X-JW Hypocrisy.
by DJ intolerance : the capacity for or practice of recognizing and respecting the opinions, practices, behavior or beliefs of others.. sadly, there is a double standard on this board practiced by many.
i have had a spat with stinky pantz about tolerance and we have both apologized.
this defintion is here for the others who think that tolerance is something that only christians don't have much of!

Right now there are two possibilities. One: I move to Ireland and work as a Radiologist and my wife works as a Respiratory Therapist. Two: We work here, and buy a home over there, then retire there when we're ready. It really depends on various circumstances but I like to plan ahead and thoroughly.

I'd be moving from Washington State. So, lots of rain, clouds, some sun and plenty of water here. I'm particularly interested in staying close to the Ocean for spiritual reasons but it is not vital.

Rate your congreagation
by Hamas inaylestone congreagation leicester ; what a place that was.. we were so starved for laughter we used to laugh at the slightest thing; you remember how witnesses are deprived of true humour so they must negotiate with anything they hear slightly funny ?
that was what it was like for us at aylestone.. it was like sitting in a morgue.
we lost a great elder;- fantastic laugh.

Puyallup Congregation: pretty damn good, people were nice and the most stunning of gods creations was there, Joomi Lee. I give this Hall a 9.5
Graham Congregation: the fifth ring of hell, everyone in everyone elses business, constant rumors and backstabbing, amazing amounts of hypocrisy (Oh let's lecture on the evils of fornication and non chaperone dating. By the way lets not notice the glut of teenage mothers and an elders daughter that is DF'd every 6 months). A severe lack of education. I give this Hall a 1.2
There are severely different KH but the message is still the same. It is a matter of how backwoods you go.

US Patriotism VS the Rest of the World
by Xena inabaddon and i were having a discussion in another thread regarding the differences between us patriotism and european patriotism.
apparently some people consider the us to be peopled with rabid flag waving, my country right or wrong, ugly americans.
i am wondering what the general concensus of this board would be?.

Part of the problem is that the "blind patriots" get all the press. They are the ones making a spectacle of themselves and we all know how much the news loves sensationalism. However, that is not America in general. I believe, in general, most Americans just want to be left alone. They want to make decent money and just "live". Now most other parts of the world don't get these luxuries/freedoms so they are basically playa hatin. I'm an American but I don't think this is the greatest country on Earth. Why? Because I haven't been to any other country. Any person who makes that claim and has not visited anywhere else is full of shit. They are saying it to make themselves believe it and feel better. However, based on the news (yeah, it's biased) I would have to say that we are doing pretty damn good. Despite the turn to a police state with the Patriot Acts we are still doing better than the majority of the world. We have some serious problems here, namely our pathetic educational system, but I think we'll get through them just fine. Although, I think we are raising an entire generation of ignorant kids but that is another topic. This country has its share of blind patriots who are willing to close their eyes to any Government indescretion. Clinton had his and now Bush has his rabid followers as well. I do see a trend in patriotic Ad Hominim attacks. With the war, I'm a frustrated American who has to deal with my own countrymen calling me unpatriotic because I don't support Bush. Which has led me to the conclusion that there is at least two types of patriotism.
Personal Patriotism:
The type of patriotism that is personal and holds the belief that you are proud to be a citizen of your country.
Political Patiotism:
The type of patriotism used for personal gain or to align yourself with a group in order to be part of the group.
With this war raging I see tons of Political Patriotism and most of it is aimed at anyone who may not share the same ideas as those in power. I think that this is the type of Patriotism that gets the press and is what the rest of the world gets to see. Sen. John Kerry made a comment about the U.S. needing a "regime change". It was an obvious political ploy and at the very least in poor taste. Instantly, he's being called unpatriotic. This is political patriotism at its finest because unlike Bush, who dodged Vietnam, Kerry was actually a part of that war and put his life on the line for America. As far as I'm concerned, calling a fellow citizen unpatriotic because you don't agree with them is in itself unpatriotic.
That's my rant and I won't be correcting any spelling because I'm tired.
of the tired as hell class.

Funny screenshot from MINI website
by Jourles ina couple days ago, i was browsing the mini website checking out the new cooper s. today, i woke up the computer i was using to view their website and noticed that i didn't close out my browser session.
at first glance, i thought my wife sent a netbios message telling me to get off the computer(she thinks she is so cool now that i showed her how to do that).
but then i read on further and saw that it came from mini.

I'm seriously thinking about buying one of these cars. Not only are they cool but they get really good gas mileage. I'm torn, however, between the maroon/white top or the green/white top.
