"Vindictive" is the best I can do. "Poor sport" would be my second choice.


Pissed off and insulted by overbearing
arrogance is closer to it.. But what was
I expecting, the Church industrialized
moral arbitoring, they patented it
and distribute moral axioms like they
were jellybeans at a Saturday matinee..

The only authority they have is what they've
given themselves, which means they have
no authority at all.

This is the Trump impeachment thread.

No one wants to read about EB's obsession with FrG here.

Looks like Stormy Daniels lawyer Avenatti, accused two different but incorrect Michael Cohen's of receiving funds. Russia gate continues to fall apart.

I blocked him and want
nothing to do with him anymore.
He can sit on his high moral horse
and hurl his I'm superior arrows at
somebody else, I'm done with it.


That must've been a blessed day for FrGamble.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Doesn't change the fact that the real Michael Cohen received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Russian oligarch, does it?

Avenatti is on Rachel Maddow right now. He says the funds attributed to the wrong Michael Cohens (that the right wing media is using to try to discredit everything he released) account for less than 1% of the total funds listed in his document. What he released is 99.35% accurate. In school, that'd be an A+.

I hope so, it was a liberating
one for me.

My mother liked that word when I was a kid. Many times she said to me, "Don't be a fink!" I'm still not sure what she thought it meant.

It also came up on Wizard of Id cartoons a lot.



When I was a teenager fink generally a term for someone who tells others what you had done that you didn't want known. It also had a general meaning of someone who you didn't like.

I didn't technically say it I just thought it might be another synonym for snitch, tattle-tale, or fink.

By the way I am not mad at Evenbob. I am certainly not mad at him because I did something to insult him, that seems backwards. I also don't think myself superior to anyone and I am always amazed at the gifts, knowledge, and talents on this forum. I am usually too scared to and can't really contribute anything on any of the threads except the religious ones.

I know Evenbob doesn't seem to like tattletale because it makes him sound like he is in third grade. However, what would you can someone who gets mad and then won't talk to someone anymore and takes his toys and goes home?


Welcome to the club , FrG. It's a long and illustrious list, I think.

I'm getting way off topic here, but is there any member of this forum who can speak to any religion other than Christianity and Judaism? I have a genuine interest in learning about other religions and would be interested to start up a knowledge-seeking thread. Personally, I know a thing or two about Buddhism (although I keep forgetting how to spell it) but not nearly enough to lead an intelligent discussion about it.

I've studied Buddhism on and off since 1970.
It's about meditation and putting you in touch
with who you really are. I'm especially interested
in zen Buddhism, which is stripped down, cut to
the chase Buddhism. Who are you, what makes
you tick. It involves meditation and concentrating
on questions that have no real answer, to make
you see reality in a different way.

Here's a typical zen story. Two monks are watching
a flag flap in the breeze. One monk says 'Flag is
moving.' The other says 'Wind is moving.' Just
then the master comes along and says 'Mind
is moving'.

These stories are meant to point you in the
direction of moving your attention inward, to
yourself being the source of your reality.
