BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wote when asked to share her 'beauty tips.' It was read at her funeral years later.


AUDREY HEPBURN'S BEAUTY SECRETS

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.


For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.


For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.


For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.


People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed.


Never throw out anyone.


Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.


As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself,


And the other for helping others.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


This was an email I received to send to all my beautiful woman friends, but EVERY WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL, so this is for you.


Audrey Hepburn has always been my all-time favorite female celebrity.


Share this with another woman and you will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.


Quotes for the day:

Every person has a spark of divinity built into their very molecules which is compelled to make a major contribution. Like a blueprint you were born with, this unique gift works through you and is committed to lifting the suffering of others through the expression of a specific virtue. When you are living in alignment with your blueprint, invisible hands seem to assist your every effort.
- from the Amazing Darren Gibson's website.


If news is not really news unless it is bad news, it may be difficult to claim we are an informed nation. - Norman Cousins, editor of Saturday Review

"Give up the need to be more, better or different. Give up wanting to be like or liked by someone else."




And here is my other favorite actress of all time: Julie Christie, pictured here in Dr. Zhivago

  1. I hate to use this space for doing this, but I think it's important to mention, since our own media seems to be hellbent on underreporting it.

    There has been yet another right wing terror attack in America. This one killed a 9 year old girl.

    This is getting scary serious, folks.

  2. Thats ttagic JR............these are truly sick, twisted and deluded people both the Right Wing Terrorists and their supporters who pretend they arent supporters and try and pin these wack jobs on the left.

  3. Mike, our media failed to do its job clear back in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing. If they'd been the least bit diligent, they'd have had a good, long look at McVeigh's buddies down in Elohim City in Oklahoma, and they'd have found out that McVeigh had himself a whole lot of support for his operations.

    The Oklahoma City bombing was NOT just the work of Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols, although they surely both acted as the principals. The casing of the Murrah building, the methodology used to take it out, and the cover-up of the conspiracy afterward was planned and handled by people who still are, for all I know, active with the white separatist movement. And no one should make the mistake of believing that people like the "minutemen" aren't heavily intertwined with the people who brought us Oklahoma City; they ARE.

  4. That is so tragic JR.

    Is anyone putting this all together in the MSM?

    Thank you for your research and posting.

    ReplyDelete
  5. The MSM, for some reason, doesn't want to. But the information isn't exactly what I'd call hard to find. I will have more on this very soon; I think it's important to understand Elohim City and how many different tentacles have emanated from it.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I'm looking forward to your post JR........I'm not familiar with what your talking about but I think these connections NEED to come to light and we need to pressure government and law enforcement to take down these terrorists and their supporters.

    Tim Mcveigh was from Buffalo the city I grew up in and from what I have heard he had his own litle "militia" up there.......I think you are 100% right these idiots were NOT working alone they had plenty of support.

  7. nice job jr,

    you sourced a truncated article. her own mother denounced her, and she had been in trouble with the very right wing nutjobs she claimed to have been working for because she was a loon. yup, right winger. yup, crazy idiot. yeah, absolutely horrible. but not any more an accurate sample of the group than the rioters after the game last night are Lakers.

    btw, judging from voting data, they were most likely democrates. thought i would point that out.

  12. I have some of the information on Elohim City up tonight, complete with links for your educational pleasure.

    If you haven't looked into it, do so. You will find that a hell of a lot of information on Elohim City, and those who hang out there, is coming not from leftist bloggers like me, but university, law enforcement, and local newspaper sources.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Look at kevin the inbred IDIOT spewing Rush Limbaugh BS.........that the terrorist murdering people are left wingers..........sorry bud but EVERYONE knows its Right wing terrorist extremists that are murdering people just like they know Right Wingers like YOU and rush and liars that are full of shit.


    I dont know if you are the BIG K that was here 4 years ago but.......judgeing by your intelect and talking points your a guy who would bring a knife to a gun fight just like the repug IDIOTS that haunt this blog do regularly with their LACK of intelligence and ignorance...........your none too smart Kev.......so my bet is you have been knuckle dragging your way in here for 4 years now and you haven learned a damn thing or gotten any smarter which is truly sad.

  14. I'll check that out right now JR!

  15. wow, i am completely derailed by spelling. my nemesis. they are truly a dumbass that hinges their argument on that one. it means you have nothing else.

    look, the chick was a looney right winger. i never said otherwise. both mike and jr missed that. because you neanderthalls cant read. dont blame me because you were born with a single digit iq. maybe that is why your demoncrats.

    my two points were, and they still stand, was that she is not well liked on my side of the fence either, and that you did not source a full article. because you are reading filtered stuff. because you dont do your homework. because you are that damn stupid and gullible that the people writing from the source you sent know you wont look any further.

  16. and mike,

    you dont remember me, so let be be clear. i would bring a bigger gun to a gun fight.

    the main point i have is there are people on your side of the fence who are no better when it comes to using violence. they have always been there, and people like you who deny it are simply ignorant of the truth. any time people get as frothing at the mouth as you guys are there is potential for violence. and you are plenty unhinged.

    First of all STUPID......you were LITERALLY advocating bringing a knife to a gunfight and you wore your ignorance like a badge of honor.........so either your not the real Big k........or else like a typical repug you CHOOSE to forget your own idiocy and hippocrissy.


    Secondly and more important THERE ARE NOT TERRORISTS ON THE LEFT MURDERING PEOPLE IN CURRENT TIMES........thats a slimy right wing lie aimed at deceiving the ignorant, muddying the watters and deflecting the responsibility and blame from where it REALLY belongs the fringe extremist Right Wing who ARE THE ONES MURDERING PEOPLE THEY DONT LIKE OR AGREE WITH.


    See Simple Simon people on "my side of the fence" arent going around murdering people........despite the lies of ignorant evil Volksturm like Rush and you who defend and support these pieces of terrorist sludge subtly, covertly and in cowardly incognito form because you dont have the courage to do it openly.

    Sure you say you dont agree with murder then you qualify it with a million terms and justifications that your not really upset, the person who was murdered was an evil babykiller........it wasnt really a Right Winger who killed him blah blah blah.

