|
|
46 You want to meet an opened minded Christian? I'm here. Any questions? I
|
|
47 think that some of the veiws expressed by you "heathens" (previous word entered in fun)
|
|
48 are pretty closed minded. You say that that student's Christianity was do to
|
|
49 Thanfullnes towards the west? Rubbish! It makes no sense. You have not even
|
|
50 considered any alternate ideas. Personally, I would consider myself open minded
|
|
51 (although I'm open to debate on that). But, I can't see any open minded athiests
|
|
52 out there. Well, I have to be leaving you, so good night.

|

55 And yet another corner heard from! Prepare yourself for a shock, DOM: I, with whom you agreed so heartily, am also a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
56 <*GASP!*> Christian.(Albeit, as I have said before, a wierd one.) Even though this means I myself believe that being a
|
|
57 Christian is the best thing to be, it is also my belief that God gave us free will. Therefore, if God saw fit to make us
|
|
58 capable of choosing other religions, or no religion, who am I to deny others the right
|
|
59 to believe as they will? The best thing for a true Christian to do is to see that his side is heard along with the others',
|
|
60 and to live and act in such a way as to show what a good thing Christianity is. Unfortunately, being human, many mistakenly
|
|
61 allow the fact that they see themselves as "right" to serve as justification for oppressing and suppressing those who
|
|
62 disagree.(This last applies to both Christian and non-Christian alike.)
|
|
63 Christ told us to scatter the seeds of his teachings widely,not concerning ourselves with where they fell or whether they
|
|
64 took root. Those for whom the Word is meant will recieve it, and the others (which, it is implied, are the majority) will not.
|
|
65 If you don't want the seeds, please don't let the behavior of a misguided few lead you into prejudice against all of those
|
|
66 who do.

|
|
79 Dear Mad Actor and Man In Gray,
|
|
80
|
|
81 New Wave has nothing to do with pain or self destruction.
|
|
82 I think the style you are refering to so Ignorantly is Punk Rock.
|
|
85 New Wave is just A 'new' style of music.
|
|
86 And there will be people who oppose it as
|
|
87 sure as there are people that appose the
|
|
88 computer revolution.
|
|
89 Some people, usually conservatives, just don't
|
|
90 want to give into change.
|
|
91
|
|
92 I hope this is not the case with you two or any others on this
|
|
93 board.
|
|
97 Long live New Wave!!!

104 FOTI:
|
|
105 Yep.Uh-huh.That's right. You'll notice that I apologised for my unfortunate statement concerning New Wave.
|
|
106 Personally, I welcome change (although not for it's own sake alone).
|
|
107 Long Live IDIC!

|
|
110 Ah ha! The Mad Actor is a Trekkie!
|
|
111 The Mad Actor/TMA/Tycho Magnetic Anomaly
|
|
112 If I was verbally creative enough, I would do something interesting
|
|
113 with the relationship between TMA/TMA and the seeds for a new
|
|
114 level of evolution a la ideas; unfortunately I find it extremely
|
|
115 difficult to express myself coherently (particularly in the flowing
|
|
116 styles so common here) so I just drop bits of semi-noise here and there.
|
|
117 Which is why I am the
|
|
118 000000000000000000000000voyeur0000000000000000000000000000000000000
|
|
119 The Poet's eyes had taken on a decidedly crazed look as he deposited his weaponry on the table before him, but at
|
|
120 the sound of the Piper's music he began to calm a bit. An unreadable expression crossed his face as he listened to the
|
|
121 playing and watched the debris of an earlier night's conflict fade into another corner of reality.
|
|
122 "Y'know, my friends, if we are to seek after the person or persons who are behind all this mayhem, we might be wise
|
|
123 to enlist the aid of that gent with the pipes over there."
|
|
124 "What, that windbag?," Graymalken's daughter snorted derisively.
|
|
125 "Yes. That FINE MUSICIAN over there is, I believe good for much more than mere entertainment and janitorial duties.
|
|
126 If I'm not mistaken, he plays the music of the Gael Gate; a skill I'd thought lost forever (if that word has any meaning
|
|
127 here). With his songs he can access freely all of the Myriad realities! This, my friends, is an ally we can hardly afford
|
|
128 to be without!"
|
|
129
|
|
130 So saying, the Poet lurched to his feet, his weapons somehow disappearing into his robe as he did so, and began
|
|
131 picking his way through the crowded common room towards the table where sat the Piper...

