Comments on: Stir Crazy Verbosity http://taiwaneers.com/2008/09/stir-crazy-verbosity/ A couple of kids from Michigan living the high life in Taiwan Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:25:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: daniel http://taiwaneers.com/2008/09/stir-crazy-verbosity/comment-page-1/#comment-210 daniel Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:09:31 +0000 http://taiwaneers.com/?p=105#comment-210 Mr. Turton, With all respect we have already established through lengthy debate that you think yourself smarter then anyone and everyone that believes in Christianity. We've also firmly established that making disparaging comments regarding the religious beliefs of strangers is something that you consider to be an open minded and tolerant action. A view that several of the readers of your own blog disagreed with vigorously as I recall. Your comments regarding the vast majority of the content of this site would be most relevant and welcome. However, your comments on religion I fear will continue to be redundant and in poor taste. I sincerely hope that you prove me wrong. Mr. Turton,

His fiction is actually much better (Screwtape, Til We Have Faces, Narnia are all good), and some of his literary commentary is not bad.

Michael - If you want to watch both current and old American T.V. shows try these websites - VeohTV.com and Fancast.com. Your Mythology class should be helpful in giving structure to the intuition you've developed through the years. It's just that we owe our arts and sciences, our democracy to the Greeks. They were decades beyond thier time. I don't know that a little Greek history might not be a good companion for your mythology class. I know you haven't much time so - just a suggestion. :) Winnie Hi! Michael – If you want to watch both current and old American T.V. shows try these websites – VeohTV.com and Fancast.com.
