Language as a tool, not an essence, etc.<BR/><BR/>This, in any case, is why I am so wary of argumentation, especially that of a hostile, defensive ilk, until it's clear that people are not just fighting over the meanings of words, as opposed to what they point to.<BR/><BR/>xxxJonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467412541030183747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633172162044104844.post-37364307751699338382008-09-05T18:24:00.000+01:002008-09-05T18:24:00.000+01:00Disciple certainly ought to be a voluntary positio...Disciple certainly ought to be a voluntary position.

I guess it's that whole implied idea of submissiveness, of blindly, uncritically following, that leaves me cold.<BR/><BR/>If you were God, wouldn't you want your creatures to be upstanding freethinkers; to argue if they didnt understand? Ok, within certain limits. If not, why bother creating them?<BR/><BR/>If it was ego massaging you wanted, as the deity, why not try a mirror?Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467412541030183747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633172162044104844.post-17726271584259705662008-09-05T15:57:00.000+01:002008-09-05T15:57:00.000+01:00An interesting presumption that a pretty pair of l...An interesting presumption that a pretty pair of legs wouldn't normally conceal so much more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633172162044104844.post-33563080052334210382008-09-05T12:56:00.000+01:002008-09-05T12:56:00.000+01:00I guess there really aren't many men that talk to...I guess there really aren't many men that talk to you while looking you in the eye are there...?<BR/><BR/>...thanks for that Percy, a hard man is good to find!Selena Dreamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629908887644614404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633172162044104844.post-11330189205871097992008-09-05T09:14:00.000+01:002008-09-05T09:14:00.000+01:00you are so much more than a pretty pair of legs . ...you are so much more than a pretty pair of legs .
