Okay, you caught me, Angel. I did see his point. It was the same point people always try to make when they have to foundation from which to offer debate. The same "point" you and Michael continually post to the thread. It's standard fare for people with no relevant information to represent their side of the issue. They try to find something they know offends the other side and they continually throw it directly into their face. I would think debating the issue might be a bit more constructive, but when you have nothing with which to demonstrate that your side of the issue has merit, it's always acceptable to degrade the thread with useless comments. That is, it's acceptable if you're on the side of the majority. But as Mark Twain said, "When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
People don't seem to be much good at that and never have been from what history shows us. The majority has often been wrong and yet those first few free thinkers are always ridiculed and debased at the hands of members of the majority who seem to feel that sharing in majority opinion protects them from the need to analyse the information.
I guess the world must be flat, we live in a geocentric universe and smoking isn't harmful after all. These things must be true. They were declared and defended as such by the majority for years.
What is your argument for a geocentric universe; "I see stars."?
For not wanting to lose my membership here and not to stoop to your level I am going to bite my tongue on what I REALLY want to say....so I will keep this simple for you so I can live up to what you think I am ...and yes I am VERY simple minded and darned proud of it! Ok, you want me to represent my side do you???? Here goes....are you ready for this?????
I LOVE BEEF, I LOVE PORK, I LOVE CHICKEN, I LOVE SEAFOOD....I LOVE MEAT!!! As for merits, ummm my tastebuds are watering right now thinking about MEAT!!! What is my argument for the gocentric universe?? ....ummm I have no clue what it even means, am I going to take the time to study so I can be as "SMART" as you...(oh and I use that term VERY loosely)..no I am not because I have children to take care of, a sweet husband that I love with all my heart, a beautiful ranch filled with livestock, and a nice new home and beautiful yard to keep myself plenty busy and can sleep at the end of the day peacefully knowing I love Jesus. Yep that keeps me pretty busy, so I will have to pass on being as "SMART" as you and just live my SIMPLE little life here in the stix. I think I will live much longer than most because my stress levels are awesomely low...oh is awesomely a word???....oh who cares, if it is not I am sure you will let me know! Alrighty then pardner you keep reading them books, scanning the internet and keep shooting those BIG words at people when you disagree with them. I am sure it is really healthy for your brain and I cannot help but wonder if you actually give your life the simple pleasures?? And NO I am not talking about eating meat, I would hate for it to be wasted. I am talking about life in general.
Good evening
Still praying....angelnstix

P.S. ANYONE ever eat snake meat?? We killed a rattlesnake here in the yard tonight...I hear it tastes like chicken...lol. Myself I cannot stand the squirmy creatures, funny how after you cut their heads off they lay there and squirm for hours.
P.S.S My days are filled with excitement, never a dull moment out here, we got lots of laughs, lots of sweet moments to cherish with these kids and the best thing of all is the peacefullness, one day in town will last me a long time. That's what is great about the internet, you can shut the puter off and go back to my reality...my reality of my family and I am so blessed.
