[nights_dre] hmm anyways im gonna go... i need to freshen my brain with charles dickens or william shakespeare![melisande] Les miserables is wonderful,..bye mike [nights_dre] and bye to everbody elseQ nights_dre exits from this room [Tat...

Originally posted by Maelstrom I don't think that the Episcopal church believes in Solo Scriptorum, do they? "Sola Scriptura", and no. Anglican theology is based on scripture, tradition, and reason. I think it has kept many of the original Catholic rites About ten percent of Episcopalians...

Or "The game's afoot!"

Originally posted by Maelstrom the Protestants have a history of just splitting off and forming their own church when they disagree, which is why there's so dang many denominations out there. The biggies are the Episcopaians Episcopalians aren't Protestants, Mael. The Anglican Communion split off f...

This happened again, so I went ahead and fixed it. I'll look over the old messages and see if I can figure out what's making chat throw up.

In Italian, the third-person past conditional form of the verb that means "to wring" is "avrebbe strizzato".

I've added these to the chat as :Cherry and :Flame, respectively.

Originally posted by Bamfette i don't care about reviews anymore, though. i've long sinnce discovered their opinion isn't important to me. they're just yet anohter person with yet another opinion, and just because it is an 'official review' doesn't make it any more valid in my eyes. The reviews I l...

I picked just one answer for the poll, but here's a longer one ... I like a compelling story that leaves me wanting to know what happens next. It doesn't have to be a cliffhanger; I just like to have some investment in both the characters and what's been happening to them. Books that don't have a co...

"Nightcrawler didn't catch the last remark, but if he had, he wouldn't have thought anything of it. There wasn't a joke or comment that could be made about the byproducts of his power that he hadn't heard already. Some of them actually made him laugh. Regardless, he always made it a point to sm...

Originally posted by Maelstrom But since you brought the subject up, is there any way we can forbid this practice? Yes - and it's long been done, due to just this sort of abuse. The main reason Scrawlers would allow it is to allow people to directly link to, for example, some of the buttons along t...

I'll pick up comics based on good reviews in The Comics Journal - arguably that's a combination of word-of-mouth and artwork, since they usually run some sample panels. I'm more likely to buy a book on the strength of the writer's name than the artist's. I'll get pretty much anything Alan Moore writ...

This has already strayed somewhat from the original topic, but doesnt it always? Please, everyone who responds, keep in mind that people on every side of this issue feel that they have tested their beliefs against their sacred texts. I dont ask anyone to deny what they believe, and Im not going to d...

Originally posted by Wolvertique C.S. was VERY sexist. "Wars are ugly when women fight"? Yeah, and they're so beautiful when men fight. :rolleyes Believe it or not, the sexism in the Narnia books is mild compared to some of Lewis's writings for adults. Compare them with That Hideous Stren...

Unstable molecules, maybe? All I know is that if I could design a line of women's clothes that fit no matter how big you got, I'd be richer than Bill Gates. Tucked away in the background in one of the early issues of Top Ten is an ad for "Stretch Gamma Pants". It's somewhere in the first T...

And ... well, I laughed, anyway. [Phoenix] Steve Frost as in Emma? [SteveFrost] * SteveFrost goes diamond [nights_dre] * nights_dre thinks steve is too sexy to be emma KWagner enters this room [BamfBunny] Because we all love him better when he's hard. [Phoenix] * Phoenix mindrapes SteveFrost [SteveF...

And people have also found mods in chat, or checked who was online. That works too - just remember the Report Post option.

I've found a lot of Nightcrawler toys on eBay - more than I'm interested in having, in fact. You might still be able to find the 6" and 12" X2 figures. Kurt's also been included in a number of other X-Men sets over the years.

The mods of the various forums generally keep a close eye on things, but they also depend on members reporting violations of the forum rules. If you look at the top left of each post, you'll find a "Report post" link - so, if you have concerns and want to notify the staff, click the button...

now in the new forum, i was gonna move the posts, but they are jsut reposts. you all wouldn't be crushed if i jsut deleted everything in there?

Be my guest, O our queen.

Angel of the Night, I've deleted your post because I believe it goes beyond the respect called for in the rules. Religion is a topic where it will not be possible for everyone to agree, but flat-out declaring that anyone is going to hell is not acceptable here.

Originally posted by spinifex Would he be able to go to Confession, looking the way he does? Maybe not with those newfangled glass-sided confessionals, but with the older ones ... sure, why not? Maybe the scars are in lieu of that. He knows he can't confess to a priest, so he 'confesses' via scarif...

Originally posted by Lauren Because that's exactly what happened in Afghanistan with Al Quadi, they forced people to belief what they wanted them to believe [...] You're thinking of the Taliban, the religious government that ruled Afghanistan before the second Gulf War. Al-Qaeda is a terrorist orga...

Originally posted by Bamfette In the novelization he adds to the 3 phrases above: " Ich bin ein dämon " (should actually be "ich bin ein Dämon" with capitalized D) - I am a demon On the Spanish-language version of the DVD, he actually speaks these lines. (The Spanish and French ...

I was surprised and pleased by Kurt's devotion to Gabriel in X2. I've always been fond of Gabriel, if you can use the word "fond" about a being so fearsome that he has to precede all his announcements with "Fear not". Gabriel is a herald, and in the Christian tradition it's his t...
