Lighten up, Hux:emoji_imp:--I posted that for shits and giggles, just to show how even the most 'scientifically' minded can harbor at least one bee in their bonnet, as many of them have and do. Personally, I think the idea is completely ludicrous, ranking right up alongside the 'God snapped his...

Oh god, Politics was the worst. All I ever did was take a glance or two at that board and I knew enough to stay away. I can debate politics all the livelong day as long as I'm debating with rational people, but that place seemed to be inhabited by the more verbally violent form of psychotic. The...

It may very well all be a dream. I imagine you're au courant with some of the speculation (including amongst the scientifically-minded) that our reality may be just one big virtual reality setup created by the usual...intelligences elsewhere? If that's true, just imagine the laughs they must be...

Still remains one of the creepiest and most atmospheric chillers ever. The black and white film only adds to the shivers, and I sincerely hope no one ever decides to do some misguided remake of it.

There were decent boards on the less trafficked topics; I haunted the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy board (the '79 series not the 2012 film redo) for a couple of years and only encountered a troll once, and the regulars handily got rid of him with a minimum of fuss. Same could be said of a number of...

Yes he is, and don't call him Shirley. This one never fails to make me LOL on every viewing, and even the great set of Police Squad! films couldn't top it. It's spawned about a trillion knockoffs and none of them have ever come close to the gut-busting hilarity of the original. Best part is in...

Yes I do. And no, the fact that I can't express certainty as to the existence of 'god' one way or the other does not equate to credulous belief in any of the above phenomena, nor their spawn thereof. As I said, I can live with not knowing absolutely. You can't. The whole issue boils down to...

Cherry pick much? I hope you're wearing your safety harness if so, because that may be the single most lame example of it I've yet encountered. I use the term True Believer (disdainfully) to dismiss anyone, atheist or religionist, who so honestly believes they've attained the mountaintop that...

>sigh<... once again, you take my words, put them into the patented Ronco TM Word-Salad-Spinner, and out pops--voila!--freshly chopped word salad. As soon as I make sense of that last pithy statement, which I suspect you launched with the idea that it was a killer salvo, I'll get back to you...

Read my first several damn posts, Hux. I covered your points in them, it's you who keeps insisting that I haven't by taking those words and turning them into an argument that they never contained. It's you who insists I'm 'god-sympathetic'. It's you who keeps farcically bearing down on the...

Hux, at this point the only 'interesting' thing here is observing someone who's become so caught up in their own logical fallacies that they've made themselves impervious to any type of reasonable response. I can't help but wonder if that dweller in the fundaments may be controlling your own...

Give me the T Rex version any day. It sounds alive and human, the Bauhaus version (and I liked Bauhaus) has that packaged, 'made for MTV' vibe that too much of the eighties New Wave sound dwindled down to. Anyway, I guess I have a bit of a soft spot for the last of those Glam dinosaurs, of which...

Lordy, you are the dog with the bone on this one. I'm going to refute you on the basis of this particular sentence from your earlier post: "You have made the claim. It is the claim that belief is a hard line while rejection of that belief is also a hard line." Nowhere have I stated anything...

Hux, enough; I said that I'm happy to debate this with you in future, once you calm down a bit. I can repeat to you that I've nowhere stated anything about 'open-mindedness=equals validation of error', and you're not going to see it because you've intractably set your mental course against it...

Let's just say I doubt that love was her topmost factor in pursuing McCartney. Kind of sad to have seen him fall into the 'no fool like an old fool' category, but he's far from being the first wealthy older man to be so had, and he sure won't be the last.

I'm stubborn, so I'll keep plugging away at it. Sooner or later I'll get it to work, though, knowing me I'll probably achieve it by the most archaic and roundabout route possible, lol.

Hux, I'll be glad to engage in a debate with you on this the moment you cease re-writing my extremely clear and understandable words for me. The only one who seems to be getting 'upset' by this discussion is yourself. If you want to ridicule charlatans, be my guest--I do a fair amount of that...

He cracks me up with the continual trying out of different personas--and I adore 'serious' actors who know how to make fun of themselves. It's one thing you have to hand to those Royal Shakespeare alumni--many of them can go from the heights of dramatic art to the lowest of low comedy without...

Solid character actor, who just 'missed it by that much' of becoming a major screen presence. His Jim Jones was an electrifying performance, and he never missed the boat on any of the roles I saw him in. I was surprised to see the RIP because it occurred to me he couldn't be that old; but there...

No, my dear Hux--you've insinuated that I'm taking the open mind line, which provides you an easy out for slinging the ad hominem insults. I've stated my position, twice, clearly and unmistakably. I have no responsibilities to you if you choose to twist that to fit your boilerplate. Read back...
