meb,, i always warmed myself to your thoughts and how you showed certain blogs in order to make ppl
wake up and take a look around....... now, due to my respect for you, i have to ask if you have
read the book full of information beyond comparison to what mere humans can come up with?
have you? the secrets within are of far more importance than any military ones,, far
more important than those of politics in general, in fact, the secret of life is held tween the
lines.
shouldnt we first seek these out, before fussing about the mere stupidity of what man does with his
knowledge..... god forbid we think like gst.
faith is a word that repels most, yet if you understand its value, it out-weighs fort-knox a
quadtrillion zillion billion times,, but the price to pay for having it, is understanding it.

just my thought.

And which book "full of information beyond comparison" would you be
referring to,,, let me guess,, you think its the Christian Bible, so which
version is the correct one or is it the Jewish "Bible"...
Have you bothered to read the more ancient religious tomes of other
religions, or any other religious directive "manuals" {Bibles}. If not, then
you know less about man than you think, and certainly less about *man's
created* Gods... I have, here's the secrets, they are BOOKS and writings by
men attempting to explain the unknowns of the era and man's relationships.
Their value lay in the general direction towards man's need to be "nice" to
himself and his world, and the attempts to understand HOW to balance these.
The writings of *future views* related to man and this world {premonitions
if you must} hold more value. Many contain predictive writings, which were
written as religious based documents mearly to protect the author from
being subjected to the wrath of religious leaders and controls. THESE are of
more intrisic value to man; one, for study of these *abilities* in man; two,
for their content. One must always remember that religions WERE the LAW of
man during those religious periods, generally outweighing any other of man's
laws, and speaking and/or writing AGAINST the religion was death, stoning,
exclusion, or other, for.those those OUTSIDE the religion.
Unless YOU spend some time studying man's creations [all these historical
*religious* writings], weighing them against each other for "sense", value,
and against what man HAS discovered, you know nothing more than people did
three thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand years ago. Instead you have
something less, preconcieved notions based upon lack of knowledge and
ignorance. To say one religion IS THE ANSWER over others is ludicrous, that
isn't faith, that's reliance upon invisible "friends" and prejudice.

AFTER *YOU* study these tomes and writings, come back and seek me out..
perhaps we can have an intelligent discussion. Until then, keep your
religious meanderings in the forums devoted to them.

Re: Microsoft Sets Up Digital Manners Police

It was one of those blacklisted revolutionary films of the 1970's. cica 74
or 75. Another neat scene was when the president of this mess was 29 going
on 30 and he steps on the pet crawdad of some 13 year old...how the kid
looks up and sneers in pure hatred of the older generation knowing he is
gonna get his real soon.

Especially since all are very similar.

And believing without question that which (supposedly) more knowledgeable
people like parents and teachers/preachers tell you. Same for Santa Claus.

Nothing like plain stupid ignorance to lighten up the day.

ALL organized religion is pure evil. Just like all organized sports.

Re: Microsoft Sets Up Digital Manners Police

Now, I see and understand why it is so important to stay on topic. Anyway,
any thoughts about computing in general, Gary, since we are off topic anyway
especially in regards to Windows 7 and Microsoft's future.
