I LOVE your country. I've spent some time there and loved the scenery and the people. Sadly, my French was limited to simple words and pointing to the French/English handbook I carried. Welcome to the site.

VW emissions cheating and driverless cars

by Simon in

when i first heard about this it sounded like they just had a mode that was optimizing the vehicle's emission levels which sounded good.. turns out, they were detecting when a car was being tested to cheat the control system.. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34311819.

their shares are down 19% - but larger than the financial fallout is the trust.

this is the worlds largest car manufacturer!.

Simon and SS,

Great lists! The only thing I would add is Slower Traffic Keep Right. If you are in the fast lane and you see my BMW on your ass and no one is in front of you, move over. And if you are in the fast lane, in a multi-lane highway/Interstate, and there are a lot of people lined up behind and no one in front of you - you aren't leading - you're impeding progress.

GTF out of everyone's way, and especially mine.

so i was fooled by the witnesses.

what can i learn from that?

not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

"I personally found the comment as childish as your insults to those who believe in Jesus."

Good. Mission accomplished, although I was going for sophomoric. But what reason do we have to live if we don't have lofty goals?

The Rebel, aka Uriah Heep, from David Copperfield:

"ll say it again: Uriah Heep. It’s satisfying even to type it. Uriah Heep. I don’t know what it is. An Old Testament prophet gone sour? A pile of wee? Either way, it fits. It is the name of a man who will tell you he is the “umblest person going” while scheming to lord it over you. The name of a man you don’t want to touch. A man indeed, whose very touch will ruin your day – as David Copperfield learned to his expense."

Viviane is a good girl. When she is good, she is very good. When she's bad, she's even better. (OK, Rebel, do your homework, what famous person is known for that line?)

Hurts like hell when it's spot on laser focused accurate, doesn't it Rebel. You resurrected this with insults, so stop playing the victim. It is unbecoming, even though you wear it well, Rod.

And original? You're probably googling Uriah Heep right now to see WTF I'm referring to. It's Dickens, not the rock band, if that helps. And it's Aretha Franklin, Rod Stewart and Michael Myers from the Halloween series. Geesh, once again I'm doing your homework for you.

Another tip. Quit while you are ahead.

Aretha, I mean Rebel,

You already whined, I mean discussed, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, during this OP: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/444630001/when-people-leave-cult-man-landed-on-moon-critical-thinking.

I responded in that OP that you made some valid points; I countered that respect is a 2-way street and made, among others, this point: " when you reach a dead end, stop posting, exercise self control, and stop wasting everyone’s time in your vain, narcissistic attempt to win an argument that you have lost."

You received a lot of shit on this OP because you deserved it. And any rational, intelligent person who looks at the reason you resurrected this OP from the dead, which is where it needed to be Michael Myers, would conclude that you did so because: a. you are a narcissist who loves the sound of your own voice, having the last word, and that 'special' feeling that being a conspiracy theorist gives you. It doesn't really make up for the lack of accomplishment in your life, but, like a drug, it makes you 'feel' as though it does; and b. You are an attention seeking whore who, like Uriah Heep, uses fake humility as leverage if not a blunt weapon.

Big Bang or Big Bust?

by redvip2000 in

i noticed on the october issue of the awake magazine a much softer stance on the big bang theory.

now, i'm not sure if officially the org was ever against this theory ( i did not find much on this), but i do recall on a congregation level, there was constant mockery from jws about the idea that universe was the result of a big initial explosion.. we now see a softer position on this.

as the org now explains:.

DJS

Let's take a vote, class:

Big Bang?

Or Big Bust?
