  Dear Jesus, there are so many things I was dead wrong about. For many many years I was dogmatically insistent that the WT was all it claimed to be. I never doubted. I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Not only that, but then I dared to judge everyone I met by those standards. My borgification was complete, and I was truly part of the collective. No wonder I was miserable...

  I have, in later years, felt compelled to go around and apologize to all my old friends for all the drama and bullshite I put them through because of my beliefs. I still shudder to think about all I said and did.

  I was dead wrong in switching my major in college to please my father. Stupid stupid stupid, now I have a degree I can't use and didn't do very well in anyway. I was dead wrong when I thought that military force could never acheive any good in the world. I was dead wrong when I thought smoking a disfellowshipping offence.

  And I'm just listing the things that I've had to make apologies for and that I can remember - there are so many more that its ridiculous.

  At least you faced up to it, Terry. That's about all anybody can do.

  Terry are you embarassed to have been caught out? It's natural to be a litttle hesitant to admit a mistake. And one of the things that people, not logical people, but just plain everyday ordinary folks, do when they are embarassed is look for someone to blame. For instance, when Dan Rather got caught, they started blaming everyone from Karl Rove to the Bermuda Triangle... but in the end whose responsibility was it that an inadequately vetted story was publicized? Dan Rather was the man who let in on the air, who didn't vet his sources, and who had to make an apology, and will probably have to retire over it. Nobody made the mistake for him.

  Besides, the way I see it, HS (a gray-headedly venerable member of this board, BTW) WAS extremely polite to you the whole way through. I think you are just embarassed because you got caught NOT following proper critical standards and are seeking to blame Hillary for being "rude" about pointing out your mistake.

  You made a mistake. Admit it, apologize, and make proper references in the future. You are in danger of losing the validity of your points if you don't admit where you are wrong.

  Besides, I'm fairly well read - that's how I recognized the Randian philisophy - but I would have never thought you were cutting and pasting from websites without attributing the sources? I mean, many people reword thoughts and only include a momentary reference to their source, but hardly anyone directly cuts and pastes and presents as their own. At least, if they don't work for CBS. You fooled me into believing you had become this dogmatically insistent all on your own. (With Ayn's help of course. What a biatch.)

  Sunday Talk: U.N. Worlds' most corrupt organization.

  yes, it's true.

  i went to the sunday talk this past week, and the speaker actually referred to the un as the "worlds' most corrupt organization.

  " i wonder if he was ad-libbing, or if that is still in the societies outline.

  I mean, I'm no fan of the UN, but to hug it with one hand and slap with the other is like a prostitute being paid to talk dirty.

  OPINION: How do we think about it?

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  somebody once said: "opinions are like a**holes; everybody has one".

  there is a difference between knowledge and opinion; a great distinction.. knowledge carries certainty that everybody everywhere gets the same result.

  two plus two in nova scotia is the same as two plus two in des moines, iowa.

  who doesn't have an opinionated bone in his body

  Well there's the root of your lady troubles, Logan. You need to stiffen up your opinion and don't be afraid to show it off, either.

  BTW..do you weep and gnash your teeth when moaning and groaning about those disgusting kisses....you have to do the whole thing ya know to fullfill the scripture.

  I have been known to squeeze out a tear or two in the heights of my emotions - but my teeth gnashing I'm going to have to reserve for when I meet the young lady in person and try to MOUTH my opposition to HER CROTCHety behavior...

  Okay, break out the violins, Czar's getting his period/mid-life crisis/weeks supply of beer down his throat in one evening. Maudlin drunks blow big chunks.

  Burn in hell, you teetotalling sum-biatch. I am feeling a little... less than fresh, though, maybe a minty tushie wipe will help.

  Ah, so we let fear and the stupid rule us. As ideas go that is, unsurprisingly, frighteningly stupid.

  It's not a question of "let". It's a question of the raw application of force. Who is smarter? Tiberius with his "people are swine" philosophy, or Ghandi, pegged by one of his own? Answer: neither, they're both DEAD and that's all there is to it. Dead and mostly forgotten, and everything they built is ashes and dust.

  Gawd, I can't believe I have to be at work in two hours...