    ReplyDelete
  20. See you inbred Right wing trolls keep spewing the Rush lies/talking points that these terrorists were left wing and both the left and right have extrtemists...........but the fact is NO ONE believes your BS lies anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  21. And like I said Big K I most certainly remember you...........YOu were the IDIOT advocating bringing a knife to a gun fight........that kind of idiocy is hard to forget.

  22. And widdle K she was NOT just a fringe player,

    she was part of FAIR and part of the racist hate filled anti imigration groups like the "minute men",

    You know astroturf groups reich-wingers create to make the dishonest claim they have a grassroots movement behind them;

    IE; the racists and bigots employed by the John Tanton Network that are part of the GOper base st Sarah played to in her helping st johnny the delusional LOSE because the majority of Americans saw you idiots for the bone heads you have always been.

    So as usual you lied here like most reich-wing trolls do ..... go back to claiming knives are more dangerous then guns, stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  23. wow, bringing up conversation from 4 years ago. awesome. lets not get into that old stuff. we have other business at hand.

    i mentioned this on another thread, but the predominant party of gang members is.....drumroll please...... democrats. you forgot about that one, huh? and they do more damage than a couple of nut jobs on the right. that chick is a minor player. she thought she was more than that, but she simply had a big mouth. and the minutemen didnt like her either, for being a nut job and not following the rules. and her mother denounced what she was doing. you missed it, BECAUSE YOU DONT QUESTION YOUR SOURCES!!! the whole reason i visit sites like this is to question my information and make sure i am seeing as much of it as possible. i doubt you can say the same thing. but i am ignorant and stupid, only because i dont agree with you guys.

    nice deflection by bringing up that old crap. i am the original big k, and i remember you being a crying little girl before who worf had to come rescue a few times. even lydia was more man than you buddy.

    heres another story for you about violent lefties. i was on another blog like this and apparently pissed of a gay group. the facilitator of the blog threatened to post my information so that the pink pistols could come by my house and pay me a visit. i remember lydia getting pretty upset that someone did that to her once and the consequences were very upsetting for her. dont tell me that every one of you guys are peaceful. its a crock.

    ReplyDelete
  24. wow clif. nice 4 page screed that has no refferences. they guy throws out a name, says he is a racist, and we have no idea who he is or what he does to deserve this, and there you go. and there are examples of this on your side. peter lewis, soros, and the like do the exact same thing. if anything that guy learned how to buy influence from them.

    even if they are raging jackass racists, and it is true they are "astroturf" organizations, would that not prove my point that they are not indicative of the group (meaning right wingers)? or did you with your staggering intellect not think of that? and lastly, as ignorant and short sighted as racism is, it does not mean these people are those groups are advocating violence. you hate me probably as much as they do the object of their ire, and are you ready to break into my house and shoot me? think about this stuff guys. just because people dont agree with you doesnt make them evil be default. use those supposedly superior brains and think for a bit.

  25. kevin the inbred troll lied,

    the whole reason i visit sites like this is to question my information and make sure i am seeing as much of it as possible.


    What bullshit. I am pretty damned comfortable with the sources of information I have on the "Minuteman" murderers. I realize that my sources aren't Rush, but about 93% of us know that Rush is a dope addict lying gasbag. The other 7% are too stupid to be taken seriously. They can't even tell a good lie, as you demonstrate above.

    Go back home to your sister/wife, troll.

    ReplyDelete
  26. hey jr,

    where did i say i was listening to rush? he is on right now, and i am not listening to him. i have not caught his program in quite some time. you can feel comfortable all you want with your censored information, the fact is you missed part of the article because you are getting your info from someone no better than rush but with a viewpoint you agree with. simply google a few sentences of the article you started the thread with, and you can find the rest of it. that is all i did. and you can get a full version without someone telling you what to think about it too.

    nice dig on the wife too. really shows your intellegence and maturity. i guess that slays me right there. i cant call someone a poopy head or equivalent, so i must be unqualified to discuss these things. the worst part is i think that is all you got. which is why only 2 or 3 people stay here for a while. the rest get tired of the schoolyard antics and go somewhere looking for real discourse.

    and yes, i do go to many different blogs and sources for information. i even read al-jazeera, or as much as i can stomach. daily kos, bradblog. you name it, i have been there. this on top of a few sites of people i like. just to keep things interesting. its funny, here i am, proof of what i say, and you still think i would lie about seeking alternative views. i thought this site said that us red staters should come here because lydia would bridge the gap and make people feel included and blah blah blah. you really dont believe your own crap, do you.

  27. Hey Big K! Long time no see...

    BTW, not to ruin you guys day or anything but have you seen the latest gallup poll that shows the largest ideological voting bloc is conservatives at 40%?

    Quite a good showing for a group you've called dead or dying.

    Yeah but we're probably second you libtards say? Not so.

    You came in third at a mere 21%, behind even the moderates who placed at 35%...

  28. Senator John Ensign, Republican of Nevada, admitted Tuesday that he had an extramarital affair with a member of his campaign staff.

    This is the same Republican hypocrite who chastised Clinton for his affairs.

  29. BTW John Ensign is cheating on his wife, something he wanted to IMPEACH the Clenis for doing.

    Sen. John Ensign of Nevada, a conservative Republican with evident presidential ambitions, abruptly announced Tuesday he carried on an extramarital affair for much of last year with a woman on his campaign staff, a confession that jarred his scandal-weary state as well as his party.

  30. dolty knows that his poll disagrees with nearly every other poll-and, far more importantly, EVERY GENERAL ELECTION RESULT SINCE 2006. dolty also knows that about 1 in 4 of us call ourselves Rushpublican. So, why does he do this? He's trying to feed his other trolls. The problem is, the only thing on dolty's menu is sh*t. That's fine for his trolls, but far less than palatable for the rest of us.

    dolty, I remember how your ilk would blare every new Zogby poll that supposedly showed how Palin was gonna throw the election to McCain. I tried to tell you idiots then that you were full of it, but you don't listen to anything not coming out of Limbaugh's a$$.

    good post will, i was thinking spitzer when i read everyone else here. we could talk about "refrigerator" jefferson and how about the idiots who re-elected him. but i get the feeling that we are in the midst of such sophisticants.


