General Chat

i am sure that colin doesnt consider himself an atheist from what he has said....although my interpretation could be way off

Hi Colin,

to continue the debate (sorry I always seem to go off a tangent especially on your threads lol) I've perceived from several of your threads that you are against the church or at least the establishment of the church.

Do you mind me asking whether you consider yourself an atheist?

Evening wild and all.thanks for the suport

Well said there Squirrel,
Evening Karrie & all

I agree with you there Victoria...

Hi Susan, I have to agree with others to say poor spelling is down to ignorance is a huge generalisation.

Not everyone has had the same opportunities at school but people try their best. This does not mean they are stupid either, just because people can't spell, doesn't mean people can't reason.

I'm not a great speller (i rely on spell-checkers)and my keyboard skills are awful but I object to people that don't know me calling me stupid or ignorant.

There are also people on site with medical problems that effect their typing and spelling ability. I object on their behalf at being called ignorant.

Also, I worry about people reading such views and not joining in because they are worried about people perceiving their poor spelling as ignorance, stupidity etc.

I'm not having a go at you but I feel very strongly on this subject :-)

I agree Karrie all are intitled to an opinion but I do object when someone implies that bad spelling makes me ignorant. Victoria

i agree it certainly a moving number....although as a kid i was always confused as i didn't realise Jerusalem was in england lol

I'd like to thank those that supported my opinion. I hope I am a fair person & listen to others views.

I like nothing more than to debate subjects especially religion (as those that know me best will know lol)..

No one is too stupid to have an opinion, whther informed or not... thank goodness for individuality

Well Webby Hon;

I think people should be aloud to do what they like, If some was honest they would say it-- as do some of my aqaintance.
ought to be the national anthem. Its certainly a
moving number as is Shanandoah
the serious me.

oh i have read back and saw you said 'not the place' missed that sorry

colin can i ask do you think it should be banned and what is your argument for this?

Hi all...just pokin me nose in lol

re spelling...it is not always dyslexia u r right but to say it is ignorance i feel is rather harsh.....my spelling is rubbish...sorry about that, it would be terrible though if i thought myself too ignorant to join in your debate...after all you need many options from different types of people to get a full picture i think.

As for Jerusalem....did you clarify colin if you was talking about the hymn or the place?...not that it matters much to my answer as i dont think banning either of them would be particularly helpful....unless i have missed the point here??

Excuse me susan my spelling may be poor but you do not have the right to tell me that I am ignorant just as you objected to an opinion that you misunderstood . Victoria

Hi Caz,
it leaves you in exactly the same position as myself. We simply have different views. I could say where does it leave me but I am certain of my beliefs therefore nobody can insult me. About being dyslexic, poor spelling is not always down to being dyslexic, just ignorance. Dyslexia is another matter and very unfortunate for your sons and it was not aimed at people with this problem, and I apologise if you felt it was. Sue

Susan it has nothing to do with you being new or anyone reviring colin .He made a point and you replied I just feel that your replies are getting more personal.thats just my opinion which I believe I am allowed.you have twice thrown insults at someones opinion.It was just pointed out that the spelling could be down to other factors and to my knowledge academics has nothing to do with intelligence anyway. Victoria

SUSAN SWEET PRINCESS
I was not alluding
to you, and by the term stupid i meant supercillious
and was speaking of scientists, which i assume
you are not.I will happily philosophise on any subject
with anybody and those on here who have known me a long time know that to be true. All i was saying
which you seem to have steered out of contex is
i will not waste my time argueing with people who
should know better (Scientists) than the old
Greek drolory of Evolution.

colin
P.S. as to my spelling ime humble enough to
admit it leaves a lot to be desired, as does my
thought pattern, sometimes back to front, but
ime assured ime getting there.

~~~~~~~~~ To the lovely Lesley, a most kind and helpful person. Am feeling low, love with family problems and only feel able to post on threads which debate.


Susan hi, I dont even know Colin, but hi Colin!


Caz xxx

~~~~waves to Caz~~~~~

lol.........now I do revere Caz lol

Hi Susan :-)

I'm not new but have taken a break from the boards for a while. So I don't know Colin. I've spotted a few of his threads recently which I thought made good debates.

I certainly don't revere him lol. Indeed, I seem to hold differing opinions to him. I must be one of the stupid ones lol

However, I stand by my point that I don't think a person's intelligence should be measured by their spelling ability. Re the spelling, do you believe that or were you just making a point? :-)

This is difficult for me,

I have 2 dyslexic children, believe in God, love the lines from Jerusalem and was born and bred in rural Cumbria, where does this leave me lol?
