SML, I think the correct term is sheople.

Wow G took you two whole paragraphs to say "Shit"

I could nit pick you about the basis for morals but I won't. But I can't agree more about the need for individual responsibility.

Oh and there is a lot more to the McDonalds thing than it appears. the fact is that McD's made it a company policy to serve their coffee at 180 degrees F. They would brew one charge of grounds 5-6 times and the only way to get any flavor out of it is to brew it at such high temps. And it was not their first complaint, more like 300th. Now was it dangerous for McD's to be serving something hot enough to cause instant 3rd degree burns to somebody driving a car, you decide. Not meaning to pick on you G, you just were the person who brought that little story to light and I wanted everybody to know the real story.

BUT I think the lawyers and juries who award Millions to people too stupid to get out of the way or follow directions should all be kneecapped. Then again when compaines make a conscious decision to gamble with people's health and safety, they should be held accountable.

Bleh... sorry for the tangent.

Food for thought: More evil things have been done in the name of God than in the name of evil

At the risk of starting another bon fire, let me just say this. Its that kind of thinking that precludes the application of common sense to our justice system and gives you things like a three strikes law,a good idea, renedered completely absurd by the fact that 4 individuals are now serving 25 years to life cuz their third crime was jay-walking. Its also the kind of thinking that freed OJ. I don't care if they brewed the shit to shoot flames out of the top of the cup, coffee=hot if you can't drive without spilling it on yourself then A. stay at home or B. go to Starbucks and get frappuccino. Don't make me have to pay 7.50 for a f*&^&( Big Mac to cover your restitution. COFFEE HOT....HOT PAIN.....PAIN BAD

Now, about the nit picking, grease yourself up, I'm going to get the feathers.

Jes, the completely exhausted of daily supply of sagacity now stooping to the usual caustic sarcasm.

Thought, God is in the minds of men not men in the mind of God.

[SilverMoonLady]

Now that's a tricksy one
I'm an anthropologist by vocation, so I'll keep my dissertative self off the origin of spiritual paths... Nothing starts a bonfire like an objective opinion of the least objective subject
If in doubt, see previous page....

[ghettoelleth]

see now, that was taken totally wrong and I figured someone would do that. Whether an entity, an idea, an ideal, whatever you believe, he wasn't there in the room now, was he? I want photographic proof or thats just called psychosis.

[SilverMoonLady]

I'm sorry, ducks, didn't mean to appear to take it wrong... which I didn't think I had... Just meant that me expounding on my interpretation of the broad spectrum of beliefs out there wasn't going to do anything but set *somebody* off... Because in essence, darling, I think you are right when you say that God is in men's minds not the other way around. Everybody's interpretation is just that: an interpretation. And I've met some pretty darn intelligent folks I love dearly who refuse to accept that if their book is valid, so is the centuries old oral tradition of the aborigines.
*shrug*
I just don't want anybody to be peeved over something that most cannot discuss rationally.

That means there's hope that we'll really find where the evles are hiding too. now that my dear is a beacon of hope in a weary (yeah, weary was the word I was going for, really...)world,

[SilverMoonLady]

I am the daughter of the man from Atlantis, and I believe in Avalon ... Well, ok, so I'm a little too poetical for reality, but you get the idea.



though Daddy's boat really was called Atlantis...

Unfortunately common sense ain't that common.

That was just one incident G. Oh don't get me wrong, I know more lawyer jokes than any white man has a need to. But I won't get on lawyers, lots do a good job in a necessary service, but there are those who give the rest of them a bad name, like some other things more appropriate to this thread.

Oh this would be a really good place for a long nasty diatribe but I won't, too close to bed time.

*grabbin' Shan in a headlock and rubbing the top of her head to sooth her before giving her the prozac binky*

Now that's the kind of person I wanna be, the one who reads a thread like this and gets pissed off cuz you dissed Avalon, Ohio. I wanna be Shan when I grow up.

[SilverMoonLady]

[Shanalir]

I wasn't exactly pissed, Ghetto, more like curious. Thanks for the compliment, though
And there is a place in South Africa named Atlantis and one in Florida, besides the legendary underwater ruins. More on Avalon, there are two in Australia, more in the US (Missouri, Mississippi, Wisconsin and Georgia), Canada, France, and New Zealand. (I think I'll stop for now)
