Hehe Robo Cop glasses

Is he an actor or muscian or something?

you're just too kind.

MyJoe:
^^^ And with perfect grace, she walks in! 
OLAADEGGBU has no argument on that. He is simply saying I should consign all the Bibles that state the fact there was an interpolation, or put a dash in that verse, to the Thames and revert to the “authorized” versions which contain verse 36 without informing us of the matter.

Oh okay. I forced my brain to track back and read the discussion. So OLA is saying about "one taken in the night, the other in the day" is evidence the earth is round and you said its simply implying "it would occur when people would be doing different things or in different places"  and then you mentioned its highlighted original mss do not contain that portion in Luke and OLA says but its in Matt - is that right?

  I'm still of the opinion it makes no difference either way. I can understand why OLA would draw that conclusion about rotation as I guess it can be derived from that verse if taken in the most literal of senses and applied to the 3rd power. But to that I say what does it matter either way? Another signpost?  (used with permission from imhotep)

kai! touché  but ehn . . .
Mark 9:47 "if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell"

Of course we know nothing. We only pay our taxes, obey the law, contribute to our communities and do our part to make America better. But who are we to voice our irrelevant opinions on how our money will be spent? how dare us.

davidylan:
What is the problem with the tax penalties? If you drive without auto insurance you get slammed with serious fines . . . you want that repealed too?

Having a car is very optional. Haven't you noticed?

The goal of making sure everyone has insurance is such that no one goes to the ER, gets free treatment that is then tacked unto the insurance bill for you and me. Its just that simple. Watch something other than Fox for a change ma'am.

Yes that is the goal. But again I have been telling you people it is not working here in ground zero. I'm too lazy to make my case now, maybe later. But a quick google search should suffice and show you articles from even left-wing news outlets that detail the problems with Mass-Care.

davidylan:
Shldnt we just repeal it like your republican masters are threatening?

Repeal what? abeg let it become law. Me I want to see what the o-messiah has done . And by the way, I have only one master and His name is Jesus Christ. Don't get it twisted homeboy.

Even the spambot does not agree with you ma'am. Its instructive to note that everyone who has posted here has had the exact same assessment of your claims - i.e. you dont know what you're talking about.

And there are millions of taxpaying Americans who agree with her. It is perhaps instructive for you to note that 

davidylan:
Actually the Mass plan was designed to be funded from monies obtained from the FG. Quite different from how the Dems plan to fund their federal plan.

I say we shall see 
 

things like? I thot you warned us it was going to be one huge bolshevik plot?

Things like tax penalties for those who don't get insurance. See my last post to Prez.

i dont know if you are a lawyer. i'm not but i've been to court before, it can take lawyers 2 hours to say ''in its full technicality'', what you and me can say in 3 sentences. dont you know that it can take tens of pages just to establish one of those points you like. you have not read the bill to know those stuff you hate. meanwhile the bill is to be amended in the senate to remove some stuff like the nebraska deal which was done to assist in getting the 60 voted necessary to pass the senate(without which we would still be debating the bill in the senate today) but again the republicans want to block that. lol.[/quote]Like I just said to David, we shall see what is really in the bill as it unfolds before all our eyes. I know why I am sceptical, again have you forgotten I live in ground zero?

hope you are proud of your tea baggers who are now busy threatening to kill the children of those who voted for the bill and are trying to intimidate the democrats who voted for the bill, throwing stones in their offices and threatening more.

You should know better than to ascribe the alleged actions of a handful of fringe right wingers to an entire group of people. Fringe left wingers are just as bad. We should not let this cast a dark shadow over people who are just honest disagreers. Has anything Montelik said not gotten thru to you eh? 

what happened to the rhetoric of ''you will pay in november''? if the bill was anti american, i guess the democrats will be voted out in november? uh-uh, i saw a bounce in support for the bill, i saw a bounce in support for obama in the polls, hmmmnn . . . tell the tea baggers, no need for a fight, use your vote come november. start with the blue dog democrats

I'm not sure if you're talking to me here or the republican party or the tea party. Please clarify. All these blanket statements self . . . David is rubbing off on you too much 

semid4lyfe:
Hmmm. . .anyhow sha, I'm glad Renee is back in play. I was beginning to think I had seen the last of her.

