Again, reading comprehension? I didn't call her a harlot, I said she was acting like one. I don't think I am superior morally, as we are all sinners who deserve death and hell. However, God provides a superior morality, and if you aren't following that you are dead in your sins. I want to ask you, why do you always chase me around with this passive aggressive commentary? You cannot help but heap insults on me, but it is simply trite and immature from my POV. How about instead of nipping at my heels you actually engage me with some original thought. Do you have anything swimming around upstairs besides empty criticism?

I didn't call her names, I criticized her behavior. Perhaps english is your second language. I was honestly trying to get her to see that she was stepping over a line she didn't want to cross. Perhaps that doesn't seem loving, but there was an ugly spirit at work there and it needed to be confronted. In the midst of all the drooling male carnality, I was the only one attempting to be self-righteous.

I only called her a whore because I want to spread the love of Jesus Christ.

Oh, OK. Cool.


Calling someone a "harlot", while maybe a bit outdated, is exactly the same as calling them a whore.
There are many words that were once technical terms, that are now considered hurtful and mean-spirited. Words like: moron, retard, douche-bag, imbecile, idiot and yes, harlot, were once considered to carry no negative connotations at all. So using your example, there was a time long ago when a medical professional might have said something like: "Shinyblurry is a moronic retard who's personality resembles that of a bag containing the contents from a filthy harlot's freshly-washed vagina." But here in the twenty-first century, English doesn't have to be your first language for you to realize that when someone calls another person a harlot, they are trying to hurt their feelings and degrade them. Which in your case, was merely a function of trying to express your moral superiority.
And by the way: The word "English" is a proper noun, and should be capitalized.



Shiny, I tried engaging you when you first started commenting here. But you've proven time and again that you are completely incapable of "original thought". Your entire world-view is based on other people's interpretations of the bible, and a bad acid trip that convinced you that you looked like Jesus. I have some news for you: you're not Jesus. The only reason I leave comments on your posts anymore is to poke fun at your completely delusional view of the world. I was done attempting to engage you a long time ago.

You don't actually think that using a simile to insult someone makes the insult OK. You just think that there's someone out there dumb enough to care about your defense of your callous, insensitive comment that they might be swayed by your pathetic excuses. The irony is, if you weren't so insulting to everyone you condescend to, you might actually make the connections you're seeking.

I didn't leave a comment on your profile. I left a comment on Fusionaut's profile to make fun of you.

Feeling your pain... upstairs neighbor is a narcissistic asshole with no communication skills... just yells something mixed with bits of profanity and then slams the door and refused to discuss the situation.

He used to be a lawyer, too... running theory is his anger issues got him disbarred in some way.

Only happens maybe once a month, but fucked up enough that I'm looking around at other places.

Actually, "Mike" is a perfectly acceptable shortening of 'microphone'.

"mic" is the acronym for "Men In Chartreuse", which was the astoundingly less-successful second sequel to "Men in Black".

I knew something looked odd... fixed now. Thanks.

You really don't want to know.

Bats outside are great, bats in your upstairs bedroom are not-so-great.

blankfist, I think I just found your upstairs neighbor

I went fishing with some friends a few months ago. Didn't catch anything, but one of the fishermen nearby gave us a fish out of sympathy. We kept fishing for a couple of hours after that, and the fish was wiggling in the bag for the whole time.
After we were done, we figured it was dead for sure. We grabbed the bag, and he started wiggling like mad again. We got back, put it in the trunk and drove home. After about 45 minute of a drive, we got there, opened the trunk, and it was still wiggling.
We went upstairs and started debating on the best way to end it's life. 30 minutes of bashing it against marble didn't stop it's wiggling. At some point my friend just said screw it, and gutted / skinned it while it was still moving.
It was certainly one of the weirdest things I can remember.


So for like, 5 hours, you thought it was still alive and didn't do anything, and then when you finally got uncomfortable, you decided to bludgeon it against marble for half an hour straight?

Jackass . Poor fish!

I'm going to go upstairs now... I'll be back in a while(the wife is Japanese).

I've experienced a "haunted" building before. It was in the basement of one of the local Library branches. (I used to do IT work for the network of libraries, so I've been to more than 60 in the county). This happened in the daytime, I was downstairs in the basement checking a network connection on the router or something like that. I heard a distinct 2-person conversation coming from the next room, as well as some old music (1920s?). I assumed it was just other people who worked or volunteered there, so I went about my business. A few minutes later I went in to ask if they knew where a ladder was, but no one was there. Also no radios, record players, computers, etc (anything that can make noise) was in that room. There was only 1 staircase up, and I was between that room and the stairs, so I would have seen someone go up.

I consider myself a skeptic of most things, and was not primed in any way - it was only after the fact, when I told one of the branch workers, that they said "oh yeah that room is haunted", like it was common knowledge and no big deal. Apparently they had many people witness paranormal stuff.

Maybe voices from upstairs could have gone through the ductwork, but that doesn't explain the music.

On a side note, that branch had a statistically significant high rate of blue screens, on identical hardware/software configurations deployed to many other branches. That was eventually tracked down to poor electrical wiring at the site (it's an old building- historic landmark status). When we installed good surge protectors at every PC, instead of plugging into wall, the BSODs dropped down to normal rate... but I prefer to believe that ghosts cause blue screens
