sorry about tat in the futur i will try tyo appeal to your interest group as well. is this helping?

That's rather rude don't you think? Maybe PonysHorses doesn't like debating. Maybe she dislikes having people blather on about something. I didn't see anything in her post indicating that she didn't like proper spelling and grammar. To keep picking on Mellow's writing is a low blow. While you or I may have had perfect writing skills at that age that doesn't mean everyone does. I know people who are very bright but don't spell very well. Does that mean we tease them at every turn? Of course not. So you might do well to stop making yourself look bad by using Mellow's writing as a campaign issue no matter how jokingly you do it. It's getting old.

I wasn't suggesting you were mocking Jonathan. If you read Flyah's post you'll see what I was talking about.

Excellent post David O. You very nicely summarized what I was getting at.

It is not Mellow that is my quarry, but the entire misusage and cold blooded murder of the english tounge for which I am constantly crusading againts. However, I suppose my comments were a bit misplaced, and for that I apologize. Nothing againts you, Mellow.

The comment simply was meant to say that she was not voting for us, and the reason might have had something to do with the fact that perhaps our party is a bit more long-winded.

However, I am of the belief, firmly, that if someone wants to convey something, the should be willing to put time and effort into a meaningfull message.

I believe you meant "English," "tongue," "against," "against," and "meaningful," correct?

Hehe, I just had to do that. Couldn't resist, sorry.

lol, again.

Another point is that with this group, if we're debating something, you can pretty much take for granted that we will have wonderful thought provoking and insightful posts.

Now if Jared were here, we'd have to redefine long and add medium length as a category.

Touche'.

Laura Ingalls wrote:I disagree. It's not horrible as so many people make it out to be. My brother went there for his pre-med degree and my aunt is a teacher there. Sure, they have standards, and everyone looking at going there knows that. If they can't abide by those rules they can go somewhere else. But plenty of people appreciate their standards and like going to BJU.

And, President Bush did not "force them" to get rid of that rule. He spoke there one time while he was campaigning, the media heard of it, and proceeded to bash BJU. They brought attention to the old rule, and BJ agreed it wasn't right and got rid of it.

And we do have plenty of common sense, by the way.

I agree that it's not horrible- sure I totally disagree with the banishment of interracial dating, but they got rid of that rule. And though I probably couldn't wear skirts all the time, I can stick with only G rated movies (since I see so many bad movies everywhere these days), and I can stick with classical music since I'm a Bach music fan. Like Laura said- if you can't live with it, go to some different university.

I wonder if the new mayor will allow complaints about members who mostly post just to correct other people. That's not aimed at you Eugene since you post a lot about everything!

My roommate knows a guy who goes here. I feel very sorry for him. They even used to have a ban on interracial dating until President Bush forced them to get rid of it. I'm surprised they're still in business. You'd think people would have enough common sense to not go there...it's like everyone there is under house arrest. Much worse, actually.

I think Billy Graham whent there for a while and got his but out of there! thank goodness!

What are you talking about Chandler, regarding my post? Are you suggesting that I was mocking another's beliefs? I would appreciate a clarification.....thanks

I think she was referring to your post on the first page on how people were calling BJU people "crazy" and such...not that you were mocking.

Ok..

Yeah, I think she was agreeing with you.

Gotcha! Amazing! Incredible! (for you, Chandler! - -

Sorry if it seems like I've been critical of you lately. That's not my intention, really. To be honest you're someone I expect that all of us can look up to. You've got the maturity. So anything I say is just a suggestion to keep this board a happier, friendlier place, okay? Are you willing to shake on it?

Laura and Jonathan were correct... I was agreeing with what you said.

P.S. Great use of emoticons!

I had to push myself to use them. No problem. The only thing I can disagree with you about that last post is the ridiculous statement about me having the maturity! All right last time I use it...What would this post be without a smiley face playing a violin?

1 corinthians 11:1-16 sums it up (well some of it at least)
2I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings,[a] just as I passed them on to you.
3Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head–it is just as though her head were shaved. 6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. 7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.

11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. 13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice–nor do the churches of God.

You don't think you're mature? We can all see through that façade of yours.

Seems to me your're making some pretty strong inclinations to whom you think the new mator is going to be.