Renee is going to end up happily hitched to Jack. . . or else

Seun:
I can buy Dana as a wimpy, spineless mole, but the sudden change to a 'badass' tone strikes me as unrealistic. We've seen her in many private situations and she was always wimpy and silly; they can't change that overnight. It's surprising because it makes no sense, that's all.

Actually not really I think.

She was just playing the part of wimpy in order to maintain her cover. Also remember she was about to kill her ex and the other con before Cole stopped her, so its not entirely out of the blue.

MyJoe, whut up dude? Sorry I have been MIA, most certainly wish I coulda been around for the last 5 pages or so. I saw your post to me a long while back, I will try honor it with a fitting response.

I also skimmed thru and see Pastor AIO and Noetic have supplied some of the fireworks I was looking for, I am most obliged  . Nuclearboy, your song will not suffice. You must throw a few dropkicks and combos, I know Krayola is down with that.

OLAADEGBU,
  I'm too lazy to read thru the last page or two. Can you please in a nutshell summarize your argument on the missing/omitted verse thingy?

Abeg you people should leave Platinumk jare.

Everyone is just talking theory now, we shall see in a few years the true effect of this bill. Everyone should just take a seat and enjoy the show

[quote author=Mad_Max link=topic=173006.msg5758106#msg5758106 date=1269440846]Is that right? [/quote]Yes now. Didn't someone tell you? you are now blind to gorgeous men. That's why you should take it all in before slapping a ring on that  

Aren't you, er, um, uhh, a guy? Come out come out come out of the closet. . .

Lol, I was going to say something but just kept quiet   But hey, I can sympathize with doyin. I was overcome by how foine that chick in 'Dejavu' was. I had to keep reminding myself I was a woman lol.

spikedcylinder:
No be only Obinna o, I watched Valentines Day too.
It's really not my fault.

No wayyyy lol. Whose fault? oga? I hope you didn't hafta pay money from your own purse lol

spikedcylinder:
Jesoul, I watched Lightening Thief. That's all I can say. [size=3pt]Congratulations by the way.

    oh dear. I'm prescribing two doses of "The Bone Collector" and one of "Armageddon" to help work those out of your system.
Congrats? on what? did I win something?

That Chris Evans character is smoking, ridiculously, illegally hot oo.

There, I fixed that quote for you  .

obinna5000:
@spikedcylinder
But you have to admit "Percy Jackson-Lightning Thief" was some how better than "Valentine's Day". Even though they both suck.

Obinna you sef, these kin movies wey you dey watch lol.

Max please, need I remind you that you're a married woman. Your eyes should be glued shut to all else apart from your oga.

  Leave the Chris Evans of this world to the rest of us 

  Obinna, I didn't really like the role he was cast in Fantastic Four. Evans has a rep for being a 'mickey mouse', kool aid type actor, and starring as Captain America will only further butress that sentiment. I wish he got more serious roles to match that serious body. Max is such a bad influence on me.

davidylan:
The Mass model is quite similar except it didnt make provisions for containing costs.

"Provisions" hmm, we shall see. You know Mass woulda gone bankrupt by now if we weren't getting child support from the FG.

You actually like some of the stuff on the bill? What a complete shock . . . and here i thot the democrats were trying to "jam" a bad socialist plot down America's throats. This has always been the problem with the bill . . . blank opposition without accurate information.

Shush jare you and Prez. I said I like some things in it and I really don't like some things in it.

lol we know it is based purely on partisan politics. Tell us why Scott Brown isnt voting for something quite similar to what he actually supported and was proposed by Mitt Romney in Mass?

