Hello All,
While a FEW of you will like me, the odds are high many of you will not. Got my nick name "Nasty Neil" from John Shensky, a good friend and an NCR Electronics Division co-worker. When I asked John why he had chosen it, he replied: "It is because you are always telling the truth and most people do not like hearing the truth." I can provide references from people I have known (some for over 50 years) who will attest I am one of the most truthful people they have ever known, I'm a Agnostic Atheist Activist whose has been a Atheist for 68 of my 77 years and an Atheist Activist for over half a century. I am a member of 3 Atheist groups "American Atheists," "Atheists United" and the "Military Association of Atheists & Freethinkers". And I was a 20 year member of FFRF until they recently both LIED to me and refused to print a letter to the editor. I have lived in more places, (3 countries 10 states, and 20 cities,) as well as at higher altitudes (14,300 feet) & in a "cloud forest" As well as closer to the Atlantic (within 100 ft) and the Pacific. (within 20 ft,) Had many more professions (a few are life guard, deep sea diver, paratrooper, manufacturing supervisor for NCR TRW and Magnavox and an industrial engineer for XEROX) And as I've also done more varied types of things than most do, I am much more experienced as well as knowledgeable than are most my age. Traveled on or in more types of trains, ships, boats, cars trucks and aircraft than most. I read at nearly double the speed (with high comprehension) of most college grads. Plus, my tested listening skills are four times better than those of nearly all others. I also have a "Gifted Level' IQ. One which tests prove I use nearly double as effectively as most use theirs. (( Pres. "the Liar" Obama, or as I call him ODUMA, proves that intelligence is like a man's penis as it is not how much you have, rather it how well you use it. And if ODUMA makes love as poorly as he thinks, I pity his wife! )) So combining my experience, intelligence and the fact I normally research things to assure I have more than sufficient facts to back me up, the odds of my being logically, or factually proven wrong on any thing I comment on are low. Last, aside from serving my country for nearly ten years, I've have repeatedly put my physical well being and my life on the line for others. I did so for Black Civil Rights more than a few times and each of the eight times I have been able to stop a crime being committed against others. (I stopped one two weeks ago at age 77 and had I been faster, it would have been two crimes in the last two weeks.) So, I sure ain't no "Chicken Hawk" Like Chris Hitchens, Tanny Bruce and many other Very Experienced & very Knowledgeable Atheists, I sure ain't NO "Liberal" neither! |

Well, Neil, I'd say welcome, but with an intro like that, perhaps that's premature. Just be sure to tell the Colonel how you'd like your meat, thank him for the goat's milk, and do have a mintie. And pat the goat on the head, would you? It would be appreciated.

Thanks road toad!
And hello colonel! Rather than clogging this thread up. Please eme at religionsucks@webtv.net and clue me in on goats milk and your dislike of oduma. Me, for over fifteen years, i've drinking daily and when needed, using topically a natural healing "miracle" which is so good, it sill amazes me! And while it is grown in the tropics all around the world and has been effectively used for over 5,000 years to effectivley treat and or cure over ninty different illness and injuries, most have never heard of it. Which amazes me as the company i get mine from had sales which were twice what microsofts sales were and they did it in a years less time! It is called "noni juice" and i love it!!! Thanks |

Perhaps a new thread is in order. Let's call it the "Old Farts " thread. By the way Nasty, In case you don't like the goats milk, you can get a Millers Draft right there across from the stable. Welcome buddy.

Thanks AMB,
PLEASE Excuse any splling errors) Only as I am an Alcoholic, I have keep my distance from any and all booze. While I tried to quit drinking for over 11 years, and trying about every thing I could think of, find. nothing did it UNTIL I went to Shick Shadle Hospital Aversion program. In ten days I no longer drank. In fact My last one was Aug. 23, 1983. An Old Farts Forum? Naw. then we could not educate the young. (who so very very badly need it.) HELLO SusanB-M1, THANKS for the Welcome! I am sorry about stealing your being the oldest one status. I would ask you to Please Forgive only I had no more control over my date of birth than I do looking at women. I do wish the ladies would not get mad at us for doing so as we have no choice as it IS the way we are wired., (Well, at least those of us who were born being Hetrosexuals.) While I can't tap dance I do love to dance and at one times was good enough at it so much younger ladies would ask me to dance with them. (And my being a dirty old man, I loved it.) (( Can you tell why John started calling me "Nasty Neil"? :-) )) As me, being me, may get kicked out of this forum as I have others, I am most happy to receive emails from any who wish to email me, THANK YOU! Please, Take Care!!! "Nasty Neil" |

How annoying, Nasty Neil is already suspended.
Perhaps an age discrimination complaint is in order ... |

Infidels at the gates. To arms!
Hi all. Glad to add another skeptic forum to the collection.
Interests include science, politics, general debunking, and religion. You may guess by the name that I am not a theist. I usually enjoy civil polite conversation. That said ridicule is sometimes the appropriate response to the ridiculous or the dishonest. |

Actually, I know - but it is a fun word - and tasty treat (I am a bit partial to things that taste even better dipped in a bit of mustard!)! For those who don't, a nice recipe and pic: http://www.wikimama.com/recipe/Bitterballen

Note: to be official (by my standards) the beef actually should be veal, I love the leanness of it - was impressed by the job done in the video on fat removal of the beef. I do use a bit more pepper as well as chipotle or habanero sauce in the mustard - but I do that for corned beef and pastrami also.

Good morning NewB's and everyone else .When I got up it was 41* now 8:45 it is 50* they say 70's today and 80's by Thursday. I am going shopping this morning and then Doolin ( My Black Lab ) and I have to take one of our fire trucks to get fuled up. as our Fire dept.meeting was getting over last night,the pagers went off ,it seems this 15-17 year old boy ??? Got mad at his parents and went out side and poured 15 gallons of gas around the house, down the drive way and across the road and then tried to light it. Where he lit it, started that area on fire, but thank god it did not cross the road to the house . After we washed everything down the last thing we did was cover everything with foam . when I was leaving I noticed the young lad sitting in the cruiser in hand cuffs.

I was lucky, it seems I was always bob tailing home when it happened all I did was call the police they would give me a permit for the deer I would dress it out on the side of the road and then tie it across the back take it home and cut it up and put it in the freezer My wife and kids like it and I made a lot of jerky and my daughters would take it back to collage with them to snack on