    2 major differences here. (1.) is that we strongly condemn corruption wherever it may be, while you strongly condemn anybody who dares to call your Deities out on it. (2.) is that in sheer quantity, your heroes have the dems licked by a country mile. But you keep trying to spin those isloated examples into a strawman you can beat on.

  50. One of the biggest problems that I've had over the years with the Sovereign States Movement is the fact that it seems to have been infiltrated and now dominated by some of the most hardcore white supremacists around. The White Nationalist Movement is very much alive and has latched onto the whole Sovereign States/10th Amendment movement.
    The original intent of the 10th Amendment, IMO, was to provide a check and balance against the Federal Government. Ever since it was passed, it seems like Washington has been trying to narrow it down and limit it as much as possible. Throughout a lot of our history some of our most important legal precedents were set as a result of this especially in the field of human rights.
    I think that the death knell of the 10th Amendment was sounded on March 21st, 1861 when Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the newly formed Confederate States of America made the following statement.
    "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the White Man; that slavery and subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first in the history of the world based on this great physical, philosophical and moral truth."
    After this increasingly States Rights became equated with racism. It's a shame, really, because originally it served a good purpose.

  52. mike,

    when i say that you are not contributing, i mean that you are simply deflecting. what the hell is the sock puppet crap about? why on earth would someone go through posts of a bunch of years ago just so they can pose as some guy that maybe no one remembers anyway? it has been 3 or 4 years now. sheesh. aparently i got under your skin though. all those times calling you a little girl must have really hurt. hehe. you liberals are so fragile.

    and about wanting worf back. i could care less if i ever talk to that lying idiot again. i was hoping nothing happened to the guy, but as long as it hasnt, i am fine right here calling you a little girl. it works for me.

    thanks lydia about the missing posts. i know we never saw eye to eye or anything, but i always thought you were respectable. its good to know that my faith is not in vain there. now all i have to do is get mike to lay off his crack pipe long enough for the adults to talk.

    so back to mike. lets recap. i have brought up "the fridge" jefferson, being threatened by a liberal group with physical harm to me and my family in a similar way that lydia was, that there are other lefties that are violent people and that is not simply a right wing thing and given examples. and mike has said i am stupid, married to my sister, and a sock puppet.

    i think that i win. unless, little girl, you have something to say that is meaningfull. i am doubting it. i really think you have to concentrate to breath. i honestly think you are impared in some way. prove me wrong. prove you are able to formulate a coherent statement. just one.

    Actually asswipe.........the TRUTH something you inbred repug imbeciles cant even recognize is I NEVER even talked to you.........i'll say this slow so even a Simple Simon like you can understand..........that means I if I never talked to you then I NEVER accused you of being some Senator or Ann Coulter.

    Sorry crusty, but it is the right wingers that are killing children, and it's been that way for 30 years. You can't spin that one. They kill little children to finance their white supremacist operations. Or sometimes, like Republican voter McVeigh, they kill children to make a point. And yes, these people are hand-in-glove with the "pro life" movement.

    Since the Rushpublicans like to talk about Jefferson and misappropriation of money, I thought it might be interesting for them to explain how one of their "values" champions has been spending Rushpublican money. Some "values," eh?

  58. mike,

    maybe you are misunderstanding the "coherent statement" challenge. lets assume, just for a moment that i am big k. because it is just ludicrous otherwise, but whatever. do you have something for the subject at hand? or are you unable to contribute in a meaningfull way? i called you stupid, and i mean that in the most sincere way. people throw that around a lot, but really, you are purile, inane, obtuse, nonsensicle, and all around unintellegent. i am asking you to prove me wrong, in some small part by saying something noteworthy. and all you can do is more of the same idiocy. maybe you can talk about something you look up and refference it. hell, you could start with some proof that i am a different person. you dont have any, but you can try to point some out. or you can discuss some of the political stuff we all come here for. anything. try it. screw it up, whatever, but really, name calling doesnt become intellectuals, like those who you think you are.

    someone thought i was coulter, if it wasnt you, i am sorry. but it was a few years ago, and i dont feel like looking it up. someone did though. it really struck me as odd back then.

  59. ah!!!

    see mike, you can learn a thing or two from jr.

    30 years of proof is harly 2 people and their stupidity. especially since we as a group do not endorse them. i know you are not going to listen to that, but once again, horrible people come out of our group, we say they are what they are. we try to cut them from positions of power as fast as we can. we want them in jail as bad as you do. and in the case of murdurers, we endorse the death penalty for them the same as anyone else guilty of that crime. you can not say that we gave mcveigh a pass on that one. however, clinton, reno, and company raided a camp in waco texas and killed kids there too. there was no evidence of wrongdoing found afterwards, and both clinton and reno have cried about it on tv. no charges. no jailtime. and they are still liberal favorites. my point that there are monsters on your side of the fence is not quashed. and my further point that you remain intentionally ignorant of it remains equally strong. but good try. mike, seriously. take notes.

    ensign is another singular jerk. cheated on his wife. may have done some dirty dealings otherwise. lets see if he is re-elected 7 times like, i dunno, say teddy kennedy. then you will have a point. otherwise, meh, not so much.

    and really jr, dont fall for mikes delusions that i am some other guy. i dont know if you were around under a different name some time ago or what, but i am the same big k i was before, sans the hair anyway.

  61. I have no idea who Kevin is, Mike. Maybe he's Rusty. Maybe he isn't. All I know is that I personally have been falsely accused many, MANY, times; of being some Russian dude, of being something called a "Bartlebee imposter" (THAT is my personal favorite LOL), of making anonymous commentary, of being Nicholas and, YES, tormenting MYSELF!! Bartlebee even implied that I was Voltron, MCH, and Frank Frey. So, I might be willing to give the guy a break and take his word here. At least for a while, no?

