Blackjack, I found this for you to avenge...blackjack avenger said:The Egyptians, Romans and Greeks had slaves. Perhaps we will next be discussing the 40 plus hr work week slaves whom toil to pay for a government that takes their money and gives it to those who don't work among others, buying their votes!
Are we now full circle in this discussion?:laugh:
Gee, Katweezel, I didn't know you were an fundamentalist. Thankfully, I am not, so I don't buy into your argument that God instituted slavery. But, really, I am surprised; I didn't realize you were so religious. A fundamentalist, no kidding! :laugh:Katweezel said:Yeah well, it was a ting-in-cheek question. But it was taken seriously by some, and I better set the record straight. Sorry AM. GOD INVENTED SLAVERY. It was not the Asians or the Australians. Your Church was more than tolerant of it because G*D gives clear instructions in the bible on how you should treat your slaves. AND how it's OK to sell your daughters into slavery.
I still like the aroma of a good cigar. The other night at the blackjack table this fellow was smoking a cigar marked "ACID." He said it was a very fine cigar. I don't know, but it smelled really good. Anyone know what an "ACID" cigar is? No zg, I'm sure it's not THAT kind of acid. :laugh:Katweezel said:This list of Catholic heroes from the Not Dark Ages must have taken you forever to compile. Congrats... I brought some cigars with which you can enjoy your much-needed break from all that puter scholarly research. Oh wait! I forgot you don't smoke... Never mind, light up anyway, just say this; "Yes I did smoke the stuff but I didn't inhale." Sound familiar?
I associate cigar smoke with the aroma that filled the home of my Grandfather when I was a child. It brings back fond memories. So, if you don't mind me splitting the baby, I am promoting those fond memories, while at the same time, deploring secondhand smoke. :grin:Katweezel said:Now you're promoting smoking? Make up yer mind.