|
|
137 With a pained look, the piper paid for the voyeur's drink then turned to
|
|
138 the bard.
|
|
139 "Really now, I'm not sure about this. I distinctly remeber hearing that
|
|
140 the way it goes is ... 'He who calls the tune must pay the piper.' Where does
|
|
141 it say the piper pays?"
|
|
142 Pouring a jack of ale into his parched throat, the piper turned to a person
|
|
143 sitting some distance to one side.
|
|
144 "Deborah? Yes, I also play the pipes in mundane reality, although with
|
|
145 much less flashy effects. Do your friends play with any organized groups
|
|
146 here? I do not, as I cannot afford the investment of the time."
|
|
147 Downing another jack of ale, the piper winded the pipes again, and in honor
|
|
148 of those desparately seeking to start a religious argument began a very minor
|
|
149 piebroch -- "The Desparate Battle."

|
|
151 Dirty Ol' Man - I don't want to be rude or anything but your
|
|
152 ideas do sound like an old mans. Just like my father in fact.
|
|
153 Sex is just as important and as natural as eating or
|
|
154 sleeping or performing any other natural function. You
|
|
155 wouldn't argue that I shouldn't eat or sleep while my father
|
|
156 pays the bills would you? Why is sex different.
|
|
157 People make too big a deal about sex. It is fun and
|
|
158 relaxing and it helps me get closer to people. What's so
|
|
159 bad about that? I agree with Evan about the birth control
|
|
160 cause thats just being responsible. I don't want to have a
|
|
161 baby. I just want to have some fun. Isnt being a teenager
|
|
162 hard enough without always fretting about being horny?
|
|
163 Maybe I'm different than other girls but I just couldn't
|
|
164 stand going around clenching my teeth and being frustrated
|
|
165 all the time. I don't think its healthy.
|
|
166 Tell me ol' man, now that you've told me how a girl
|
|
167 should live her sex life according to her fathers rules,
|
|
168 how old were you the first time? Did you wait until you
|
|
169 were away from your parents because you respected them
|
|
170 so much. Or didn't they care what you did because you are
|
|
171 a boy.
|
|
172 If it sounds like I'm being nasty I'm sorry. I don't
|
|
173 want to make anybody mad at me but I get so angry with how
|
|
174 unfair it is. Sex is a partnership and it can't be good for
|
|
175 one partner and evil for the other. That's not fair.

180 Piper, my friend, *I* am paying for the drink...

|

185 I somehow doubt that you can play my next song on the pipes, but feel
|
|
186 free to try. However, I must warn you that if your playing gets us lynched,
|
|
187 I will hold you FULLY responsible.

191 Middle-Earth
|
|
192 In Middle-earth there is a tavern on the Eastern Road.
|
|
193 There travelers will find its tables full of cheer;
|
|
194 And when the innkeeper brings the beer,
|
|
195 He may bend an ear.
|
|
196
|
|
197 In Middle-earth well hidden in the Old Forest's trees
|
|
198 Tom Bombadil maintains a house of cobbled stone,
|
|
199 To which he brings Goldberry home
|
|
200 From the River's edge -- to his bed.
|
|
201
|
|
202 Middle-earth, beneath the Stars, below the Sun,
|
|
203 Where the seedling of Telperion is planted;
|
|
204 Elsewhere back
|
|
205
|
|
206 In Middle-earth there is a Hobbit in a hobbit-hole.
|
|
207 He keeps it clean although it's dug into the ground.
|
|
208 And though he spends a lot of time in town,
|
|
209 Still he's been around.
|
|
210
|
|
211 In Middle-earth there is a wizard with a staff of oak.
|
|
212 His flowing beard is colored like new-fallen snow.
|
|
213 His fireworks light up the fields below,
|
|
214 And his smoke-rings glow.
|
|
215
|
|
216 Middle-earth, beneath the Stars, below the Sun,
|
|
217 A wonder where the Norland waters run ere sunlight;
|
|
218 Elsewhere back
|
|
219
|
|
220 In Middle-earth the wizard smokes his pipe contentedly.
|
|
221 We see the hobbits walking humming to the inn.
|
|
222 And then old Bombadil rushes in
|
|
223 From the River's edge -- to his bed.

