Sorry to know this, & I hope it can be saved, somehow

Afterall, it was only yesterday that I was accused of improper behavior off of this board. My little out burst was unwarranted, and for that I do apoligize, but I don't take kindly to being accused of perverse behavior. I haven't been bugging anyone, unless of course you count my poorly understood posts in these threads.

Cindy, think of me what you will, .

Lot's of good humor at the boards!! Haven't been bugging anyone ---- LOL, LOL.

#3 Re: Science, Technology, and Astronomy » The Sunspotter » 2003-11-21 10:00:45

Nifty Little Device  smile

*I saw an advertisement for "The Sunspotter" in Astronomy magazine last evening.  Wow.  smile  And it only costs $300.00.  That's an average of $400.00 less than a special solar filter for a telescope (which average around $700.00).

I'm considering purchasing it.  We gets loads of sunshine where I live; it'd definitely get put to good use.  And I'd love to keep track of sunspot activity.

Does anyone here own one, or personally know someone who does?

--Cindy

Hey, Cindy, so cool! You going to get one? EBay might have good, used for sale, check it

#5 Re: Not So Free Chat » Free Speech ZONE? » 2003-11-07 14:07:20

Meanwhile, in a nearby movie theater somewhere in New Mexico, police and fire fighters were still investigating into an alarm at the local movie Cineplex. One trampled patron hurt during the commotion and rush of everyone running from the theater claimed someone was running through the theater yelling "Fire! Fire! Fire!". If true, prosecutors have promised to bring the maximum penalties allowed by law to punish the criminal or criminals. The ACLU, which has traditionally defended issues involving individuals right to free speech has vowed to take this issue all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary, in order to defend individuals right to say what they want, when they want, where they want, as accorded them by the First Amendment.

More sure to follow...

So cause ya can get in trouble for yelling FIRE in a theater, cause poeple might trample each other, it's o.k. for the Prez & cronie's to arrest some protester for just holding a sign? No way Jose.

#11 Re: Not So Free Chat » Why the U.S. Needs Universal Health Care...Now! - Intelligent debate wanted here... » 2003-10-16 05:50:19

There are people here who profess and proclaim God, Jesus,  Christianity and religious beliefs...but I have yet to see you bring up their religious beliefs/practices/studies in an unrelated context, as if using it in a slying insulting way -- as you have done to me repeatedly.

I have, and I do. But then, many people who believe in their version of God are a lot less vocal about it than you are about Voltaire. You're not a bible thumper, you're a Voltaire thumper. Nothing wrong with that per se, but it's still pretty much the same thing.

Why do you do this?

I never cared for proselytizing.

ROFLMAO!!! Now read Cindy's sig line!! Hey Clark, looks kinda unfair of you to say she's a thumper & proslytizer when YOUR a member of her Voltaire group. LOLLOLOL. Seems your a hypacrite.

*I'm sorry you can't respect my decision of how far into a conversation I will or will not go.

Tell me how I am supposed to respect your decision not to continue a discussion. Not post?

I can't make you or anyone take part in a discussion. I can't make you or anyone else respond to what I post. I would imagine that you, I, and anyone else, would simply not respond if they don't want to speak further. Am I incorrect in my conclusion here?

Why do you like to antagonize, and attempt to put me on the defensive?

I apoligize that you find me antagonistic, and I certainly am not trying to put you on the defensive. I think this all results from a disagreement of opinions. You think the world works a certain way, I think it works a certain way, and then, here we are.

Actually, my impression of you is that you are quite adept at projection.

:laugh:  Well, I did run the projector in my highschool. How could you tell? So Lucy, here's a nickel, what is it I'm projecting?  :laugh:

*I find -- and have found for quite some time -- it interesting how you always bring my studies of 18th century philosophers
into absolutely unrelated discussions.  So I cannot do income tax; I've admitted many times that I'm not good with math.  Also, I've been self-employed for years; that's added complexity.

[sigh] Here is the problem. You always think I'm out for a kill. I pointed out, in what I thought was praise, your ability to handle rather grueling philosphical thought and text. To me, this demonstrates a capacity for learning, and comprehension (the prime requesite for intelligence). I was merely suggesting that you could do your own taxes, or just about anything, if you set your mind to it. But you don't, or you don't have to, so you fallback on this idea "I'm not good at math". Well, neither am . In fact, I'm bad with science too. But that dosen't mean I can't learn, or understand scientific or mathmatical principles (that many others have discussed here) when I feel I need to.

This whole physcian thing is part and parcel of the same thought.

