>>>>>In all sincerity it's not very hard to construct a paragraph. You can construct paragraphs by following a few simple guidelines. Think of paragraphing as a way to construct your thoughts in a more organized manner.Lets break down the process by exemplifying it here:
>>>>>When you have a series of thoughts that are closely related often they can be put into the same sentence. If the sentence becomes too long or complicated to the point where you think a reader might have difficulty understanding the ideas you're trying to communicate, break your sentence down into multiple sentences to make it easier on the reader.
>>>>>When you have a series of sentences that are closely related, those sentences belong in a paragraph of their own to further distinguish them from another portion of your thoughts. So if, for example, you were writing about elephantiasis of the nuts and had a series of sentences about the girth your nuts would achieve, those would logically be grouped in the same paragraph.
>>>>>If, however, you began to talk about some of the activities you could not do with giant nuts (such as ride a bike, etc) you would begin a new paragraph because even though both subjects are focused on the nuts, they are talking about different aspects of the disease. (notice how this last paragraph is only one sentence but is still separated from the rest of the last paragraph)

i agree with you qwiz that evil is abstract.
i am not attempting to put blame on a malevolent force arbitrarily making people do its bidding.
this is evil,in my opinion,due to the utter lack of emotion.
totally devoid of any feelings,be they positive or negative.
no compassion,no anger,no empathy nor rage.
of course i am being presumptuous for there has been no information stating this but i think it is a fair assesment.
what could an 8 day old do to deserve this?
if it was the mother there are certain medical and psychological conditions that may explain this,but not for the father.
this was wanton malice..for malice's sake.
the desire to do harm just because he could.
this..to me..is evil.
now maybe this man (i use the term loosely) is a true sociopath and his 8 day old baby daughter was the trigger that put him into action.
while this may be the case it still does not make the situation any less horrific and would not make him any less evil.

Yeah but you're probably the single person here who comes closest to knowing the same crap I do. *smirk*
Actually, interestingly enough, QM has good taste in movies too.

As always, your videos are so close to my tastes that it makes me feel just a little weirded-out.
I might stop by more. Miss the place.
Still trying to get my ducks in a row. Discipline, etc.
Glad to see some of the 'usual suspects' still haunt the grounds.
This is a great place.

Cenk, Cenk, Cenk...what happened to your outrage? There are plenty of reasons to be pissed off, and don't you dare apologize for being mad at what has happened to our country, and don't you dare forget who was responsible for it.
When, in a given month, the stock market can go up by 100 points, and 1,000,000 are laid off...and that's called a successful example of capitalism...by god somebody better start getting mad about this or we'll be dying in the streets and the only thing that the rich will bitch about is the smell.
ROUGY!

While I was raised Methodist, and went to Sunday school, Christianity just never made sense to me. It was too close to Santa Claus. Be good, and you'll get presents! Be bad and you'll go to Hell! So years ago when I took PHIL 101 in college, we touched on Pantheism and Spinoza. As the class covered so many different religions and philosophies, we didn't stay on it for too long. Later, I looked it up in the dictionary and this was the definition I found:
1. The doctrine which states that all existing matter and actions within the Universe are God
2. Toleration of all other worships and creeds
That pretty much nailed it on the head for me. God was not an omnipresent, omniscient and benevolent being as the Christians andother faiths believe, nor was it broken out into a pantheon of separate beings, each requisite with their primary token. It is the human perception and cultural mores that create and label good and evil, just like that same perception provides some with a "God" with anthropomorphic and/or supernatural qualities. Or labeling the God as "good". Instead, God was just a word used to describe and represent all things within and beyond known reality. It doesn't mean God is good, or bad; it doesn't mean that God is some other separate entity or force that resides in the Universe. Everything is God...you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. (Sorry, went a little Yoda on you there)
But also (well, at least in this dictionary), it included the line regarding tolerating all other worships and creeds. Which fit me as well. Hey, if you want worship Christ, good for you! If you want to go dance naked around a bonfire up in the mountains, more power to ya! If that's what floats your boat, awesome. But DON'T try to change my line of thinking to be in line with yours, as 1) it's disrespectful and 2) I certainly wouldn't do the same to you. So that was another plus.
So I don't know if you're a Pantheist or not, but it sounded like it when I read your post, and was inspired to share.
