I'm all for it. I know I lost points in an OB class due to using words the FOB Asian TA didn't understand (she'd come to class talking about how exciting it was to learn a new word...one time it was "apprehensive"). I had a Rumanian Professor for Prob. & Stat...you couldn't understand her at all, though I got an A- in that course by teaching myself everything from the book.

I do occasionally. Those people need the money, and I always appreciated the tips when I was at Qdoba (I got more tips than anyone...heh). At Starbucks, the people there try to build good customer relatonships, and so I'd do my part by tipping...often generously. They give me so many free drinks that it is totally worth it...I KNOW I've come out ahead!

I never thought about it that way...but I think you may be onto something...

Yea bugs the $h! outta me too. I mean, yea, everyone is a sinner, blah blah blah, but it just draws more attention to it when you're talking about it all the time...and it really is hypocritical since the peson who is quietly living it never has to answer to any calls of doing anything different than what he's been preaching...

Heh, you have radioactive abs...

i love this girl...

So true. Loves it!

I think he's going more for the "don't tell me, show me" or "actions speak louder than words" bit. Correct?

Except Cadillac has gone on record with it, not only in the press, but when specificaally asked this question in their Vision magazine.

Exactly...and part of that obligation is to be respectful and to refrain from making snide comments.

Yes, but free of her own sin.

SKY is a lot smaller than Tigra. I believe Tigra is Astra-based?

No, as I just posted before, Cadillac officially calls it the B-Series Luxury Sedan, the C-Series Touring Sedan, S-Series Touring Sedan, D-Series Touring Sedan and X-Series Luxury Roadster."Biarritz" is an unwieldy name that was last used on the Eldorado of the late 70s/early 80s.

I think Astra Vectra and Tigra would be the logical ones for US. Meriva and Corsa wouldn't fit Opel's positioning, no point with Zafira if we get OUTLOOK, the others are just not suitable for Saturn or the US market in general. Of course, Tigra is the only one we aren't getting as of now.

I could be wrong...I mean I haven't been to seminary or anything...but I've always been given the impression the virginity was when she had Jesus. That her virginity kept her pure for Jesus...but never said anything after. She DID marry Joseph. It pretty much IS a known fact there were children between Mary and Joseph, so I don't know why the Catholic Church would disagree with that...Hmmmmm I wanna know what NDL has to say on this.

Heh. Debating ADD/ADHD people is fun. You can derail their arguments by throwing a paper ball.

I'd like to, but CD/BP doesn't allow PMs. I therefore cannot send him PMs to keep things off the site.EDIT: It appears he's PM blocked me. No great loss there. Moving forward about RELIGION --------------------------- RE: RELIGION The idea is that Mary was such a pure woman and that God had chosen her to be the Mother of God, soshe had to be free of sin. This can make sense if you think that since God is eternal and does not function within constraints of time, he knew Mary was going to be the chosen women FOREVER. Therefore he guided her to be sinless and pure up through the birth of Jesus. Mary was a virgin up through then. I know nothing about the Church saying that she and Joseph had no further children...that seems pretty contrary to facts. According to Catholic doctrines, there would be nothing wrong with her having children with her husband Joseph.

No offense, but three users asked that the topic be steered back on course. So take it to PM.

Yea? What about it perplexes you? God impregnated Mary, hence her being a pregnant virgin.

Take it to PM.

Ugh...LIGHT JAZZ!

I hope you aren't riding it around naked this time...:AH-HA_wink:

Not too hard...you always have to perv a thread up. He's right. Back to the original topic.----------- I think being able to see multiple sides is a sign of maturity. You know, like that saying that says maturity is the ability to see the black and white are really varying shades of grey. The only time this ever works against me is when debating a fanatic, as they will pick up a conceded point and then use that as AH-HA!! I'M RIGHT!! When the rest of their thesis is very, very flawed. Otherwise, this makes you a great debator and writer.