    My deepest condolences on the passing of your father. I lost mine back in 1996. He was 88 years. He was a good man, a great cop, and one helluva dad. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him and my mom and what they both meant to me.

    i hope you were not serious. the batf and the fbi are both federal agencies, and as such do not answer to state authorities. reno was the direct leader, and clinton made the policy. state troopers told the feds that they had inspected the compound some weeks before and found nothing. the feds pressed on with their own investigation anyway, and the rest is history.

    i do vaguely remember you guys. i pretty much left one night when my wife was pregnant and worf was on me about not posting enough. i have always told my wife that she has no worries of me cheating on her, i just cant handle more than one woman in my life. that pretty much proved it. worf lost.

    as far as my existence or nonexistance is concerned, it baffles the mind that an veteran internet blog denizen such as mike has not figured out by now that the administrator of blogs such as this can get some information on where you are. city and state is readily available, and i doubt the people he is accusing me of being live in my small town. so i was having a little fun with that one. all he would have to do is ask, and i am sure lydia, or whoever manages this thing can answer that one pretty quick, and he doesnt have to have a coronary over it.

  119. that would prove nothing, since those discussions are in the arichives. if someone were to assume my identity (and one can assume that if someone is going to drudge up a name from a few years ago, they would have done that already), all they would have to do is quickly review old posts. and the last think i remember us talking about was your insistance that i post more and stop using my sick wife as an excuse. and i already mentioned that.

    nope, the best way is to check my ip, and i am sure you guys can figure that one out easily enough. if i am in the same town as some of the other guys, it goes a lot farther into proving something.

    Well, if you are Big K then the last "THINK" you'd remember would be your pitiful attempts at convincing us of how the people "wanted the inquisition".

    That along with your pitiful attempts to convince us the "inquisition" was comprised of the Spanish Inquisition only, based no doubt on your ready familiarity with Monty Python's Flying Circus.

    I also remember your misplaced narcissistic hubris that compelled you on a regular basis to boast of your own perceived superiority while constantly demeaning others displaying twice your intellectual capacity. Which is admirable given your home schooled vernacular, comedic fracturing of historical events and general inability to post a coherent, literate comment in anything remotely resembling a timely manner.

    That I remember.

    So who knows?

  123. well, worf, here it is from the hooked on phonics website,

    Hooked on Phonics® Learn to Read Pre-K Edition Deluxe gives children ages 3 to 4 the foundation they need to get ready to read. Kids learn letter names, letter sounds, and phonemic awareness skills through fun, motivating activities and lots of encouragement.

    i see nothing in that description about sentence structure or capitalization, but i may differ to you on this one, since you are no doubt have recent experience in it.

    and although i remember our discussion on the inquisition, i was not sure if it was our last discussion, and did not care to look at old posts to double check. besides, what i said is correct, my location can be verified easily, and so can someone read what was said before. the only way for someone to know for sure is to look.

    you seem to think that our time together meant so much that i have been counting the days since our last talk. i no more remember the finer details of our last meeting that i do what i had for lunch last tuesday.

    and my wife was sick, because she had just gotten pregnant moron. we did not know that at the time.

    lastly, you were quite insistant that i post more. and your current post about how i could not keep up with you is surely not proof of your own point. i worked full time. went to school part time, and had a house and wife to care for. its not like i cant keep up with you, its that you dont rate that high. nor should someone who claims to have so much knowledge, but when challenged for credentials replys they have none. i do remember that discussion.

  124. also, as i mentioned to someone else here, you were the only one who was something of a challenge. if i sound like i am superior to someone like mike or jr in intellectual fisticuffs, it is because they are simply deficient in the art. mike can barely compose a simple sentence, and has proven himself unable to reason his way out of a paper bag. i am just calling it like i see it.

    i am sure no one wants to get back into our inquisition discussion here. i would be happy to revisit it somewhere more appropriate if you wish.

  125. There's nothing to revisit.

    You were unaware of the various "Inquisitions" and the Suppression of Heresy through the ages, and thought the "Inquisition" was comprised of the Spanish Inquisition only.

    When I explained to you the various Papal Inquisitions, and the previous Suppression of Heresy long before the better known Inquisitions, you choked, cried about your wife being sick and disappeared.

    and as i said, i dont bother to spell check. i used to, but i stopped a long time ago. we get it. my spelling needs improvement. i will ask you the same thing i asked mike, do you have something pertinant, timely, useful, to say? or are you simply blowing smoke as usual.

    hooked on phonics has nothing to do with vocabulary or the meaning of words, only how to spell them. let me say that again. it pertains to how to spell words. nothing about grammar or meaning or anything else. i would think you knew that, the way you were lecturing me on it. but isnt that your modus operandi? to talk like an authority on something you dont even bother to research for a few minutes while insulting others? at least we all know that this is the real worf. he is just as much of a blowhard as he ever was.

    You pointed out that you thought the people wanted the "inquisition" and thought it "necessary". (please, try the Speak-N-Spell)

    You provided no evidence of that ignorant notion, as the people themselves were terrified of the inquisitors, and said whatever the church wanted to hear.

    That's the nature of unholy oppression. The truth is whatever the oppressor says it is.

    And you also repeatedly tried to claim the "inquisition" lasted for only a few hundred years, until I set you straight on the fact there was no one "Inquisition" and that they spanned the history of the Catholic Church, as the Suppression of Heresy.

    You tried claiming then you "meant" the Spanish inquisition, as if that were the only inquisition you knew of, and even then I had to explain to you that the Spanish Inquisition lasted close to 400 years, not the couple hundred you tried to assert.

    You lost on every count.

  140. i pointed out that your numbers of the atrocities of the inquisition were exaggerated to the point of dishonesty. i also pointed out that in the case of the spanish inquisition the church had decried executions, it was the local government that was doing that against the church. i was really making the point that your knowledge of history was shaped by your views, not the other way around. you never proved that wrong, because you were too hung up on your perceived superiority.

    Well, since I went to college about a quarter of a century ago, own several homes, run two businesses and made more last year than your house probably cost, I don't think we need to worry about "what I've done".

    I've "done" just fine, thank you.

    As for your "degree", to bad it didn't include a basic grasp of the English language.

    See, you might try rereading what I actually said and you'll see the "loser" reference was with regards to the debate.

    Which should be obvious to anyone with even a rudimentary comprehension of the English language.

