Unfortunately, I don't think he'll ever run out of "silly" arguments.... I just wish he had a few logical ones.... Sir Not-appearing-in-this-threadDoodle.
Wow; that's a coincidence! Up here "Garozza" is deaf-speak for "this dance is full of loser bogans". Clem
A lot of European men kiss one another on the cheek, but you don't see them shoving their heads up one another's arseholes [in public]. Nev.. '02 CBR1100XX #2
"kiwipete" wrote Sorry. Did you get the impression that I wanted the chance to vote for or against JH? How did you get that impression? You were the one that suggested that JH was popular because lots of people voted for him. I merely pointed out that they didn't. Now you're heading off in some other tangent. I didn't know he was running for Mayor. ?? Theo
"kiwipete" wrote The bible is written by people inspired by God and is absolutely literally correct. That's why we have so many versions. There was a pre-OT God? Like in before "In the beginning......" Theo
"kiwipete" wrote objectivity... What did I miss? Did you not suggest that slave-owners in the US were not Christians? I can assure you that they were. Theo Would you please not top-post. It's a pain in the arse reorganising every post to make sense. If I ever kill-file you, that will be the reason.
"kiwipete" wrote Explain to me what I mis- or didn't read. I think you've lost this one and are looking for an exit. Hint:- sneaking out is better than blustering. Theo That was cool. I managed (accidentally) to use the word read in two pronunciations but only had to write it once.
"kiwipete" wrote cases... What defines a Christian? Their opinion of who they are, or your's? Lots of Christians do that. Bush, Howard, Blair, .... the Spanish Inquisitor. Then you are wrong. They were indeed Christians working within the mores of the society and time they lived in. At the time of the Inquisition Spanish Jews had the option of converting or execution after torture. Was the Inquisitor not a Christian. In Australia, the Tasmanian abogines were exterminated by.... you guessed it, Christians! I don't think it's a circle. You've got to the end of the road and see the wall in front of you, but you've closed your eyes and kept going. Theo
No, not really. I don't think a PM elected by the people would necessarily have the backing of his colleagues, and so would have difficulty getting anything done. Theo
"kiwipete" wrote The Oz census allows people to self-define their religious affiliation. They tried asking God but he had a virus attacking his file system. Ask him and let me know. Theo
What's it got to do with God... he didn't define what a christian is, the Romans did. Nev.. '02 CBR1100XX #2
What have the Romans ever done for us? Al (Sorry Nev, but it had to be said) "Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon. " Remove *ME* before replying
"kiwipete" wrote Sigh! It doesn't end, does it. If you recall this part started with me disagreeing with you saying that the majority agreed with JH because they voted for him. I said they didn't. You now agree. We now both agree that we should not elect a PM. Please acknowledge that the majority of people did NOT vote for JH as you originally stated. If you read my posts carefully you will find I did not say that was a good thing or a bad thing. You should try using logic instead of emotion when reading and replying to posts. I believe a description of the word is in most dictionaries. Theo
"kiwipete" wrote ROTFL. Can't help yourself Pete. This was posted just 12 minutes after you kill-filed me. No response. mothpieces All Theo supporters gather at the lightglobe. Has it ocurred to you that people support people because they agree with their point of view, and do not support people whith whom they disagree. I do not encourage debate by email. I don't even know how to ICQ. Pete, I know you won't be able to resist peeking at this post, when someone disagrees with you, they could be mistaken. When almost everyone disagrees with you, it's possible you have the wrong point of view or an incorrect understanding. OTOH, you may be a fundamentalist Christian. Cheers Theo
