My most sincere apologies. CB

No, you were honest and didn't offend me at all. No apology necessary. However, this isn't actually my school project, it is my brother's school project and I have to get it done because his GPA and continued school funding is essential to whether or not I can make rent this month.
My alternative is to whore myself out to 500 fat chicks for $100 apiece, or 50 really fat chicks for $1000 dollars apiece.

Well it does not really matter if you are going to college your school work should be your number one concern you have to do the things that effect you most direclty in life first then do the rest even it was volunteering his time to work on an old sub. I'd have done somthing that accounts for 10% of a final grade before I worked on a sub if he gets a bad grade having worked on the sub will have made no diffrence it is not going to eran him a diploma but doing the school work will.My grandfarther worked his ass off after WWII to use the GI bill and also care for a family as did my dad as did I. I think a WWII vet would be more honored by someone who works on their education first and foremost.

Fair enough, but I don't need a lesson in priorities. Again, this is not my schoolwork, but I have a vested interest in seeing it done properly. Furthermore, this is one veteran who appreciates the value of restoring relics of past wars, and it amounts to a great deal more than the college educations of a dozen business majors.

In any case, I will attempt to re-write the paper without the attempt at humor, and see how it turns out. Evidently, no one has found it funny thus far, so I think I might be better served by sticking to the basics.

What is your professor like? Does this person have a sense of humor? Id be very careful if they dont it may cost you.Id cut the humor to be safe it couls very easily come across as insulting to the professors time.Drop the humor and the why you dont relate with Hinn it would be better to explain more about how he is persuasive for folks who like the fire and brimstone I mean if he did not do things the way he did would the people that are convinced follow him?Explain your skepticism without the humor. Thats all I have he managed his time this way he will have to work through it.
The prof does have a sense of humour, but I don't want to push it too far. She is a self-proclaimed aetheist, so I thought she might enjoy the attempt at humor(I guess I should have mentoned that), but she is very strict about the requirements of each assignment. I wanted to make sure that I met them and that I did not do so in an offensive manner.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can do a piece where I relate to Hinn. I stupidly picked him as a subject because I knew that he wasnt what the prof was looking for, but he would still fall within the criterion. Basically, I tried to have some fun with the assignment and I may have gotten in over my head.


The situation now is thus; The prof knows that I picked Hinn for my project and has access to both of my video links. There is no way out of that. So....... I have to make this piece worthy of an "A", which can only be done by ensuring that quality, content, and audience appeal are all exceptional.
