Petronski,
Jesus told Peter to put down his sword.
God said Thou shalt not kill and it is not asterisked
with exceptions
Instead of dodging Petronski's question, answer it fruitcake.
I know what you think of it, go crawl back into the high grass.
Spirit unites.
Duct tape works better.
Nonresponsive, I see. Why so evasive?
I'll ask you again: Whom do you claim committed these alleged war crimes?
LSD is bad for you.
You do not have enough data to assign value to any creature.
You attack Israel. You quote leftist terrorists.
I assign you a value of -28. If you are eliminated, 28 people will have a wonderful life.
God actually said though shall not murder...not kill.
Careful, she may reincarnate in an even wackier form.
(If that is even possible.)
I predict you are not far from being banned.
Do you know how bricks are made? It's pretty gory.
I hate having so much trouble remembering that rule...
Have you noticed that your thread title has changed?
You're about to catch some high voltage electricity.
Jesus also said to sell your robes and buy a sword.
I'll buy you one if you promise to fall on it.
Holy crap. I HAVE SLOPES ON MY PROPERTY. So do my neighbors: I will warn them immediately.
I think there is serious trouble brewing in New Hampshire: Many of us up here own riding mowers. In fact, there are FARMS AROUND HERE, and the farmers have TRACTORS, which are like WMDs for tall grasses and the like.
Next month, the farmers will begin heartlessly tearing the harmless apples from their little, fragile stems, which provide them needed nourishment. Would a more humane course of action be to let the apples fall to the ground so that they can rot, or be consumed by wildlife?
If I wait under an apple tree for an apple to fall of its own accord, would it be ok to eat the apple? What about the seeds? Should I simply spit these onto the ground, or should they be planted? If I should plant them, is it ok to displace other plants?
Your original post has me really concerned. I own a riding mower, a push mower, a weed whacker, a leaf blower, and a really nifty gas powered edger. To plants, I must be a greater menace than Saddam Hussein was to the Kurds....
Naw, it's Esquire.(?)Maybe he missed the old days.
All I see are Killing Fields.
I'm betting there wouldn't be any bareback riding on those sheep...
Semites are peoples who speak Semitic languages; the group includes Arabs, Aramaeans, Jews, and many Ethiopians. In a Biblical sense, Semites are peoples whose ancestry can be traced back to Shem, Noah's eldest son. The ancient Semitic populations were pastoral Nomads who several centuries before the Christian Era were migrating in large numbers from Arabia to Mesopotamia, the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, and the Nile River delta. Jews and other Semites settled in villages in Judea, southern Palestine.
Present day speakers of Semitic languages are as diverse in physical, psychological, cultural, and sociological characteristics as are speakers of Indo European languages. The most prominent Semites today are Arabs and Jews. They are different in many ways, and they have absorbed a variety of European traits through centuries of migration and trade. The origin of Semitic languages, however, and many similarities in the stories of Islam and Judaism reflect a common ancient history.
