It can be, yes. I can always choose the back or the front of the hand.

No, it's only bullying if she breaks an arm.

I just can't see you as a bully. You're more like a torpedo. If you get sent out it's for a damn good reason.

As for Rep, I Rep all the newbies. I like to be everyone's first Tongue
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Wish I could have met someone like you 45 years ago.


But I see Apo more as a cute little kitty to pick up and cuddle with. (If you're lucky, you'll escape with your eyes intact.)

I'm only replying so that this picture can appear 3 times consecutively in the thread.

Now I need to go lie down for a while.

Absolutely.

You'll have to excuse me, I have a personal matter to attend to.

Well all good quotes must come to an end, and this seems appropriate somehow.
