Time for Teletubbies bye-bye.

Re: A caveat
the hatemonger Christophobic types
Yes, when one looks upon the life and mind of Jerry Falwell, one can really only reach one inescapable conclusion: Christians have it so rough.
Wow, I can't even type that without throwing up in my mouth a little.

Re: A caveat
Speaking of God, here's another morsel of wisdom from his book written by wise King Solomon:
Proverbs 29:27 "An unjust man is an abomination by the righteous; And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked."
Is that before or after the part of the Bible where God slams airplanes into buildings because he doesn't like the ACLU?

Re: a funeral is a funeral
I agree with you, Buz, that we're seeing inappropriate, boorish behaviour on this board. It is wholly unworthy of the people I see signing their names to it. I never thought I'd say this of the friends I find myself saying it of, but it's true: I am ashamed of them.
That's unfortunate. But look on the bright side... some day we'll all die, and become magically immune to criticism. Then all that shame will just be washed clean.

Re: A caveat
You think Falwell the cancelor and founder of a large university and pastor of a large church earned more than the average chancelor/large church pastor? I doubt you even know his salary.
I doubt I was even talking about his salary. But you keep on doin' your thing, man.

Re: A caveat
I don't give a shit if it's disrespectful. I say "fuck Jerry Falwell". Today is a day to rejoice!
Although I'm on your side here... just for shits, I thought it might be fun to fire up the ol' WAYBAC machine.

However, it goes against everything I believe to criticize a man or woman during the period when family and friends are mourning their death. I would observe the same formality no matter who died, except perhaps for a murderer or rapist.
I bring this up not to make fun of Berberry. I'm not so gone that I carry a message board grudge for three years. But perhaps those who are turning their noses up about how disrespectful it is to speak ill of the dead might do well to take a poke at the difference between his reaction to those two events, and realize that they too might change their tune if the dead person had a greater impact on their own life.

Re: A caveat
If the first 2 humans were men and they were gay where would you be?
If the first 2 humans were women and they were lesbians where would you be?
You do know that two straight guys can't breed, nor can two straight women, right?

Re: Falwell Biographer/Friend A Homosexual
Although in the case of a ghost writer, I think it'd be "gay people are my friends when I pay them!"
