Hey its that Echelon Guy!!

Postby Echelon » Fri Sep 26, 2003 2:06 am

Hey Guys, its me, Echelon the non-troll open minded Christian.

I joined these Forums hoping to learn something, about my faith, about Anime and about you lot. I don't wish to get anyone off side by some of my views and ideas, but I am not afraid to voice my opinion. If anyone wants to talk with me about anything, feel free to, I will be on here quite often from now.

I guess that's all I have to say for the time being, make me feel welcome (you already have!)

Catch yez later.

Rick

Rick... despite that being my brothers name, when its used in context not reffering to him, it makes me cringe... **shiver**

But that probably has nothing to do with you. Anyhow, welcome aboard. The mods ain't gonna ban you for voicing opinions as long as you're not rude... Or advertising the church of scientology or something. However, just as you voice your opinions, we voice ours. And if you say something totally anti-biblical, you prolly won't get banned (except for breaking rules) but you will get corrected. So, don't take it personally, and come here and discuss anime with us and welcome aboard.

Hey. Out of curiosity are you an engineer?
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Lol, no!

I am a cadet journalist, so I have an affinity with the office working relationship. Thats it, Dilbert is my humour, I need humour. Must have humour. Altho, I think not many find it funny, am I correct?

It's not one of the most populsr strips, no. Personally, I like it. But then again, I /am an engineer.

For me, his actual humour is very offbeat, not alwyas funny, but curious, perse. I just have to look at his drawings tho and I laugh.

Out, out demons of stupidity! LOL. I LOVE dilbert. Then again, like TM, I can relate on a professional level (software engineer). I do know of at least one person who can't stomach it, though. Mainly because it's TOO true. I think Dogbert is my favorite, overall. Though Wally is a close second.
Boss: Sign this form. It says if you quit you can't do any work for a competing company for 5 years.
Wally: OK.

Thanks Gala.

Hey oldphilosopher, I am addicted to Dilbert so badly. I think I need classes. But, nevertheless, its a great passtime. I would have to peg Dogbert as my fave character,if only for his hilarious schemes. Its great

I'm really late in saying hi, Echelon; sorry. :stressed: I love Dogbert too. He's so much the schemer dog. :thumb:

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.
