Maybe her mother died and her father married an 18 year old, but then the father also died, so the stepmom married another 18 year old, and all of this within a year?

This just blew my mind. Surely it’s happened at to somebody at some point. Wonder what that was like.

Though not age-related, I thought this an interesting and strange case: I knew a husband and wife who shared the same set of parents. You see, after the younger couple hooked up, their divorced older parents met each other and fell in love and got married. I guess they never had to argue over whom to visit for Thanksgiving.

Some of the friendly faces around here haven’t been so friendly lately. Lots of grouchiness. On the other hand, some people have changed over the years from friendly to cynical, sarcastic smart-you-know-whats. So sudden grouchiness and gradual grouchiness are coming to a head. Extra grouchiness all around.

Hey, you’re stealing my name!

Completely agree.

Just because she doesn’t hold a grudge doesn’t make it wrong. That said, even in spite of her impaired judgment, I believe she interpreted everything as consensual. Just goes to show, though, that men seem pretty prone to make forceful advances.

I almost hate to even mention it here, but while we’re discussing sexual assault, is Harrison Ford guilty of the same charges so many other men are facing?

Since this is now the soccer thread, I agree with Warb. Also we should make them kneel the whole day while the anthem is playing.

Let’s give someone a hard time for bringing up an old, sensitive topic, then bring up an old, sensitive topic with someone else. That’s a good idea!

I give you permission to use this one.

Man, it’s been a while since anyone posted in that thread.

Has the forum really been that Darthless?

A dearth of darths!

I’ve reported you all for contributing to this. I expect any moment for this thread to be locked for this mockery of potential new user names. I hope you’re all quite pleased with yourselves!

Looks like a lot of work, but you’ve done an amazing job so far! I agree, the novelization is far superior to the movie. It’s fun to see the improved dialogue and narration. I hope you continue with this project!

I am in a stalled state of writing a fictional book that deals with Islam and a new faith dealing with branching off from Islam (somewhat like the Bahai or the Druze).

A new faith branching off an older establish faith. Hmm, that seems to remind me of something . . .

They say you should “write what you know.”

Adywan are you updating things like the opening scene to make the ships move a bit faster and have the models look more modern things like that? Thanks man keep up the really good work.

At least you’ve gone from Star Wars to DC Comics. It was a valiant effort to hide your identity. However, some people manage to leave fingerprints even in typed text on the Internet.

I have long been fascinated by Islam and even wrote a paper in its defense back in 2005 for my English 102 class. I am in a stalled state of writing a fictional book that deals with Islam and a new faith dealing with branching off from Islam (somewhat like the Bahai or the Druze). I know there is a great deal of evil in the world promulgated by extremist Muslims, but there are so many good people that it saddens me to have such an ugly voice of the minority representing the faith so much in the media. Oh, I also had a Pakistani friend in an anatomy and physiology class. He was a good guy and we often would discuss how amazing it was that the human body functioned as it did. We both could not help but ascribe it to the creation of an inspired Creator!

I don’t really have a question at this point. I am just very appreciative of a thread like this. I guess the name is probably representative of one of the very few trends I managed to start here. I am sure I will pop in and ask questions. Thanks for being willing to share your faith so openly.

E.T. agrees too…but Frink already knew that, right?

Hey that’s awesome! Congrats to you!

Maybe this thread exists…maybe I myself created it long ago…my memory has some vague recollection of such a thread…but man, I need to create a thread called “The Thread I Created to Talk about Threads I Want To but Don’t Create.” I have some abortive ideas that really would be fun, but think better of them after a minute.

I’m back!

Dangit!!!

Frink is leaving the thread! Woohoo!

Kings James Version? Pfft. New Revised Standard Version or bust.

eh. New International Version or New Living Translation.
2011 NIV is fine. I’m not picky about it being the '84 NIV like some people might be.

New King James Version might be “poetic”, but I imagine that wasn’t the intent of the original authors of the scrolls/books (outside of Psalms and Song of Solomon, obviously). KJV has also been said to be the least accurate translation, but is widely popular because a) there is no copyright; and b) it was the first ever english translation widely available to the public at large.

Let’s see, off the top of my head, I own the NASB, AMP, NRSV, KJV, NKJV, NJB, NAB, NIV '84, NLT, TLB, NWT, and IV. I’ve had opportunities to get the others, but the approaches of these ones interested me. Really, I’ve only read the KJV throughout. I’ve wanted to read the NIV, but I’ve never taken the time to get more than a few chapters through Genesis.

I wondered if the bolded versions would raise any eyebrows.
