I mean, I'd go for coffee with him, but he'd have to pay for it himself. I have principles, you know. If he concedes on the Jews and Christians, hen the coffee's on me. But no cream or sugar till he praises my famous head-lines.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-5954340224100542822009-05-01T00:37:00.000-07:002009-05-01T00:37:00.000-07:00Thanks Eowyn, let us know when you can name our tu...Thanks Eowyn, let us know when you can name our tunes in two beats: may be time to begin again!truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-51864413372521530372009-04-30T14:57:00.000-07:002009-04-30T14:57:00.000-07:00Oh, that there were 1,000 Mr. Buleihis in the Musl...Oh, that there were 1,000 Mr. Buleihis in the Muslim community. Even 100. Even 10.<br /><br />What a blessed breath of fresh air to hear one such as he acknowledge the incomparable contributions of Western civilization to the comfortable existence we all enjoy today.<br /><br />And how depressing to see university students parroting the same approach to dissent as the worst of the Muslims Mr. Buleihi decries.<br /><br />Of course, there's only one "vote" to be taken.<br /><br />(It didn't take me long to figure out that this post was authored by truepeers (as I don't like to know, with you guys, until I get to the end*), who has a bead on that particular presentation of argument that, I believe, was attributed to Socrates, but which I can't give a name to, offhand. That is, give the conclusion aforesaid, but also present creditable examples of both sides' basic arguments. Again -- a contribution of Western civilization.)<br /><br />I applaud, as always :)<br /><br />*(although, it must be said, dag's fingerprint is distinctive from the get-go :) -- the distinctions become finer between truepeers and Charles Henry.)Eowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166378681749345402noreply@blogger.com
