Wow.  It's different when you actually see the note.  Screw common sense. Just go for it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Where is our beloved LucasFan, and his own post of completed game announcement? He hates us.Ã,  :'(

That's just not LucasFan's style.   Besides, most people respect his creative and artistic brilliance too much to complain.

The way I would personally see it is this: I have invited people to attend church with me before, though I don't pressure anyone.Ã,  However, I don't use this as a condition of friendship.Ã,  Instead, I feel like I have something great to offer, something that has filled my life with happiness and made me a better person, something that gives my life meaning.Ã,  To me, it's only natural I'd want to share the thing that has brought me such joy with others.Ã,  If it doesn't bring them the same happiness, that's fine.Ã,  To me, it's not a matter of recruiting to build up numbers.Ã,  It's about sharing something I value very highly.Ã,  Usually I wait for other people to take the initiative and ask me about my beliefs, though, rather than proselyte to others.Ã,  Especially in a non-religious forum such as this one.Ã,  We're all here to make and/or talk about games, not convert each other to our belief systems.Ã,  And I think we've all done quite well so far to respect each others widely different beliefs.

And I certainly don't go around finding fault in others' beliefs, or telling people they're condemned to hell for not believing the way I do.

I don't see why you should go to church though. If she's sensible, she'll understand that you don't need to be a Christian to be a good person and have morals. If not, then it probably won't work.

Hyde didn't mention the girl's religious affiliation.  Why do you assume she's a Christian?

EXACTLY like Indiana Jones...

Here's one for $3.95. 5 GB of web space, 40 GB bandwidth, $10/year domain registration.

Or what about this one?Ã,  Web Hosting Starter Package for $11.95/year.Ã,  50 MB of disk space, 2 GB/month bandwidth.

If she's just trying to "save me" (as the pamphlet so generously put it) or "trying to show me the light", then I won't have anything to do with her at all... I mean, she does all this to try and get me to go to church?!?!?...making me think she likes me? The hell is that?!Ã,  That would be a really f---ed up thing to do...

The real issue is whether she actually does like you or is pretending to like you.Ã,  There are two things that can happen after you make it clear you have no interest in her church:

1. She continues to like you and doesn't care if you attend her church or not.Ã,  This means her invitation was probably just a byproduct of her feelings for you and that her feelings are geniune.

2. She just ignores you afterward.Ã,  This means her feelings were probably never genuine, and she just wanted to recruit you.

I just got out of a long relationship with someone who never accepted me and was always trying to change me, and out of all that I learned an important lesson about what relationships are all about.

Couples with different spiritual backgrounds almost invariably run into conflict at some time or another.Ã,  If you're interested in a long-term relationship, she may not be in your best interest, although it's really impossible for anyone other than you and her to know this for a fact.Ã,  If you're interested in a short-term thing or just being friends, why not go for it?

I'm a religious person myself, but I don't see why, even if he believed in another religion there should be anything wrong with going to another church.  It doesn't mean you've committed to anything.  I sometimes go to Catholic mass with my friend, but I'm not Catholic nor interested in becoming a Catholic.  There's a Hare Krishna temple several miles away.  One of these days I'd like to visit it for Sunday feast and to dance the kirtan.  It doesn't mean I have any interest in becoming a Hare Krishna.

Just be honest with this girl.  Let her know you're not a religious person and have no interest in becoming religious, but be respectful about her religion.  Attend her church, and enjoy the services for what they're worth.

I read all the posts and I was just amazed that the majority of people were all "I wanna be"s and not "I am"s. Come on, where are the adults? I wanna hear about what jobs people actually have.

As for me, I'm a university student for the next few months, but that's beside the point.

Well, I already mentioned what I am (software developer and technical writer).  However, I do still have other ambitions.  I WOULD like to become an ancient religious historan of either Christianity or Hinduism.  I'd like to go to graduate school someday and get a Ph.D.  That's what I wanna do sometime later in life, maybe after I retire in about 40 years.  I realize it might not ever happen, but it's something to consider.

Here's how *I* learned the Two Dead Boys rhyme:

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.

A deaf policeman heard the noise,
Came and shot the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man, he saw it, too.

You guys are too eager to believe.

Andy Kaufman's death certificate can be found here.Ã,  Isn't that proof enough?

I'd like to have a bus.  I'd spraypaint it with colorful artwork, and I'd be so honkin big, nothing short of a semi would be able to stop me.  Having a bus would ROCK!

I am a programmer and technical writer.Ã,  And thus it is.Ã,  Amen.

I believe theres a scene in Braveheart where one of the leads is wearing a wrist watch.

Also, if you look very carefully in the opening scenes of Braveheart where they're showing the landscape of Scotland, you can see some backpackers climbing one of the mountains.

Here's a free web site where you can instantly upload your pictures and post direct links to from other sites.Ã,  Pictures stay up for 30 days.Ã,  Thought it might come in handy.

I used to not like Tom Cruise that much, until I saw The Last Samurai.Ã,  I bought that the instant it came out on DVD.

I know someone who bought a used schoolbus for $400.

EDIT: I won't be able to go, so I don't know why I mentioned this. 

Gosh Relight, you suck at making insults.

Should the php file be nothing BUT php, because I've got the regular HTML of my site which has the thank you comment and stuff there as well...

Not if you don't want to.Ã,  Just keep the HTML outside the <? ?>s.Ã,  If you want to keep the two separate, you can insert

Code: ags

<?php require ("feedback.php"); ?>

when you need to, but it will effectively "insert" the whole PHP file.
