New & would like to meet people.

I see you got the degreeinfo.com official welcome.

You are doing a fashion design program by DL? I think you are the first around here in a program like that. Welcome aboard and best of luck.

 

going for the jugular?

 

Hey crazie8chck,

Welcome to the board ! There are some great people here, don't let them scare you away .... This place is the nexus for DL on the web. I am 26 and also from MA and am taking several DL programs right now. Good luck with the fashion design !

 

Yeah, OK

Exactly. The point was so you'd know how it felt. Sorry you
missed it.

This was a pretty good comeback to try to cover your simple spelling error in typing my handle. I didn't give you enough credit for being so witty.

I'm not however, going to let you weasel out of it by attemping to make ME out to be the one who missed what you call your attempt at sarcasm and irony. Admit it, you misspelled my handle.

As I wrote............Whatever!!!!!! You can spell my name whatever way you want and it won't ruffle MY feathers the way I obviously did yours.

 

Re: Yeah, OK

The sort of assumption that you'll learn, the hard way, to stop making if you spar with me around here much longer, Sparky.

I now wish I'd put the misspelled part of it in bold/red like I was tempted to do at the time. Then there would be no doubt.

You don't know me... nor, at this point, am I particularly interested in any change in that status. But if you did, or if you ask the people around here who aren't idiots and who do, you'll find that I've never lied about a single thing here ever... or most anywhere else, for that matter.

If I screw-up, I wear it... as a simple search on my username, and a long enough read of my posts here, will clearly show. I'm way past being too ashamed of a mere typo to own up... as you will be too, one day... when your pimples dry up.

That you insist that I would not own up to such a silly and inconsequential mistake (that I didn't even make... see: projection) says more about you and your emotional maturity than it does about me and mine.

So... are you about done yet, Mr. Strip-out-all-the-VB-code-so-no-one-can-tell-where-the-quoted-part-ends-and-your-new-words-begin? Can we move on to something more substantive now?

 

OK

You are really funny.

Now I and the rest of the board are supposed to be afraid of you simply because you found an opportunity to use a stab at sarcasm to cover your tracks?????????

Give me a break. And what is this Sparky reference? It makes you sound like you wear a pinky ring, a fedora and call women
" Baby " Don't be childish.

And................( Yes I did this to piss you off ) you are rambling again.

Your ball.

 

Oh I forgot

Your reference to my pimples which by the way I never had, even in high school was really mature.

 

I understand that some women like it when guys fight about them.

Re: Re: Yeah, OK

So what your saying is that anyone who doesn't take your word for everything that you say is an idiot?

You're sure not afraid to go around accusing someone you don't know from adam of being a nutjob, yet you get offended the moment someone starts making an assumption about you. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me.

The only thing a search on your posts here will show is that you have a record of rambling hours on end. Sure, maybe there is an interesting tidbit or two buried in those long posts, but who has the time or interest to bother reading thru the entire post(s) to find it?

You continue to get worked up over nothing, then you question someone else's emotional maturity? No offense, but I think you need a serious reality check.

 

I think she was scared away.....

 

Scared away

I think Des Elms was cared away too.

I know, I know, its childish but life's too short to take things so seriously.

Oh well, I had my fun with him while it lasted.

See ya next go round.

 

... uncle janko always has great one-liners

Welcome aboard ... this is a great site ... sometimes there is a bit of bashing and arguing. But there is also tons of GREAT information.

There are lots of smart people on this board ... and unfortunately not all are openminded enough to accept that sometimes people just have different opinions.

No. I just have a life when I'm away from here; and work to do; and sleep to get caught-up on. Silly me.

Too bad there's no vB code to dot the i's with hearts and smiley faces.



Res ipsa loquitur.

I do my best.

Hmm. Now who's getting "worked-up?"

Whatever happened to "whatever?"



As for Busho4's posting, though I tried to just leave it alone with my "I stand by everything..." response because, honestly, I don't want to argue with the guy after it seemed that he and I had earlier (elsewhere herein) established such a respectful agreement to disagree, my significant other read his posting and woke me up to kick my ass over not putting him in his place. She called you a "weasel," Busho4, ol' buddy. I tried to explain to her that being a weasel was the least of the things you probably were. But she's unconvinced. Sorry. Maybe next time we're in your neck of the woods I can buy you lunch so she can see that you're not a small carnivorous mammal with short legs and elongated body and neck.

