Reason for everything
amen writes:
I died from pneumonia, my mother was crying next to me, my father started to comfort my mother, though he kept close to my mother, he also feared she would try to kill herself. I was 16 yrs old and I didn't believe in God. I rejected God and cursed his name for the pain this world caused me. I was dead for a minute and 43 seconds, though it felt like I suffered for years in Hell. I still can't forget what I saw and I never will forget the pain I felt, It is 1 trillion times as painful, as this world will ever be. I'm thankful and am glad to have been given a 2nd chance.
This is what I needed to hear. Thanks, I can now appreciate your perspective. I know it was awful for you. I have expereinced my own hell.
I'm sorry you felt I was judging you and I won't hold it against you. However, I might have to have a word with god about you calling me stupid.

If there is a "requirement" to be "met" before getting the free magazine, then it isn't a free magazine.
It really is simple, ICANT.
If the magazine was truly free, I wouldn't have to meet any requirements to get it.

Ni nator,
If the magazine was truly free, I wouldn't have to meet any requirements to get it.
I guess you didn't pick up any free calendars at the bank this year.
Have fun,

Does the bank give away calenders to people who aren't their customers, or is it a "thank you" for doing business with them?

Anybody that wants them and asks for them.

BIG BUMP FOR DAMEEVA
I am posting this message to the originator of each thread in which I have participated. I apologize to those I have not been able to respond to. Living a double life (see below) even on a forum is very time consuming. I have had a wonderful experience and aplogize for my deceitful behaviour.
RULE 9. Do not participate as more than one ID. You may change your user ID by going to your Profile Page and creating a new alias.
I have been participating as two identities.
In my defense, I created two identities because I felt I needed some moral support. I also thought it would help to promote some points that I could not do alone.
In view of this obvious breaking of a clearly defined rule, there can be no excuses, no claims of innocence because the truth is:
I did not read the rules.
I prefer to judge myself and implement the consequences myself. I prefer to be my own judge and jury. In this case the punishment is a life time ban. I will retire DAMEEVA as from 1.2.08 (just to give myself time to pack my bags) unless a higher authority decides otherwise, in which case authority has the final say.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this forum and have learned a lot that otherwise I would not.

Choosing to bite the dust.
For obvious reasons, Heinrik:
Breaking the rules one agrees to on entering thing forum.
If you hover over the reason for suspension you can see that Dameeva can return.
Just another form of martydom.

Re: Choosing to bite the dust.
Sorry, Heinrik I forget you are relatively new here.
Martyrdom is an often used short hand for publically falling on your sword (often to avoid an issue) and is a common tactic. Also used to elicit sympathy.
Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

Well that certainly didn't work, did it?
Didn't dameeva say that he/she had broken the rules, and was not in fact avoiding an issue?
Would not he/she still have access to the other identity?

No. That was the deal to return: merge the accounts.
Your position, (as on any thread I have encountered you on) is that of a dumbarse.
