Quite shockingly, here in Malaysia which has a mix of ol' Brit Empire Common Law tinged with an unhealthy dose of Sharia there was a recent survey...

It was discovered that over 87% percent of children here were underage.

Disgusting!

WHAAAAAT are you on about?

We're pretty welcoming to everyone.

Those who have welcomed you alreadt are pretty much representative of the majority of the board.

Whatever you mean by your kind,  I guarantee you'll find a welcome.

Woah! Careful there. She might be the kind that puts the teabag into the milk and then adds the hot water.

Bah. I have to explain to a whole new group of people what the dash is. Meh.

I was trying to be respectful...I mean, given the topic, as respectful as possible...I'll show myself out.  

Oh man. Now I’m curious.

Warning the best new member award requires some serious baby barbequeing skills

Too easy... we just marinate them in Fosters overnight, and bung 'em on the barbie next to the prawns.

You're fine, Anjele. I'm not planning on changing how I spell it just because I joined a new forum. I explained it to TTA, and I'll explain it to AF. It was going to come out one way or another.

Jews typically use a dash in place of the o in the word "God."

We're not afraid of typing out the word "God," and we don't think G-d is going to somehow be offended or send us to hell; we don't even believe in hell. It's not a sin to type the o, and I don't have to sacrifice a cow or say a special blessing to ask for forgiveness.

It's like a courtesy because the four letter Hebrew tetragrammaton should, according to our tradition, never be erased. But if you skip a letter, then you never used the tetragrammaton in the first place, so it doesn't matter if it's erased. We apply that logic to English even though "God" is only a representative of the tetragrammaton.

God^h^h^h God^h^h^h God^h^h^h

I'm glad that we have a Jew on this forum now. The Xtians here tend to forget that there are other religions and I've always made it a point to remind them that it's not a case of either being a Xtian or an atheist.

Gotcha.

I’m not gonna lie. I sometimes make fun of theists, if they’ve earned it. It’s hard to earn that in my book, and this doesn’t make the cut yet. I can be cool with your “kind”’until you get nasty about my “kind”, and oh man, I’m lots of kinds.


I was a theist once. I get it. My five best friends were atheists and they were never assholes to me. They should have, though. I earned it a few times. Lol

I'm not gonna lie, either.  I always make fun of theists.

They're assholes.