227 The walls of the Inn begin to shimmer and become out of
|
|
228 focus. A chill wind creeps in under the door. Yet the fire
|
|
229 in the Inn still glows brightly sheading warmth and comfort
|
|
230 to those within. Outside the flickering shadows of the fire
|
|
231 though the chill sets in and the image shifts and warps to
|
|
232 strange and bizare shapes. In the far darkened corner the
|
|
233 draft ripples a dirty worn cloth covering a passage way into
|
|
234 a forgotten storrage room. If you listen closely you might
|
|
235 hear the sound of a muffled scrape or occasional sigh.
|
|
236 Again the draft through the loose doors and windows of the
|
|
237 Inn ripple the worn curtain and then it catches a scrap of
|
|
238 paper and it skitters across the floor to land in front of
|
|
239 the warm hearth of the Inn.

266 A hushed wisper as quiet as the wind echos ever so

267 slightly through the Inn as the scrap of paper lands gently
|
|
268 on the hearth, "Happy Valentines day." There is a momentary
|
|
269 pause as the patrons of the Inn wonder at this odd event,
|
|
270 but it lasts but a moment, then passing it off with a shrug,
|
|
271 they return to their conversations, soon to return to the
|

272 harsh realities come the morning light. Yet for now the

|
273 flickering shadows play upon the Inns walls, for the

274 shadows of things past, present, and future are and always

290 Dear Mr. Figment (or is that tnemgiF):
|
|
291 In review of your last message I have reevaluated your diagnosis.
|
|
292 In light of your preoccupation with crap, duct tape, and hamsters(?),
|
|
293 I have decided you have an anal eliminative personality. I would like
|
|
294 to tender two recommendations that might help your addled state of mind.
|
|
295 1. Quit playing with your food.
|
|
296 2. Go to the nearest store and buy a large cork. Stick where
|
|
297 necessary.
|
|
298 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

303 Nancy, I have been reading your messages and replys with interest, tryi
|
|
305 ng to relate your problem with one of my own. As I look back now, I am sure
|
|
306 I made the wrong decision, and it cost me dearly. I might add that I am
|
|
307 male... My girl friend and I had been together for a while (about 2 months)0
|
|
308 and without going into a lot of gory details, it came the time where we
|
|
309 had to decide about the subject of sex. To make a long story short, I
|
|
310 decided that a thought for the future was more important than the 'heat
|
|
311 of the moment', if you get my drift. I didn't want to be the person
|
|
312 responsible for ruining a girl's life due to emotions. I don't know if
|
|
313 that makes much sense, it is kind of a touchy subject, because due
|
|
314 to my decision not to go forward, we are no longer an item. Should I
|
|
315 have said to hell with responsibility, and let nature take its course,
|
|
316 or what? I was so confused then, and I am not much better now. For the
|
|
317 past couple of months I have been pretty lonely. I might as well become
|
|
318 a priest. Anyway, excuse the confused tone of this message Nancy, and
|
|
319 let me know what you think of my situation.

