Word For The Day, Tuesday May 13, 2014
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
farceur [fahr-SUR]
-n
1. a joker; wag.
2. a writer or director of or actor in farce.
[1775–85; < French, Middle French, equivalent to farc ( er ) to joke, banter (derivative of farce farce) + -eur -eur ]
el todoterreno [toh-doh-tehr-EHN-oh]
-n
SUV
Al manejar grandes distancias en un todoterreno se gasta mucha gasolina.
Driving long distances in an SUV uses a lot of gas.
Subtle might be a better word than devious.
The point being that if there are sentient beings, beings with free will, then they sin and are in need of a savior.
In theory.
Are you watching the new 24?
It’s pretty good. I think the compressed schedule makes it better.
My dog has free will, should he baptize her?
Your dog does not have free will.
i have no problem what he said. it fit the gospel perfectly, and it was taking that same point— that the locals back then thought that baptizing Gentiles was outlandish, weird and wrong— and applying it to a comparable situation. Not lunacy.

Imagine those Christian girls being here in America - the liberals would be whining about their parents forcing them into a ultra right wing school!
i read on here that a Nigerian dad said that he’d rather his daughter be killed than converted to Islam. I don’t think that’s too extreme of a statement. I would not want my daughters to live under islam, under ANY circumstances.
I would rather have the pope agreeing to baptize space aliens than trying to get the UN to con countries into redistributing wealth-I realize a lot of his life has been spent in a socialist country-but it isn’t exactly a popular idea with most of us, and it makes him look way more out-of-touch than the alien remark.
Considering that we don’t have a method of propulsion fast enough to get us out of our neighborhood/solar system and back in a lifetime, and it may also be the case with beings someplace else, if they do exist-I doubt it will be anything to consider anytime soon...
Toda Via no, but I will. Are you watching Turn? It’s pretty good. Some despicable characters there.
They lied about the funny press conference though. They duped me into watching it and it was not even slightly amusing. It’s like those stupid chain emails I get that say this is hilarious, and it is not.
In fairness though, nothing tops the woman playing tennis and screaming at Carol.
Clinton was talking aliens on Letterman not that long ago.
Lots of chatter in high places lately on the subject.
Maybe they know something we don’t.
Could the next “wag the dog” be of the extra terrestrial kind?
Pants is obsessed with the Pens, i generally don’t click on those. and yes, the tennis player screaming at Carol was funny, but nothing beats the Philly fans and Carcillo!
it’s the same forwards or backwards.
