last night, i found myself wondering aloud about something i never thought i would consider: purchasing a gun.
previously, i had very strong anti-gun sentiments.
i felt, and still do to some extent, that freely available guns in this country are an immediate threat to children and add to the violent perception others have of americans.
(((((((Wasa))))))
I have never considered myself a pacifist and yet there was a time in my life when I actually looked down the barrel of a shotgun.
Despite that, and maybe even due to that, I know I could never aim a gun and be prepared to pull the trigger. I would have to live with the consequences.
However, I definitely would use other forms of self-defence even if it means injuring another to save my childrens lives.
Not much of an answer.....but an honest one.
Ana
i used a bigger word than dunscot......
Seeker,
I can see from what angle you are coming from as I have had a few digs at Duns.
In being honest I hope that Duns realises I am only having a bit of fun....I have nothing whatsoever against Duns or his intellectual abilities; I can even handle his big words..........let's face it.....he gives us a laugh and extra bits of information too.
So Duns.....I hope you read this....
Ana
what are your motives for being here?.
1. to get information.
2. to slam the wtbs at every opportunity.

dear doctor larc,.
i have a question to ask you.
this question has perplexed me for years.
The paragraph below was written by Greg Stafford; not myself.....but Duns....your writing style is so close to his one could almost believe.....well???????
And Mr Stafford also picks people to shreds for grammar????
P.S....Ever thought of behaviour therapy???
Ana .....You're good....

[< I hope this is not going to be a recurring pattern in your response, Mr. Hommel, but, again, he can say whatever he wants, but the fact is D-M makes reference to a grammatical parallel to John 1:1, which they translate with an indefinite article. How is it that you cannot see this simple point? If I make reference to two texts that use the same grammatical construction and I then translate one of them a certain way, I am then making it allowable to translate the other passage with the same grammatical construction in the same way. Of course, we always consider the different contexts and other relevant issues before offering a translation, but that is where factors other than grammar come into play. Here we are speaking of the grammatical basis presented in the D-M grammar upon which one could say that such and such is allowable. For D-M to parallel the grammar of John 1:1 to Anabasis 1.4.6 and to then translate the predicate nominative in Anabasis 1.4.6 as "a market," certainly ALLOWS for (grammatically) the predicate in John 1:1c. to likewise have an indefinite article in translation. Whether they view the predicate as having the same semantic is irrelevant to the fact that the grammatical construction itself is capable of bearing the indefinite/qualitative semantic. I explained all of this in my response, which you reference below, but for some reason this point was not clear to you.>]

i'll be back later to take care of brother larc and others.
for now, i want to share a brief quote taken from albert einstein.
if the doctor fouls up the quote, he takes full responsibility for any legal ramifications that may append thereto.
Larc, Farkel,
Good posts.
Ever hear of histrionic sociopathy???

Parts of what follows below were actually painful to write. However, because of the ongoing misinformation campaigns launched by Dr. Duns Scott, Ph.D. and his emissaries, I feel it is my duty to write this. Here's my side of the story: Dr. Scott says he's going to lay the foundation for some serious mischief before you know it. Good old Dr. Scott. He just loves to open his mouth and let all kinds of things come out without listening to how ghastly they sound. Take, for example, the most macabre finks I've ever seen. Now look at Dr. Scott. If you don't believe there's a similarity, then consider that if he were paying attention -- which it would seem he is not, as I've already gone over this -- he'd see that he spouts the same bile in everything he writes, making only slight modifications to suit the issue at hand. The issue he's excited about this week is sesquipedalianism, which says to me that Dr. Scott has stated that merit is adequately measured by his methods and qualifications. One clear inference from that statement -- an inference that is never really disavowed -- is that the Universe belongs to him by right. Now that's just narrow-minded. Dr. Scott contends that he knows the "right" way to read Plato, Maimonides, and Machiavelli. Excuse me, but where exactly did this little factoid come from?
It's not just the lunatic fringe that's in his corner; a number of previously respectable people have recently begun backing Dr. Scott. By the end of the decade, his poison will infect us, sicken us, and destroy us. By the way, saying that last sentence out loud is a nice way to get to the point quickly at a cocktail party. Even if we accepted his vituperations, so what? Does that mean that it's okay for Dr. Scott to indulge his every whim and lust without regard for anyone else or for society as a whole? Of course not.
After hearing about his deluded attempts to exploit the general public's short attention span in order to rely on the psychological effects of terror to magnify the localized effects of his inclinations so that, like a stone hurled into a pool of water, shock waves ripple from the epicenter of Dr. Scott's attacks to the furthest reaches of the Earth, I was saddened. I was saddened that he has lowered himself to this level. His slogans are tinctured with absolutism. With this central point cleared up, the rest of Dr. Scott's arguments are rendered moot, as his personal attacks cannot stand on their own merit. That's why they're dependent on elaborate artifices and explanatory stories to convince us that Dr. Scott is the one who will lead us to our great shining future. If he wants to be taken seriously, he should counter the arguments in this letter with facts, not illogical panaceas, personal anecdotes, or insults. In effect, I'm sure Dr. Scott wouldn't want me to eavesdrop on his conversations. So why does he want to deny minorities a cultural voice? That is, why is he so compelled to complain about situations over which he has no control? In classic sophist fashion, I ask another question in reply: What exactly is he trying to hide? After days of agonized pondering and reflection, I finally came to the conclusion that I believe I have found my calling. My calling is to address the real issues faced by mankind. And just let him try and stop me. In short, Dr. Duns Scott, Ph.D.'s drones are united through alcoholism, racialism, and negativism.
I tried...I tried...I really did...but La Donna is stronger than me!!

But I will let Duns reply.

"Good music is very close to primitive language."
this is a letter i have planned on writing for some time, a letter that i claim is extremely important and one that certainly must be heeded if we are to undo the damage caused by jehovah's witnesses.
unless you share my view that i am making an appeal to the intelligence of the reader not to be fooled by jehovah's witnesses's demagoguery, there's no need for you to hear me further.
it has been said that jehovah's witnesses is doing the very thing for which it criticizes others.
Jerry,
Well anyone can still dissect it????
ROTFL....
