OK this is my last post on this but let me just comment on one snowflake from Darrell's last blizzard.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>JOE: You call the NSA post a "new advertising campaign" but complain about the recent NSA criticism on Vision 2020 because it is "rehashing the old" so it "doesn't seem to be of benefit." But how can it be rehashing the "old" if it is criticism of the "new" ad campaign? The ad campaign was just posted, so criticism of it is "new," right?</div>

They are still ultra-conservative christians with some views that many consider odd and/or offensive. It is simply a new campaign selling the same ultra conservative dogma as they have always sold. I doubt if it will change anyones position or deepen their understanding of them.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It would follow that any comment about any religious group or any religion would be SSDD. As well as comments about most political parties or political organizations or political issues. Pretty much most of the comments on the V would be SSDD since I have yet to see one person change another person's position when it comes to their core beliefs. Liberals are liberals, you're either for global warming or against it, and conservative Christians hate Muslims. No point discussing things since we all know what we all believe and nothing will ever change. And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Maybe you should just tell us what we can talk about, Darrell, and that would make it easier. I'm sure it's a short list.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to deal with the rest of your post but it might be better if we just talked about it in the school yard and didn't bother the other folks. Or we could meet in the alley and I can throw you up against the wall and take your wallet, now that I know you're not threatened by remarks like these! Boy, I feel better already!</div>