338 Yes, my remark was based on a "fondness" for tradition, in a

339 sense. I abhor following tradition for traditions sake, but I do not

340 like to see Japanese adolesents throwing away their culture for a mass

|

406
|

407 COULD IT BE THAT THE REASON THAT WE SEE A LOT OF CLOSE MINDED CHRISTIANS
|
|
408 IS THAT THEY ARE THE ONES ON THE CORNER OF 5TH AND MORRISON YELLING AT

411
|

412 MAY NOT BELIVE IN GOD AS THE BIBLE (OR ANY OTHER REILIGOION) PUTS IT

430 Evan:
|
|
431 A good point. I think that most Christians that I meet are very open
|
|
432 minded. Of course, they are mainly at church. I think they are a total
|
|
433 different crew then the people you see downtown. If you read some of the
|
|
434 messages written by "heathens"(again used in jest) on this board, you will
|
|
435 see a close minded attitude. Many of them don't even take Christianity as
|
|
436 being true into consideration. I think this close minded attitude as well
|
|
437 as training may be part of the reasons they aren't Cristians.

463 I defer
|
|
464 Mr. Tim
|
|
465 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
466 To set a few things straight:
|
|
467
|
|
468
|
|
469 New Wave is a social attitude towards life
|
|
470 and is not as mind rotting as some would
|
|
471 make it out to be. The type of music is
|
|
472 not head-banging, @#%*-kicking hard
|
|
473 rock that you find on most 'stoners' radios.
|
|
474 Turn to 107 on the FM band for a taste of
|
|
475 the music. The people
|
|
476 are no different either.
|
|
477 But still, because they dress different
|
|
478 they are described as
|
|
479 wierd, dumb, and most often at MY school
|
|
480 GAY or HOMOSEXUAL.
|
|
481 Well theres todays society for you.
|
|
482
|
|
483 I think you will find the peopl that say these
|
|
484 type of things to be 'dumb' jocks that wear
|
|
485 their IQ's on their jerseys.
|
|
486
|
|
487 The typical New wWaver wears maybe a jean jacket, levi's, high top shoes or
|
|
488 loafers, a button up sweater over a tee-shirt.
|
|
489 There are, however, Many ways to dress.

505 It has been awhile since I last entered anything here, and thanks to
|
|
506 everyone who welcomed me back. I've found it rather hard recently to find
|
|
507 any time for doing any serious entries at the keyboard, and a change of
|
|
508 schedule has only allowed me to be on-line at BWMS peak hours (early
|
|
509 evening) rather than my former late night time slot. But it is good indeed
|
|
510 to be back.
|
|
511
|
|
512 In reference to the adventures of young love, my few comments are that
|
|
513 if you ask for another's opinion, you shouldn't be angry if that opinion
|
|
514 isn't exactly what you want to hear. And I think that DOM is quite correct
|
|
515 in saying that if your entire support comes from someone else's pocket,
|
|
516 they have some right in determining your behavior. I felt much the same
|
|
517 way at that age (not so long ago, though sometimes it feels otherwise), and
|
|
518 that was at a time when contraceptives were not readily available and
|
|
519 abortion was a crime. What it comes down to is that the "right" to
|
|
520 determine what you do with your body while you are still a minor is decided
|
|
521 by those that constitute your guardians. And, as they know you and none of
|
|
522 us do, they are much more likely to know whether you are mature enough and
|
|
523 emotionally ready for it.
|
|
524
|
|
525 Welcome back, DOM! I had been wondering what had happened to you.
|
|
526 I'm glad to know that you're still amoung the living, and just as dirty as
|
|
527 ever! It's too bad you're leaving us, but I'm happy that you have the
|
|
528 opportunity to move somewhere you obviously have such a fondness for. And
|
|
529 you're right, Portland is relatively boring, which is why I live here
|
|
530 presently. It's slowness is exactly what I wanted when I first moved here,
|
|
531 and it helped to slow me down when I needed it the most.
|
|
532 I'm not too sure about the comment about *ALL* fathers (or parents)
|
|
533 giving more than they receive from their children, though that is true far
|
|
534 more often than not. But there are many children that spend their (short)
|
|
535 lives as living punching bags for parents that can only qualify as
|
|
536 emotional cripples, and you can hardly say that in these cases the parents
|
|
537 gave more than they received unless what you are refering to is abuse.
|
|
538
|
|
539 Well now! Is that really you, Batpoop? You're another that I've
|
|
540 wondered about. Are you back for awhile?
|
|
541
|
|
542 Oops! It's late, I've many things to do, and I don't want to be
|
|
543 accused of taking up more than my fair share of room here, so I'd best be
|
|
544 off (some think I am already, but...). See ya same bat-time, same

