I can't call you DS anymore because a DS is fun. If only there were some type of produce I could reference that has a dramatically darker covering on the outside of it's pale pulp.
Anyway, that isn't what I came here to say. You're bizarro KreeL now. It was a slow process, though steady. It's almost a sad thing, except you were a dick either way. The highlight of the sight is apparently our world-class clown. Clown? If only there were some type of horrible, evil clown I could reference... |

Um, ok. Whatever you feel you got to say.
I don't really dislike you though. You just take politics over seriously and apply your angst in that to everywhere else. I'm able to joke around with most everyone here and they with me, and very few agree with me politically on most issues, but you seem to really have a bug up your ass about it and barely mask your constant contempt and anger. You need to learn to lighten up and not take everything so personally. If I've come off as a dick sometimes, it's not usually intentional. I'm fairly adamant and unapologetic when it comes to my politics, but I leave it there. |

Yeah I disagree with DS as much as the next guy (except I probably swear more while doing it) but he's cool otherwise.
Also pretty much any produce could be described as having "a dramatically darker covering on the outside of it's pale pulp" but whatever. |

QUOTE Yeah I disagree with DS as much as the next guy (except I probably swear more while doing it) Heh, I think I've heard you sometimes! I think Acow , JLord and Seb were the only ones that have ever actually made me cuss out loud, because they usually give such lengthy but fairly thorough responses.

Jesus tits in a mason jar! What's up with all the nice-nice in FW these days? Buncha cuddly fluffy Care Bears up in this piece.
(DS, you do come off as a dick. Often. I don't take it as personally as you might think. But if I've only got so much time in a day my greatest entertainment margin is to be found in poking the most smug douche with a pointy stick.) (And it's mostly the VLMC tinfoil hat business these days. You back up exactly as many of your assertions as KreeL does. If the foil fits...) |

Ok I'll concede starfruit and grapefruits. But bananas, oranges, mangos and plums are all darker on the outside. (IMG:http://www.willbryson.co.uk/photos/indoors/plum.jpg) And when you throw in apples, pears, strawberries, jcrow, et cetera, it becomes clear that the vast majority of fruit are darker on the outside. Q.E.D. |

what is currently bothers me about DS is his christianity is so profoundly unintellectual. the church basement crowd i cannot stand. I have many Christian friends; predominately catholic. And what strikes me is they take an active interest in the framework and coherence of their belief. DS does not.
_____ which brings me to think about why catholicism has become the intellectual arm of christianity. It really doesn't make so much sense, since its hiearchial structure allows for a narrow range of interpetations, and demands extreme specialization (to teh exclusive of many, many worldly pursuits) in order to move its orthodoxy. But as i thought about it, so does academia. The problem with protestantism is exactly that is it 1. originalist (fundementalist by nature) and 2. lacks a overarching form of peer review and structure. Without a power structure, truth is completely lost and intellectualism and rationality gives way to snake handling and such rubbish. I guess, truth is essentially undemocratic. Hrum.

DS has a serious psychological complex in which he feels that if he changes his stance on an issue, he is somehow less human or that he has betrayed his morals. The result is that he comes off as just another idiot who puts ideology before reasoned thought. He is the conservative version of Jcrow, if you will.
