  1. I guess it's a matter of interpretation. In his #3, I feel like he is basically saying that because of the things he knows (about Jews) it's ruining his life. So it's just how I'm interpreting it.
  2. To be fair to Carb, Gecko said: I genuinely think these things I now know/see are ruining my life. He didn't say the questions are ruining his life but what he knows is.
  3. Wow. Hate much?
  4. And we haven't discussed it in 13 years.
  5. I am extremely sensitive to many perfumes, colognes and other scents. Especially those that have a musk base. I can't walk into a store that has incense burning. My throat immediately closes up and I can't breathe. Even something like my neighbor's dryer vent which is right outside my front door leading to the steps makes me gag when she is using the dryer because of the dryer sheets. Pretty much most things I purchase are scent-free. Unless it's something like citrus or vanilla. Vanilla is my happy scent.
  6. Interesting because I remember an interview he did oh maybe 15 years ago where he talked about his party and how he wished they were more anti-abortion except in the case of rape, incest or risk to the mother.
  7. Like Mirkwood said...not the best president but he was a giant of men when it came to his humanitarian work.
  8. I thought we were already there.
  9. If I remember correctly, you were the jerk that turned me in.
  10. I was on my best behavior that day.
  11. This is still my favorite:
  12. You guys are cruel.
  13. Geez louise.
  14. And I'm going to pass. Even the cheapest seats are around $100. It's not worth it to me.
  15. I think a lot of the time the games are based on network scheduling.
  16. I just might have to think about attending this since it's right near me. I won't be able to watch it on tv as ABC is the only network I can't get here in San Antonio.
  17. Now to put my admin hat on. This is the LDS Gospel Discussion of the Forum . There is no debating our beliefs in this particular section of the forum. Any further comments that go against our teachings or again the Church in general will result in an immediate removal from the site. Please read Rule #1.
  18. That is so not true. The curse of Canaan has often been misinterpreted, particularly during the 19th century, when it was used to justify racial theories linking the Canaanites to people of African descent. However, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has clarified that such interpretations are fundamentally flawed. The Church teaches that the curse associated with Canaan is not a racial or eternal condemnation but a reflection of the covenantal dynamics present in the Old Testament. Also, being Canaanite doesn't mean you are a descendant of Cain. Canaanites were from a particular area called Canaan. Today, many archaeologists and geneticists think that the descendants of Canaan are Jews and Palestinians. The Church's official statement on race and the priesthood disavow any notions that associate the curse with racial inferiority or divine sanction against any particular group, emphasizing that all individuals are worthy of receiving the blessings of the priesthood, irrespective of their lineage.
  19. Well hopefully, our forum members will remember to be kind in their responses. We have a couple that are not always the most kind.
  20. My grandfather was one. He would have been baptized in a heartbeat, but to keep peace in his marriage, he didn't. My grandmother was a very devout Seventh-day Adventist. As I was growing up whenever we would visit you would always find him in a conversation with my dad about our beliefs. My dad did his proxy work for him after he passed. My grandfather was not a demonstrative person when it came to showing affection. But my dad said he could feel arms around him like someone was hugging him in the temple that day.
