But that takes the fun out of this! *NM* Larry Send a noteboard - 09/11/2010 11:21:25 PM
I'm kind of allergic to pointless quoting making posts long to load and long to scroll over with nothing even written in them.

Needless to say, if you'd actually put text in the bodies, that would be even better.

This is why people dislike you. Dan - 09/11/2010 07:03:17 PM 946 Views
Umm...I care? Larry - 09/11/2010 08:42:55 PM 920 Views
Because you should care about being intelligent, rather than appearing to be intelligent. Dan - 09/11/2010 10:32:04 PM 960 Views
Again, why would I care? Larry - 09/11/2010 10:38:21 PM 974 Views
No one can make you care about being decent, or intelligent, or a viable member of the community. Dan - 09/11/2010 10:41:34 PM 879 Views
I think it's rather pointless, to be honest. Larry - 09/11/2010 10:54:17 PM 909 Views
Then why are you even here? Dan - 09/11/2010 10:59:49 PM 856 Views
I don't know. I thought I'd see how long I could string you along. Larry - 09/11/2010 11:00:37 PM 791 Views
You're the one who doesn't care. Dan - 09/11/2010 11:02:11 PM 834 Views
I care only as much as I care. What others think is irrelevant to that. Larry - 09/11/2010 11:04:15 PM 844 Views
But you're still responding to me. Dan - 09/11/2010 11:05:37 PM 876 Views
Because I'm stringing you out until you quit. Larry - 09/11/2010 11:10:18 PM 954 Views
I'm not going to. I find this entertaining. Dan - 09/11/2010 11:12:27 PM 873 Views
I do as well. It's fun pretending to be an asshole, I'll admit. Larry - 09/11/2010 11:17:34 PM 871 Views
Come now, who's pretending? Dan - 09/11/2010 11:22:18 PM 890 Views
That is officially the last one before I start editing and making them NM. *NM* Legolas - 09/11/2010 11:24:12 PM 412 Views
Word. *NM* *NM* Dan - 09/11/2010 11:29:37 PM 338 Views
Me, most of the time Larry - 09/11/2010 11:40:26 PM 877 Views
Keep telling yourself that. *NM* Dan - 09/11/2010 11:46:34 PM 750 Views
Why would I? It's not something I think much about these days. Again, what others think is trivial. *NM* Larry - 10/11/2010 12:01:03 AM 450 Views
What about THE Other? *NM* Dan - 10/11/2010 12:16:53 AM 372 Views
I'm not going to quote Sartre here...this time. *NM* Larry - 10/11/2010 12:20:22 AM 375 Views
Are you 5? Camilla - 09/11/2010 11:14:26 PM 742 Views
See my original point. *NM* Dan - 09/11/2010 11:15:30 PM 372 Views
Nah Larry - 09/11/2010 11:15:48 PM 1008 Views
But you were asked about it originally. That was my point. Dan - 09/11/2010 11:23:25 PM 799 Views
And I was evasive about it at the time. When pressed, I answered more fully. Larry - 09/11/2010 11:48:27 PM 890 Views
Why be evasive? Dan - 10/11/2010 12:16:19 AM 986 Views
Because I didn't want to spend an hour pulling out a few dozen books. Larry - 10/11/2010 12:19:55 AM 996 Views
Ye gods. Could you people at the very, very least make your messages NM? Legolas - 09/11/2010 11:17:25 PM 861 Views
But that takes the fun out of this! *NM* Larry - 09/11/2010 11:21:25 PM 412 Views
Re: Best one liner of the threadjack. Gaps - 10/11/2010 12:37:27 AM 991 Views
I must say, I'm glad you all decided to play up when I was having an evening off. *NM* Rebekah - 10/11/2010 12:08:59 PM 408 Views
I disagree with your claim that there can be no value in translations. Camilla - 09/11/2010 08:51:20 PM 860 Views
Not "no value", but "different value" is what I would argue Larry - 09/11/2010 09:55:54 PM 939 Views
I don't disagree, but you can't possibly learn all languages, yet you can read translations of all. Legolas - 09/11/2010 10:56:58 PM 957 Views
They are often necessary Larry - 09/11/2010 11:00:09 PM 841 Views
My choice, hands down, is to ignore the poetry in languages I don't read. Tom - 10/11/2010 01:44:32 AM 877 Views
An English translation of The Divine Comedy was pivotal to my conversion to Christianity. Joel - 10/11/2010 11:04:57 AM 796 Views
Dante has a lot to answer for. *NM* Camilla - 10/11/2010 08:21:19 PM 371 Views

Nothing wrong with humorous redundancy! Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 01:10:02 AM 883 Views
Ooh, good survey. I've been thinking for a while we needed more poetry discussion. Legolas - 08/11/2010 10:58:24 AM 1030 Views
I think you underestimate the number of translations of the Bible. Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 01:20:30 AM 1016 Views
Did they just translate logos as... life-light? Dan - 09/11/2010 07:14:28 PM 883 Views
Yes. Yes, they did. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 09:56:09 PM 340 Views
*sighs* Dan - 09/11/2010 10:28:49 PM 761 Views
My favourite translation of logos is "point of it all". (beat.) - 10/11/2010 05:12:05 PM 1156 Views

I can count the poems I enjoy on one hand. Two fingers, in fact. lord-of-shadow - 08/11/2010 06:05:22 PM 924 Views
I think poetry is largely overrated. Palatine - 08/11/2010 06:12:59 PM 996 Views
And you are basing this on extensive non-reading of poetry? *NM* Camilla - 09/11/2010 08:57:06 PM 316 Views
Basing what, exactly? But the short answer is, no. Palatine - 10/11/2010 05:48:28 PM 935 Views
the problem is most good poets are dead and dead people tend to fail at marketing random thoughts - 08/11/2010 06:44:18 PM 938 Views
Re: Poetry: Stephen - 08/11/2010 07:04:01 PM 868 Views
I like some poetry, but by no means all. Camilla - 09/11/2010 12:28:41 AM 1018 Views
Now that you mention it, The Imperfect Enjoyment might rank among my favourite poems. *NM* Legolas - 09/11/2010 12:46:56 AM 368 Views
It is excellent Camilla - 09/11/2010 08:16:01 PM 1043 Views

Just remembered my favourite poem Stephen - 09/11/2010 10:50:03 PM 975 Views
That is very nice *NM* Camilla - 09/11/2010 10:59:53 PM 465 Views

I can't believe I forgot to mention Leonard Cohen. *NM* (beat.) - 12/11/2010 04:33:15 AM 364 Views
