I don't see anything about Mary Magdalene in there... but there does seem to be an Aimee reference.  P2 Judas Iscariot is the new Mary Magdalene. _____________________

Aimee = Mary Magdalene, and who is playing the Judas role in our production of "Philip Linden Superstar"? Heh. Oh, I can't resist it. OK, here are the major roles in 'Superstar.' Let's say we were doing an SL version. Who would you cast? Jesus Judas Mary Magdalene Pontius Pilate Caiaphas Simon Zealotes King Herod Annas  (I should note that I have actually performed the role of Pilate in JCSS, which was great fun.)

I took my girlfriend to a local restaurant up in Ann Arbor once.
After dinner I excused myself to the boys room, and in lieu of the normal bathroom graffiti, there was about a paragraph's worth of text written in Cuneiform. I thought it was the neatest thing ever. Too bad I couldn't read it. _____________________

My godfather actually was one of the guys who wrote the cuneiform / ancient Sumerian dictionary: http://www.museum.upenn.edu/new/research/Exp_Rese_Disc/NearEast/sumerian_pr.shtm?msg=90 http://www.fetchbook.info/search_Ake_W._Sjoberg/searchBy_Author.html All that, and my mother introduced him to Jennyfur as, "This is Uncle Ake, the only person I know who's ever had scurvy!" I'm not the only tactless one in my family.  Let's bring cuneiform to SL! Oh for the love of Pete! I have a laptop, I'm sure it won't be able to convert to cuneiform! _____________________

A response by example of what I would deem tolerance. It is my belief a thread like this is primarily satirical in nature, and intended in good fun, rather than as a means of flaming others.
As such, I find it all to be rather silly, but not particularly worthy of taking offense. In fact, it is slightly amusing. Up to a ResMod what they think though. I'm just a new resident. I prefer Foxeiform to Cooneiform anyways. |

This thread is offending me. Some resmod please block it and close it forever You're just pissed because they never taught you to read cuneiform in Espana. I am offended by this. You attacked me and I have AR'd you. You shall RUE the day you stated this thread should be closed, and my lord shall strike down upon you with his wrath! No, no, no. If you're gonna do it, do it right. It's: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon thee. (Bang! Bang! You're dead!) P2 _____________________

Your path is the WRONG one because you don't have Ñ in your keyboard. Ñ is the chosen key of the cuneiform gods of New Sumeria, who shall come in the beginning of the new century and smite thee with their holy ancient beavers of doom.
That said, I take offense of Marcus' offense and I have ARed you, your friends, your family, a couple of resmods and one particular Linden who likes a fruit that is intrinsecaly offensive. I also ARed that Ingrid and Judas |

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." So bring your beavers, and I shall turn my cheek and accept more beavers. I forgot what all this offending is about, but I am offended. I'm AR'ing the entire forum, including myself. MM _____________________

In the beginning, merchants of Babylon were establishing precise counts of transactions by putting a small stone for each unit or merchandise counted in a small bag kept near the merchandise.
Because opening, counting the stones and closing the bag everytime they wanted to know how much it was worth was tedious, they made the bag in clay and imprinted on it a | for each stone. This way they could count the stones without opening the bag everytime. Then they figured out they didn't need the stones inside now that they had the | written. The bag became a simple clay tablet. Numbers were born. And now we have LSL, words that make the world into what you tell it to. Nam shubs ! _____________________
Either Man can enjoy universal freedom, or Man cannot. If it is possible then everyone can act freely if they don't stop anyone else from doing same. If it is not possible, then conflict will arise anyway so punch those that try to stop you. In conclusion the only strategy that wins in all cases is that of doing what you want against all adversity, as long as you respect that right in others.

Its ok Selador, I got you, and obviously so did phoenix.
What Phoenix did was what I call the "Star Trek" progressive simplification process. It goes like this...... Tuvak: That vessel is radiating excessive amounts of tachyonic radiation. If this build up continues, a trans temporal fracture may occur in the fabric of subspace Harry Kim:Ah, Tuvak, youre suggesting the creation of a time space wormhole Tom Paris: Ah , Time travel. _____________________
