Hello Peter,

I had an argument recently with Marcia Akins. I replied to one of her message and I thought that would be about it. Things degenerated pretty fast and that on an ordinary topic.

So that will explain why I will rarely get involved in threads about Politics and Religion. There could also be other topics that I consider too touchy. Some persons can't deally discuss things. They will force their opinion to you. If you disagree then they will insult you. Internet doesn't help here also. You don't really know who you're discussing with. Did that person recently lost her job. Is there somebody ill in the family. A divorce in the making. So many things you don't get also because you don't see and you don't really know the person. As soon as the words are gone you can receive a reply that you never suspected.



>Now THESE were all really funny jokes! Thank Y'o. :)))

>>Peter, not to worry -- I thought you were making a joke. And I thought it was funny. But then such things require a sense of humor. If one does not have that, one is still left with the requirement of 'sense'. If one does not have that... uh, cry 'moderator'. Haha
>>
>>If "Thank G-d the majority of mankind are not Jewish" offends, allow me to add to it a bit -- I've got *pages* so if I've missed anyone's sacred cow, just moooove along to the moderator. :-)

>>* Thank god for atheists. :-)

>>* A Unitarian's funeral -- all dressed up and no place to go.

>>* Jesus wasn't born in [insert place], they've never had a virgin and three wise men.

>>*A Brit, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting of Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden.
>>"Look at their reserve, their calm," muses the Brit. "They must be British."
>>"Nonsense," the Frenchman disagrees. "They're naked, and so beautiful. Clearly, they are French."
>>"No clothes, no shelter," the Russian points out, "they have only an apple to eat, and they're being told this is paradise. Clearly, they are Russian."

>>*A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he is
>>not sure if sex is work or play. He asks a priest for his opinion
>>on this question.
>>
>>The priest says after consulting the Bible," My son, after an
>>exhaustive search I am positive sex is work and is not permitted
>>on Sundays."
>>
>>The man thinks: "What does a priest know of sex?" He goes to a
>>minister... a married man, experienced... for the answer.
>>
>>He queries the minister and receives the same reply..Sex is work
>>and not for the Sabbath!
>>
>>Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out the ultimate authority:
>>a man of thousands of years tradition and knowledge... A Rabbi.
>>
>>The Rabbi ponders the question and states," My son, sex is
>>definitely play."
>>
>>The man replies," Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many
>>others tell me sex is work?!"
>>
>>The Rabbi softly speaks," If sex were work... my wife would have
>>the maid do it.

>>* Jesus and Satan were having an argument as to who was the better programmer.
>>
>>This went on for a few hours until they agreed to hold a contest with God
>>as the judge.
>>
>>They sat at their computers and began.
>>
>>They typed furiously for several hours, lines of code streaming up on the
>>screen.
>>
>>Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning struck,
>>taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power was restored, and
>>God announced that the contest was over. He asked Satan to show what he
>>had come up with.
>>
>>Satan was visibly upset, and cried, "I have nothing! I lost it all when
>>the power went out."
>>
>>"Very well, then," God said, "Let us see if Jesus did any better."
>>
>>Jesus entered a command, and the screen came to life in vivid display,
>>the voices of an angelic choir poured forth from the speakers.
>>
>>Satan was astonished. He stuttered, "But how?! I lost everything,
>>yet Jesus's program is intact! How did he do it?"
>>
>>God chuckled, "Jesus saves"
