Awww, come on ckmckmckmc, don't leave yet. You still haven't told us about the time you read my web site and found it biased in favor of my website!

Yes, kmc, do tell. What do you think ck is right about? Please elaborate. Details would be nice. Because me, I think ck's posts demonstrate an utter lack of critical thinking skills, not too mention poor communication skills in general. I question his literacy, truth be told. Maybe you see something I don't, so please, enlighten me.

I keep thinking "The Clockwork Orange," but the name of the movie is A Clockwork Orange, not THE. Right track?

Because that would be silly, Goey.

Yeah, my website is stupid, ck. I agree. You're right. How could I not have seen it sooner? If you'd like to stick your opinion where the sun doesn't shine, who am I to argue with you? So, when the Bible says that TO US there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, you have a problem with that, don't you, because you want Wierwille as your Lord, too, right? No man can serve two masters, ck. You clearly love the one, and thus demonstrate that you hate the other.

I agree, ck, it is simple.

Unintentionally, no doubt. People like this are only funny by accident.

Ooh, here's another dictionary definition: idolatry (noun): Fascinating, what you can learn in a dictionary.

stupid: (adj) the things stupid people does and says. (definition taken from Gump's First World Dictionary).

Fur Rum Hair Tweety Heron E.T. Say it fast.

Was Moses an apostle? He brought new light to a generation. Jonah? Nehemiah? How about Noah? Talk about new light! I could say an apostle is someone who speaks for God, and every example of an apostle would support that "definition." Just because you can show that the definition fits, doesn't mean that's the definition of the word. An apostle is a sent one, as Mark pointed out. That's the simple meaning of the word. Wierwille pointed out something apostles seem to have in common. Bully for him, but that doesn't define an apostle.

That goes into the Movie Pictionary Hall of Fame.

Going overlong on a teaching is not a sin. Comparing it to the worst deeds of VPW and LCM against the church entrusted to them is apologetic hypocrisy.

Won't have time to post. Go ahead.

Hint one: There's more than one bee. Hint two: say the last guess real fast, remembering hint one.

Good luck with your web-site, ck. I'm sure it will be fascinating.

I love the idea of speaking only in English, but it's screwing with my relocation and travel plans. I think I'm going to move from Flowery to The Angels, if I can get a job there. Of course, the state of Mountains is also pretty good. I don't know. So many choices of places to live and visit: The Pass, Snowy (good gambling there), maybe even St. Francis.

Raf won't post another pictionary for another few days.

It could be that. And yes, I was kidding. Paul Reubens is Pee Wee Herman (for those who don't know). And I came up with "shoe-sole scene" about a quarter-second before I wrote it.

This will help you visualize the rant better (thank you imdb.com) Juror #10: I don't understand you people! I mean all these picky little points you keep bringing up. They don't mean nothin'. You saw this kid just like I did. You're not gonna tell me you believe that phony story about losing the knife, and that business about being at the movies. Look, you know how these people lie! It's born in them! I mean what the heck? I don't even have to tell you. They don't know what the truth is! And, lemme tell you, they don't need any real big reason to kill someone, either! No sir! [Five gets up from his seat] Juror #10: You know, they get drunk... oh, they're very big drinkers, all of 'em, and bang: someone's lyin' in the gutter. Oh, nobody's blaming them for it. That's how they are! By nature! You know what I mean? VIOLENT! [Nine rises and crosses to the window] Juror #10: Human life don't mean as much to them as it does to us! [Eleven gets up and walks to the other window] Juror #10: Hey! Where are you going? (Beginning to sound desperate.) Look, these people're lushing it up and fighting all the time and if somebody gets killed, so somebody gets killed! They don't care! Oh, sure, there are some good things about 'em, too. Look, I'm the first one to say that. [Eight gets up and walks to the nearest wall] Juror #10: I've known a couple who were OK, but that's the exception, y'know what I mean? [Two and Six get up from the table. Everyone's back is to Ten] Juror #10: Most of 'em, it's like they have no feelings! They can do anything! What's goin' on here? I'm trying to tell you we're makin' a big mistake, you people! This kid's a liar! I know it. I know all about them! I mean, what's happenin' here? I'm speaking my piece, and you... [the Foreman gets up and walks away. So does Twelve] Juror #10: Listen to me! They're no good! There's not a one of 'em who's any good! [seven turns away] Juror #10: Boy, are you smart! Well, I'm tellin' 'ya we better watch out! This kid on trial here, his type... Well, don't you know about them? [Three turns his back] Juror #10: What are you doin'? Listen to me! I'm tryin' to tell you somethin'! There's a danger here! These people are wild! Don't you know about it? LISTEN TO ME! LISTEN! Juror #4: I have. Now sit down and don't open your mouth again.

The rant was against Puerto Ricans, and as he was ranting, one by one the jurors (all white men) stood up and turned their backs on him. I was so impressed that such a message was sent so powerfully in 1957 that I actually cried watching it (for the first time last weekend).

Silly. Its Moms Stirs Ink. Don't you watch movies? This was an indie film starring Gerard Depardieu, Emmy Rossum and Paul Reubens. Very interesting, especially the shoe-sole scene.

TWI never had 100,000 people. They never even claimed that. They said 100,000 had taken PFAL. You can assume not everyone stayed.