    No, what you pointed out was based on your ignorance of the Suppression of Heresy through the ages, and based on your Monty Python knowledge of the Spanish Inquisition as the solitary offense by the Catholic church.

    as to going to college, you can finally shed light on that. you mentioned before going to "catholic college" but did not say which one. what did you do there? did you finish a program? or did you simply go there because they had great burritos in the cafeteria and run around talking smack about it ever since? so many people do that online these days. i did ask this question before, and i got the answer i was expecting. what are you going to say now?

    and you lied again. i never said the only misdeeds done in the history of the church were done during the spanish inquisition. this is a good reason to move on from this discussion. you are either forgetting what was said, or deliberately misstating it. lying idiot comes back to mind. go back and read for comprehension, or simply go back to where you were last week. you have nothing new to talk about apparently, since i have asked quite a few times to come back on topic and you keep stalling.

    You implied it.

    I pointed out the abuses of the Catholic church since practically its inception. You responded by trying to pretend the only crimes were the Spanish Inquisition, even though I had already pointed out abused dating back to the 4th Century

    Big K said...

    One more thing, just because you keep bringing it up.

    The Inquisition saw many abuses of power.


    Note I had been discussing the abuses brought on by the suppression of heresy as early as the 4th century, yet you chose to pretend I was referring to the Spanish Inquisition, and thus implied that's all there was.

    Big K said...

    You know a little bit about it, I can see that. But did you know that the lay people of the time asked for the church to take action against the errors going on? People were tired of liars painting signs of stigmata on themselves and talking money out of innocent people. Or worse crimes.

    The Inquisition lasted 400 years (not 700) because many generations of people thought it necessary. Read books of the time and you will see the lay people had little fear of the officers doing this work. An example of this would be Miguel de Cervantes’ famous book “Don Quixote.” He lived during the time, mentions the Inquisition, but not in a way you might expect.


    Here we clearly see you claiming the "Inquisition" lasted 400 years, trying to pretend that the Spanish Inquisition was all there was. Even though I had been quite clear already about time periods long before the onset of the Spanish Inquisition.

    You were being dishonest. Like you are now. Hoping no one would notice.

    But I noticed.

    Then, when I challenged you on the fact that the Inquisition(s) encompassed much more than the Spanish Inquisition, you back pedaled, spouting nonsense about errors while never acknowledging the actual "Inquisitions" until I spelled it out for you.


    big k said...

    When I mentioned the Inquisition, I was referring to the Spanish Inquisition, which by my records lasted from Sixtus IV decreeing his papal Bull in 1478 until it was finally ended on 15 July 1834. Actually, the last person executed under the Inquisition was said to be Cayetano Ripoli on 26 July, 1826. That the office of the Inquisition lasted longer than that, and in some capacity still does, proves nothing of your point.

    When I mentioned that sinners in the midst of the church. I submit to you that it is not the policy of the church to breed such things, and that, again, since some impurities in the church have bubbled to the top means nothing.


    Then you finally had to start admitting your own errors, and acknowledge that I had been openly talking about much more than the Spanish Inquisition (even though you tried to pretend that's all there was)


    Big K said...

    Worfeus,

    Sorry, I did read your post. The Bull you cite is correct, and the pope made such policy.


    What I meant was the history of the Inquisition has been skewed in ways that originally it did not intend, and there is literature of the time that supports my point. Obviously, as I have already stated, and the church has as well, errors were committed, and are no longer in effect. Errors will continue to be present, as we are all fallible humans.


    I corrected you and pointed out accurately that the suppression of heresy had started as far back as the 4th century, and possibly earlier, and was not limited to the 400 years you tried to pretend in your pathetic attempts to excuse away the atrocities committed by the Catholic church.

    You claimed falsely that it was a "few sinners" in the church.

    And I set you straight.

    THE SONGS OF SLAPPIUS (aka The Songs of Big K)

    From THE DIVINARUM LUDICRUM

    IX:V THE LAMENTATIONS

    ______________________


    While browsing one day on this room did I fall,

    My presence unknown as I heard from them all.

    As banter regaled to the lies of the left,

    I noticed one there who it seemed I could best.


    I listened to him as to what he might say,

    A heretics words that were pointing my way.

    Enough! I cried out, as your lies do not tell,

    The tortures of those who were bound straight for hell.

    Their stripes did they earn as they lied to the saints,

    The Inquisitors true and the picture he paints.

    So show me a book this is truth I assert,

    As the pyre's not hot, and the rack does not hurt.



    He offered with dates and with names could I care,

    I'd dismiss them again and say show me just where.

    Your words are not true, I did not pick this fight,

    But I'll stay and defend as I know that I'm right.


    And if from my words does he publish his sin,

    I'll dismiss them with ease and say show me again.

    But then as I read from the page of my prose,

    I saw my own err that I downplayed their woes.


    But wait what is truth, if the Church sayeth not,

    As the rack does not hurt and the pyre's not hot.


    So I gird up my loins as I stare down the keys,

    And I fight back the lies that are coming at me;

    Though I think to myself as I try to spell seemed,

    I have never me thinks, seen my clock so well cleaned.

    Isnt it disapointing how the worst of history constantly repeats itself..........look how the regressive extremists of the church used torture to surpress knowledge and the facts and twist them into the dishonest message they want it to be and how their fanatical supporters try to defend and whitewash those tactics and minimize the wrongs that werer done as a "few sinners" or a "few bad apples"

    From the 4th century to Dick Cheney and his torturing treasonous war crimininals and the evil twisted men that defend them like Voltron, Rusty, FF, Big K..........very little has changed over the last thousand plus years and thats disapointing.

  167. Oh and "Big K/Rusty" you seem to have an even bigger problem with the facts than you do with literacy and the english language.


    See

    1) you had 2 serious debates in here that lasted at least 3 weeks and were intense enough not to forget.......the first and main one was about the Inquisition........the second was about bringing a knife to a gunfight.......something YOU claimed was a good idea.......my references to that went right over your head and thats NOT something Big K would have forgetting after debating for weeks in fact i think that was the last discussion you had in here.


    2) I NEVER really discussed anything with you, or even really talkied to you..........so your claim I did was a lie just as statement i claimed you were a certain senator or Ann Coulter.........first I NEVER claimed ANYONE was a senator or Ann Coulter.......but that just serves to show either you are not Big k........or if you are Big K is a liar or is chronically getting his facts wrong and not too credible.