Yeah... and that's actually one of the things that most got under her skin. She asked, and now I ask, precisely when have I done that here? Or anywhere? Rather, as but one piece of evidence to the contrary which I could produce, just before you wrote that, or perhaps even as you were writing it, I was finishing up this thread wherein I was helping a guy with the very sort of Christian school of which you speak. I certainly don't appear to be bashing his Christian school in that thread and, to the contrary, appear to be bending over backwards to help him both understand his situation and his opportunities, as well as the precise steps which he should take to seize upon them. Does that really sound like the kind of guy who bashes respectable Christian schools? Actually, in searching back through many pages of threads in which I've made posts, here, I'm unable to find anything even remotely similar to what you're talking about. Are you sure you're not mixing me up with someone else?

And conservatives don't?

Oh, really? If I listed a few publicly-funded federal and state programs of the present and the past -- many of them put together bi-partisanly but, admittedly, most of them put together by evil "lefties," -- which can be shown with overwhelming statistical evidence that they either flat-out save the lives of poor children, or they make their lives better and provide them with more opportunities to be healthy, happy, educated and tax-paying citizens, I'll bet you'd be against every last one of them. So it's "love the fetus, hate the child"... is that about it?

It might make sense, at this point, for me to ask where you stand on school vouchers, or universal healthcare for the poor (or just about anything for the working poor, now that I think about it), or the child tax credit, etc., ... but what would be the point?

At this writing, 157 prisoners who had been sentenced to death have since been freed (because it turned out they weren't guilty in the first place) by the Innocence Project and its affiliates. Even foes of those who make my kind of anti-death-penalty argument estimate that that 157 is almost certainly just the tip of the iceberg. Every last one of those wrongly-convicted prisoners, it is relevant to point out, got the very kind of "due process" of which you speak... and many of them would be dead today if things for them had gone your way.

Again you spin... in typical Republican, conservative, "twist the words into something not said and then assail them" fashion. I support a woman's right to terminate a fetus in the first trimester; which fetus would not be viable outside the womb in any case. That's quite a bit different than the way you worded it... to no one's surprise.

Incontrovertibly. What's most amusing, however, is the certainty with which you believe that that's something about which I should be ashamed, as evidenced by the deriding manner in which you've asked. Man... do we ever live in different worlds.

I am unapologetic about preferring that thousands of stone cold killers live out their lives in prison and die there of natural causes rather than "be hanged," as you so tellingly put it; and that millions of unwanted children be terminated in the first trimester rather than coming into a world where conservatives will make their lives miserable with their working-poor-hating, program-cutting, wrong-headed public policies. If you think there's any shame in that, then maybe you and I are praying to different Gods.

Good. I'm glad to see you're finally coming around. Er... oh... I'm sorry... you were being sarcastic. Okay for you, I guess... but when I do it, I'm a baby killer or worse. Sounds about right... in your world, anyway.

 

Gee Gregg, you should have hyperlinked the online diary for Chanel. I writing a term paper on SOX and need the diversion - lol.

 

My pal Gregg... keep bringing the ruckus!

DesElms: Too bad there's no vB code to dot the i's with hearts and smiley faces. Res ipsa loquitur.

Bush04: Res Ipsa is right. Talk about being a weasel. Keep bashing a 20 year old girl, and insulting her fashion career choice. That'll speak for itself alright.

DesElms: As for Busho4's posting, though I tried to just leave it alone with my "I stand by everything..." response because, honestly, I don't want to argue with the guy after it seemed that he and I had earlier (elsewhere herein) established such a respectful agreement to disagree, my significant other read his posting and woke me up to kick my ass over not putting him in his place.

Bush04: I like arguing and debating with you so keep it coming. However, the fact that your life partner had to convince you to respond, demonstrates to me that you are not capable of kicking anyone's ass, let alone mine. What if you refused to respond? Would she break out the whip? Or just ground you?

