Same for you Mercury.
Well, silly sally, I do goto work.

I work as an engineer and can vouch for Merc.

Put the blindfold back and and keep stabbing in the dark...


Geezz.. PP. I KNOW you go to work. Do you act the exact same way there as you do on here?

This is probably why Americans are considered ugly Americans in the rest of the world. We should NOT act exactly the same in all venues. We should be able to flow through different segments of society and different venues and act appropriately within them.

Stabbing in the dark? Are you trying to read in the dark?

**Oh, I'm apparently thinking in the dark*** :)

I should have written I'm pretty sure you're a hypocrite if you go to work and don't act like you do here.

When someone asks a stupid question at work they get the same kind of response from me.

Umhm.

Anyway. By rcrockets definition I'm quite the hypocrite. And I don't mind at all. Different things for different times and places.

Grovel for misery somewhere else.

This is a Mormon discussion board. I see believing Mormons on this board publicly expressing their differing opinon on things LDS, these are known as hypocrites on this board.

Yah. Although that wasn't rcrocket's definition of a hypocrite. His was a bit broader.

Grovel for misery? :) How do you do that?

It's ok, Book of Mormon. PP consistently has a problem with reading comprehension. It's part of his charm.

No...several friends requested it on the Off Topic forum, and I obliged. Bond thinks I'm hot, so I enjoy torturing him on a regular basis. ;)

I understand the Church doctrine just fine. What bugs you is that I allow myself to pick and choose what to believe. I allow myself to think critically, and question things that don't jive with my logic, but still take in the good that the Church has to offer.

Am I an opportunist in that respect? Yes.

Edited to add----The reason I countered you on your assessment of my being a hypocrite by rcrockett's definition is because it didn't fit. If you met me in person, I'm the same person I am here. Ask the people who have chatted with me in the chatroom. I'm the same person there.

I don't hide my feelings about the Church. I never have.
