There are millions like him and we can help them and they can have a good life. We in business have an obligation to mentor. We in any community have an obligation to the youth in our community to see they have a good future.
Where have you been for the last fifty years, Pollyanna ?
Simon - ( not 100% sure on all these facts, would need to re-watch the video / check details)
That's very honest of you Simon. But in light of the BS flying around this thread by those who don't accept the verdict you are a lightweight.
for the past 4 1/2 years i have heard everything said about president obama and now the lastest "obama being the anti-christ" just have me laughing my head off.
where do people get nonsense like this?
do they just sit around the kitchen table and say "what are we going to say next about obama and michelle?
Booker -be strong and try not to let it get you down.
Life can be so unfair sometimes. You must be strong.
Our government is on the verge of encouraging vigilanties and anarchy.
Eric Holder is the same AG who squashed the indictment of the Black Panther goons who were intimidating voters outside the polling place in '08.
when i believed in god i tried not to pray for anything selfish.. after a while i began to think that a lot of things i was asking my imaginary friend in the sky for were selfish for some reason.. i do not ever remember a single thing i prayed for ever being answered.
if there was the appearance of an answer it was because i did mental gymnastics to make it fit the delusion that god had actually answered me.
there was never an obvious message/answer from god.
Mine was.
"Dear Father, Thank you for the brain you gave me to think fairly clearly. Thank you for standing back and leaving your creation alone to make their own mistakes and suffer the consequences without your meddling. You have shown great restraint in allowing catastophic earthquakes, deseases, and storms to decimate thousands of us people. Most of all thank you for not discriminating in your decision to not intercede. You allow those who do not believe in you to exist and to suffer or succeed the same as your devout believers.
Thank you and I ask that you please continue your indifference.
In the name of Dee Dee Kai,
Amen "
so far so good.
Now the story shifts to the political/media/race exploiters who are just beggining to salivate over this manna from heaven.
it seems hardly a day can go by now without someone making a smutty comment and i really don't get it.. there is no need to interject talk of masturbation, sluts, gay sex or toys into every topic.
what are we, teenagers?.
please think twice before posting such comments.
I must say I am somewhat confused as to Simons definition of the difference between smut and adult banter. It seems a blurry line.
Seems so subjective that it just comes down to "wait and see what happens to your post". That's kind of off putting when you realize you are trying to comply with a vague concept. I guess it is a matter of Simon saying, "I know it when I see it".
Simon, you recently posted clips of very explicit condom commercials. They were funny. But I must say it adds to my confusion.
Suggestion - when you make the decision to omit a post that crosses your border line, unless it is blatantly obvious, why not a simple PM to the poster ? At least the poster could learn and try to comply.
Otherwise it just comes across as imperious.
or the 2000's generation thing?.
how did you feel?
how did it help you wake up?
I was long gone by the time of this WT. My daughter sent me a copy and I must say I laughed out loud when I read it.
In 1982 I was freshly out when a well meaning witness friend stopped one day when I was out in the front yard. Nice guy, very sincere asking me to come back and I was very kind in my response.
I said to him very clearly, "David, mark my words. The WT teaching about the1914 generation not passing away before the end is going to be a problem. They have painted themselves into a corner. Watch for them to wiggle out of it no later than the late 90's."
I always wondered if he recalled my words when he sat in the WT study that Sunday in 1995.
i never really liked the 'pirates' movies that much, so i don't know how i was talked into this one.
it's a shame because johnny depp is much better than these quirky roles he is now assigned to play.
just hope he puts a few million of this payday in his kid's college fund.
This kind of film has a huge audience willing to shell out $8.00 (?) to see it. Pacific Rim is another of the same type,
The last one we saw that was computer generated chaos and annoying high volume we walked out. I can now spot them and avoid them. I like small movies with good stories. I liked "Drive" and I see the same director and actor are teaming up again. I like most Woody Allen movies. I love good documentaries like "The Queen of Versailles" or "Meet the Fokkens".
EntPoss - ".. he avoids it by not getting out of his car"
It is rather strange how those dissapointed in the jury decision are casually tossing around their opinions based on hindsight. GZ should have had foresight into the future ? But he did not have a Back to the Future DeLorean.
He was reacting to the real time reality that he was being physically attacked and was unable to see even five minutes into the future. He was preventing further harm, possibly death.