550 IDIC = Infinite diversity in Infinite Combinations.
|
|
551 Spock wore it in Is There In Truth No Beauty.
|
|
552 To quote from the Official STAR TREK Catalog #2:
|
|
553 "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations represents a Vulcan
|
|
554 belief that beauty, growth, progress--all result from the union
|
|
555 of the unlike. Concord, as much as discord, requires the presence
|
|
556 of at least two different notes. The brotherhood of Man is an
|
|
557 ideal based on learning to delight in our essential differences
|
|
558 as well as learning to recognize our similarities. The IDIC is
|
|
559 a union of circle, and triangle, uniting to produce the gemstone
|
|
560 in the middle. The circle represents infinity, nature, woman,
|
|
561 etc; the triangle can represent the finite, art, man etc."
|
|
562 Commercial as it is, the idea is good. I see it applied in the
|
|
563 discussions here on BWMS.

|
|
590 IN REGARD TO CHRISTINITY APPLY TO JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. YOU SEE WE HU-
|
|
591 MANS HAVE A REAL KNACK FOR LATCHING ON TO PRECONCEIVED IDEAS, AND THAN
|
|
592 GROUPING PEOPLE INTO PRECONCEIVED GROUPS. I'LL PICK AN EXAMPLE. PEOPLE
|
|
593 SEE INDIANS AND THEY SAY....YEP, THEM INDIANS ALL HAVE TEMPERS AND CAN'T
|
|
594 HOLD THERE LICKER(slurp). OR THEY SEE A CHRISTAIN AND THEY SAY THERE
|
|
595 GOES A CLOSED MINDED SUCKER, OR ON AND ON AND ON. I FELT JUSTIFIED IN
|
|
596 CHOOSING THESE TWO, SINCE THEY APPLY TO ME, SO DON'T ANYONE GET OFFENDED!
|
|
597 THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT ABOUT 3/4'S OF THE PROBLEMS ON THIS EARTH ARE
|
|
598 CAUSED BY PEOPLE REFUSING TO LOOK AT THE VALUE OF ALL OPINIONS, AND
|
|
599 TO TREAT EACH PERSON AS AN INDIVIDUAL. ALL ARE WORTHY OF RESPECT AND
|
|
600 CONSIDERATION. I FEEL THAT FOR THE MOST PART, THE USERS OF THIS SYSTEM
|
|
601 ARE. OF COURSE, IT HELPS CONSIDERALLY THAT WE DON'T SEE EACH OTHER.
|
|
602 UNFORTUNATELY IF WE DID WE WOULD PROBABLY CLASSIFY THIS PERSON AND
|
|
603 THAT, HERE AND THERE AND AXE THIS ONE OFF AS UNIMPORTANT, THIS ONE
|
|
604 AS WORTHY, THIS ONE AS FOOLISH, ETC. SO TO ALL THIS I SAY LONG LIVE

607 Dear Lonely guy:
|
|
608 I think its too bad things didn't work work out for you w
|
|
609 that girl. It seems to me that two months isnt really very
|
|
610 long and thats about how long it takes to figure out if you
|
|
611 have enough of the same values to make it work. So maybe its
|
|
612 good that you found out that you have different values so you
|
|
613 can find somone else who thinks more like you do.
|
|
614 I think sex is something everyone has to work out for
|
|
615 themselves. Maybe its right that you wait until its right
|
|
616 for you. I dont know, Im not a psychologist or anything.