DesElms: She called you a "weasel," Busho4, ol' buddy. I tried to explain to her that being a weasel was the least of the things you probably were. But she's unconvinced. Sorry. Maybe next time we're in your neck of the woods I can buy you lunch so she can see that you're not a small carnivorous mammal with short legs and elongated body and neck.

Bush04: Your life partner called me a weasel? Shameful! And not very tolerant! I forgive her, though. Does she support baby murder (or fetus termination) just like you?

DesElms: Actually, in searching back through many pages of threads in which I've made posts, here, I'm unable to find anything even remotely similar to what you're talking about. Are you sure you're not mixing me up with someone else?

Bush04: The Oakbrook threads immediately come to mind. But, if I was mistaken, I sincerely apologize. I'll run a search on Liberty, Oakbrook, Bob Jones, Regents, etc. and see what comes up.

DesElms: And conservatives don't?

Bush04: We do! We just don’t brag about it. As far as I can tell, you attacked and insulted a 20 year old girl for no good reason. That’s not giving someone the benefit of the doubt, is it? Practice what you preach.

DesElms: It might make sense, at this point, for me to ask where you stand on school vouchers, or universal healthcare for the poor (or just about anything for the working poor, now that I think about it), or the child tax credit, etc., ... but what would be the point?

Bush04: I like school vouchers provided they can be used for both religious and non-religious schools. However, I don't support universal health care. Our financially challenged citizens will never be denied emergency treatment. And they can obtain medical assistance coverage through their state's welfare office.

We already have a great healthcare system. If you want to improve it, start with tort reform. Capping medical malpractice damages would be a great way to enhance the quality of health care in the United States.

How's the system working out in Canada, anyway? Our poor citizens probably get better care than most Canadians.

DesElms: At this writing, 157 prisoners who had been sentenced to death have since been freed (because it turned out they weren't guilty in the first place) by the Innocence Project and its affiliates.

Bush04: These projects show that that the system works. But if you want to improve the system, fix the process, don't change the penalty. I have always argued that a heightened burden of proof should be adopted for death eligible cases. I would support proof beyond a reasonable doubt for life in prison, and beyond the shadow of a doubt (or something similar) for death. There is no reason why a cold blooded murder, whose crime was caught on camera, should avoid the death penalty. When there is a good conviction based on strong evidence (dna evidence, for example), the death penalty is appropriate. It should be used with caution, but it is appropriate.

DesElms: Again you spin... in typical Republican, conservative, "twist the words into something not said and then assail them" fashion. I support a woman's right to terminate a fetus in the first trimester;

Bush04: I'm not doing the twisting, Gregg. Terminate a fetus? Are you joking? At least call it what it is... savagely ending the life of an innocent pre-born human being. A human with a heartbeat, and his or her own dna and blood type. Click here: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=abortion&ei=UTF-8&fr=slv1-bkt1&fl=0&x=wrt. Then tell me this isn’t human life deserving of our protection.

DesElms:I am unapologetic about preferring that thousands of stone cold killers live out their lives in prison and die there of natural causes rather than "be hanged," as you so tellingly put it; and that millions of unwanted children be terminated in the first trimester rather than coming into a world where conservatives will make their lives miserable with their working-poor-hating, program-cutting, wrong-headed public policies. If you think there's any shame in that, then maybe you and I are praying to different Gods.

Bush04: What a shame! In my humble opinion, your priorities are all wrong. Why should killers get to live while innocent babies die? You say the babies are unwanted. I disagree. There are plenty of people who would love to adopt a child.

Even if they were unwanted, though, that does not mean they should be "terminated" as you so tellingly put it. God loves those babies just as much as he loves us. They should be given a chance. Murders had their chance. They blew it!

Until our next rendezvous….
Still your pal.

Re: My pal Gregg... keep bringing the ruckus!

Hmm. There's and idea!

She's a first generation Filipina, raised Catholic, who either goes to (Lutheran) church with me on Sundays, or goes to one of three Catholic masses that she likes in the area... but, one way or the other, she doesn't miss church. We have a little Catholic iconic statuey sort of thingy on top of the bed's headboard; and she has some beads and a little cross hanging from her rearview mirror. At night, after retiring, she hits the "mute" button on the remote, closes her eyes, prays for every bit of five minutes, and crosses herself (the unmutes the TV, of course). She has said that if it were her fetus, she would be extremely unlikely to terminate it almost no matter what... said "what" being, for example, if she were a rape victim, and that sort of thing... and even then she's not sure. But she would never presume to tell another woman what she should do, one way or the other... which, of course, means that the choice would be hers... ergo, I suppose she's pro-choice, though she's never uttered that phrase and the word "me" in the same sentence.

Let me save you the trouble. I've never criticized Bob Jones or Regents or Liberty... even though they may or may not have deserved it. But I did say -- and I believe it was to you, in another thread -- something about Oak Brook graduating young lawyer who can then go become right-winged, conservative, pro-life lobbyists or some such thing as that; and I said so in a way that may have suggested that the guy who was asking about that school in that thread should not, therefore, go to Oakbrook. That, however, is not how I feel about Oakbrook. Their bar pass rates have always been impressive and if the study of law is all the student wants to get out of it, and can figure out a way not to get his/her head all turned around over the religious stuff, then Oakbrook would actually be a perfectly fine place to go. And even if one chose not to ignore the religious stuff and to immerse himself/herself therein as well, that would be okay with me, too. You assumed too much about my feelings about religious schools, generally, by that one remark. Sorry I didn't make myself clearer.

Ohgod... please. Not tort reform. That deserves its own thread... and not here, I don't think. I'm pretty sure Chip wanted us to take stuff like this over to the political thread... and I'm still trying to avoid chimin-in to the Christian hiring thread over there that Nosborne invited me to, but which I'm afraid if I do I'll become consumed. I'll say, without backing any of it up 'cause I'm just too tired right now, that the whole Bush43 tort reform thing is an abomination; and that you and he are just wrong. But could we agree to take that somewhere else, some time else? Please? It's too big; and you were correct in assuming that I'd have alot to say about it... or at least I presume that's why you mentioned it. But another time, okay? I'm moments away from retiring before midnight for the first time in weeks and I'm not gonna' screw it up over this.

Oh, please... you've got to be kidding.

Well, I'll admit... that's a start.

But it isn't. And therein lies at least one of the problems... along with the whole humanity of it all argument... which I've no time to go into now, but which I know you've heard and, no doubt, reject.

But which couldn't exist outside the womb no matter how much you wished for it and no matter what machines it got hooked-up to, etc. The line has to be drawn somewhere... you're just drawing it too early.

Ohgod... there's a guy down on Jefferson St. (in Napa) with an older, gray Chevy Impala (I think it is) who parks outside the Planned Parenthood offices and intimidates all the young women going in there with big signs with all kinds of fetus pictures, both in utero and all bloody and post-D-and-C, etc. And trust me, Busho4... he's most definitely insane. You don't really want to be an online version of a nutty dude like that, do you?

We've all seen these photos. It makes not one whit of difference. I know exactly how far along a fetus is at and/or before 12 to 14 weeks... and it doesn't change my opinion one bit.

Nice scare-tactic try, though.

Yes, you're right... because Judging Amy has just started and I'm trying to get caught-up on it now that NYPD Blue is gone on Thursday nights. Yet I sit here, still debating with you.

And this is the part I've been waiting to get to since I started this reply...

Oh, please! There are tons of children in the system waiting to be adoped. But they're black or brown or formerly crack-addicted or too old for all the lily-white people you cite who would just love to adopt a child. Gimmee a break!

You wanna' overturn Roe v Wade? Fine. If so, a law should be passed requiring all those who wanted it that to adopt one of the babies whose fetus would otherwise have been terminated in the first trimester under the law as it exists today. Put up, or shut up.

They are, okay? Let's at least stay within the realm of fact on this matter.

Oy. Where to begin.

I've now missed all of Judging Amy up to the first commercial break. I hope you taped it and will send it to me. I'm going now. But... you know what... you're right... I do kind of like debating with you.

Just... another time, okay?

Seeyalaterbye.

 

Re: Re: My pal Gregg... keep bringing the ruckus!

Well, we agree on something. Matlock and Judging Amy are two of my favorite shows. I watch them on Hallmark daily. I can't stand Tyne Daly, though!

 

So she sounds like she's 19. What's your point? That you like tracking down 19-year-old girl/women on the internet?
