I’d have to disagree.
I believe you’re a very moral person.
Got a problem w/that?
RA:
we gotta a problem, here?
huh, we gotta problem, here (explitive deleted)?
…i don’t know if you get the reference…maybe i am too young.
now, that is a difficult thing to explain to theists…i have morals, but they think i don’t because i don’t put faith in (to qoute al pacino) an absentee landlord.
oh well, that is why i read these posts.
podry:
That’s a reference to old ‘Tricky Dick’, ain’t it? The Watergate tapes?
Absentee landlord? Wasn’t that in the ‘Devil’s Advocate’?
Not 1 of Pacino’s best, by far.
You’re a good man, podry. I don’t care what phreedm says about you.
Come to think of it, I don’t really care what he says about anything.
That’s okay. You got my vote.
sadly enough, the first quote is from “boyz in the hood”
i believe it was ice cube who uttered such unforgettable lines…
yes, the second quote was pacino in “devil’s”…remember, anytime that you pair the one “neo” with a great actor like pacino, something has to give.
i appreciate your support…i love reading your posts.
podry:
Yer not too young. I’m too old. Course, never saw the movie in question.
Never cared much for Keanu. He was hysterical in ‘Dracula’.
Right back atcha. Better stop there, or everyone’s gonna think we got a mutual admiration society going.
Speaking of which:

That article you posted about the man joining a church for “political reasons” kinda ticked me off. He seemed to think that it might be a good idea to infiltrate churches and challenge their beliefs.
I think he took a cowardly course. We need more atheists to declare themselves as atheists if they are running for office. If they don’t feel comfortable “coming out” at least DON’T join a church!

The Boy Scouts article was good. I especially liked the quote
“What the California Supreme Court said was that private clubs can discriminate, but the taxpayers don’t have to fund that discrimination,” said Berkeley City Attorney Manuela Albuquerque.”
Off topic but the Boy Scouts in Berkley LOST big time
