I find it surprising that there is a good number of Americans are on Standard Time instead of Daylight Savings.

On a related note: England doesn't have Daylight Savings Time, does it? Is it just an America thing?

I read it when you first posted it. But I don't really have much to say. No offense, but I found it to be really boring. It's probably just because I'm not really fond of war stories in the first place. I don't feel anything for the characters. What happens? Some guy fights in a battle that appears ...

Slim

Ah, well, that second part makes sense in some way I guess, about the "second coming" then. But why for a millenium? Why not for eternity? Will there be a cycle-like thing that keeps on going, 2,000 years in between a 1,000 year period of world peace? I imagine because after that, God, as...

:) There is no possible comparison between being grounded and being killed. How the people "killed by an act of God" say eventually "oh he was looking out for us the whole time", specially if they died in their sins and went to hell? How can people in Hell, suffering eternally, t...

Azarel, you just said everything I was thinking. This saves on typing. :) I just want to add that seems like God is cruel and unfair for the same reason we, as children, may have thought our parents were cruel and unfair. As we grow physically, we realize, "Oh, they were looking out for us the ...

I was totally baffled once. One lady was arguing with us on my mission, and she said the only thing we need to do is be saved is to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. (in hindsight, why was she even arguing with us? Was her point that we will be condemned for doing more? ) We asked if such a person ...

I would say that there is a huge difference between you giving forgiveness and God (or alternatively, the Justice system) giving forgiveness. I believe that we should forgive everyone. We need to move on, and the bitterness of holding on to it will only bring us down. However, that doesn't mean the ...

You Have to Burn the Rope is a pretty good game. Now that I've finished, I can get back to my homework.

Slim

Oh, yeah!!!! Great episode. I had to keep reminding myself that the Sibylline Sisterhood isn't the same as the Sisterhood of Karn. I kept waiting for them to start whisper-chanting: "Sacred Flame! ... Sacred Fire! ..." Odd prophecy about Donna. She's got something on her back? My sister wi...

Cause and effect. Saying that the background says of many criminals that they start as firestarters only says some firestarters become criminals, not all . There's still hope for the kid. Actually, it probably gives the kid a better chance of succeeding since they realize this kid may get into more ...

I would like to have an hour to get ready in the morning, but I normally end up with 15-30 minutes.

May 2nd, I will have my BS in Computer Science (Software Engineering emphasis)

Currently, my first class is at 7 in the morning at Weber State, so I try to wake up at 5:30 so I can have time to get ready and get there on time. I get an extra hour of sleep on Thursdays when class is an hour later. Saturdays and Sundays I can sleep in until 8 or 9 usually. Going to bed depends o...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "postmodernism" I can't really discuss until I know what the heck we are talking about here. . . .

Slim

Yes, I'm excited for this season. I already know it will be good. My sister has all sorts of crazy theories (which actually are pretty good), but I'll let y'all make your own. :) I'm was confused at one part until my sister explained, "He's using the British meaning of 'mate' " ah. Yeah, I...

Slim, what about idolatry? Do you think that that is forgiveable? Yes. Throughout the scriptures, people are constantly preaching against idolatry, and I think it would be pretty pointless preaching if they could not repent. Except for the unpardonable sin I mentioned earlier, I believe repentance ...

I'm not a big music person I'm not much of a music man -- I'm fine just listening to the radio. Do you want to start a support group? Hi. My name is Slim Pickens. I... am not into music. *pause* I opened my CD case... and... *snif* It was empty!! *sobs* The money I could have used on music *snif* ....

It was my sister that showed me the Young Writers Forum at Hatrack. A guy there asked if anyone was on PhiloticWeb, so I checked it out and stayed. I never really attached myself to the main forum of Hatrack, when the YWF closed (though I do check it occasionally). Then after my mission, I saw that ...

Peters_girl -- (I don't know if you'll read this, but...) I'll spare y'all the details, but my cousin is in jail. She messed up, but she is feeling much better now. It is an unfortunate way to learn from one's mistakes, but I hope you can make the most of your experiences so that you can change and ...

Making a pretty big assumption there. I have never bought music in my life. I don't own any music, and I probably never will. I'm not much of a music man -- I'm fine just listening to the radio.

New season of xxxHolic began in Japan yesterday. (or I guess 2 days ago, counting time zones.) Yay!

Slim

What about rejection of the Holy Ghost? (see Topical Guide: Holy Ghost, Unpardonable Sin against ) 'course, that basically means (to me anyway) that such a person won't repent. But, anyway, the way I see it yes all sin, any sin, separates one from God. What I see as a sin being worse than another is...

Reading your topic, I was thinking of something. A guy who works for the government talked to our Software Engineering class a while back. One of the things he mentioned is the video feed from unmanned aircraft in enemy territory. There is bound to be errors -- a lot of them. However, typical stream...

irs.gov added an Econoic Stimulus Payment Calculater . I'm glad. Even though I'm just getting $300, it's nice to have a calculator now. On an unrelated note, yesterday I got a 1099-MISC from a job that I quit nearly a year and a half ago. Uhm... Thanks! I never got it in 2007, but I kept track of ho...

I finished another video here. It's not all that great, but only because it is music to manga images, so it might make ADD people bored. But actually, I'm quite pleased with it. I did a few effects & things to keep it interesting. But the best part is that I animated 3 manga pages. It took me FO...

Slim, that's why you should be Catholic or Anglican :P We go to WAY more church during Easter than once a week! And that first Sunday after Lent is a spectacular service indeed. lol. Well, do you really need to do anything different in particular on that day? Thoughts/prayers/church/charitable acti...

If you are traveling at the speed of light, your clock has stopped, so it is pointless to talk about how fast others are going relative to yourself. But, yeah, you are right though. Say you replace c with .6c, then one might expect the sum to be 1.2c, however, it really only comes to .88c. (as shown...

Just what I was going to say. (Christmas/Easter comparison) Just some other thoughts: Is there a better way for me to celebrate the resurrection of my Savior? Hiding eggs seems to have as little to do with the reason for the celebration as anything else I can think of. Besides, of course, going to c...

Thanks.

And don't worry, you didn't offend me much at all.
Nothing compared to many instances when I was a missionary.

Slim

... assuming that there's a life after death. Where do you get that? Uhmm... from your post, remember? "How does the missionary reconcile his stated purpose from his method." :) But to address the question more seriously... Now, Slim, your thought process is circular. Please read the foll...

I thought of the thread When/where did it start for you? instead of the one eriador linked to. Perhaps his fits your question better, but this is a good thread also.

Also, Jesus what not 'so' humble in everything he did. If he was and if that was his purpose, then chances are people wouldn't speak of him today. No, Jesus shook the entire world up with his teachings and that has lasted to this day. He wasn't humble when he stormed the merchants and moneylenders ...

2 problems with "the Game" 1st: Since I now know about the game, I have lost, so why am I still playing? 2nd: As has been stated, it defines itself as existing, which I do not believe. So, with that, back to what we are talking about. Wow.... I really like where this discussion has gone. O...

Slim

Yeah, I guess it would have made more sense to use present tense. :) When I was writing, I was thinking, "His body is like what ours would be if ours were perfected." But, I suppose that does make a really awkward sentence. And, yeah, that's right -- Jesus Christ has a sword wound in his s...
