Your problem is that you are judgmental of others in religious and
non-religious areas of their lives. You have a rigid view of the world
and if someone does fall into to your rigid framework of behavior then
your berate and ridicule them. We are curious why you do this and what
event in your life caused you behave like this?

It was that liberal arts education that teaches you how to think.

You boys are an absolute panic. :)

Yabut, it's fun and kills time. Still snowing.

I think that is limited to those who believe the Univ of Kansas provides
an excellent liberal arts education.

I think we have found the root of the hostility and it is
jealously.


I think you are too dimwitted to analyze others.

I think you don't like the truth.



I think you wouldn't know "the truth" about this matter if it bit
you on the nose.

I wouldn't take Herring's travel trailer or boat or cars as a gift.

He wouldn't give them to you.

Are you seeing any of your children or grandchildren this holiday
season?

You mean, more of them than are here right now?

How many lineal children and grandchildren of yours are there now?


Enough.

Does that mean zero, one, two, or more?


Yes.

Why do you want to know? What the hell difference does it make if you
know how many children or grandchildren there are?

The answer to your question remains...enough.

Well. My wife has some bad vibes about the Catholic church.
Why? A young life going to mass in Poland,where many would sleep
during mass, then gather outside and engage in un-Christian-like
gossip. She hates gossip.
But she acts like the type of Christian I learned to strive for when I
was growing up and going to a Baptist church - generous in spirit,
seeing the good in people, and always trying to show your good side.

Won't work if you let yourself get ****ed off though.
That's my downfall. Still working on that. Making progress.
Best trick is don't hit the send button if you're ****ed.

I couldn't see the connection between grandchildren and the Toyotas.

Well, you could have put the money you spent or are spending on the
Toyotas into an educational savings account for your grandchildren.
There's probably more tied up in those cars than I have tied up in my
chair.

Yes, I could have bought used cars and saved some money. You are correct.

My comment about your chair was made in the hopes you would see that
bragging about an $850 desk chair was not the way to stop the insults and
name-calling that is so often directed at you. When you say you have an
$850 desk chair, it sounds like bragging. I'm sure it's not, but that's
what it sounds like.

Paying $850 for a chair might or might not be bragging.
But I've paid that much for a few of my cars that lasted me for years.
Aw shucks.....didn't mean to brag.

I hope you and your wife don't believe that all Catholics engage in gossip
and more than any other religion engages in gossip. There are probably many
horror stories out there about Baptists also. In fact there are probably as
many horror stories as there are religious sects.

$850 is about the lowest price Aero office chair. Most decent office
chairs cost at least that much.

Well see, there you go. Our definitions of 'decent' vary tremendously. You
are obviously much more a connoisseur of fine furniture than I. Shoot, I've
had a desk chair like this for years and been happy with it!
