    Watch out v, you're treading on thin ice: "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God", Psalms 14: 1 :)

    Just goes to show you that life is funnier than any joke! I remember that case, many years ago, where the judge, while challeging the defendent why he (the defendent) was reneging on his signed confession, was told to look carefully at the signature - and it read: "Theybeatit Outofme". :) :) :)

    Political Humor An ounce of truth is worth a ton of campaign promises, but it takes a ton of campaign promises to get an ounce of truth. Some political candidates campaign on an intellectual level, and some campaign on an emotional level, but none of them are on the level...

    Jokes 2

    Business Humor Contrary to popular belief, people don't pay much attention to those little name-tags you wear at conventions. I wrote "Saddam Hussein" on my last one, and only one young lady even noticed. She asked me if I ever played for UCLA? A typical young female executive...

    Church Humor I think I could be a better Christian if I could see just one miracle--like maybe (Ted Koppel's) hair mussed up. Teaching Sunday School is hard--especially when a 6-year-old says to you, "Okay, if Jesus was so cool, why didn't he wear Reeboks instead of those...

    You are totally wrong, v, sorry to say. Science is just another religion, based on the premise that practical logic and its connection to the surface of our mind is more relevant to our lives than feeling, intuition and inspiration connected to our higher mind, our moral compass. Humans...

    More Wisdom Of The Ages A sharp nose points to curiosity. A flattened nose indicates too much curiosity. :) :) :)

    I Am, You are saying something that I don't quite understand, although I am well versed in Christian Theology. God is beyond time and space, but He gave those dimensions to us creatures to live with and gradually improve ourselves. Time and space dominate our environement, not God's. The...

    So, where do you live, I? In this country of abroad? Down the street from me perhaps?

    I often hide the part that I am from New Jersey - prefer to say New York or Virginia. The Europeans love me :)

    Comment on: Navy Seal Throws Himself on Grenade In Iraq: Posthumonously Awarded Medal

    Many see the conflict there as justified war against terrorists to keep Iraq free, led by the democratically elected Iraqi government, and the casualties as the price to pay for freedom, don't you?

    Lots of unsupported opinions in your message above, Intel. I think we, Americans, always want to help others, all the time, everywhere, but you disagree. I also think that many folks around the world are competing with us for wealth and power and disguise that as disapproving our actions...

    There was a link to youtube or another website with a country song about Obama's grandma comment, but I seem to have misplaced it. Does anyone know it? TIA.

    Our Armed Forces are composed of volunteers - why do people enlist? My son doesn't want to go in that direction, thank God. Many members of the police get killed every year too, and he doesn't want to be a policeman either. But, deep down, imo, our Armed Forces and Police groups have a very...

    I'm not the one who's calling priorities, our elected Government believes that they chose right. North Korea is a big problem too, but, apparently, not so pressing. Iran may come first. Wrt Saudi Arabia, they have a cruel system but the vast majority of their people seem able and willing to deal...

    Helping those in need is always everybody's business. We did what we did based on the best information that was available to us, eg, from the UN, the CIA, the British Intelligence, Saddam's terrible history, and, admittedly, our own paranoia after the 9/11 event. I personally am against all...