    3) its really not very normal to come into a blog after over 4 years and start incessantly and obsessively talking about another blogger who isnt even here and hasnt been in months when you dont even know that blogger and have only talked with him on the internet for a few weeks almost half a decade ago.

    Therefore I find it far more likely your not the real Big K but some gutless troll punk trying to hijack the thread into troll babble because thats all you bitter irrelevant losers have left to do.

    "Errors will continue to be present, as we are all fallible humans."

    for someone with such a giant intellect as yourself, and an expert grammarian, you surely cannot read for comprehension. we were talking about the inquisition(s) and not encompassing the whole history of the church. that is until you decided on your own that was what we were talking about, and you changed the subject. and thank you again for pointing out that i said that the errors in the church were not inherently part of church teaching. never was, but you keep distorting those facts. you said you went to “catholic college,” whatever the hell that meant. then you should know that the church never advocated such things as policy. i guess you were too busy checking your books for misspellings to get any of it

    oddly, for someone who sees no reason to open that old can of worms, you are quite resolved to spill them all over the place.

    More lies from a man who comes into a thread after 4 years talking incessantly about me and then turns around and calls me the obsessed one.

    Yours is a endless tapestry of straw arguments and lies.

    And here you lie again.

    As I've shown, we were NOT talking about the "Inquisition".

    Try your scroll button, as it seems to be broken.

    I was talking about the abuses of the Catholic church as documented in the Divine Institutes by Lactantius, who lived in the FOURTH CENTURY CE.

    I pointed out the abuses of the Church spanning a 700 year period, and you in turn responded with a straw argument.

    This straw argument.

    The Inquisition lasted 400 years (not 700) because many generations of people thought it necessary


    There's no way around this, no matter how fast you tap dance.

    My comments even stated the time period of Lactantius, and the oppression from the Suppression of Heresy in the FOURTH Century.

    And you responded by trying to seed a straw argument, by lying, trying to pretend I was talking about the Spanish Inquisition when I had already made it clear I was not, but instead was talking about a much wider span of abuses from the early mother church.

    So lie.

    Lie lie lie Big K. That's all you've got.

    As for fury, another strawman from a peabrain who knows nothing but lies.

    I mocked you. That is not "fury".

    But you say it is, and thus you run with another strawman intended to shore up your untenable positions.

    You're the one who came in after four years, and couldn't stop talking about me, and then you accuse me of being the obsessed one.

    You're the one who responded four years ago, to comments I had made about the FOURTH CENTURY abuses of the catholic church, by trying to pretend that I was talking about the Spanish Inquisition.

    And now you're the one accusing me of the fury, when in fact all I've done is mock a big fool.

    When you have something honest to say, you let me know chief.

    In the meantime, you've been measured, bested, and found wanting.

  178. Straw Argument:

    A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1]

    To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

  179. Examples of straw arguments from Wikipedia;

    * Political debate:

    Person A: The war in Iraq is wrong.

    Person B: You cannot convince me that liberty is a bad thing.

    (B has equated A's opposition to the war as an opposition to liberty which is easier to defeat).

    * A beach debate:

    Person A: Nude bathing is healthy and nude beaches should be permitted here.

    Person B: No, that kind of free sex threatens the morality of society.

    (B has misrepresented A's position as a call for sexual promiscuity, not nudity, which is what Person A called for. The escalation from nudity to sexual promiscuity makes the argument easier to defeat).

    Examples of Straw Arguments from Big K.


    WORFEUS PRESENTS THE FOLLOWING ARGUMENT:

    The Inquisition(s) which were ordered by Papal decree, spanned a 700 year nightmare reign of the most unspeakable tortures, rapes and murders our world has ever seen.

    When Pope Gregory IX wrote the French Bishops in the early 1200's advising them that the Church would condone more strict methods of determining heretics in the congregations, he was merely adding to a long list of heinous crimes and murder committed in the name of Christ by the Holy Mother Church at Rome.

    Early saints and leaders and teachers in the Church were already condemning the Church and the atrocities being committed in the name of Christ long before Gregory and the holy inquisitions.

    Lactantius was admonishing the church for vile crimes and tortures, as early as the 4th century.

    In 308 Lactantius wrote;
    ___________________________

    "What has the rack to do with piety?

    Surely there is no connection between truth and violence, between justice and cruelty.

    If you attempt to defend religion with bloodshed and torture, what you do is not defense, but desecration and insult".

    Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius
    From the Divinarum Institutionum Libri V (Divine Institutes)

    Here we see Worfeus was clearly referring to the not the Spanish Inquisition, but to all of the Inquisitions (hence the "S" at the end of the word) as well as all abuses performed under the guise of the Suppression of Heresy by the church.

    Worfeus even dates it back to 308 CE, so there can be no confusion.

    No doubt.

    No "gray area".


    And yet, Big K responds by BLATANTLY IGNORING everything Worfeus wrote, and instead just dishonestly CHANGES his words to mean merely the "Inquisition" i.e. the Spanish Inquisition.

    Observe.

    The Inquisition lasted 400 years (not 700) because many generations of people thought it necessary


    Big K has changed Worfeus's position and statements which clearly state the "INQUISITIONS(S)" and all abuse under the Suppression of Heresy, and changed it to merely the "[SPANISH] INQUISITION".

    Thus we see a perfect example of a straw argument being used to change his opponents argument, into an easier, simpler position to defend.

    You lose Big K.

    You lost then and you lose now.

  180. Well come on Big Liar.

    Come back and tell us "nuh uh" again.

    There's the words. There's what was written.

    I said the Inquisition(s) i.e. the Medieval through the Roman Inquisitions which ran officially from 1184 to 1860, or approximately 700 years.

    I also pointed out the Suppression of Heresy, which started long before the actual inquisitions, adding another 800+ years to the equation.

    You however responded, pretending I had said none of that, and pretended there was only one Inquisition, i.e. the Spanish Inquisition (which you obviously knew of from watching Monty Python movies) and pretended that it was all I had spoken of.

    Thus you were wrong on all counts.

