has someone started a christmas card exchange list yet for this year?
we did this in the past and it was such fun to get all the great cards.. .
Dear Ian such a great idea I have gotten a couple of ecards that are gorgeous, I will be sending you my email address.
Annie take care of yourself and have fun with the cards thats what they are for, not to burden you or anyone else. the bunch here at JWD seem to get the meaning of that
A veryniceguy, I suspect we don't have that much spirit here at jwd, but we'll all wish you a merry christmas anyway. but then ya never know let me know how the money plea goes.

Hi all I felt like I fell off the face of the earth! I been with out internet for two or three days now! I was okay but my teenager is going through withdrawls!
I should have thought of this before, but my grandma is such a sweet and loving person, all of her children and grand-children, with the exception of a few are all JW's, my grandma is catholic, christmas at her house is always soo sad because there are only a few of us there, Would it be ok if I added her name to the list for anyone who would care to send her a christmas card, I can't begin to express how much it would mean to her to, for once fill up the back of her front door with christmas cards.
I will happily send your grandmother a card Andre, thats the reason for them IMO is to brighten lives and make people happy!
My 19 year old son who is rarely impressed has actually taken an interest in where the cards are from and checks them out!
My daughter and grandaughter love them! So much fun! and lovely cards.
Oh Thanks Dinah, Cause I sure wasn't gonna ask Vivamus how that would break those boots in.
Avishai if you do wear the boots to that song from the utube link, and do that dance.... would you pleasee film and post?? think of it as an audition adoring fans could constructively advise you, on which moves may of been the best for making the boots fit better.
as much as i hate to make a new topic for a low-life like you - you need to read this.. there are people in this world who are born to hate and to suck the life from others.. those people are the blood-sucking parasites that thrive on hurting, and abusing others.. those people are rapists, pedophiles and sadistic sociopaths without any moral fiber or conscience.. you are among that classification of sub-human vermin devoid of empathy love or compassion.. you can quit telling eryn to die already.
you can quit telling her that she can shoot herself in the head just because you are a friendless person without anyone to love them.. you are pathetic.
people like you disgust me.
People are ignorant, what does someone gain from doing something like that?
It's a cowardly way out to hide behind a screen and harass someone.
Avishai, shoe stores can stretch them, if you can still find one that does that! (we used to get them wet and wear them till they dried, but leather doesn't always do well with water and it will dye your socks)
i knew what i wrote and have written in the past would trigger a lot of different things in a lot of different people.
sometimes the hardest thing to accept is that what someone says is usually true, even if it's just for them.. as a person grows and learns, they draw conclusions about a great many things, from who god is to what kind of car is the best ever made.
it oversimplifies things, saying it like that, but at the same time, maybe it is perfect.
Dawg just so you know, I mean you no disrespect. There are times when a disaggreement can only be setteled by agreeing to disagree and going seperate ways on any subject.
It's the words we choose to write that sometimes could be re-thunk before they are typed and sent.
So I guess anything touchy or feely is out of the question then??

Dawg I so agree with these words. being a survivor of child molesting myself I always call a pervert a pervert.Did I miss something?? did WLG say something to the affects that this was about protecting pedophiles? cause if it is then whooo nelly!! I have worked for years protecting children, and women ... so maybe I better re-read this thread.
I wasn't referring to any particular argument I have read on the board, I was just typing that, I agreed with the way some arguing is done can be hateful, hurtful, rude, and things are said that would not be said if face to face. Which takes me back to something my brother always told me... "it is better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you're stupid than to open it and prove it".... <>That is strictly for me not saying anyone here is that way ) But we do have to express ourselves some how on the board. so whatever works for you/me/us is either cool or it isn't.
The above list was the instructors way of showing us we could "say anything" we wanted, but he also went on to say "that doesn't necessarily mean we should".

