chapoutier, please carry on, and hopefully you will restore some measure of honor to the profession I have so shamefully embarrassed.

So how many terrorist attacks occured against the United States under comrade Clinton?

With so many democrats, and the Clinton white house saying sadam hussein had WMD and that a regime change is needed-Why didn’t they do something militarly other than bombing a pharmacutical factory?

Just asking……….

Oh thats right they were attacking a religious compound in Waco, TX, sending a little boy from his relatives back to Cuba (and the land of “free” health care), forcing “don’t-don’t tell-don’t pursue” down the throats of our military (and you folks thought the folsum fair brought to you by Miller was big news) and commiting more crimes than the American public will ever know.

The Godfather. Pretty good movie. Check it out sometime.

Ahhh, I see. I’ve maybe watched five minutes of the movie, crime films aren’t my cuppa tea. The genre bores me to tears. Unless it’s one of the Golden Era classics like “The Maltese Falcon”, which is actually more of a detective story than a crime film. Also, once you go outside of the 70s there’s only a handful of films I enjoy. (Though Godfather was ‘74 or ‘75 if memory serves.)

Should get some cred from Jesus for that bunch of love.

Debating whether it’s worth commenting upon – well, here goes:

“Oh and I don’t think you know what “posit” means, but whatever.”

The example this post is referring to looks like a correct use of the word to me.
One meaning of posit is to place, put, or set.

Regardless, the tone of the remark , “…I don’t think you know what ‘posit’ means…” was not warranted.

“…but, whatever.”
Sure looks/sounds like a bomb was thrown, and then walked away from.
What, “…but, whatever.” unrings the bell?

“The concept of a “crackdown” on christians in a country where 75% of the people identify themselves as such is absurd. So grow the hell up and stop acting like a Chicken Little and seeing every damn thing that is slightly offensive to your delicate sensibilities (like a friggin green light on a building) as the end of Western culture as we know it.”

And this sure sounds like the scornful and derisive minimizing and dismissing of another’s concerns.

I wonder if anyone else senses a commonly used “debate” technique here, one that not a few TV pundits and talking heads employ.

Since you have no idea who you’re addressing, LOL, it’s to be expected you likewise have no idea what you’re talking about here:

posters here throw around their religion in an attempt to earn “Christ cred?

You are funny, even though I’m sure it’s unintentionial humor. Somehow positing that one is a sinner in need of a Savior just doesn’t get the wild adulation that it does in your world.
“Christ cred”, heh, I don’t know that Jesus goes over comment threads looking to bestow “cred” on commenters.

And here:

I don’t think you know what “posit” means

You make me giggle – thanks. But to assist, enlighten and educate you; “to lay down or assume as a fact or principle”.

And debating your own demand here:

The concept of a “crackdown” on christians in a country where 75% of the people identify themselves as such is absurd.

Then why were you complaining that it’s not being done?

And here, more wild emotionalism:

grow the hell up

(Such rantings speak for themselves.)

An appeal for Hal Jordan to morph into the Green Lantern:

a friggin green light on a building

You can decorate your basement room with as many green lights as you want. You’ll have to pay for them – and such accoutrements as prayer rugs & foot baths – outta your own pocket though.

This explains a lot:

Now you have gotten me worked up. Now I must drink.

Not to worry, most of us figured you to already be cranky drunk from the gitgo.
Good luck on finding Kay when/if you’re sober.
