Ok well, no worries...

I like you too, BTW.

I see what I percieve to be a genuine faith in God in you, that I don't see very readily in a lot of people. And I like that very much in a person. I look very hard for that in everyone. I usually find it to at least some extent in almost everyone that I observe for any appreciable amount of time. In you, I saw it right away.

Strange stuff ey? I mean, after just a few of your very first posts.

I appreciate that. You sound a lot like my best friend who is around 70. He is a democrat and we dont agree on relegion either. But we still manage to be great friends and we both trust each other more than we would our own family perhaps.

P.s My darn keyboard is typin about 1k a minute. Dunno whats going on and I just saw z/a let an ip addvertizment through.

Format. Or temporarily replace the HD to see if formatting will be a solution. Working backwards is often the best way. You'll actually be starting near the middle and only 'likely' end up working bakwards.

I just spent my whole afternoon redoing darn h/d darn windows suck.

I managed to get linspire/xandros loaded and setup right but it wouldnt let me connect to the net. Maybe I should try wine.

Atom · 10-30-2004, 02:08 AM

Dunno what wine is except the beverage and the color. lol

docquesting · 10-30-2004, 02:11 AM

Wine is a version of linux. I do hope you know what linux is lol.

Also, when I drove around in the US I got stopped many times for all kind of 'controls' and ID checks, never happened to me in China either. I have never seen 'road blocks' there while they are common in the States.

Now it even gets worse, when I want to vist America they demand me to give my fingerprints, not China, I feel a lot more welcome there. Needless to say I won't be visting America anymore.

I don't say the Chinese people are more free than the American people, what I do say is that the Chinese government is more friendly towards tourists, a lot more.

It's always nice when a site Moderator/Administrator insults a person's intelligence.

Classy move!

I'm not insulting anybody's intelligence. I'm insulting somebody's debate tactics.

Bush and Saddam aren't so different after all.

Another example of cheap debate tactics.

The US is acquiring any territory. And the assumption that we are doing it for oil is, and shall remain, ludicrous. Millions upon millions of Americans are for this war, and oil has nothing to do with it. Saddam Hussein was a murdering tyrant and he needed to be removed from power.

The Patriot Act does not allow for censorship in any way, shape or form.

wouldn't "question" someone's debate tactics be a better option than "insult" someone's debate tactics?

**John Scott** · 10-30-2004, 08:58 AM

Why question it? It's not as if there is any question about it. When people come in here and post stuff like that, I'm sure they are aware of what they are doing.

Ferre · 10-30-2004, 09:03 AM

Wel, in that light, let's look back on the debates on the Iraq war in the UN before the invasion and dear mr. Colin Power's debate tactics?

Nope, WINE is not a version of Linux. It's sort of a Windows Virtual Machine that runs under linux and allows to run some Windows based programs.
