[quote]LB mentioned once that she liked to throw out little tidbits of information just to see how other people react. Said it was entertaining. Like a laser pen and a cat. [/quote]
-------->>> Some of the debates/discussions aren't entertaining to you? You've never thrown out a statement, whether you are really that 'vested' in it or not, just for discussion/debate? Have I? Absolutely. Never said I didn't.
Have I ever said NO ONE here is my friend? Umm.. perhaps as a throwaway comment MEANING that in the GRAND SCHEME of things, with the exception of one person I know in person, and a couple of others that I would LIKE to know in person, no.. I don't "know" the vast majority of you, and our paths in real live would likely never cross. So, do I "care" whether you "like" me per se? Not really.
Now, as I said, there ARE a couple of exceptions to that. Obviously, I'm extremely close with one poster here. They are basically family to me, and I'm pretty sure that feeling is mutual. There are a couple of other posters who I also feel very close to, Arden being one of those people. And yeah, Arden knows me well enough to know, that yeah, I'll throw stuff out there as a.. conversation piece.. of sorts. Never said I didn't, wouldn't ever deny that I do :) Nor do I deny the "friends" comment; however, I do feel it's being taken out of the context in which it was said.

I see the entertaining part. I don't see what that has to do with the question I asked Sherron, about a comment Sherron made. Maybe you are qualified to answer for her, I don't know either of you well enough to know if that is the case.
She made a comment about friends. You answered with, entertaining.
I find myself being entertained here. If I didn't I wouldn't come back. I spend zero hours at sites that fail to entertain and interest me. I think most people feel the same way.

True, I wasn't around when cavemen were.. otherwise.. DAYUMMMM I'm lookin' gooooooood ;)
Seriously though, we DO know cavemen existed. We know by artifacts, drawings, etc. Just like we know the mammals that lived at that time, which are now extinct.
Long debate short (no offense and I appreciate us having a civilized discussion about, truly I do!), I have studied evolution.. specifically. It was actually the third class in a rather interesting series of classes, chosen strictly by chance on my part, but which flowed REALLY well in terms of the nature of man, the beginnings of western civilization and then evolution.
I actually wrote an excellent paper on God, religion, and the importance on civilization.. while debating the actual existence OF God. If you study all the pieces, know the bible, and put it all together.. logically.. the argument makes absolute sense. And it's pretty much documented by history. My theory being, as man evolved,and moved away, through becoming "civilized", his own inherent goodness (the first, natural instinct of animals/man is to protect, it was only when they began to congregate in "societies" that coveting became an issue, and the inherent goodness was somewhat lost in the translation) and through that loss, and through the building of a group society, a.. return.. to that goodness.. through "regulation" has to be instilled. In comes "religion". How do you enforce people behaving in a society that is new? Who defines who is better than someone else? Hmm... So, you create an all-knowing, all powerful entity and THEY set the rules (the Ten Commandments let's say). And voila! It's not a person, or a government necessarily that's enforcing, it's this "entity".
I did a tremendous amount of writing on the concepts through all 3 classes in question. It's funny out of my whole collegiate "career", I got the most enjoyment out of those three, taken in succession. Fascinating material and for an agnostic.. looking to sway one way or the other... the classes were definitely enlightening to say the least. Definitely swayed me more to the "atheistic" side than the believing side for sure.

"-------->>> Some of the debates/discussions aren't entertaining to you? You've never thrown out a statement, whether you are really that 'vested' in it or not, just for discussion/debate? Have I? Absolutely. Never said I didn't."
No. You said you find it amusing to say one or two little things, whether you mean them or not, wind people up and up and whhhhirrrrrrrrr... that you do it just to test what people do, for your entertainment.
"Have I ever said NO ONE here is my friend? Umm.. perhaps as a throwaway comment MEANING that in the GRAND SCHEME of things, with the exception of one person I know in person, and a couple of others that I would LIKE to know in person, no..

No. You were very specific about defining friends and acquaintances, who you really know and can trust. You created the box and even tried to make other people's friendships fit in that little box you made up. Unless you've met them, socialized, spent time with their kids, traveled to see each other, and a few other criteria... they are only acquaintances and not people you really know, because anyone can lie and hide things in conversations.

"We"? I don't need to push anything... I know what you said, and so do you. You want to try and justify your ugly words and shift blame, when anyone with any character would recognize that what you have said is unjustifiable. You have used my daughter, her mental health issues and her mistakes, for your personal attacks on me... you are the village biatch who chose to use a child you have never meant and who, by your own definition, you don't even know, as your own personal "personal shove it up my ass ram". And then you want to claim victim status, that you only did because I rammed first? Tell me, pm. What have I said to you that you felt warranted to use my child like that, to compare my daughter to Casey Anthoney? Who has chosen to be the cvnt here?

Paging Sadie...you need to return to this thread so we can talk about your SD messing up her life again. This thread has been hijacked by a Catfight.

Hmmm. I believe the attacks on MY child started first. She was, what? THREE at the time? Please.