To me Mitt Romney will forever be held responsible for the mess that is "universal healthcare" in Mass. He made a huge mess and left it for us to clean up. I think this alone throws a huge wrench in his presidential aspirations, and rightly so.

[quote author=pres-elect link=topic=416796.msg5750717#msg5750717 date=1269355880]where have you been all these years? this is what the democrats healthcare bill proposed. this is what obama has been saying all this while . . , . . . . and this is what scott brown proudly said he will destroy. and he got your vote.[/quote]Abeg go siddown jare lol. These are just 2 parts of a 1000 page bill. I know better. I have seen and lived it here in Mass. There are a few good outcomes but overall the Mass model is a disaster with an oversized capital D. I particularly dislike the portion of the bill that mandates everyone to be covered or else suffer tax penalties - this is the one thing I was hoping they would leave out.

Obama actually talked about this very point while on the campaign trail highlighting this big problem with the mass model and how it made no sense to penalize people that cannot afford it in the first place - so I'm suprised he included it in this bill.

here is a video of what obama and the democrats want to end. in this 80 seconds video, we see Dr linda Peeno, a doctor for an insurance company, whose job is to deny clients(those who have insurance o) a coverage when they need it. she denied a man insurance coverage and was promoted, she became richer by far, but her conscience pushed her to come and expose these things. this is why insurance companies are fighting with their life to block this move, they have succeeded for about a century, but soon it will be over for this kind of practice, then they will device another means


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoqpPwvUoP0

I can't watch that video now but will later. And I think I've stated more than once I have zero affection for insurance companies, they are the personification of evil and need to be dealt a blow. But I will not support anything that proposes to address the problem in theory but is then in reality delivered dressed in an unrecognizable garb that does more to hurt the people than help. Again - the Mass model.

Nobody knows what effect this bill will have until it is signed into law. I will hold my comments, my REAL comments until then.

Lol, you poor thing. Don't tell me you saw "The Lightning Theif" or "Cop out"?  btw, anyone have any idea what the deal is with "Repo Men"? I heard it flopped major when it opened last wknd.

Shutter Island, I haven't said was mind blowing but to me was a breath of fresh air. I started to figure it out when the supposed mad woman who killed her children was pretending Leo was her dead husband.
I really really liked how REALISTIC Leo's hallucinations were. I have silly dreams like that all the time where people morph into objects, things change phases, water becomes blood, becomes flowers. Being afraid of the yet to be born because they are without form and hence more dangerous, transvisible spirits, converting oneself into a previous substance into which one had been originally formed etc etc soooooooo, it was kind of a very personal and effective touch from the director IMO.
It was alright. Abeg.

On that you are very right. The line btw real and crazy was really non-existent. As for your hallucinations dreams  no comment, I mean just one comment, you could have a future with Shyamalan and his writers.

DANA WALSH!!! men see the evil look in her eye as she was approaching the conference room I like what they've done with the story . . . poor Cole lol.

montelik:
You are still ascribing positions and arguments to me that I have not advocated.

Hehe, David's is particularly skilled in that trade

@ Jesoul. How u dey. It seems like your previous prayer wasn't answered oh. Apparently a national version of the Massachusetts health care model is going to be signed into law any moment, better get ready. Good luck    

Actually I'm not quite sure how similar/dis-similar the Mass model is to the national one. It remains to be seen I guess. And don't adjust your computer screen, but I actually like a few of the items in this bill like "pre-existing conditions, allowing kids to stay on parents insurance till 26" etc . . . I'm 100% for anything that forces insurance companies to actually live up their end of the deal and insure people instead of burying people in endless paper work and red tape while they die off.

montelik:
What is wrong with people. What does racism have do with this. Does everything have to be connected to racism once it involves people of differing opinions and races.

