I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- unless he purposely shut the eyes of his mind and keep them shut by force.

Steelers have the best road record in the league. In the last 2 seasons they're 18-3 on the road. Broncos are good but if the Steelers come ta play like they did against the Colts aint nobody gonna beat 'em. Broncos could win but they will have to have a good game and the Steelers will have to play poorly for that to happen. The big game ?? Steelers over the Seahawks...I don't know...28-24 or somethin' like that.
Hey!...have fun and enjoy... :smile: :wave:

Man suffered attack when Steelers' Bettis fumbled
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Talk about a heart-stopping game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts.
Terry O'Neill, 50, of Pittsburgh, was watching the game at a bar and had a heart attack seconds after Jerome Bettis fumbled trying to score from the 2-yard line late in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger prevented the Colts' Nick Harper from returning the recovered ball for a touchdown and the Steelers hung on for a 21-18 win.
O'Neill said Bettis is his hero.
"I wasn't upset that the Steelers might lose," he told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I was upset because I didn't want to see him end his career like that. A guy like that deserves better. I guess it was a little too much for me to handle."
O'Neill, who was recovering at a hospital, credits two firefighters with saving him.
"The Steelers won the game and I'm still alive, so I guess I'm doing pretty good," he said.
He will have a pacemaker implanted to control an irregular heartbeat and he was prescribed medication to deal with the hypertension.
While he would like to go to the bar Sunday for the game against the Denver Broncos to thank the guys who saved him, O'Neill said, "I guess I should probably take it easy and watch the game at home."

The plans of true believers for our lives may well be better than our own when judged against some abstract official standard, but to deny people their personal struggles is to render existence absurd.

I gave my future ex son in law a Bengals tshirt for Christmass w/ a card saying "Here's that ass kickin' you got commin'"
What is this new loyalty? It is, above all, conformity. It is the uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of America as it is. It rejects inquiry into the race question or socialized medicine or public housing, regards as heinous any challenge to what is called the system of private enterprise, identifying that system with Americanism. It abandons evolution, repudiates the once popular concept of progress, and regards America as a finished product, perfect and complete. The concept of loyalty as conformity is a false one. It is narrow and restrictive, denies freedom of thought and conscience... What do men know of loyalty who make a mockery of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights?

Oh really? Everyone knows how YOU feel about slander, Carmie. Anyone who posts on fornits about anything other than real business like protests, if they are not telling Ginger to take the shit on survivors off the public internet, they obviously think it is great and condone it.
You're the lame one. You let all that shit stand, and we have several big protests coming up. Who can even talk to the media without being afraid THEIR name will go up on fornits attached to slander lies and so on? NO ONE.
No one is safe. Fornits perpetuates fear amongst survivors. One way to restrict free speech is through fear.
Guess who's paying Ginger to run a website like this?

::noway:: No, a few disturbed individuals perpetuated fear amongst a few of the survivors. If they were so concerned about upcoming protests they didn't help matters by targeting some of the very people that always seem to show up at those things.

Seriously, I think this person on a crusade here is a little off the wall, but anyone who has observed this website can tell you it is a free for all shooting gallery, anyone is fair game, and many innocent individuals have been hurt.

Obviously hit a nerve. Paranoid? Afraid it could/can/will happen to you? Well, maybe you should think about contacting the moderator and asking her to kindly moderate with respect to the personal dignity of survivors.

Actually, anybody who's ever bothered to read and comprehend the terms of use or the forum descriptions on the front index could tell you that too.
That it is wrong for a man to say he is certain of the objective truth of a proposition unless he can provide evidence which logically justifies that certainty. This is what agnosticism asserts and in my opinion, is all that is essential to agnosticism.

DF, here's one for your recipe book.
Hot toddy:
Heat almost to boiling w/ a half cu or so of apple cider w/ a couple of cloves in it. Let that stand and steep for a good long while, like 5 minutes till the cloves swell a bit. Take out the cloves (you can use them a few times), fill w/ water (warm again, if need be) Add a shot or more of good rhum. You can also add some cinnamon, allspice or other complimentary spices and flavors. The curative part is really the clove, the alcohol and the comfort and relaxation from breathing those spicy vapors.
One does not have to appeal to God to set the initial conditions for the creation of the universe, but if one does He would have to act through the laws of physics.
