The King of Numb-de-Plums on Usenet was a guy whose original nick was
Smush. At one time he had used over 230 different and unique nicks and
every one of them was funny as hell and said as much about the subject
being flamed as the posts themselves. Guy was amazing.

Ah yes - those were the days when flame wars were exercises in
creativity and style - not this screaming choke fest you see nowadays.

Harry. religions help to form societies. some for the good and some
for the not so good.

Atheistic thinking does too. Just ask Karl Marx.

As if all atheists are Marxists.

How Rushian of you.

"Rushian?"

If you mean R. Limbag, I haven't listened to him in probably two
years.

He inhabits your soul. *He's a good Christian.

Jon, I can just imagine Jesus is looking down and laughing his butt
off at that statement you just made.

I can't imagine any supreme being taking the time to laugh at my joke
while allowing other humans to kill innocent men, women and children.

Make whatever rationalization suits your existence, it's yours to own
and take along to your glorious afterlife.

Or your reincarnation as an earthworm.

I know my family and I know how their mission works. Tell you what.

Yes, I'm sure it does. Their mission works by creating a moral
dilemma for whomever is receiving the free medical attention.
This is the same way bin Laden works. He builds schools, provides
medical care and feeds people and in return they pledge allegiance to
his cause.
It's a very simple exchange that works very well.
bin Laden is a missionary.
You're welcome to feel that way if you wish.
His followers do. I know the score, do you?

Which score?


He's an idiot...but you already knew that.

Hey Tim, when I called the dealer, I'd talked to an underling. The
boss called me back a while ago to tell me they check out the gas
situation at no charge. That's not bad! He also promised to get it
done the day I brought it down.

I don't get the feeling it's your choice. Nice try.

COOL! It sounded like a real bummer at first. But now that I think
about it, the dealership doesn't have anything to gain by being
abrupt.

especially on a year old brand new boat.

hope all goes well, John.

Uh no, you don't. If you think you do, then it's just a matter of
proving it.

Oh, you can't? Have to take it on faith? You betcha.
