we've had a few comments lately that show that people don't seem to fully comprehend the way moderation works or the point of it.. if someone point something that other people don't like or agree with then that is a difference of opinion.

live with it.. if someone posts something that is crude, insulting, contains bad language etc.

then it violates the posting guildelines and can and should be removed.. now, sometimes we won't immediately notice a post that should be removed.

I have never had a problem with how this site is run. I could never have the patience and goodwill Simon and others show. I would only volunteer to be a mod if there was an annihilate button!

I saw SEVEN the other day - the girls on one side the men on the other. in witless la la land the men usually only bother talking to the sistahs if they are young and want sex. A couple of them were drinking their Starbucks.

So for every hour, 7 of "preaching" can be counted. Truly jehoobie is expanding the work in this final part of the end of the VERY end of the end of the time of the end!!

What is the biggest number you have seen gaggling around them?

there was a recent thread talking about how the american english in the babble comics, often gets kids losing marks in school.. one of the posters said that he was a spanish speaker, and when he reads the comics and other litterature, it is actually unlike any normal spanish he has ever read.

i don't speak spanish, so would like to have some examples, preferably funny.

any takers?.

They started the same hype over the announcement that would "shock" old timers in the lead up to the AGM. it was just a damp fizzle. I'm never going to get pulled into this hype factory again. it will be another non-event, like the annual "Special Talk" - it is never special.

Does The State Have The Right To Quarantine Someone Because They Might Have Ebola?

no doubt you have heard about the nurse that thumbed her nose to the state and went out of the house in spite of being ordered to stay at home.

what is your opinion on this?.

Does anybody remember the oldTwighlight Zone episode where a world weary man gets his wish to go back to the good old days?

yellow flags at one house red ones at others , warning of various deadly illnesses in the house? Or the ads in Nat Geo from the 30s "Katy can't play today she has a sniffle"

Antibiotics and modern meds have made us far too apathetic about infection. In a few years antibiotics will not work and millions, or even billions will die of simple infections. We are all free citizens like that nurse - but with freedom also comes duty and responsibility.

Why does the Society no longer use strong language?

by LogCon in

why does the society no longer use strong language, such as found in the march 1, 1949 wt, to expose false religion?.

"...for years now the united states government has had a succession of roman catholic men as postmaster general and in control of the post-office department, and about such there can be no doubt that they are agents and representatives of the vatican.

but to date has anyone ever heard of this religionist in office issuing an order forbidding the use of the united states mails for carrying on a racket of collecting money from roman catholics upon the representation that it is for the benefit of their dead.

The quote of Rutherfraud contains LOOOONG sentences. Most people now cannot retain the meaning of a sentence longer than ten words. If a word of three or more syllables appears near the beginning of a sentence, everything after is generally read by a brain on overload, and dumped.

The Babble Comics have to use shorter sentences and simpler vocabulary to appeal to the ignorant gofors the Borg is trying to suck in.

And the Comics are now written by ignoramuses, with no depth of reading, education, or life experience themselves. Most went to Beth Hell as kids, and never grew up. The GB are a bunch of dust farting reptiles who butt- kissed their way to the top, not by their knowledge or education. THEY prolly have a hard time understanding it. That's why the new "God's Kingdumb" book offers no cogent reasoning on anything.
