I love philosophy. I used to spend a lot of time at work talking to another Philosophy buff. God I miss working with him.

I would say that God is well aware of all events in creation, from personal experience. In case there is some misconception here I am not God, nor do I speak directly to God, at least so far as I know. I use another old hackneyed cliche "Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way".

Amend brother.

I can't agree more on everything you have said.

One of the major reasons why I am not trusted, and should not be, is that I have difficulty making the distinction between "can" and "may, between "to" and "with", the list goes on and on. So paraphrase whatever I say if it makes you uncomfortable. Dictionaries that I access are either unreliable or crash the net link I use when I access words. Many links I access, including those which are hyperlinks result in failure to access or once again crash the net link....

Upon consideration, the problem is likely that the lists of *onyms I have conceptualized do not agree with common usage. I am fortunate in this regard because this means I am indifferent to attacks which presume I know what is occurring. For example I experienced a mild prickling while reading at one site and finally realized with a laugh that the owner thought that I thought that I was "Superman" and was attempting to attack using "green kryptonite".

*rth is *lly *ven and *ven is *lly *ll.
I am not Popeye the Sailor Man, but Popeye is on the right track when he says :
I means what I says and I says what I means.

Edit : I reiterate, beware the English I use and ignore anything you may percieve as harmful. Upon consideration, this may be a brain teaser too difficult to try. I noticed the other day that the government has a new computer called "Deep White". See what that computer can do with the rhyme.
In the early 70s as I recall there was a song "When The Deep Purple Falls". That song would also be worth examining....

Edit 2 : I looked at the net again. Song lyrics, poems, speeches, practically everything is badly quoted. What the net really needs most of all is some quality control and write protection.
