To Anyone who lives in Britain.

You remind me of a student that opens a book, sees something hard for him to understand but doesn't want to seek an answer. Instead, he wants everyone to run around and do it for him.
And i don't need explained that it's a naturally predictable question, Sulkdodds, thanks. If i said it's predictable, it might be because i've asked that once myself.

I had to look 3 times to make sure you werent quoting yourself, because I'm absolutely positive you meant to quote Walter



are you sure you're not talking about yourself





you meant you right?

 

[Walter]

Fail, try again.

Really, that doesn't address anything and it won't wash here.

They say a diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you'll look forward to the trip. Man, i'd sure want to be a diplomat sometimes...

You remind me of a religious nut that opens a book, takes what it says at face value, and doesn't try to reason any of it out.

You say that, but actually I am seeking an answer. I am seeking an answer from you, Walter. I am putting forward an argument based on the knowledge available to me. And I would be very much obliged if you would actually engage me in debate instead of just sitting back and telling me I'm lazy.

I've made my view known - are you going to take the effort to respond? If you've already considered this, and if you have the answer, are you going to enlighten me?

You'll have to learn some diplomacy first.

Sure i'll post it, i have no reason to be silent.
As for Old testament, it's not as it doesn't count in total, just some laws filled their purpose. I'll talk later about it.

And who chooses what doesn't count and what does? Where does it say *some* laws expired? God didn't say anything about that, could you have perhaps... made it all up?

And by what criteria do you decide what still counts and what doesn't? Burning the town of unbelievers is probably something you don't agree with, but how have you decided you can ignore that but at the same time (most likely) follow the ten commandments?

And if we have independant criteria to decide on what's morally right and wrong in the Bible to do in a modern society, wouldn't you say that man is capable of being moral by themselves and (believe in) God doesn't have anything to do with it?

Or in short Walter, answer this question: how do you decide what's right and what's wrong to do?

 

[Walter]

The more the interesting questions the more eager i'm to answer them. Really apologize, but i doubt i'll be able to start that debate in at least a week or so. I'll try next weekend, though I can't promise anything.

:dozey: you don't say...

 

[kirovman]

I just meant that you seem severely depleted in that particular area.

 

[Walter]

Compared to some monkeys here that i try to ignore i think i'm quite diplomatic with my manners. Sure, not always...but not every post too.

 

[kirovman]

Hmm, well I admit you don't lose your rag too often, but you still have a lot to be desired.

Part of being diplomatic is telling people what they want to hear, whilst retaining your original view in that statement.

They call it public relations, or 'spin'.

Tbh, that is very diplomatic. You even postponed the time schedule because you didn't have the answer immediately!

 

[Walter]

Actually, that's because i've got other things to do than to spend time with a debate right now.

 

[Sulkdodds]

A true master of spin.
