Listen, and understand. It is out there.
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with.
It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.
And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until FR is dead.

Florida Atlantic University has issued an apology for a classroom assignment that involving students writing the name “Jesus” on a sheet of paper and then stomping on the paper. The university also said the lesson will never again be used.
“We sincerely apologize for any offense this has caused,” the university said in a prepared statement. “Florida Atlantic University respects all religions and welcomes people of all faiths, backgrounds and beliefs.”
The university initially defended the Christ-bashing lesson which is included textbook titled, “Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach, 5th Edition.”
Fox News obtained a synopsis of the lesson taught by Deandre Poole, who also happens to be vice chair of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party.
“Have the students write the name JESUS in big letters on a piece of paper,” the lesson reads. “Ask the students to stand up and put the paper on the floor in front of them with the name facing up. Ask the students to think about it for a moment. After a brief period of silence instruct them to step on the paper. Most will hesitate. Ask why they can’t step on the paper. Discuss the importance of symbols in culture.”
Ryan Rotela, a devout Mormon, was in the classroom and refused to participate — telling television station WPEC that the assignment was insulting and offensive.
I can; but I won't.
Elsie, you can't hear what other people are saying to you. You can't read the plain meaning of English words on this thread that are asking you to stick to the point here and stop bothering us with your toxic obsession and hatred of mormonism. We have heard you. You choose not to hear us. Seek spiritual therapy.
Freedom isn't free. The word "Free" in "Free Republic" does NOT mean no cost to anyone. People pay to make this happen. Others take a ride.
There is a line between posting contributions of value and greedy exploitation for personal reasons that do not benefit the host community. You need to find that boundary and respect it.
Anyone who would paste yards of bandwidth-gobbling spam and feel entitled to it instead of making reasoned responses to the actual point of the thread is taking advantage of a Forum others cherish enough to support with their offerings. This amounts to trying to solve personal problems on other people's dime. A rage that deep needs one-on-one attention from a qualified spiritual counselor.

It is as you say...
Sure I can; and it is a lot of accusation with no evidence.
AW; other people can't see what you are claiming.
Ok; lead me to where Jim has posted it in his rules for participation.
Smugness: knowing that ELSIE is a jerk without showing any proof of it.

She has already done that herself on this thread.
Once again: Accusation with no proof...
ACTS of the Apostles 24:5-9
5 “We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect 6 and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.”
9 The other Jews joined in the accusation, asserting that these things were true.
You'll need to define benefit as you see it.
Well there you have it folks....etched forever in granite.
I believe you meant to direct that comment elsewhere.
Lovitz: It's over.
Hartmann: I need another chance.
Lovitz: I'm sorry. It's over.
Hartmann: Give it to me straight!
Lovitz: No more! It's over! You're through!!!!
Hartmann: What's the word on the street?
I believe you are correct.
This thread needs more cowbell!
Thanks for the link
My pleasure.
Albion, please note: I am asking that you stick to the point of this thread and stop bothering Elz...
I've counted now -- what -- five posts that you've directed toward Elsie. If you can't read the plain meaning of my English in this post, then get an interpreter:
