Very cool. Thanks.

You can hear better than a dog?

They were. Luther was sort of like a “conservative revolutionary.” He wanted to get back to what he thought was the truth. He thought the church was the one that was off track. Hence why he flipped out over other reformers going too far and denying the real presence, etc. He also hated having “Lutherans” be called after his own name.

She is the wife of Lehi and mother of Nephi, correct?

Have you read the Eric Mextas biography of him? A+ biography.

Correct. It’s the members who do it. I’m not sure why they do it, because I can‘t read minds. I’ve never heard a bishop or SP do it.

@Vort-I know you and I think Hakeem is one of the best centers of all time. I would like to see his prime Rockets take on the Nuggets, actually

Some grim humor.

I totally agree with you that most auditors are jerks trying to make cops look bad. And that’s why they are crucial to our democracy. I view them like I view flag burning. Repulsive, condemnable, and totally lawful

Same. I think both are crucial to our freedom and security.

Never knew that. Very cool!

And I apologize-I thought music was your job. Teaching/officiating TKD is my side hustle.

Your response is fascinating, and it makes me think. I do see it differently though. In particular if you are producing/writing a musical and looking for actors. In those situations, your opinions matter. It’s actually quite true, especially about the forums. We’re here for discussions and friendships, and certainly to express ourselves. Do people care about our opinions? Maybe. But if @LDSGator and @The Folk Prophet were that influential, we should go into politics or spend more time converting others to the LDS faith. I also highly highly doubt anyone has been significantly swayed by the opinions of any of us here. People have either doubled down on what they believe or forgotten what we (everyone here) said. I freely admit to being the most narcissistic, self absorbed personal alive, but I’m not stupid. I know I’m really not that influential. Now, with all that said, I think you make excellent points. And I did pay attention. So you might be right.

Just to add something-our professional opinions certainly matter. You are absolutely qualified to tell me my singing voice is terrible. And if you tried to spar me in TKD but lack the ability to kick properly, I’m “allowed” to tell you how to fix it. But once you and I start talking about abortion, tax policy and religion-people probably won’t listen.

I think it’s important to remember that your opinion (and mine) doesn’t matter at all except to our family-and maybe our friends. Other than that, no one cares.

Yup. I’ve read the book many times. Benchley admitted he made up the sex scene to sell more books.

Dude, I couldn’t agree more. Jaws is a classic and that scene is a gem

From what little I know, the Saudis have cracked down on tourists even bringing bibles/BOMs into for personal use, so I’m extremely skeptical.

You are wrong.

One of the scariest scene in horror movies

To be fair, I haven’t gone there in a very long time but I was surprised by how much they allow as well.

Exactly.

I do think social media censors people but a lot of it has to do with the posters terrible attitude and communication abilities more than FB hating conservatives/liberals.

I enjoyed the survey. I practice self censorship but it’s more in regards to my sense of humor than politics. I like dark and gallows humor (everyone says they do until they meet someone who uses….dark humor) and if it was up to me I’d post some very grim jokes. But not everyone will get it so I just skip it to avoid a headache.
