Bob, do you even read anything? Perhaps a dictionary or encylopedia might be a place to begin. Or, some history books? Or Literature? <BR>I could suggest many that would both enlarge your vocabulary and depth of knowledge of which you seem peculiarly amiss.

You're welcome anytime to share whatever is on your mind, civil or otherwise. You might start by answering a simple question posed to you here and on other of my posts.

Bob, since you seem to really love questions, here are some for you: <BR> <BR>What was the last book you read? <BR> <BR>That should be a rather simple question; that is if you know how to read.
Offline
Bob, <BR> <BR>How many books have you read in the past 12 months (not including comic books)? <BR> <BR>Name them and the author. <BR> <BR>Give a short snyopsis of he contents of each.

Mine first, since you have avoided it longer and Neal has already asked the questions of me in the last two of your posts. And that is not the current issue.
Offline
The issue is civility and how people stand up for each other, not your or my bibliography. There is a point and you are evading it and I believe you and John both know where the question and answer leads. PLEASE answer the question and I will remove the signature quote. Otherwise it stays.

It has a lot to do also about pressure put on others by groups of "friends" or "peers" rather than the logic or true seeking of truth. So, just answer the question, eh???

Elaine, as you and John are trying to protect you and you are evading the questions asked of you, notice what I found as I wandered your more frequented territory: <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>Elaine, <BR> <BR>I give you an A++ in having the capability to find fault with anything that moves under the sun. Absolute expert. Astounding.

Do you mean you want to get back to agreeing with Elaine and Neal and that comfy feeling of atheist/agnostic doubt and skepticisim. Tell you what, John, I'm going to take that question down right now. But if I see the unfairness that previously existed on the board, it goes back up. That means standing up when it's unpopular to do so, not just because you're buds but because it's the right thing to do.

Bob Sands, <BR>Grow up! What on earth does it matter to you whether Elaine or anyone else has read the Bible through, cover to cover. Anybody can do that who has passed junior high. To understand what one is reading is quite another thing.
Offline
Where were you Sirje when I was being mocked with the same question. The point, to draw you a picture, is about civiilty and peer pressure. It's not all as simple as the last post, Sirje. <img src="http://www.atomorrow.net/discus/clipart/blush.gif" border=0>

Bob, <BR>You are lecturing people on civility?
Offline
Yep! And plan to continue to as people violate it with insults to those seeking truth, to those that pressure others to accept man's thinking rather than God's. If you don't like it, I guess you'll have to read around it.

There are limits to civility: <BR> <BR>1. Just remember rule number one from the Book of Swayze: <BR>"Be nice, until it's time not to be nice." <BR> <BR>2. Confucius says #1 rule for civil discourse: <BR>"Never get in farting contest with skunk".

Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse came to town where civility was unknown, where the town thug, Brad Wesley was uncivilized. Patrick's character was always up against him. As he took over a drinking establishment that was known for it's rough crowd, Patrick meets with his crew and fires some of them on the spot who had been outright cheating their employer, Patrick's boss. But one rule as he cleaned up this establishment, take the fight outside whenever possible so as not to break up the furniture and make people feel uncomfortable and the he said "be nice". He got puzzled looks from the crew until he explained, there were going to be people that would not let you be nice. "When will that be." Patrick said, "I'll let you know." As the movie moves on, you begin to see the types that won't ever be civil but have their own agenda. <BR> <BR>Patrick tries to be nice even to the town thug but he would have nothing but total control, that is when Patrick has to show when it's OK "not to be nice." <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Bob_2 on June 24, 2009)
