JIA thinks the reason I post after he does is to bury his post, like a dog would bury sh*t. 😱 He doesn't seem to realize that this is debate forum. So, I thought I would have some fun at his expense.

'Debate' for a lot of people simply is a means to reaffirm their position and come out stronger in their conviction because of the opposition. The only reason I engage in it at all is because work has slowed down considerably and I have time to kill.

Pragmatically, it's far better to distance yourself from people who stubbornly refuse to exchange ideas fairly and just become obstinate, for the same reason why you don't attend political rallies of the opposing party. They're so entrenched in their idea of "it's my thought so it is sacred and immutable", it's like pushing water uphill.

I'm here for the same reason; we are down to a skeleton crew with very little work. Sure I do have projects, but they are all on hold, except for one, until the economy improves and infrastructure around the world continues. However, I am a lot more masochistic then you are. 😎

My tolerance was never very high to begin with, and as I grow older, I find it plus my waning interest only works against me.

I should really start bringing books to work.

I have a copy of ASME Y14.5 if you want to read THAt. 😛

Gesundheit.

I'm still working my way through Fingerprints of the Gods and The Silmarillionl; the former is clearly embellishment and the latter fact.

Or you could read my graphic novel.

Plus, Fox has the best looking slu -- er, women, even if 90% of them are cut from the same fake-tan, bleached-blonde mold.

Actually, I watch Fox news on a regular basis. "Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer." 😎

Wow! that's exactly the same reason I watch Fox news. And I thought it was just me. 😮

I don't know. None of the Fox girls do anything for me. They need a little more upstairs.

But you could make a drinking game out of their buzzwords. Just bring a stomach pump.

You disappoint me!

You should already have a stomach pump. 😛

The greatest story ever told is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I like Star Wars better.

The gospel is the message of hope in Christ Jesus.
