I respect your opinion, but I have been interchanging posts with Greg for many months and I recognize it for what it was. The island concept was in direct opposition to Greg's "morality" must come from God or you are immoral. The last few days, Greg has increasingly insinuated immoral activity on the island, simply because he wishes to make his point which is that a secular island must be immoral. Here is one example: Message 15863160 "Ha You got me :) Of course there are always those junkets to Thailand. My daughter went there last year to work in an orphanage that took in kids from the sex trade. Mostly white male customers, on vacation from their island homes. :(" If you understood Greg's rage about the assertion that people can be moral without his evil God, you would see that there is a bitter pattern which has reached the point of near hysteria in the last couple of days. So today we have the funny about (me) f---ing a cariboo. Was he trying to be funny? You may think so if you like. Now because I detest posting behind anyone's back, especially when we are sorting out some issues right now, I am removing the spell which keeps him off shore. So he may respond if he wishes to. Now, I have a quote just for you! As it is part of the literary genre, the vulgarity is, of course, art<g>. You may have seen this before, but anyhow! "The truth is stranger than fiction. Sutcliffe {the Moors murderer} was a very disturbed man. Sutcliffe was an arsehole. How tapped was that cunt. Some things you can never understand, some things don't lend themselves to reason, to rational analysis and explanation. I've started on Mother Teresa's biography, but I can't get into it. I don't really have much time for her; she seems a bit fuckin loopy tae me. She claims God tells her tae dae the things she does; it's got fuck all tae dae wi her. This is precisely the same argument Sutcliffe uses. That's all jist pure shite; people should take on a bit mair personal responsibility."
