I've seen that one before, and it's good! Thanks for bringing it back.

As to changing topics, some people just aren't happy unless they make it about themselves (or their beliefs).

One part of this topic was very funny - well done Subman1:up:

The other part wasn't:down:

Well, not a book, but interesting and developing. :up:

"A better Book"?? I'm so confused. :doh:

I saw the video and I thought it was very funny.

I must have missed the name of the book, I thought it was just a video of "how to read a book", not how to read a specific book. If I'm correct, then there can be no better book to compare to the one in the video because the book was not given a name.

I think this thread takes the award for going off topic in the fewest posts. :rotfl:

Lets me verify that.

1st post sets topic of how to read a book.

2nd post claims their religious reference guide (a Bible) is better than the unnamed book for which the title was not relevant.


:hmm: Yep, that's pretty quick :rotfl:

robbo180265 04-13-07 02:11 PM

Why is it that we just can't have a discussion without some Christian shoe-horning religion in ?

If I want to know about it - I'll look ...... ok?

GSpector 04-13-07 02:20 PM

Careful there, I think he was Catholic, not Christian.

The video was very funny. Debating the differences of these 2 religions in not. :nope: Sooo, let's not go there.

You are absolutly right(apart from the fact IMO Catholics are Christians aren't they?)

It just annoys me, sorry for leading the topic off thread again:oops:

That was my point! But apparently its harrassment to point that out.:roll:

Maybe I should have just let him get away with it.

Has anyone noticed the parallels with computer tech support yet in the vid?

GSpector 04-13-07 09:54 PM

Yes, I did. That's why I thought it was so funny. I used to be a Tech Support Phone Rep for Gateway.

The video made me think of what it must have been like when the 1st book came out to the general public. I have no doubt, back then, (Book) Support made house calls.

I am sure even back then, there would be those that would rather go to Mac, the next door neighbor and have him read the book to them while the Book owner just dreamed, while looking through windows, of the day that he could turn the pages himself. :roll:


:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Macs are for lightweight yuppie twats that sell out. Windows is for daft useless gobsh1tes that don't know any better.

Linux is for people that like everything good about Macs, PCs, and a whole lotta Swedish innovation.:D I don't need tech support when I put the kernel together myself! Its all about liberating yourself.:up:

Man, tech support.:roll:

How to repair cars in Australia
http://www.kuiconnect.com/how-to-repair-a-car-cars.epl

Quote:

Australian cars have been built to perform, the performance of a car can be enhanced when the engine and all the parts are in excellent condition. Learn how to repair cars so you can save money and improve the way your car will operate on the road. Many courses will teach you not only how to repair a car but will also introduce you to how a car actually operates. A car is a machine and can be broken down to many minor and simple parts. A car maintenance course will show you that the intricate nature of an automobile is not really that complex.

If you own a Australian or imported car, many of the simple concepts can be applied and learnt to any makes and models. A poor performing car is not an enjoyable experience for the driver, the passengers and sometimes the others on the road. Learn how to repair cars to Australian standards using the recommended tools and materials.

:yep:

That's a REALLY nice ad, I hope it's true. I think that's what real christianity (in the way I deeply respect 'real christianity') should be!

Gildor 04-14-07 11:00 PM

It's real. Google the United Church of Canada or Wondercafe.ca.
