Hi cordy, glad to see you fighting back as its a good step towards your recoveryWELL DONE CORDY - IT NEEDED TO BE SAID. hUGS JANIE
Pinny, I intend to ignore. I will not waste another word in that direction. Cordy, I'm sorry you were also a victim of LevLarry's irrational behavior. I feel so guilty that a silly flip remark I made trying to defuse the OXYmoron thread, initiated all of this venom. I apologize to everyone for my part in this mess. I feel horrible about this mess and I hope everyone will forgive me for my involvement. I'm sorry - there is no culture that should excuse taking the Lord's name in vain. But you're getting the attention you want, I hope you're happy. PS Cordelia, I wasn't at all offended but I avoid saying things like "Oh my
Cordelia, I'm glad you explained to everyone that godamn in your country is like mom, baseball, apple pie and god bless you is here in the united states and it's so true that cultures are very different. I'm sure in your country if your parents come over for dinner you tell your husband, "Tell the gaddamn kids that their goddamn grandparents are here." When you say hello you probably say "Hello, goddamn you." When you speak of your god, you probably say,"That's my goddamn god." Cultures are so different and apparently so are bibles. The bibles here speak against taking the lords name in vane and also warns against cursing using gods name. In the bibles here, goddamn is a curse. You know, god damn this and god damn that. Just out of curiosity, what bible do yous have over there in your country where everyone goddamns? It's as normal over there as applepie and god bless you is here. You know so many of these chit-chat club members and sushi members bought that explanation, now might be a good time to sell them some of that prime real estate, you know, that oceanfront property in Arizona. With that kind of twisting you are a good candidate for a vice-presidency of the chit-chat club and practically a shoe-in for a moderator at the shusi forum. What is so amazing is that so many of the self proclaimed christians found nothing wrong with it since it is a cultural thing. No, really i'm not surprised at all. So many of you boast of being of god and yet when it comes to righteousness, you don't seem to have any. Had I said that, you would have all attacked and expect god to take my worthless soul. Where is your righteousness? You bare false witness against some and applaud others that curse, take god's name in vane, lie, and any other vile thing as long as it is a part of your group. It's one thing for an athiest to believe that to be appropriate because they have no god and no one to answer to. If they break the rules, so what? Now yous that claim to be of god, have done what? Yous have given credit to god for the unglodly things you do and support, right? Think about it. You say you are godly therefore what you do is make a fool of god showing god to be unrighteous. You cannot walk in light and darkness. You cannot follow those that walk in the dark and think that you still have light or are walking in the light path. It doesn't happen. Yous need to be careful claiming to be of god and being ungodly, just in case the bible and god are true, you're gonna have big trouble, big trouble. Arriscolwell, You never chased me off. You and those other thugs and bullies have chased many members off. It used to be anybody that wasn't part of the clique was quickly sent packing. Those that came here had to bow to the clique and not act like they were seasoned members with all the privelidges of the clique. The rason for my extended absense is that I left on assignment and I never use my work computers for anything but work, you know too much top secret stuff. You bunch of ungrown-up women need to grow up. Is that how it was in school, you used to tell your group, "Don't talk to her, I don't like her hair and don't talk to her, she doesn't wear clothes like we do, don't talk to him, his dad's a janitor." How old are you mentally. It's fine with me if everyone of you chit-chat members and/or sushi members never read or post to my posts. The things yous said about men or some of us men, maybe we just believe in right and wrong and maybe even have a fear of god and maybe we don't clique like some of you women, it's not needed. Only gangs and thugs demand absolute loyalty like you clique members do and so you feel powerful but it doesn't make yous right. Blessed, Cordies complete post was negative and accusing, don't take my word for it Blessed, go back and read it and then pray to god yous'. Don't attack me blessed or I'm going to pray for you. I didn't trash her, I said what every single one of you should have told her, this isn't a third rate bar and to either control her foul mouth or find another forum. Oh, that's right, she is part of your "group" so she gets a free god pass, gosh I almost forgot how god works when it comes to your sisters in the "group". She has no more information than anyone else, she can't even help herself, she' so sick and in pain. All she can do is tell members that's what they can expect, maybe she needs to pick up one of those bibles from the United States. You know what I did today? I drove 40 miles and cleaned the snow from my mom's long driveway and sidewalks, oh, I didn't use a snowblower, I used a snowshovel. Over two years I'm into this disease, severe rheumatoid arthritis, I didn't cry and boo-hoo, I didn't join some can't help me club just to be somebody in a club, I did something about it. I've spent more money on alternatives than she's spent on her alchohol. I have more information concerning RA and how to kick it's butt than almost any of you. To any one that has actually been reading my posts should begin to start feeling better soon, and hopefully you "group" never read my posts and certainly would hate for yous to prosper from all of my research and trials. Righteous indeed, scary. Linnc, Ditto to what I said to blessed. I asked you before if you wanted rice with that sushi. Do you? That one woman that was a senior and I gave her such good information and help and she blasted me, her perogitive, and that other new member, she doesn't even say hello gov, she just starts attacking and I think one or both thanked the group for private messaging and redirecting to other forums, not that there is anything wrong with that, is there? and Oh yeah, Cordelia, I know that you and yous' "group" don't care that this forum arthritisinsight is the number one forum on the www and it would bring yous great satisfaction to knock this forum arthritisinsight down any way possible and to answer your question, I care that it's number one, and so do the other good members here, yous are the immoral minority, not the majority, better think about it, this ain't yo forum, know what I mean jelly bean? Oh yeah, don't worry about it, the owners aren't interested either, know what I mean jellybean? LEV Lev-- How about giving it a rest? *scratching my head*???? Stephen, your photos are beautiful! Thank you for sharing them with us. cheers Judy Hi Club, Missed me? So any way let me just say that the way I responded to Codelias rant was very appropriate. Like I said before if it had been me or another non-member of your club, yous would have attacked like pirrahnas, all for one and one for all. My response to her statement that the use of goddamn in her country is just common was right on. That she thinks that we are all stupid enough to believe that is only 99% correct because I'm not that gullible, I'm the 1%. You members are like, "Oh yeah, we understand that culture, but burkas make yous furious." I also had a problem with cordelia for accusing some of shooting newbie11 "out of the water" and nobody did. Even there she proved her worthiness of membership to your club. She took some words not meant as derogatory but forthright and turn them ugly for her use. I still haven't seen her post anything against you peoples own member absolutely shooting a member out of the water. Remember this?
