is the wording going to be changed too, say something like
In a sod we trust ?

 

[statsman]

In God we trust...
All others must pay cash.

 

[ShaneMan]

In God we trust...
All others must pay cash.

Maybe, "In the pope we hope."

 

[Rich]

Maybe, "In the pope we hope."

Useless slogan for many young boys eh

 

[ColinEssex]

shouldn't it be "in guns we trust"?

Surely guns are more of a religion in the USA than a so called make believe God?

so called make believe God?

Why do you find it necessary to stick a hot poke in someone? What motivates you to try and dig a negative response out of people? Why is it important to you to thoughtlessly step on what others value?

Because being evil allows you to do the evil cackle...and there is no better feeling in the world than crushing someone's hopes and then laughing like Vincent Price.

Yeah, Col?
I value grammatical accuracy. Either God's 'so-called' or he's 'make believe'. Make up your mind, eh?

No, grammatically it can be both. It's just a little ambiguous. The way he put it actually implies that he believes in God, like a double-negative. "I ain't never believed in God"

Now if he put a comma in between "so-called" and "make believe", then he would be saying what he is trying to say. Without the comma, "so-called" acts as an adjective on "make believe". With the comma, "so-called" acts as an adjective on "God".

the evil cackle...

It's a spin off of the 'Colin Cackle'



(Just kiddin Col - Hope you had a good week end on the scooter ! )

 

[Matt Greatorex]

Fair point, well made. I stand corrected.

Well of course the reality is that Americans put their faith in the creation, of wealth, that is

 

[Rich]

Why is it important to you to thoughtlessly step on what others value?

Now why do I get a reminder of the kettle and black pot here?

 

[ShaneMan]

Now why do I get a reminder of the kettle and black pot here?

First I would say that I directed the question to Colin. Second, I would ask you where I have ever stepped on someone values?

 

[Rich]

First I would say that I directed the question to Colin.

This is a public forum and as such the question is open to all to respond.

Second, I would ask you where I have ever stepped on someone values

Now, are you speaking as an individual or as an American?

 

[ColinEssex]

Why do you find it necessary to stick a hot poke in someone? What motivates you to try and dig a negative response out of people? Why is it important to you to thoughtlessly step on what others value?

why would I do that? I merely stated that in the USA, it seems that guns are a more popular form of religion, instead of the conventional fairy stories called the bible. So the motto should read "in guns we trust" because thats what Yanks do.

If you can tangeably prove there is a god - then feel free, I'm quite happy to listen. Just don't start on this "faith" business. Come up with some hard facts.

I value not believing in a god person / thing. But I get stepped on by doorstep religion pedlars, I suppose thats different because they are preaching the "good" word, they thoughtlessly step on what I value. . . . .does that make me evil?

Just kiddin Col - Hope you had a good week end on the scooter

Didn't get out on it Ken, busy doing gardening etc etc

Yes, this is an open forum, but Colin is the one that made the statement, so I was asking him, personally, why he felt the need to say some of the things he does.

Now, are you speaking as an individual or as an American?

As an individual

 

[Rich]

open minded, not brainwashed, not Republican, how many reasons are you looking for?

As an individual

the post was aimed at America as a nation, are you saying you're no longer an American?

Actually, I don't think there should be any motto on it, since it is the almighty Dollar that is the popular deity in America. Capitalism is the favored religion, and the Dollar is the god.

I think it should burn your fingers when you touch it.