There are people here who profess and proclaim God, Jesus,  Christianity and religious beliefs...but I have yet to see you bring up their religious beliefs/practices/studies in an unrelated context, as if using it in a slying insulting way -- as you have done to me repeatedly.

I have, and I do. But then, many people who believe in their version of God are a lot less vocal about it than you are about Voltaire. You're not a bible thumper, you're a Voltaire thumper. Nothing wrong with that per se, but it's still pretty much the same thing.

Why do you do this?

I never cared for proselytizing.

I think you've never really liked me; actions sure speak louder than words.  That's fine; I don't live to please you.

You mean... you don't!  :laugh:

I don't know you Cindy, so how could I ever like, or dislike you?

I will say I do like some of your ideas. Not all. Not most. But some. And I have tried to play nice, but it seems such attempts are lost to animosity.

And I think I'm fairly even handed in my posts with others, I don't play favorites. Remember, you have the highest post count out of anybody here. Law of averages.  big_smile

Now, time for a self-administered colonoscopy.  big_smile

Clark stop being a jerk.
I think your jealous of her. Or you got some kinda weird anger for girls.

Hey Cindy,
I like you. Your cool by me. I learn alot about Franklin & lots of other people, from your Enlightinment list. Your great!!!

Hehe! Your good at role-playing Cindy. It means happy birthday (I got a Klingon dictionery). But you don't have to scare me into kissing your boots, heh.

#15 Re: Science, Technology, and Astronomy » New Discoveries *2* - ...Extraplanetary, deep space, CONTINUED » 2003-09-25 10:22:51

*I agree with you, dicktice.  smile

However, I have to admit I do have a tendency to anthropomorphize probes like Voyager and Galileo.  I miss them, felt a bit sad about Galileo's demise, think of them as children of the cosmos (especially the Voyager probes, which are now leaving our solar system)...

I have a strong maternal streak, and it overflows onto probes and what-not.   smile

#18 Re: Not So Free Chat » Good books you've just read » 2003-09-05 10:08:42

One of these days, I'm going to re-read the entire 1700 pages (or whatever it is) myself. It really is a modern-day classic."

*1700 pages of fiction:  It's not going to happen.  smile  I don't read much fiction, for starters.  Also, I've become so absorbed in my 18th century Enlightenment studies that I haven't managed to finish 2 non-related books, though I've had each for a few months now.

As I've mentioned before, the best sci-fi I've ever read (and I have previously done quite a bit of reading in this regard) is Arthur C. Clarke, particularly:  Childhood's End, Rendezvous with Rama, and 2001:  A Space Odyssey (the book, not the film).

Rendezvous with Rama is my favorite.  Clarke keeps these 3 novels (I dislike his sequels) short, sweet, and to the point.

Have you read a book which you feel completely represents your heart, your deepest inner self?  The social and scientific aura of Rendezvous with Rama is mine; it's the world I would like to live in, i.e. my greatest Ideal.

--Cindy

I got Red Mars last week. So far, so good. Cindy c'mon TRY IT. AC Clarke, he's ok. But the story's of his are old. I mean, we don't look TO 2001 anymore, since that was 2 year's ago

Well, you make good points Cindy. I'm from Canada btw. You outta ask that chick on your list, if she knows names of different capitols, hehe. And yeah if she thinks your stupid or something, then what's she doing on your list ?

If I never thought about the usa being the only country with the word America in it. Heh. And I'm glad to hear your not part of the boycott's, its really stupid. But I like Brie cheese too much, hehe. If somebody call's YOU ignorant, it'd be a real lie. :-)

My view though is shaped by my expectation of american commericalism. No one can sell something like a Yank.

Blame the whore but not the john?

The buyer's just as much to blame as the seller, yanno.

#25 Re: Not So Free Chat » Your Favorite Sci-Fi Cartoon - Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century » 2003-03-28 16:44:49

*It took some digging on the web, but I finally located a good web site which lists the Filmation Star Trek cartoons from the early 1970s.  I have a couple of these on video.  I loved watching them as a kid...so much so that I had my parents rearrange my Saturday a.m. piano lessons so I wouldn't miss an episode (back then, we only had cartoons from 7:00 a.m. until noon on Saturdays).  "The Counter-Clock Incident" was my favorite of them all.  Quality story lines, good artwork, and the original Star Trek television cast members supplied the voices:

--Cindy

Hey Cindy! Duck Dodgers is a riot! Can't say I got a favorite tho. STar Trek cartoons??? Cool, I don't think I heard of them before, but the before my time anyways, heh. But my Aunt might have some, she has lot's of ST stuff. Aw you poor baby you only had Sat-morning toons. smile But from what I see & read, the 70's were really cool LIKE YOU @--}-------
