    Hey mate, what's "peaking off his face"?

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeexactry! The entire notion of Karma is completely against this notion of an almighty God. I'm sure Sasun will again try to hand waive and explain but you just can't have it both ways. Either there is an almighty God that did all the stuff in the Bible (ala Christianity), or there isn't. This maybe yah there's a God but yah there's also Karma and then there's 3 world which we die into and sometimes we stay there and sometimes we come back all sounds fancy and good, but it is not Christianity. Which again brings me to the point about how sSebB's truth and Sasun's truth pretty much don't sync up and we now have at least two Truths.

    You said "Christian" like 4 times ... seems like it's a fairly important criterion in your "community". If so, how do you define a "Christian"? I think the answer to your question really depends on your pickiness about a community. Otherwise, any group of people living close together can be considered a community if you define the term broad enough. By the way, at the "mother in law house"

    Help With My Name..

    I thought Seb was short for Sebu. I don't know what Sebu is short for though but I know my cousin has that name. I also know of at least one much older woman whom people called "Sebuli".

    I'm talking about what Zartonk was also saying ... the point that you and Sasun are saying different things yet you think you agree with him. Wow, couldn't have said it better myself.

    I tried for several pages to get that point accross but it just didn't work. As they say (at least the barska-hays), Seb is riding his own Esh
  8. You have to open your html file in word first as a text file. So one way would be to save your webpage as html, rename the file to txt, and open in word. The other way would be to copy paste the entire source of a website into a blank word doc. Then you run the macro which opens a new blank doc and copies all the href strings into there. Below is a line-by-line explanation of the macro. Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory This simulates a home key press .. basically takes the cursor to the beginning. Documents.Add Template:="Normal", NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0 This opens a new blank document Windows(2).Activate This activates the old document that was hopefully already open with the html source you want to parse. Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "href=""*""" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True End With This sets up the search for a string href="whatever" (*=whatever with wildcard searching) Do While Windows(2).Selection.Find.Execute This loops on the search until it's done (can't find any more strings like you want) Windows(2).Selection.Copy Windows(1).Selection.Paste These two lines copy paste the string from window 2 to window 1. Window 1 is the blank new doc. Window 2 is the html file (text form). Windows(1).Selection.TypeParagraph This just adds a new line Loop End Sub
  9. Not sure why you put it in this thread but here's a quick and dirty thing I just put together. I think it'll work but I didn't debug it too much. It assumes you only have ONE file open in word and that's a text file of the html source. It searches through the file, picks the substring you asked for, and copies all of them to a new blank document. Sub Macro4() Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Documents.Add Template:="Normal", NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0 Windows(2).Activate Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "href=""*""" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True End With Do While Windows(2).Selection.Find.Execute Windows(2).Selection.Copy Windows(1).Selection.Paste Windows(1).Selection.TypeParagraph Loop End Sub
  10. The death penalty doesn't scare criminals because of the horrible way it is implemented. In California, you are guaranteed a VERY cushy prison life away from the jungle of general population for at least a couple of decades. Also, how many of those on death row actually get executed? In this case, the poorly implemented system is not only not a deterrent, it's actually an encouragement to try to get the death penalty (I know I would) if you have made up your mind about committing a series of very bad things. But one has to be VERY careful about when to apply the death penalty. For example, some people want to have death penalty for bad cases of rape as well. I don't think that's such a good idea ... having the same penalty for murder and rape will only make it easier for the rapist to murder his victim. That's because the victim will be far less likely to be able to identify the rapist later, so why not murder the victim since if you get caught, you'll face the same penalty anyway.
  11. You know I am FOR all those things as I have said several times before. I am also for euthanizing terminally ill babies, vegatables that have almost no chance of recovery (as certified by several doctors), and those that actually want to be euthanized. But those are different subjects. I don't think any reasonable person will equate capital punishment with euthanasia, abortion, or assisting in the wishes of sickly elderly. Yah, that's right, I called you unreasonable Here, we are talking about violent, vicious, and ruthless criminals with a loooooooong track record of comitting VERY heinous crimes against other people. Where do I draw the line? If you have killed 4 people, show absolutely no remorse, never appologize for doing so, create and head a violent gang and are responsible for countless violent criminal acts against other people, then damnit you are on the other side of the line. Am I saying we send a guy who was caught with a 14 oz of weed in his car to the chair? Of course not. In case of Tookie, did we deserve to be put out of our misery, yes. The line is not a solid object. One HAS to evaluate the merits of each case. The law provides a basis for cases where death penalty is valid. SEVERAL judges decide whether that law applies. After years and years of appeals, this thing even reached the Supreme court and was turned down. It's also not a haphazard law that will send any guy to the death penalty for no reason. That's why I don't think screaming "oh my oh my where will we ever draw the line" is valid in this case (or most capital punishment cases). This guy was sooooooooooooo over the line, the line seemed like a dot to him.
  12. That is not true. Murder is not justifiable but killing is. In my view, killing in self defense is absolutely justifiable. If someone is going to kill you, then you can kill that person without that being murder. Capital Punishment should only be used in cases where the subject is an imminent and on going threat to the rest of society. In case of Tookie, that definitely applied. It's just sad to see it happen 25 years too late. What makes it even more justifiable is that he never acknowledged, he never confesed, and he never showed remorse or appologized for any of his killings.
  13. This is not a question of morals ... it's a question of getting rid of the useless human infestation. I am not saying start killing all criminals but there is a point after which a life is not worht a damn and at that point, you put that life to end. And I'll be happy to take over the duties if anyone has any personal moral objections to doing it themselves. I won't lose a minute of sleep over it either.
  14. I was at a buffet a couple of years ago sitting at a table with my back to this elderly couple. I had nothing else to do but to eat and listen to their conversations. They looked like the rural types that had probably been married for several decades (I'd guess their ages at 60+ for the woman, and 70+ for the man). Well, it was more of a one sided conversation with the woman doing most of the talking and with the brief glipmses that I got walking back and forth from the buffet lines, the guy was nodding and agreeing with her. This all may seem normal and fine except for one thing. The ENTIRE conversation (for the more than 45 mins I was there) was about mashed potatos. I will spare you the details but I think that is a fundamental key to a long lasting relationship ... for a man to be able to sit through 45+ minutes of a lecture on mashed potatos and still be able to hold his food down, smile at his wife, and nod.
  15. I was asking the same questions from myself in almost exactly the same way ... and I saw the people rise and scream slogans behind the leader in an almost identical way ... but unfortunately it was right around the 2004 elections and the 'leader' was Bush. If "we" can elect such a complete moron, it's not hard for me to see it happening in Iran.
  16. Why do I get the feeling this guy is going to be assassinated soon?
  17. I'm sorry but you shoot 4 people like that (plus a lot lot more), you deserve to die. There is no redemption here. That would be saying you can do ANYTHING you want but then go and write some kids books and we let you live? Please... I wish they had fried his ass back in the 80's without letting him be a wasting source of our resources for nearly 25 years. In his case, there is no reasnoable doubt ... he DID the crimes. I wish we would be more efficient in cleaning up the scum on Earth

    I know what you guys mean ... before I always used to buy the cheap grapefruit and cranberry juices at the market that's like 30% juice and sugar water. But then I tried the 100% real juice ones and the other stuff tastes so bad now. And it gets to be pretty expensive because this stuff is never on sale. This latest one I have tried is a cranberry cherry mix and WOW is it good stuff. I go through a bottle in 2 days. It also has 130% Vitamin C per serving so I am getting a good doze of that too.
