This isn't a term paper or a formal essay at all... Jeesh, some of you guys are so by the book! It's fine that you didn't enjoy it, everyone is allowed to have their opinion.. But telling me "rules" on how to write is just silly..

Ah, so we're welcome to read it but not criticise it?

Post your intent and restrictions next time.

Sigh, criticize it based on itself and not on rules of proper writing since this is not a formal paper..

You are the one that posted here asking for our opinions. Next time just put a poll at the top asking what emotion we felt after reading the paper if that is all you are wanting.

So if there is a God, and I'm not saying there is, he/she should only take adult lives? When exactly would that be then?

I won't pick a fight since you're right, you're allowed have your own opinion... But i'm allowed to have my own opinion about your opinion, right? My only point was to clarify that this was not a formal essay so that's why I was free to use profanity and such... That's all.. No fight dude, you're welcome to share your thoughts..

Man, I give your paper an A++. Great paper! Very well written but more importantly, it sounds like you are doing some thinking. I like that.

If you were my student, I would fail you after reading the first paragraph. Regardless of your views on ANYTHING, if you offend your reader, over something so trivial and unrelated to the topic at hand, you are a failure.

There are papers where there will be differences of opinion, but it's hard to take offense if your reasoning is backed up. Your reason for offending someone gains NOTHING in the paper, and for that, it's pretty stupid to me.

I don't understand how my comment posted twice.

Anyway, I wasn't looking to pick a fight, just really didn't enjoy the paper.

I'm glad that I'm not your student! I prefer professors who help me express myself and not what they define as proper. My professor was an Orthodox Jewish woman who was very conservative but she enjoyed the paper even though she very much disagreed with it... The paper sparked a bit of a debate and, while some people were annoyed by it, the discussion was civil and interesting. She smirked when I read the line in question and didn't suggest that I was less intelligent for it - it's immature.. I admit that.. But what's wrong with being immature every now and then?

That's a part of life. Some people are lucky, some aren't. It happens. I don't see how that paper is offensive.

The thing about catholic priests really pissed some people off as did the thing about corruption in the church...

How can it piss them off when it's true?

That's what pisses them off. When the truth contradicts what someone's faith tells them they get angry because to truly reconcile such differences one must alter their faith to at least some degree......and sheep don't like that.

I think it was nice,

I dont want to comment on the formality and things like that


Wow though, death of a nephew,gosh that is so traumatic


I have 4 nephews myself (i am only 25 ), gosh just reading that sent a shiver down my spine

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I thought it was very good and while you offended some, I think it was great. The clincher at the end was awesome. As for the baby, I'm sorry you lost it.

I'll leave my comments about those who were offended out of this thread because I know I'd be flamed for them

My sister lost two baby boys, back to back I was really depressed during those years... I have an adorable new niece now, though I'll have to dress like Barney at her first birthday party... The things us uncles have to do!

I don't know what everyone else was complaining about... that was a fine paper. That was the best use of the f-bomb in any literary work I've ever enjoyed. I hope you get your A. Be proud, that paper kicks ass :beer:

Well, God does work in mysterious ways you know.