Are they the best way to get stuff done? I don't think so. Are they sometimes ugly? Yes. But do they prove racism, extremism and Nazism? Hell No. You need more damning evidence than that. Obama is not the first President in history to hit rough a patch and face down fervent opposition and he most certainly won't be last. It has little to do with racism. Fact

Montelik, you need to stop being reasonable and making these kinds of recklessly knowledgeable and solid points that are based on observable facts. Infact I am getting tired of the way you constantly make perfect sense in this section 

  I mean common! how can obamabots survive and continue to play their racist victim cards when you insist on constantly assaulting their frivolous lamentations of imaginary persecution with these kinds of sensible rejoinders? I'm reporting you to the mod asap.

4 Play:
Obama supporters call critics of Obama racist so it's a bit rich hearing any of them complain when the same tactic is used against Obama.

Touché! lol

Hmm, Spiked.

In delicate terms, I'll say I'm somewhat less complimentary of Shutter Island. Saw it 3 days ago actually, and less than halfway into it I pretty much figured out what was going on and how it would end. . . .  I turned to Mr. watching it with me, shared my prophecy and effectively spoiled it for him too - so it was very anti-climatic for me, and I think it will be for the average movie enthusiast who's seen *insert the movie we know they copied the idea from here*

But its still an okay movie. Good acting, cool scenes, crazy people, some confusing tidbits here and there and even boring for me atimes, but overall okay.

You think me similar to JK huh? I think not. For the record, I rarely actually disappear. Sometimes, I just don't wanna be found.

Hehe "Big Sister" . . . what does the log say I'm doing now?

MyJoe:
I agree about what James says. But Paul is clear that faith is all you need. A group of Christians I am sure you know their label have since run away with that.

We will hafta open an entirely different thread to hash that one out dude . Lets skip it for now.
 

No. It just proves my point. We have to insist on a basis for our faith. Faith is insufficient.

I think the problem is you're looking at faith as a "community" thing instead of a "personal" thing. As I hinted at in my last post, ones faith is only unto oneself and is not meant to be projected onto others and become truth for them.

And faith is utterly sufficient - for the christian.
Romans 1:17
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

We can begin by having a Bible that is an authentic to an objective observer as an encyclopedia. We don't have that if we forget about theology (where faith is fine) a bit and go into the Bible's historicity. If you read my response to Chukwudi44 you will get a glimpse of what I mean.

But in the truest sense of the phrase, is there such a thing as an "objective observer"? Let him that is without bias, cast the first stone.

Since you agree that people of non-Christian faiths also have faith, and you do not believe they can be right at the same time as Christians, you will agree that faith can mislead us. So an objective observer, one who has no faith in anything, looking at the religions ought to be able to spot some solid truths which will lead him to faith. That is why I do not accept that we can ever use faith as a starting point.

I absolutely agree with that - depending on what/who/why the faith was placed in/on something. Its a very strong point.

Will get the movie you speak of asap! Thanks.

Please do. I think it will help lubricate this discussion immensely. There was the man of faith, the "objective observers" who thot the man to be crazy for doing what he was doing and there was the man who abused the "faith" unto his own end. And we see an experience was his starting point, and a faith borne out of that experience was what carried him unto an end that proved true.

imhotep:
Hmmmmm. . . good idea. . . I do not really think that a NL thread can capture the heart of the experience.
It was so intense and protracted. . . for instance, because I eventually lived among them, visitors also began to avoid me whenever they came around. . .thinking I had become one of them.
It was a revealing and PURIFYING experience for me to be treated as a leper a couple of times. I myself began to be fear whether I had contracted the disease. . .but eventually I did not care whether or not I had contracted it . . . a very liberating carefreeness.

I am planning to include the story in one of my long reflections.

It may not "capture the heart of the experience" but it may give us a small glimpse perhaps? I know it would be a welcome diversion from the usual MOG and Philosophical gymnastic threads. Even if one learns, it will be worth it so I hope you do it at some point .