Below is a list of fallacies, arguments this post reminded of philosophy 101 so I had to look up the assignment.
btw, I for one agree with you WLG, it's the methods many choose to use that cause the most forum loss, that and some people can't stand to be wrong, or have others assume they are wrong.
1. Appeal to symbols (I wrap myself in the flag to demonstrate my patriotism).
2. Appeal to ignorance/unseen evidence (He's guilty because he had a gun we couldn't find).
3. Appeal to illogical premises (It's OK to cheat, everybody does it in this class).
4. Appeal to what's known (We know Germans like big cars, they make Mercedes).
5. Red herring (She's rich. Did you hear her children own big houses and boats).
6. Appeal to false authority (99% of family dentists say regular brushing is good; use Crest).
7. Ad hominem (attacks character) (Of course you support euthanasia, your parents are dead).
includes name calling: My opponent is a liar.
includes prejudice: Women just can't be good stock brokers.
includes guilt by association: She's a feminist so her ideas must be radical.
8. Straw person/straw man (You may think it's cheaper to cut trees to make sacks, but I don't).
9. Begging the question (We should not give high grades because they will reward poor students as well as good ones).
10. Complex questions (When did you stop speeding in your sports car?).
11. Oversimplification (Love it or leave it!).
12. Equivocation (He's so successful-successful had many meanings).
13. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc (After this, therefore because of that) /Correlation
(I ate pizza and got a stomach ache, so pizza must not be good for us)
14. Slippery slope (We don't dare provide more scholarships. We'll be supporting the whole country if we do).
15. Generalization (The taxes are much too high).
includes pars pro toto (assumes what is true for part is true for all: That banker didn't pay his taxes on time. Bankers don't pay their taxes on time.) includes the opposite of pars pro toto (contradicting evidence is withheld: He was told to pay a penalty for late taxes. But, he paid his taxes on time; the mail was late).
16. Faulty analogy (Well, the jet model worked in the wind tunnel, so that plane will fly).
17. Non sequitur (Pete likes to drink milk, so Jennifer is sure to like malts ).
18. Irrelevant reasons (I should not get below a B in this class because I worked hard).

Okay I'll quit after this one
Water vs. Wine In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have
demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the
end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of
Escherichia coli, (E. coli) bacteria found in feces. In other
words, we are consuming 1 kilo of Poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine (or rum,
whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a
purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to
drink water and be full of crap. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm
doing it as a public service

HOW MANY DOGS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB
ROTTWEILER: Just one. You want to make something of it?
DOBERMAN: Immediately decides to change the brand of light bulb and find a more efficient form of lighting -- perhaps a fluorescent bulb.
AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD: One, but just "try" to convince them that the burned-out bulb is useless and should be thrown away.
JACK RUSSELL TERRIER: Two, but the job never gets done -- they just keep arguing about who is supposed to do it and how it's supposed to be done!
BULLDOG: Just one. But it takes them three years to do it.
POMERANIANS don't change light bulbs, although sometimes their agent will get a German Shepherd in to do the job for them while they're out.
PUG: Er, two. Or maybe one. No -- on second thought, make that two. Is that OK with you?
GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out light bulb?
AFGHAN: Light bulb? What light bulb?
CAT: I don't waste my time with these childish jokes.

GOLDEN RETRIEVER: "I'll be glad to change the light bulb for you, but first can't we play catch with the tennis ball, or Frisbee -- and then I want to lick your face and rest my head in your lap and look up at you with my sad eyes. What, you're hanging the light bulb yourself -- you didn't have to do that -- but I looooove you so much for being my friend and doing that."

BORDER COLLIE: Just one. And he'll rewire the house while he's at it.
WOLFDOG: Let me see that light bulb, anyway. What's it made of, what's inside of it, what will happen if I drop it. I might change it, but let me think about it. You're not trying to tell me what to do, are you? Hey, I just had a great idea. I think I'll change that light bulb!
GERMAN SHEPHERD: "I'm kinda busy right now! I have to chase the cat, protect the kids, herd the horses, beg for food and take a nap. I'll add the light bulb to my "To Do" list...."
DACHSHUND: Well, first get me a ladder and a treat...... no, you took too long. I want TWO treats and I'll do it......... No, not that treat, the other kind. Geez.......... do I have to do everything? (of course, followed by "the look".)

SHETLAND SHEEPDOG: "Change the light bulb?? Can I? Can I? Let me do it, ok ok? I wanna... give me the light bulb... Wait, was that a car outside, go away car go away. Wait, that's a cat on the lawn... what are you doing on the lawn, huh huh? Is it fun out there on the lawn? Can I come play with you... Wait, is that the mailman? It is, it is! Hi there mailman, are you having lotsa fun out there mailman. I'll be it's fun being a mailman...." Eventually, you put cotton in your ears and change the lightbulb yourself.
