But the "happiness" is fleeting—it's just a dopamine fix for most, unfortunately. :( .

It's a peculiar thing, but I distinctly remember practically every bit of enjoyment I got out of McD's, but I'd also much rather have a huge chunk of fresh pineapple. Eat nothing but fruits, nuts, vegetables, and grains for a 10 days and your appetite will change. :) .

No, I don't think you do. Because I don't have a problem with your post. I was just making a few observations about it and the thread, in general, which you seem to have taken as a personal attack. That's obviously regrettable. I didn't word your remarks differently. I used the same words from...

I have to say, this is truly bizarre reasoning. You're definitely barking up the wrong tree. .

People are entitled to their naive and indefensible opinions? If it's just an opinion and they're entitled to it, why does it need to be defensible? And "indefensible at the very least?" Is naivete vastly ("very") worse than something that is indefensible? This thread just seems to be...

Which is pretty much the point of the article from The Hill, and has not escaped my attention. But you're omitting some of the information, which is to be expected, I suppose. Evidently, 80% of the Bar consists of something called "Demonrats," so it probably doesn't matter how much you read...

@Wrangler To be clear, while the president does have the ability to effect the declassification of certain documents, he does not not have the arbitrary privilege to do so unilaterally. https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2022/10/fact-check-presidential-authority/ .

"Source?" Forgive me, but I don't think your statement is very representative of the article's intent and purpose, which seems to be clear enough from the first paragraph. And even the article itself makes some unsubstantiated claims. Political power and national security have always had a...

I don't think so. .

Sorry, but I have no interest in being led around by the nose to help expose whatever hobby horse subordinate to anti-ecumenism you're riding this week/month. However, as long as you've now quite characteristically steered us off-topic, you could make an effort to expose the nullification and...

It is actually "milk" to some faith groups. And we're off to the races! .

It looks like he was very active up until nearly the end of February and then started a thread as his last apparent post about a week later. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/what-is-christian-blasphemy.61608/post-1786909 I miss him. He was antagonistic at times (aren't we all?) but...

Sorry for the off-topic post @Debp. :( .

Hi, Jack! :waves: Uncle Sam has left the building, I think. In other news: In the mostly rural county where I live, road rage is probably the thing that I hate the most. It's truly remarkable compared to just 25 miles in any direction. If I don't encounter 2 or 3 cases in a day's time, I...

As usual, you're too kind to me. This post of yours is pretty handsome, too, if I may say so. I used to be very self-conscious about not being able to remember people's names and when I went to a week-long Lay Evangelist Training Seminar in '92 I asked around a bit about it and the Local...
