I'm absolutely fascinated by metaphysics and characterization, so I try to look at it from that angle. You can argue whether God does/doesn't exist until you're blue in the face, but the CHARACTER very much exists, and analysis thereof can provide some great insight into the modus operandi therein.

Pretty much my thoughts. I just dont like diving to deep into metaphysics on a forum of any sort, Get me a couple martinis and bring the topic up and prepare for some deep thought.

Well, before that it was Halo Wars strategy guide (Sgt. Forge is da man) and Investing In Real Estate (cause I'm going to be rich, soon).

Woot when your rich dont forget the little people.

Oh, sure. The moment I "Weigh In" on a subject is right when you change the subject!


On my bedside table I have "A Game of Thrones" at the moment. On my headboard rests the rest of the series wating for me to FINALLY finish the book since I am a painfully slow reader.

Dngergrrl has the same book on her table. We have two copies of it thanks to a spare copy that TPChid had since he bought book one and then ended up buying the same box set that I have. She reads far more quickly than I do and has already surpassed me in the book and has only been reading it for a little over a week or two. She will be starting book two before the end of the week.

Already forgotten. What was your name again?

Cause ogre threads are known for holding onto one topic........


Im reading the first Book of the Cleric Quintet , its called Canticle. R.A Salvatore is the man.

wouldnt expect anything less from you... On the day of revolution just remember that when your against the barricades.

I'll keep that in mind, but you better stay on my good side if you wanna be on my Christmas list....uh, whatshisface.

The 99% can drive Porsches right?

I was thinking maybe a case of HeroClix, as you're not good enough for a Porsche...and by you, I mean you.

but my mommy said I was special..

Hmmm.

Well, without checking the mirror to see how my nose looks, I believe my profile, such as it is, remains the same as yesterday. I still have a face for radio!

But I'm reminded of one of the lessons I learned from my late father, sometime after he had instructed me on how to greet a man (with a firm handshake while looking the man straight in the eyes): avoid talking about religion or politics in the company of others --- unless you're in a house of worship or at a political club's meeting place, respectively.

In short, there's a time and place for everything. As with any other possible topic under the sun, the folks who post here will ultimately decide what's fit for discussion.

For what it's worth, I'd prefer not to see either discussed here --- certainly, not at any great length. There are other places on this site for certain kinds of discussion and, of course, PMs. But that's just me. Admittedly, I'm only one guy and I'll go with the flow, deciding for myself whether to continue reading or go elsewhere. That said, I'm not going to put anyone on my Ignore List simply because they may feel differently.

As we've seen since these Ogre threads started and developed -- some would say "changed" instead of "developed" -- over time, folks come and go. As with most things, each of us makes the decision whether this -- whatever "this" is -- is something that we enjoy enough to invest our time (if not money) in it.

With all due respect and not to be insulting to anyone, I tend to lean towards Mark Twain's line about how often, when it comes to religion and politics, a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's.

As always...just my two cents.

With inflation thats not worth much.

Oh, sure. I'm not one for discussing religion out of turn, but I figure character is fair game.

That said, there are some who are truly unable, for whatever reason, to differentiate between the two.

Still, glad to have had an engaging convo that died when it needed to.
