Actually, when it comes to your posts, I usually get the idea by reading only the first and last sentences as well. Clown

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

Where? I didn't see it. A co-worker e-mailed this to me. I thought it was pretty cool.

When I was a kid, me and my friend who lived across the street invented a code. We made up whole new letters though, so we still spelled everything the same. We just used different letter symbols. For instance this symbol "#" was an "L" and and the "flat" symbol used on sheet music to denote a flat notekey, we used for an "F." The other letters were stuff that we made up ourselves though, that I obviously can't type out here. There are no keys for them.....Plus if I revealed our secret code to you I'd also have to kill you. Cool

Oh grass-hopper that thinks it is a tigress, beware or else you will get smushed.

I have made up more codes than you can count... by squares(without using a calculator)...

Maybe, but my code's more creative. Evil Tongue

Plus I made it with another person. She made up the first half of the alphabet and I made up the second half. Actually, I had a lot of influence over her part of it, too. We even had symbols for puctuation. So beat that! Angry

I believe this can be explained by how our brain interprets what we see and whether it is predominately of the "left" (logical) side or the "right" (artistic).

Most people for example can recognize the following:

http://www.somewebsite.com

much easier than an obscure:

http://ods.xvdksfiw.slw

or even

http://236.104.7.46

Why? Because one side of our brain fills in the gaps. It's also why learning a foreign language is so hard at first. Because often, those little gaps which natives have learned to ignore (like not knowing a word but getting the jist of it in context) bother foreigners.

It's probably also why so many people have difficulty at first with drawing. Their "left" side tells them not to pay attention to the details because they know what they are drawing anyway (try draw something upsidedown which you don't immediately recognize and odds are you'll do a better job than drawing it right side up and recognizing it). (Source: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain).

However, I bet if you gave a student of English a dyslexic sentence like those listed, he/she would indeed have a VERY difficult time with it not even knowing if the word before them was correct or not.

Yeah, the whole left-brain right-brain thing is what I'm always trying to explain to people! That's why I could never learn French or any language, because I'm so right-brained. (By the way, the links you posted wouldn't open. There was an HTP Error.)

You are sooooooo like a Vulcan! Disapprove

I had a crush on a boy for about three years when I was in grade school. Two other girls and I used to play Star Wars, Smurfs and Wonder Woman with him and two other boys at recess and lunchtime. I usually got to be Princess Leia, Smurfette and Wonder Woman, and he usually got to be the main male love interest. He didn't like me that way, though. For the most part, I kept it a secret from him. I was too afraid he'd reject me. Sad

Actually, I shouldn't say that. I probably spend closer to two hours each day when it's not busy here at work.

Hey, I thought it was a legitimate question. Being that I've never had sex before, I'm kinda concerned about it.

I really don't know, but your disinclination to making face-to-face friendships with guys isn't going to help your case...

Hey, I didn't say I liked that rule or anything. I just think it's probably what God wants all of us to do. Like I said before, I tend to get along with guys better than I do with girls because guys are generally more laid back (with the exception of you Evil

), they have a better sense of humor, they don't try to boss me around, and they usually are less hurtful towards you if they're upset with you.

Girls tend to be more emotionally viscious if they're mad at you, they gossip more, and a lot of them would always try to "put me in my place" so to speak, if they think I'm being out of line with someone else, when in actuality I just communicate differently than most people do. I mean some girls would literally rebuke me in front of a whole group of people and humiliate me. No guy has ever hurt me like that. If anyone has a problem with something I say, they should come to me in private, after the fact. So, I don't appreciate people essentially telling me to shut up or be more tactful while other people are there listening, when I thought I already was being that way. It's usually just miscommunication I think, but guys always seem to take it in stride while girls always take it upon themselves to butt in and tell me what to do or not do. In essence, they can be real b-----s. It's really irritating, hurtful and rude.

Hopefully I'm wrong about my thinking that single guys and girls should never get too close to each other, but all I know is that I'd be really hurt and uncomfortable if my husband was really close to other women before I married him. But, I also have a lot of jealousy issues, too. So, maybe that's where I'm being too extreme to compensate for my own insecurities.