Yes, Janie it did need to be said.
would have done for someone looking for something to have a freak out
about, so there's no point "walking around on eggshells".Well people tend to see only what they want to see. I mean, that's been proven since the dawn of man.
God" and such on this forum because there are a lot of Christians here and I
don't want to offend them. It's that "cultural sensitivity" we hear so much
about. Oh well, live and learn. I know you didn't offend anyone intentionally,
so you deserve forgiveness in my opinion! (You're kind of like that lady with
the teddy bear but there's no actual lynch mob coming after you).Excuse me? Cultures do A LOT of things differently, and if you can't handle that, that I would say that YOU my friend are very intollerant. Cordy has even apologized for not understanding that her words may have offended someone. Take the apology and walk away. You need not answer back.
Whoops, after reading Matthew's post, maybe there is?
Thanks, Gimpy. Look my only intention is about caring for everyone who comes here, that's all. I don't even want or expect their opinions to be the same as mine.
Certainly I would never have deliberately used a word that would upset or offend, that is just not me.
She has always been of a positive spirit...why come down on her so hard? That's all I was saying.
Now having said that...What is your major malfunction. Is there anyone here that you like or care about? You seem to just jump down members throats for the heck of it. Why? Does it make you feel better when you're so hateful to others? Just curious.
I want to make something clear, in particular to Cordy, that I am not sure whether posting links is right or wrong from an advertising perspective. I am sure of this....Cordy has offered only kindness and support to probably everyone on this board at one time or another. I know that she has been helpful to me on more than one occasion. That Lev feels the need to come out fightin' against her in such a mean way is offensive to me. She didn't mean to offend anyone, she said so and she apologized. But you use language that offends too Lev and you never apologize. You use words to describe people like filth and slug. That is offensive too. I really wish you'd stop. But most likely, I am now a filthy slug for saying that. I'm sure in your
country if your parents come over for dinner you tell your husband,
"Tell the gaddamn kids that their goddamn grandparents are here." When
you say hello you probably say "Hello, goddamn you."
You are the one being grossly offensive Lev and really need to seek some professional help
Or take a jump into a nice cold bath to cool off.
You have your feathers all ruffled over nothing.
Bodak, that's a sweet pic, did you take it?
Lev, I too wonder why you are so angry? We are here to support each other, not judge each other for offensive languageA
I
am a devout Christian and love God very much. I do find bad language
offensive to listen to it and I wouldn't stay around those who use it
constantly. I won't watch movies that have it. Or read books that
contain it. I won't let my children use it. I try not to use it ever.
Do I judge others for using it? No. That is between them and their
God.
I am responsible for my words, my actions, my thoughts
and how I treat
others. Have I ever slipped? Yes, I have. If I offend my God or
others in anything I do, I ask for forgiveness. If someone professes to
be religious and then is vulgar, mean and hateful I might speak to them
as they are being a bad witness.
On
the scale of offensiveness bad language is far down for me. People who
use bad language only hurt themselves. Someone who hurts others
purposefully is very offensive to me and most other Christians.
Mark
7:20-23 He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him
'unclean.' For from within out of men's hears, come evil thoughts,
sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed , malice, deceit,
lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. all these evils come
from inside and make a man 'unclean'"
From what I know of Cordy,
she is giving of her time and energy. She is welcoming to all, offers
advice, speaks of her pain, asks for help and writes what many of us
feel in beautiful prose. She apologized for her language and I don't
ever see her attacking people individually. She is one of the many
people I have found on this board that help make this disease
bearable. She and many others are in my prayers daily.
I
don't agree with everyone on this board and I have stated my opinion
here. Most everyone is pleasant, helpful and respectful even as we
agree to disagree. I am sorry to see such venomous exchanges continue
on this board.
Photography is about all I have interest in these days and even that requires a good boot up the postera......
Stephen, do you have a website with your pics available for viewing?
[QUOTE=Linncn]Stephen, do you have a website with your pics available for viewing?[/QUOTE]I'm working on one at the moment..
You can see some small examples of what I have been up to over the past twelve months since getting RA.
Look in the Honeysuckles area of the site, they are all my images in that area.
