Do note that I did not apply what I said to *every* member of VS, but *half* of them...and IMO, though not scientifically provable, I'm correct in this assessment. About 50% of any thread is riddled with one side or the other side sifters, with almost no in-between and no attempt to even try to understand their opposition. The way you addressed this, you applied what I said to everyone, which I never did.

Onto the meat of the subject, you claimed my post was negative (in so many words), however, it wasn't negative, it was merely in disagreement with the speakers approach, which is a completely different thing. As for cynicism, I can admit it creeps into the equation, however, that doesn't mean I can't listen too and hear what other intelligent people, such as yourself for instance, have to say.

As for the final things you said, I'd agree if you cut out the entire middle portion of the video -- in which he preaches -- if that part didn't exist, I'd agree with you that his point was in attempting to start a discussion, however, he tried to steer the discussion to where he wanted it. He didn't merely speak of a specific subject objectively in the interest of starting a discussion, as he went into a mini-soap-box rant in the middle portion, rendering objective discussion almost moot as his speech became suggestive in nature. At least, this is my opinion on the matter.

Points taken. I can see where he does lack some definitive direction. (+1)

I still wear one. [casio calculator watch] Even Dwight, from Office, wears it!
Nice. I had mine taken away when I was a kid for using it in church. Maybe that's why churches scare the hell out of me now....


When I was using it either my watch didn't have a mute button, or I didn't use it. I can't remember which.

Hah! I've been bamboozled!

No can do. God says no sex before marriage.

I said my peace, it's your decision. I think it's one you'll regret, but it won't impact me one way or the other. My last "jab" is to ask you rhetorically if it is a good strategy to maintain the same belief system throughout all your life, regardless of your maturity or relative wisdom. Go forth and do whatever!

To be fair, this was from the Mac OS 8 days. Things were pretty ugly in Macland back then. I think I would have actually gladly taken a WinME machine over a Mac with OS 8.

Uninstall that crap, and install Ubuntu or Linux. Pick your distro.
I use a Ubuntu Kernel.


By chance, are you a writer for CSI?

LoL, nice. :-D
