What Mormons Believe

Groucho (http://science.videosift.com/member/Groucho) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:39:37 -0700

For those who might question the accuracy of the translation method as depicted in the SouthPark episode:

“Joseph Smith would put the seer stone into a hat, and put his face in the hat, drawing it closely around his face to exclude the light; and in the darkness the spiritual light would shine. A piece of something resembling parchment would appear, and on that appeared the writing. One character at a time would appear, and under it was the interpretation in English. Brother Joseph would read off the English to Oliver Cowdery, who was his principal scribe, and when it was written down and repeated to Brother Joseph to see if it was correct, then it would disappear, and another character with the interpretation would appear. Thus the Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God, and not by any power of man.”

(David Whitmer-- one of the three witnesses, An Address to All Believers in Christ, Richmond, Mo.: n.p., 1887, p. 12. as quoted in the July Ensign (Mormon magazine) by Apostle Russell Nelson)"

There are other quotes to corroborate this, including from his wife Emma and Oliver Cowdrey, his principle scribe

How can you have "unhealthy food made from other even unhealthier foods"? Isn't that like an oxymoron or a reverse negative or something?

Universal Health Care? Illegal aliens get it, why not us?

jonny (http://science.videosift.com/member/jonny) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:21:58 -0700

Actually, I thought you were suggesting we deport as many as possible as soon as possible. If you're fine with the status quo, what's the problem?

>> ^MarineGunrock:
As for children that are born here: Why the hell are we granting citizenship to children of illegals (who are probably using the medical system for free) anyway?

Because that's the definition of citizen.

Economic impact: You're assuming that we remove 10 million people from their jobs all at once.

No, not really. Regardless of how fast those workers are removed, they still need to be replaced. There's already been labor issues in Arizona, Colorado, etc., though the decline in housing construction has alleviated it somewhat.

Foreign Relations: With whom? Mexico? Seriously? What are they gonna do? Not let Americans into their border to spend our money in their country? I think not.

It's always a good idea to maintain good relations with your neighbors. These issues don't exist in a vacuum. It's not just Mexico, though, but every country. If the U.S. did begin a large campaign to find and deport illegal immigrants, the international respone would be horrendous, at a time when we can least afford it. But, I take it we're in agreement that such a program would be a Bad Idea.

And yes, many illegal immigrants do pay taxes, even if they don't file. Payroll taxes (social security) are automatically withheld for any wage workers. Sure, many are paid under the table, but I think that is not the norm. Besides, taxes or no, they are still contributing to society, and at the very least that should be recognized and be a mitigating circumstance when considering their status.

The problem is that our current immigration laws don't allow for nearly enough immigrant workers (everything from farm workers to computer engineers) as businesses need.

Apostrophe-s on Plurals (Meme Talk Post)

MINK (http://science.videosift.com/member/MINK) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:21:48 -0700

you are right that language changes, but ditching the ability to express posession instead of plural is a bit extreme.

i use lower case i on the internet. But that expresses more meaning. I am being diminutive and casual. However, when you fuck with apostrophes you are just failing. Nothing added to the language. Only confusion.

i like apostrophe errors, it helps to show when someone is retarded or lazy.

Worst i ever saw... in my SCHOOL ffs... Mar's Bar's: 30p

That's not the beautiful evolution of language, that's just retarded. It shouldn't even BE a plural unless they are selling them in pairs.
