I support this idea

I'm not a roleplayer, mainly because it's just text and people can deny your actions, but either way it's a great idea.

"Who are you, to lay down who is, and who is not a Christian?" or "May not many a man who cannot believe these doctrines be far more truly a Christian, far closer to the spirit of Christ, than some who do?" Now this objection is in one sense very right, very charitable, very spiritual, very sensitive. It has every amiable quality except that of being useful. We simply cannot, without disaster, use language as these objectors want us to use it. I will try to make this clear by the history of another, and very much less important, word.

The word gentleman originally meant something recognisable; one who had a coat of arms and some landed property. When you called someone "a gentleman" you were not paying him a compliment, but merely stating a fact. If you said he was not "a gentleman" you were not insulting him, but giving information. There was no contradiction in saying that John was a liar and a gentleman; any more than there now is in saying that James is a fool and a Doctor. But then there came people who said -so rightly, charitably, spiritually, sensitively, so anything but usefully-"Ah, but surely the important thing about a gentleman is not the coat of arms and the land, but the behaviour? Surely he is the true gentleman who behaves as a gentleman should? Surely in that sense Edward is far more truly a gentleman than John?"

They meant well.

To be honourable and courteous and brave is of course a far better thing than to have a coat of arms. But it is not the same thing. Worse still, it is not a thing everyone will agree about. To call a man "a gentleman" in this new, 'refined sense', becomes, in fact, not a way of giving information about him, but a way of praising him: to deny that he is "a gentleman" becomes simply a way of insulting him. When a word ceases to be a term of description and becomes merely a term of praise, it no longer tells you facts about the object: it only tells you about the speaker's attitude to that object. (A "nice" meal only means a meal the speaker likes.)

A gentleman, once it has been spiritualised and refined out of its old coarse, objective sense, means hardly more than a man whom the speaker likes. As a result, gentleman is now a useless word. We had lots of terms of approval already, so it was not needed for that use; on the other hand if anyone (say, in a historical work) wants to use it in its old sense, he cannot do so without explanations. It has been spoiled for that purpose.

Now if once we allow people to start spiritualising and refining, or as they might say "deepening," the sense of the word Christian, it too will speedily become a useless word.

TL;DR

3000th post

Everyone's ignored this so far

THERE'S ALSO A FOE BUTTON

The foe button is like an ignore list, if you add someone to it, you can ignore them, and also optionally view their posts.

This thread is now Rainbow Dash.

Not this again...

 

To state my opinion again: I'll post whatever I damn well please as long as it has a reasonable relevance to the topic.

 

Where are threads being "infected" with ponies and going off topic? I'm sick of people saying this and not giving any examples. Any threads that did get derailed were derailed by non-bronies crying about pony response images. Even before I never got how there was any "pony spam", why are images suddenly spam if there's ponies in them?

He's like the internet personified!

That very though passed through my mind as well. XD

 

I gotta say, as bizarre as that world is, I wouldn't mind a day in it. Though I could do without those creepy fucking bunny strider things.

They're not bunnystriders until they have penis cannons

We don't need to start another thread about this, we're not de-railing any topics with ponies.

My teeth itch.

They like to be scratched with a toothbrush.

This thread is getting to be rather pointless... Lock?

Well that was an awesome episode. XD

 

"let us never speak of this again."

The streaming for me was HORRIBLE

It kept freezing every 30 seconds, I missed the entire ending because my browser stopped responding...

I started to panic trying to find streaming sites when I barely noticed it was 8, so I missed some of the beginning as well.

I was going to post this with a quote to Srake's post...

I lifted 15 tons of boxes today (well over 300 boxes, each 40 lbs). Some of the other warehouse guys were kind of surprised at how capable I was even though I've only been working at this new warehouse for a week.

I got 'runner's high' on that somehow I guess. It's also very delightful I've been blessed with the physical health of being able to do that even though I don't work-out and haven't exercised any need for that kind of arm strength for a very long time.

Most of my strength lies within my legs, I love to run.

As for my lungs, I still have yet to figure out what's wrong with 'em.

I'll run for a few miles an pass out, My #1 assumption here is that I have a low lung capacity, I've been trying to find out ways to increase it.

The main difference between Bronys and Furries is that Bronys don't burn nearly as well.

I'm ready for someone to take that too seriously.

COME AT BE BRO!

The Aperature Science brony can handle temperatures up to 1000 degrees kelvin...

I like the "Wingboner" meme, I think that's funny...

Watching South Park and playing Fallout 3.

TIMMAH!!!

Anyone else think this should be moved to forum games?

There's a difference between ADD and ADHD?

ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder, which means you have a short attention span.

ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, people tend to think that people like this are always hopping off the walls...

I also have Asperger syndrome, which means my brain works differently from others...

People with Asperger syndrome tend to do things absentmindedly, and repetitively... And also lack social skills.

Bad attention spans + hyperactivity = A very off topic forum.

This is on topic.

This thread has no actual topic, it has a topic that we set for it.

Back on topic. We were discussing ADD and ADHD.