    You built a straw argument, pretending that I had said the Spanish Inquisition.

    You were ignorant of the other official Inquisitions, as well as the Suppression of Heresy prior to the official onset of the Inquisitions, and 4 years later, you are no wiser, and no more honest.

    Yet last night you were boasting and bragging about your accomplishments over the last four years.

    Well, I don't know what throwback institution decided to give you a degree, or who sired the rug rats running around your trailer, but I do know this.

    You're as big of an idiot, and a liar, as you were four years ago.

    As your words, reposted for all to see, prove.

  183. You're wasting your time, big k. This Bartlebee guy can best be described as Oliver Stone on steroids (grassy knolls for as long as the eye can see). He accuses people of all sorts of Tom-foolery and it's up to them to prove their innocence (to which you can never adequately do in his eye, of course). If you want to engage anybody here, I would suggest sticking to Volt or Lydia. They both have strong opinions but at least they're willing take people at face value.

  184. That it's "no use" is of no doubt.

    Will, who has no role in this debate of me and Big K (Will supposedly was nowhere around 4 years ago), suddenly pops up to play the "concerned" friend of Big K.

    Will can clearly see Big K changing my statement on the "Inquisition(s)" and launching a straw argument about the "Inquisition" by simply removing the "S" from the word.

    Yet Will doesn't acknowledge that.

    Instead he launches a personal attack on me, and ignores the actual facts of the debate.

    The words are there.

    Big K removed the "s" which dramatically changed the nature of my statement, then proceeded to "correct me".

    He created the perfect example of a straw argument, and 4 years later he can't own up to it.

    Clearly you guys missed me. You couldn't stop talking about me even in my absence.

    But alas, you'll have to learn to do without.

    Because unfortunately I have better things to do than waste another couple of weeks arguing with a clown from 4 years ago who can't admit his own dishonesty, or the concern trolls sent in to cheer him on.

    Big K, if you'd shown an inkling of honesty and admitted to changing my word from "Inquisitions" to "Inquisition" then I'd have said "hey, glad to see an old debate opponent", and left it at that"

    But instead you came in, called me all sorts of foul, ugly names, even though I haven't commented in here in months, and was no where in sight.

    And after speaking with me you couldn't even admit your straw argument from the past.

    So you're just not worth my time.

    And the little dog who followed you in to yap at my feet? He's worth even less of my time, than you.

    If you have something of importance to say, you let me know.

    In the meantime the facts stand.

    You removed the "s" from Inquisitions to launch a straw argument.

    You also ignored the 800+ year period I'd referenced prior to the inquisitions.

    And you did it all, to make soft pedal and downplay the horror that was the crimes of the catholic church.

    Those are the facts.

    Deal with them.

  186. wow, worf. i am sorry i mentioned your name too many times. a bunch of it was to try to prove to mike that i am me. the rest was because i apparently had a discussion with rusty and volt. sheesh, thou shalt not use the name worf in vain.

    get off that i said your name too many times. honestly, that has to be the dumbest of your arguments.

    and you can bring up all that old stuff all you want. i said it before i will say if for the last time, and i will use small words for you. i am not interested in revisiting that stuff here. we can do it somewhere else. otherwise, the following is my last post on the subject.

    i had said years ago that you kept shifting the argument, and you did. it is impossible to discuss or learn anything from someone who is constantly changing the game. the subject of the inquisition came up. i thought we were talking about THE INQUISITION as commonly referred to. you lumped everything with the title of inquisition in there for fun. thinking along the aforementioned train of thought i missed your point. i even said that along the way somewhere, but when i got on track you brought up numbers that were exaggerated, i pointed that out, you said it wasnt a contest, and so on. somewhere along the way to prove your point you mentioned written history including josephus who was not relevant to the conversation, because you were deflecting and unable to admit you screwed up. when you were wrong, and you were, you didnt admit it at all.

    another of your old tricks was to act like i had said something to hurt your feelings so the whole time i was there i ended up trying to apologize to you for those supposed offenses. and you would reiterate them over and over again. i wont do it again. i said your name and you were not here. get over it.

    Another one of your attempts to rewrite the events.

    You mocked me for being obsessed.

    I pointed out that it was you who came into a blog where I haven't been in months, and had no comments whatsoever on the board, and couldn't stop talking about me.

    Wrong. Very very wrong.

    I repeatedly said "INQUISITIONS".

    I lumped nothing with the "title of inquisition".

    That's what YOU did.

    I said INQUISITION(S).

    REPEATEDLY.

    And I also referenced 800+ years PRIOR to the Inquisition(S).

    YOU, like the lying two bit punk you are, CHANGED it and REMOVED THE "S".

    You created a straw argument.

  192. The only one talking about the Spanish Inquisition, was you, with your Monty Python historical background (or is it hysterical?).

    No one could have confused my painstakingly detailed accounts dating back to the 4th Century, and the Divine Institutes, with the Spanish Inquisition.

    Regardless of how stupid they are.

    No one could have confused my repeated statements on the "Inquisition(S)" with the Spanish Inquisition.

    I never once said "the Inquisition".

    No one was talking about the "Inquisition".

    That's another one of your straw arguments (lies) to cover up your own stupidity.

    From my very first mention of it I made it clear I was talking about the Inquisition(S) and said, the Inquisition(S), and even pointed out they spanned a 700 year time span.


    You turned around, and said the "Inquisition", and then proceeded to correct me, claiming the "INQUISITION" lasted only 400 years.


    Had you been familiar with the other 3 official Inquisitions, you'd have never said that.

    But I educated you on them.

    I set you straight.

    No one could have mistaken what I wrote for the Spanish Inquisition.

    I repeatedly wrote "Inquisitions", and I referenced in detail, Lactantius and the Divine Institutes, and his reference to the Suppression of Heresy by the church, some 800 years prior to the onset of the official Inquisitions.

    I even gave you the date.

    308 AD.

    You turned around, and responded like a moron, saying "nuh uh, the InquisiTION lasted only 400 years, not 700".

    There was no way you could have "overlooked" my repeated references to both the Inquisition(S) and the 800+ years of Suppression of Heresy prior to them.

    No way.

