    natty bumppo reacted to TBoneTX in Do you open your door to religious solicitations?   
    In response to the original question: I try to avoid answering the door at all, but the missionaries usually return. I finally told some particularly persistent ones (LDS) that Mrs. T-B. & I were firm in our faith, that I appreciated their dedication, and that their efforts would be better spent talking with other people. They replied, "Awesome -- thanks!" and they left.
    When non-LDS members come by and offer literature, either about their church or religion itself, I thank them for their interest, state that we're already firm in our faith, & politely suggest that their literature would be far more meaningful to other people.
    There's no need to be defensive or defiant, I've found, because these people all mean well, si man.

    natty bumppo reacted to Gary and Alla in Rush: Clyburn could be 'driving Miss Nancy'   
    Democrats cannot decide what they are...racists or sexists. They tossed Hillary under the bus where they think women belong (not in the back...UNDER the bus). Then they tried to get the black guy in Florida to quit so the White guy could beat the Hispanic and now they are going to kick out Nancy, and force the leading black member of congress to drive her care for her after they take away her airplane(s)
    I am getting sick and tired of the way Dems treat blacks AND women. C'mon, it is the 21st century! Women can vote and slavery is over...you LOST! Get over it! It is time to stop supporting slavery, segregation and opposition to even voting rights for blacks and women.
    LET NANCY STAY AS LEADER!

    Funny how you never share this same level of outrage, when illegal aliens kill Americans. Under that situation, it's basically a 'oh well, ###### happens - get over it' response from you.

    natty bumppo reacted to Pinocchio Liberal in California fiscal crisis   
    On stardate 5832.3, the USS Enterprise is in hot pursuit of the stolen spacecraft Aurora, which is heading into the dangerous Romulan Neutral Zone. The Enterprise locks onto the ship with a tractor beam, but the Aurora tries to flee. With the craft already straining with pushed engines, the vessel begins to break up.
    Captain Kirk orders the transporter room to lock on the passengers and beam them aboard immediately. As the Aurora explodes, the six humanoid passengers are safely brought aboard the Enterprise. Kirk heads down to meet with them and is shocked by their wild appearance. The six beings are barefoot, dressed in lavish robes and colorful tunics. Despite their close brush with death, they appear completely calm and relaxed as if nothing has happened.
    The group quickly shows a disrespect for authority and demands to be taken to a planet they call "Eden" (a reference to Garden of Eden). Eden's existence is believed to be a myth, however. The group refuses to cooperate with Kirk, calling him "Herbert", an insulting reference to a minor official of the same name, notorious for his "rigid and limited patterns of thought".
    The group is impressed by Mr. Spock, who understands their philosophy. Spock makes an oval "symbol of peace" hand gesture and simply says: "One." The group responds with the same gesture: "We are one." They ask Spock: "Are you One, Herbert?" Spock replies that he is not Herbert, and Adam declares: "He's not Herbert. We reach!" Having developed a respect for Spock's straightforwardness, the group agrees to go to sick bay for a medical examination. Medical scans reveal the party to be in good health, except for Dr. Sevrin, who is a carrier of the Synthecoccus Novae virus, which has been accidentally created by technological society. The disease is fatal to anyone who hasn't been vaccinated, but he nonetheless insists that the planet of Eden will somehow "cleanse" him, and that his group will build a new civilization, the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before. After interviewing him, Spock concludes that Sevrin is clinically insane.

    I have been studying, for college, the direct correlation between the filth we see on television and the way our language has deteriorated in general.
    Do you feel that language, poor language at that, has had an impact?
    Do you feel that people swear more now than they used to?
    Discuss! I'd appreciate the input.
    Now, #### off. <----------- an excellent example.
