"Everyone cries when they've been stabbed... There's no shame in that!"

Richard (from Slings and Arrows)

I still need to see that film... Perhaps over Christmas.

Dear you,

Please be productive and get some work done soon?

I disagree that "truths transcend reason." Rather, I think that reason stems from truth. Truth and reason are inseperable.

Rei

Actually, I think most of us do.

Etymology makes me happy.

I want a bottle of advocaat...

Another way you can make chai is to take all those ingredients, throw them into a pot of milk, steam the milk, and then strain it through a cheesecloth. Oh, and the ingredient amounts are fairly (borderline entirely) flexible. The only real requirements are tea (although darjeeling, or at least blac...

I say the entire west coast should secede from Canada and America and form "Pacifica".

That's pretty much what Cascadia is. Alberta, BC, Washington, Oregon, and California would all seperate and form their own country.

Rei

>_>

<_<

...maybe?

Actually, at the moment I'm in ON, but I hail from BC. Although I really could have said that if I came from any province other than Ontario or Quebec. So there

hey Ontario might get more money for a change.

30 December: we finish the book

That said, happy reading to you all!

Rei

Cascadia all the way!

But we won't conclude at all, then. Anyway, I tend to think that we have been approaching religion fairly logically within a framework here.

Rei

You'd be amazed at how non-conclusive logic can be. EL, I think lyons was saying that people who call themselves Christians and who are not JWs are "wanting to have their ears tickled" and that they "accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires" and God &...

The point that I understood for Babel is that the people were trying to demonstrate independance from God by building a great tower. However, this is not something God wanted, because humans are not independant of Him, so He made it impossible for them to complete this project. Well, mysterious are...

Rei

no. but don't they speak english there?

That probably depends on your definition of English. I'm willing to bet I'd have an easier time understanding Quebecois English.

Rei

I mean, I can understand not wanting Quebec to be too closely associated with Canada - somehow, they manage to give Canaducks an even worse name, right? *snrk* That aside, from what I understand, Harper is recognising the Quebec people as a nation, much like how any people group forms a nation, wit...

I may as well start with the fact that I am a little sad that I lost my post count. I worked hard to get where I was. I guess I see post count as reflective of someone's dedication to a forum. It doesn't mean that they're a good poster or that they are a bad one, but that they show that whomever is ...

Alrighty folks, it's time for another book. Both Kelly and I were swamped last month, so our apologies for no November book, however for December there shall be a book. Due to the small participation in October, we are going to make this an open vote. So if you participated or if you didn't, your vo...

Living in the lower-mainland of BC, I tend to vote for the Tories, because typically we've had good Tory MPs who actually care about our area. The furthest left I could swing would be Grits, but I presently don't see any need for that.

It's like something out of Poe...

They go to limbo, according to the catholic church, but it's a huge debate. I'll have to look up some references, so for now try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbo#The_Limbo_of_Children_.28limbus_infantium_or_limbus_puerorum.29 That was never made official doctrine and has fallen into disuse in rec...

Dear you, Thank-you for replying to my e-mail and inviting me to help with things tonight. I really, really needed to spend some time with people and I can't thank you enough for letting me. So yeah, thank-you... ~Rei Dear you, Thank-you every so much for your e-mail yesterday... I really, honestly ...

Rei

Yeah, who knows. The general consensus is that my class is being taught horribly, and horribly difficultly. I expect a lot of it will make a lot more sense and be far clearer when I take third year syntax.

Rei

Dear Bob, I've realised something. I have never seen my life so well played out in a comic strip, but PhD comics does it... And I'm not even in grad school yet! I need classes to give meaning to my life. I sit here, on a Saturday afternoon, procrastinating on my homework which I know I will need to ...

Swiss Family Robinson was definitely a winner, but we only really got to see that when we went to our grandparents' house in Manitoba.

Rei

I know we had a hatrack.ca a few years ago and it was a blast. Really, it doesn't need to be a huge con to be a lot of fun. There's nothing quite like hanging out and going to museums and restaurants with random people you've never met before, but you've seen posting plenty.

Rei

I do like Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. And both Robin Hood and Sword in the Stone are amazing.

Rei

Yeah, that's PRO. R-expressions are nouns that can not be bound ever. So "coffee" is an R-expression, or "Joel". I can't remember what the R stands for, though. I generally find it easier to just say that PRO assigns a null case and be done with it.

Rei

A_B, Yes, those nasty bits are divinely inspired, too. And no, most churches do not pick and choose what parts they believe are divinely inspired. What they do is interpret things differently. There is a difference between reading the same words differently and saying some words are not from God. As...

My sister's dog, Simon, up to his usual sock-theivery:

I'd respond to your earlier analogy, but at the moment Hebrew has eaten my brain so I am unable to parse it. However, you have suggested a new set of questions. First, I believe that the Bible, in its entirety, is divinely inspired. Further, I believe that every last part of it must be divinely insp...
