Um, I need friends too, since I dont' exactly have an active social life. Anyway, yeah, hi! If anyone wants to talk to me, I'm open.

TwistedMac said:if I were a hippie I'd probably complain and say Mike gives off bad "vibes".. but since i'm not i just sorta laugh at people that end up in the cone of his flamethrower and take it too hard ^^
I'm kinda starting to like him.. he may be a compulsive flamer and a pessimist of high rank.. but atleast he's not a fool...
mikecash said:The really strange thing, though, is that even though I am an Atheist I display the common courtesty toward Christians to capitalize "God"......while one of his devout followers can't be bothered to reach for the shift key.
Oh my, these Southern Baptist guys sound really freakyVengeful Ronin said:Well, I have quite a bit of doubt about "god living in tenneessee." I go to a great church (PCA Presbyterian), but there are tons of southern baptist churches out there that are totally whack. The "christian" school I went to for the past 4 years was owned by an "independent southern baptist" that was right across the parking lot. Every tuesday and thursday we would go down to the church for "chapel." That church was like the gathering place for hypocrites. Lot of them would preach against something then turn around and do it, all would scream at the top of their lungs while preaching (which shows how stupid you are if the only way to get people's attention is by screaming). One guy was preaching against rock (they all believed every kind of music was bad except for classical and hymns), and he was saying something about how there's no such thing as Christian rock (which is total bull, a Christian rock song got me out of a 2-year depression, the song was a prayer), and all of a sudden the dude screams as loud as he can "I DON'T CARE" and starts shaking his fists and stomping his feet. It was like watching a little kid having a temper tantrum.
Tons of false churches out there, and Tennessee is just as corrupt as any other state (except maybe Cali). Also the rednecks scare me.
I'm not putting you down though, if you can live in this state and not hate it you're probably a better person than me.
mikecash said:Goodness gracious! Do you get all your exercise from vigorous jumping to conclusions? I hope you wear Air Jordans or use a trampoline or something.
mikecash said:I'd say it is both pragmatic and something even better than optimistic.
An optimist hopes that things will turn out for the better, and even believes they will. But that doesn't necessarily mean he will try to enjoy the present moment.
mikecash said:My motto exhorts people to enjoy the present, even if the present looks bad. I'd rather have a pessimist next to me having a good time than an optimist trying to gloss the present unpleasantness over by telling me things will get better.
mikecash said:Paul has seen me online in at least three other places, and Glenn in at least one. I leave it to them to verify that on JREF my behavior has been (comparatively, anyway) restrained, civil, and helpful.
