Hi Amos,

They let me out, but not without damage though!! The worst part was the total control. A very cleverly engineered system which was keeping track of you whether you were a boarding school student or not. An example how a totalitarion state should be run.


And before I forget, Happy Newyear to all of you girls and boys.

Aw Gemma, and to think I just questioned your sense of humour in the "Catholic Nonsense" thread!

Same to you, and it looks like they made a good man out of you.

Was it boarding school or it did you not say that it was a Jesuit college of some sort? I actually wondered why you were in college for 12 years.

Amos,

In Europe, the college goes from when you are 6 till 18. As from when you are 12 they call it High School, and as from 18 you go to a University or another form of higher education.

That's your opinion but you might agree that without them you would still be living in tribal America?
Careful, Amos, your bigotry is showing.

Here is where I come from...and long to return ~




~ Thanks for the cultural subversion, Amos.

Your pleasure at the expense of the Euchean people speaks clearly for the foul institution you represent.

Sabine ~ what flavors would you recommend to get this taste out of my mouth?

OK I am from Europe and understand. So you were at a seminary, right? We went to different schools at 12 and 17 with a possible PhD at 22. I never went past 16 and maybe some small stuff until I was 18.

Not at all Ronin but it is wrong to argue that the Western world became the greates civilization ever despite the Catholic Church. To become great a great God is needed and my argument has always been that our science must supply God with the pool of omniscience from where our future generations extrapolate their science.

Of course this is chaos because all of creation is born out of the controversy between God and its creations that is made known to us in our divided mind wherein we are both the continuity of God and his human counterpart. To end this chaos only an inner revolt is needed wherein we come full circle in the Alpha and so arrive at the place we first started but know it now as if for the first time.

I doubt that you will ever be able to find peace in your heritage until you consolidate your present state of mind with the land of your birth (the alpha). Truly, you must learn to sing the Ave Maria so you can bless the land of your birth that so is regained in a land of your own. Heck, you would have to do that even if you never left the place, which, I agree, is much easier over there then it is over here because over here the mountains of input are insurmountable [without indulgences].

Oh my poor poor Ronin who must sing the Ave maria... at this point you need the flavor of Heavenly Hash and Rocky Road both !

I'd argue, but I've got absolutely no idea what you're saying...
