
