    So there's only two possibilities.


    1. You were ignorant of the actual Inquisition(S) and knew only of the Spanish Inquisition.

    2. You were simply making a straw argument because of your comfort with dishonesty.


    Either way, you lost the debate then, and you lose now.

  193. I think mothers are the most beautiful women...up until they take flight with the "angels of passage". They wear the lines of love,pride,worry,concern and many smiles. They are sometimes hunched in the winter of their lives...from hard work,and going without...just to make sure their pride and joys get enough vitamins to grow up to be strong women and men. Mothers faces are beautiful when their kids are moms and dads...with families of their own...and they hardly have time to visit their mom and her beauty. When you visit a mother...after you have grown and moved with life's changes...look at your moms beautiful face...and notice the proud lines of love,worry,concern and satisfaction...because of the never changing passage of time in life...mom wears her lines and pains proudly...for she has done her job...with the grace of God...the very best she could. If your mom is still alive drop in and bring her some gingerbread...if she's gone...whisper a prayer of love and thanks...and do something nice,in her memory that would make her proud...after all...look at what a beautiful job she's done with you.

  194. Here, so there's no capability for you to lie further, or rewrite history, here's my FIRST comments on the subject, which clearly identify the Inquisition(S), (repeatedly) and the 800+ years prior to it of the Suppression of Heresy.

    See Big K, you may have overlooked their, let us say, untidy history but I did not.

    Jesus even warned the apostles repeatedly about the coming corruption in the church, and provided parables and idioms to help his followers discern the divinity of those professing to teach his gospel.

    " Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

    Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

    Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

    A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

    Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

    Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

    Matthew 7:15 - 20

    See, no good fruit is going to come from a bad tree, at least according to Christ, the guy supposedly at the head of the Church.

    So if the fruits bad, so is the vine.

    And of course the holy inquistions, the tortures, the crimes, these are what one might call, bad fruit.

    The Inquistions which were ordered by Papal decree, spanned a 700 year nightmare reign of the most unspeakable tortures, rapes and murders our world has ever seen.

    When Pope Gregory IX wrote the French Bishops in the early 1200's advising them that the Church would condone more strict methods of determining heretics in the congregations, he was merely adding to a long list of henious crimes and murder committed in the name of Christ by the Holy Mother Church at Rome.

    Early saints and leaders and teachers in the Church were already condeming the Church and the atrocities being commited in the name of Christ long before Gregory and the holy inquisitions.

    Lactantius was admonishing the church for vile crimes and tortures, as early as the 4th century.

    In 308 Lactantius wrote;
    ___________________________

    "What has the rack to do with piety?

    Surely there is no connection between truth and violence, between justice and cruelty.

    If you attempt to defend religion with bloodshed and torture, what you do is not defense, but desecration and insult".

    Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius
    From the Divinarum Institutionum Libri V (Divine Institutes)
    ___________________________

    The horrific crimes of the Holy Church of Rome, are not my opinion, they are fact.

    And they have been well documented for the last 2000 years.

    Even today we find the Church is a literal haven of child molesters with thousands of cases being reported over the last 5 decades. And more and more cases are coming out every day.

    And the Churches response to this?

    Negotiate, shuffle Priests, etc. They support it by turning a blind eye and a deaf ear.

    And you think they have anything to do with Christ?

    If you are comfy with a Church whose history is full of blood, murder, corruption, vice, torture, and whose current claim to fame is not feeding the Children, but f@#%!$ng the children, then cool, that's your gig.

    But don't expect the rest of us to buy into it.

  195. And here's your response, changing everything I had written, into your straw argument about the "Inquisition".

    No Ms. Cornell, I am not Anne. On BradBlog I mentioned I was a male, long haired, 30 year old engineering student at Arizona State University. That is all the truth. Aside from the long hair, I have little in common with Anne. And she seams to hold some disdain for Catholics as many of the people here do. There is some proof that she and I do not see eye to eye on everything, in case you needed it.

    As far as Worfeus’ comments are concerned. Your Bible quotes are interesting, but prove little as far as the corruption of the Church. Upon some inspection of the Bible in whole you may find one interesting trait among all God’s chosen people, New Testament and Old. They were all weak. The Philistines were stronger people in faith and arms, but the Jews were chosen. The Jews fell from grace with God many times, but they were still the chosen people. When Christ came, He did not pick saints, he picked fishermen, a tax collector, a womanizer, among others. The stereotypes of fisherman have not changed much in the last 2000 years. At the marriage at Cana, they ran out of wine because 12 drunkards descended on the party and drank their stuff. They fought, they did not listen. It was not until after the death of Jesus did they really start to get it. Lydia has said it herself, Jesus brings sinners to Him, that is who He is interested in. That the Church has sinners in her midst is not proof that her teachings are wrong. But that she has lasted 2000 years despite those horrible people may be proof that God still works through His church.

    One more thing, just because you keep bringing it up. The Inquisition saw many abuses of power. You know a little bit about it, I can see that. But did you know that the lay people of the time asked for the church to take action against the errors going on? People were tired of liars painting signs of stigmata on themselves and talking money out of innocent people. Or worse crimes. The Inquisition lasted 400 years (not 700) because many generations of people thought it necessary. Read books of the time and you will see the lay people had little fear of the officers doing this work.


    An example of this would be Miguel de Cervantes’ famous book “Don Quixote.” He lived during the time, mentions the Inquisition, but not in a way you might expect.

  196. nice job insulting my kids and my fatherhood. that is a low blow, even for a bottom feeder like you, btw. and baseless, i might add.

    also, nice job selectively reposting things i said from so long ago. i repeatedly clarified myself, but you wont repost that. you dont have the integrity to do so. hence, i will simply not engage that discussion. keep reposting, buddy. go ahead and drudge up all that stuf. pile through the archives alone for hours. and why not attack my kids some more. they are easy enough targets for you.

    or, you can find something to talk about on topic. my "foolishness" comes to mind. an assertion you made when you first came on. you have yet to address my challenge directly. i posit that you are not able to. you just made a jab, and cannot back it up.

    however, your continued reposting and incessant need to talk about past threads can is the textbook definition of the word "obsessed." you are not proving otherwise.
