furthermore, we also have the highest level of stupid people in the state, due to the student population and over-intelligent researchers, which all stems from the University's non-sensical overthinking of everything.

Well OF COURSE your area has the highest level of stupid people in your state. YOU are there, aren't you? Your problem, Adam, is that you overcompensate. You claim that everyone else overthinks things. You take the opposite extreme.

Obviously.

it's possible that you are right old man because people need to think and things need to progress. But it just might be you that's seeking me out in the future that is if you live that long

Adam thinks because he excepted Gods offer of (salvation) he is safe to say or do whatever he likes. Sorry recheck what the Monks have taught you grasshopper, you will pay a price for mocking this offer. If I dare say KARMA is a bitch. Karma is real, and it will mess with you trust me.

i never said that, GRASSHOPPER. you assume too much. I said THIS:

and that means WHAT to me? should I care?

I DID NOT say this:

I'm immune to the virus

I think your narrow mindedness has been exposed, my good friend. furthermore, per a previous post of mine, salvation should not have even been given to me, as I told Richard what I did. but it seems as though that's not true now...

Adam I am not quoting anything specific, just a general attitude you express.

If the members have the wrong impression of the kind of person you are, then please by all means correct OUR misunderstandings.

Edit: I have not blocked anyone and I doubt I ever will, we could use a second chance now ant then.

For the love of GOD, no!!!

Adam, it is possible to be a really good person and yet make a bad first impression. When you were here the first time over 10 years ago under another nom de plume, you gave such a bad impression as to get banned. My issue is that as of the moment you write this, you are on 2,396th impression of your current incarnation - and we still aren't favorably impressed.

You talk about common sense but then you are such a boorish person as to even hijack threads in the Introduction section. Where is the sense in that? (Rhetorical question, because that behavior is pure nonsense.)

In the technical section, you commonly speak ill of Access. We all do, but that's not the point where I'm heading. If you are going to speak of the shortcomings of the product, then offer alternatives that make sense in the context of the question. Offer workarounds. But don't point to a mediocre web site that offers nothing useful because you haven't finished it yet.

You have offered "explanations" of many things but totally botched them. You get called down on so many things but nothing makes a dent in you. And yet you wonder why you get no respect? What have I been telling you about personal relationships? They are REFLECTIONS. You treat me with respect, perhaps I will return the favor. You casually dismiss me in some way, perhaps I'll drop you like a hot rivet. The point is, if you give bad advice you can expect bad reviews. What goes around comes around.

You think I might come to you for something one day. If it happens that I ever decide to pick up PHP or get heavily invested in web issues, I might. Or I might not. I grant that the future is not predictable. But may I offer advice on that? While waiting for me to come to you, don't hold your breath.

Surely, this thread is supposed to be discussing the biggest threat to the world for centuries.

Why are you all arguing with a poster who has proved he is a total pillock. Let's get back to the serious business which affects us all so drastically.

Well just watched sky news it looks like I will have to go in a 12 week lockdown as I have COPD Don't know what I'm going to do by the end of it I'll owe so much It'll take me years to get back not only that my mrs just lost her job as the place had to close.

at least I have things to do with my work with access.

the comment was of a religious nature, sir. it has nothing to do with PHP or anything else web-based. or technology based for that matter.

as for respect around here, I don't care too much. this is exactly why I told you that, if you ever met me face to face, your attitude would change immediately. but alas, since you are so against that, you'll never know will you? I live in a very small place and have no need to travel, so if you ever wanted to satisfy for your curiosity, more than likely you would have to give an MS access talk in my area. otherwise, a face to face is probably a moot point.

alternatives => anything outside of office => oracle, sql server, mysql, azure or even EXCEL for that matter. =) there's nothing wrong with access. the fact that it sometimes sucks goes all the way back to microsoft not caring about it because it makes them no money. I will always believe that. the CLOUD is what makes money, NOT local programs like this one.

I rather expected that. My response remains: Don't hold your breath while waiting. Unless, of course, you have a desire to meet your maker sooner rather than later. Not suggesting anything, you understand.

Nor do I need to come to you anyway. While you might not care for his style, the Rev. Billy Graham made it clear that according to Protestant Christian dogma on this subject, if we wanted to do so, we could pray directly to God without church intervention. This is because to his understanding, the death of Christ on the cross removed the barrier to direct prayer. Note also that in some churches, particularly during the dark ages, the idea that you can pray directly without intervention of a clergy person was once considered heresy. This despite Matthew 18:20 - "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."

in history, people are chosen to be intercessors. they are needed, as are priests as a way to unburden the soul.

in this day in age, christ is present in all things, even evil things although it grieves him. but then again, he was always present in all things and always will be.

on a side note, it remains to be seen what kind of turmoil my presence will cause in the catholic church. some people will say I'm evil.

Had to look that one up, and I agreed wholeheartedly

 

[Dreamweaver]

He is a complete p***k This topic is about Coronavirus that pillock smother every topic he can with a total load of crap maybe I'm under a lot at the moment so best I not say anymore

 

[The_Doc_Man]

@MickJav, you are right. Adam does try to hijack threads. Our choices are totally ignore him or call him down. I have chosen to engage and call him down where possible. You certainly can ignore him if you wish.

@vba_php: Ah, yes... intercessors. But then you do know the Bible and the Apocrypha well enough to realize that intercessory prayers don't work, right? Look in the first three chapters of the book of Esdras to find out the origin of the idea that we have to make a personal relationship with God because those third-party intercessions are worthless in the end. And the total shame is that an ATHEIST has to school you in Biblical content.

We're here for ya Mick. Keep your head up.

it's an issue of catholicism, super-nice person, not an issue of your atheism. prayers to God and through intercessors both work just fine for truly faithful people.
