  Re: polygyny in "biblical times"
 
(...) It's not what I think-- it is what biblical scholars think. So again-- leave the exegesis to the ones who know what they are talking about. JOHN (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: American Idolatry
 
(...) I don't get this issue. My guess is that Leahy and Cheney are both asses. And who cares if Cheney profaned a senator?

  Re: Santorum Fails In His Effort To Pervert The Constitution
 
(...) Before I attempt this documentation, can you give me an idea of what would qualify as acceptable to you?

  Re: polygyny in "biblical times"
 
(...) The "ten virgins" are bridesmaids for the bride, not whatever you seemed to be implying (polygyny). Or were you just making some throw-away joke? JOHN (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) (snip) (...) I'm saying, he who has never dropped the F-bomb in conversation-- let him cast the first aspersion. (snip) (...) lol Please, Cheney has been around the block a few times.

  Re: Not the right way to exit?
 
(...) Well, let's see... Jackson didn't resort to legal action to get himself installed as president against the will of the people.

(...) Well, there's multiple layers at work here. The intellectual ones are: That form of protest should be, in order to maintain the psychological power that it holds, reserved for the very most important levels of dissatisfaction, not the trivial.

  Re: Not the right way to exit?
 
(...) I thought it was Jackson. Didn't he start the "to the victor go the spoils" politics in the US? Chris (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
