So...

Addit: I was going to let this slide...

-First of all, any personal opinion is biased as it is your opinion. But let us ignore that contradiction

Dictonary.com

results for: contradiction:

1. the act of contradicting; gainsaying or opposition.
2. assertion of the contrary or opposite; denial.
3. a statement or proposition that contradicts or denies another or itself and is logically incongruous.
4. direct opposition between things compared; inconsistency.
5. a contradictory act, fact, etc.

I was actually driving the point home. You could say I was over stating or it was a redundant statment. Even say I was stating the obvious. But a contradiction? I don't think SO...

I don't think SO... -Well, I stand corrected. I should perhaps note that I am Norwegian and so I may confuse an english word once in a while. But that does not change the fact that an opinion is by default biased.

Roadkill (11/6/2006) I was actually driving the point home. You could say I was over stating or it was a redundant statment. Even say I was stating the obvious. But a contradiction? I don't think SO... -Well, I stand corrected. I should perhaps note that I am Norwegian and so I may confuse an english word once in a while. But that does not change the fact that an opinion is by default biased. I understand. I am the son of immigrants, and english was my second language. But you were the one who corrected me. either way this is has gotten way off topic. And things between us have gotten a little.... uh insert word here But I am willing to bury the hatchet. truce?

-NEVER! -'Tis sad to abandon such a passionate discussion but it was scarcely productive, was it? A truce would then be the best way to go but I'll not bury the hatchet, after all it is a practical item that I may hack miscellaneous objects with....

I did say I wouldn't be tempted to respond again, but I saw this and couldn't pass it up... "Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" Able but not willing does not equal malevolent. Should I explain? And mind you, the answer to this you'll get form me is not the party line of an established religion, as I've formed my own religion over the years, borrowing from just about every other religion. But I won't spend time explaining the topic unless you consider it relavent.

Aw, I'm sorry to say I'm disappointed that that "exchange" is over. It gave me something to read in between my WW2 Global turns. EDIT: Damn it! I simply can NOT figure out that Hyper link and description HTML!!!
