wavydaby & Carlene:

I just wanted to get your (respective) Goats with my North/South remark.

[Tired_Old_Man 1]

A fellow Brooklynite was appalled when I told him I was moving to Florida.

He told me "those people are stupid down there", and he even told me that there is a name for them; "Floridiots".:violin:

Well, he has been proven right. :croc:

But, 90% of the people I have met in Florida come from "Up North", Cuba or Mexico. :frusty:

[Wheetsin 714]

I'm a west coasterner turned midwesterner and I've never heard either phrase. Well, until now, obviously.

[Carlene 12]

“My old washing machine, he’s given up the goat,” he said, in a broad Gloucestershire accent.

Yep...just as I suspected - a Yankee. In the South he would have said, "My warshin machin's done give up the ghost."

[BJean 16]

Carlene: That may be a way that most southerners would say it, but if you're from the southwest and live out in the toolies, you would probably say, "Muh danged ole warshin' machine done went un giv up the ghost!"

My Attorney

After living what I felt was a "decent" life, my time on earth came to the end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a courthouse. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the "prosecutor." He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil pe rson I have ever seen. I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.

The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes. He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room. I couldn't take my eyes off of Him. As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, "Let us begin."

The prosecutor rose and said, "My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell." He proceeded to tell of lies I told, things I stole, and in the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank. I was so embarrassed, I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins even I completely forgotten about. As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all. I know I was guilty of those things, but I did some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part

Satan finished with a fury and said, "This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise."

When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward. As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty. I reali zed why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior.

He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, "Hi, Dad," then He turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying this man sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished."

Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, "However, I died on the cross so this person might have eternal life and he accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine."

My Lord continued with, "His name is written in the Book of Life and no one can snatch him from Me. Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy."

As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said,"There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all."

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips... "This man is free The penalty for him was already paid in full. Case dismissed"

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, "I won't give up, I will win the next one."

I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, "Have you ever lost a case?" Christ lovingly smiled and said, "Everyone that comes to Me and asked Me to represent them, received the same verdict as you, "PAID IN FULL."

[Tired_Old_Man 1]

Is that part of the Bible or do you use the name of Jesus in vain?

[BJean 16]

I am sure that story is a big comfort to you, Ron.

It is very sad to me to see someone who chooses to believe in a god who administers mercy to such a tiny percentage of human souls. The god in this story offers mercy only to those very few who meet criteria that the majority of humans could never possibly meet because those humans never heard of the game or the rules. Under the plan set forth in this story, the vast majority of humans would always fail to attain gods mercy simply because they never even heard about the alleged on true path to gods mercy. A god of that type is unfair, cruel, heartless, and arbitrary.

If I were god I believe I would have little patience for any person who reached the conclusion that my nature could possibly unclude this level unfairness and cruelty. I would have much greater esteem for any human who used his or her capacity to reason in order to see that god loves all and offers mercy to all.

[BJean 16]

You know Mark, I've thought a lot about your theory that God expects us to reason through all of this and that's what he's looking for from his children. I think you have something there! It makes entirely more sense than much of the other "religious" bunk being trotted out and called the "truth."

subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2)(a) registrant who has failed to

Bill Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1,

INELIGIBLE!

Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice

under Public Law 90-40.

Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a

Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21,1977, from President

Carter.

Bill Clinton FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President

of the United States .

All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public

laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been refuted

by Clinton .

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised

that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S.

military personnel Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted

down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia , which killed 19

and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those

responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa , which killed 224

and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted

down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39

U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down

and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in

New York and Washington, DC that are now dead would be alive today.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION:

This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in show. Without

casting stones, it is a legitimate question.

There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One develops relatively

cheap software and gives billions of dollars to charity.

The other sponsors terrorism. That being the case, why was it that the

Clinton Administration spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the

eight years in office, than Osama bin Laden?

THINK ABOUT IT!

It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for her forth

coming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written.

This from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall

anything about past events while under oath.

Sincerely,

Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN (ret)

[BJean 16]

What a load of poppycock. Who are these people and why are they participating (authoring) such hate? Is this the same guy who attacked Kerry's military records? The "Swift Boat" terrorists? Why can't they ever get over the fact that Bill Clinton was elected for 2 terms to the Presidency of the United States and that many, many Americans love his politics? Nothing they say or do now is going to take away from the really good job he did as President.

Besides, if it is a pissing contest you want to get into regarding our Presidents' military service, I'd think you Bushyheads would want to back off pretty quick from this topic!
