Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted January 26, 2008 Moderators Posted January 26, 2008 Gee, Laz, I think the word you were looking for is LIBERAL. If "60 is the new 40" (as I've been told), then I think our language is now in a state of transition. And "progressive" is the new "liberal" when it comes to religious thought, or ethnic relations. No offense, Olger. I think you both meant the same thing. Quote Jeannie<br /><br /><br />...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....
olger Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Whereas the national price index has risen 3.2 in the last fiscal quarter and wheras there has not been a corresponding increase in the funds allocated to yours truly... Language is in a state of transition. The Political Police have nothing better to do with their time than to impress their strange ideas on mankind (personkind?). When they rewrite history it is called revisionism and when they add useless syllables & adjectives to our language it is called dumb (in my opinion). Forgive my bluntness, tonight. Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
Moderators lazarus Posted January 26, 2008 Moderators Posted January 26, 2008 Language is always in a state of transition. It reflects the fact that our world is ever changing. Just the way it is. I guess the Luddites hated the word "Machine" when they first heard it. The political police, lol, who are they? where are they? Useless syllables and adjectives? Wow1 Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein

I searched for it ... found it ... and listened to it. Wow. Now he is a "manly man". What a powerful speaker. I thought it was interesting how he got the Panthers to approve and protect his evangelistic series. Cool and Manly. The Panthers? I assume you are referring to the black panthers. I didn't know ee cleveland had anything to do with them. I highly doubt it. Or, maybe you are talking about mlk and the panthers. If so, that is news to me also.

EE Cleveland was going to an area where the Black Panthers were strong. It would not be safe to hold an evangelistic series in that area without their permission. Cleveland did not know any of the Panthers. He had no affiliation with them. But he sent his toughest helper ... a big weight lifter ... who went to the Panthers and won their friendship with his abilities. He then told the Panthers about the evengelistic series and asked for their blessing and protection. I should explain that this series also had a big health van that was going to go into this tough area and help with all the health needs of the community. The Black Panthers were impressed with this and provided total protection for the team in this rough neighborhood. Strange how God can provide protection ... even from the Black Panthers. I saw this on the Hope Channel ... If you still doubt what I am saying ... I am sure you can get the interview from them. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

olger Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Please forgive the pirates (oops, I mean sea-faring entrepreneurs) for that oversight. I'll alert the nearest policeperson to keep and eye out for mailperson. If there's a fire just call a fireperson, and if you need personual labor call Personpower inc. Ohh...the hupersonity of it all. Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
