Sweety D

On Vacation! Plane leaves tomorrow! Though I did end up taking 2 meetings today.

I use unix and linux products everyday. But I work and live in the technical (mostly software) world. For everyday use, I stick with unix based OS. By far the easiest and best UI. I also use Ubuntu, but I don't recommend that to a novice user. If you are familiar with KDE and terminal commands, you'll love it. So I guess I would ask, what's your use case? What are you trying to do? Just sick of Windows? For what it's worth, I avoid microsoft products like the plague. Though I'm always using the when I deploy VM's.

I've quickly learned to just ignore this person.

Not trying to win Discussion is always better than argument. Argument aims to find out who is right. Discussion aims to find out what is right.

But that brings up another good point, I have heard of NiN. But until you said that I knew nothing about the name of the band and that it represented the murder of the Savior. That's another reason it's so tough to decide what's ok and what not in those situations. (I'm not old, quite young for my situation, I just don't follow music much).

This is always a tough one. The handbook used to have strict guidelines about dress code at youth dances, but you don't want to exclude anyone. Fortunately the new handbook is different.

We are in complete agreement. They are petty. But they are still complaints. And it was a quick 'off the top of my head' list. The list could be very long. And most of them would be petty.

Personally I subscribe to your theory. Unfortunately I can't say that to some people.

All of your thoughts on each complaint are great. Wouldn't change a thing about it. Yet it still feels like you are on the attack, I was simply stating that complaints happen.

Correct, we got off topic. These examples may need less attention the the OP's examples. I was just explaining to someone that thought complaints don't really happen at all.

People privately complain all the time. The deacon wasn't wearing a white shirt and he passed the sacrament! Sister X distracts me when she changes the baby's diaper in the chapel. I saw Brother X with another woman at the mall! He might be cheating... it was his sister. So many things like this are said. Trust me.

They are in your Bishops office complaining.

I agree 100% with all of this. Well said. This was far from the point others made though. I also think's is sad that someone would say .. "If God outlawed *insert activity or substance*, I and many others would leave." I have never heard this comment before. I guess my point was that God hasn't asked to put those things aside. Which is why I (and others) have said, when/if that day comes, we gladly will.

Let's see who can get in the last word .. your turn!

Thank you. Keep on keeping on. Congratulations on the win.
