You spelled out a recognizable four-letter word with non-alphabetical symbols.
Of course you already know this, since you typed it.

You’ve been a member of this forum since December 2012 and “you have no idea how this works.” C’mon dude….
If my memory serves correctly, this is the only offense for which the original "Webby" (Don Elbourne) would ban someone! I'm sure if you simply refrain from the "Seven Dirty Words" George Carlin often spoke of, there should be no problem.
No, I am not going to post a link (and likely get banned myself) but all you have to do is go to YouTube and put "George Carlin - Seven Dirty Words" and it should come up!
You're welcome!

Don had two offences: swearing, or posting/linking to pornography. Not applicable in this case, but we did have a whole foofaraw a few years back about whether it was permissible to post images of nude women to the forum. Because people are stupid.
Back to the original topic,
If asked if Jesus ever came to Canada or witnessed to a Canuck I would have said "You Hoser, Jesus never came to the great white north, he never had a double double at Timmies that I am sure Bud. He never reached a beauty like "The 6", "Cowtown", The Peg or even the Rock and surely never spent a Loonie or a Toonie, but all this talk of a white canoe now has me wondering EH.

I thought I saw Jesus standing in line at a Tim Hortons in Edmonton! Or maybe he was behind the counter?
No, that was in Nelson BC.

I thought I saw him in the village of Ballykissangle.
If Jesus did visit Canada, I would take him fishing on Eagle Lake in Ontario. Its located near the town of Dryden, about 3 hrs. east of Winnipeg.
Option 2 would be Big Sands lake in the same region.

I loved my time in Dryden! My ex-fiance and I spent a lot of time there at the Dairy Queen back in the late 1970s when we were working with the Indians in the area. That was a fun summer!

With Charles III's coronation happening this saturday, they've brought the Stone of Destiny (aka the Stone of Scone) down from Scotland:
www.nbcnews.com
This stone is part of the "Coronation Chair" that English, and later British, monarchs have traditionally been crowned upon. It was used for the coronation of Scottish kings until the 13th century, until Edward I ("the Confessor") seized it from a Scottish abbey and had it fitted into a wooden chair in 1296. Kings and queens have been crowned on it since, though the Stone of Destiny itself was repatriated to Scotland in 1996, and of course the last time it was used for a coronation was 1953.
There are plenty of myths surrounding the stone. Apropos of the topic of this thread, one of these myths is that it's the stone Jacob used as a pillow at Bethel and then set up as an altar, after seeing his vision of heaven. As the legend goes, the prophet Jeremiah had possession of the stone, and took it with him when he was exiled to Egypt. Subsequently he travelled to Ireland, where he died, and the Stone of Destiny made its way to the abbey in Scotland.
As for the stone itself, it's just a chunk of indigenous sandstone quarried near Scone.
Stone of Destiny taken to London for King Charles’ coronation
The Stone of Destiny, an ancient rock and sacred symbol of Scotland's monarchy, was brought to London ahead of the coronation of King Charles. For centuries, British monarchs have been crowned on the more than 330-pound piece of sandstone. NBC News’ Ali Arouzi reports.

Very interesting. I actually wasn’t familiar with this bit of history—or I just forgot.With Charles III's coronation happening this saturday, they've brought the Stone of Destiny (aka the Stone of Scone) down from Scotland:

Are you acknowledging that you have an onset of dementia?
j/k
Haha. But seriously, it is amazing stuff I know I once learned and can’t pull up from memory now. I used to have the presidents memorized in order…can’t pull that off now without mixing someone up.Are you acknowledging that you have an onset of dementia?

Can't seem to get a feel if Charles is well liked or not. I suspect the average English citizen never fully got over him cheating on their beloved Diana.
I suspect he will never be admired and revered like his mother was.
Ya think!?
My sister and I don't agree on much but when QE2 died, she observed, "This British royalty stuff is nothing but an expensive habit." I can't argue with her there.
To be clear, you agree or disagree with her?
As an American, born into a system of self rule and elected government its hard for me to see why they have not rejected the monarchy long ago.
I often wonder what our political system would be like if we had 4 or 5 major Parties instead on just 2.
A party that mainly represented the rich
A party that mainly represented the working class and labor
A populist party
A very progressive party
An old fashioned traditional conservative party.
Agree
Right. It seems to me that they did reject the monarchy; they are more or less mascots anymore.
I agree that our two party system is a train wreck but I don't think adding more parties is the answer, especially when parties are as clear cut as you have posited. In reality there are as many parties as there are voters. This is why partisan politics is such a failure. Truthfully, we won't know effective or just government until Christ comes and sets up a true theocracy.
