At Warsaw Technological University (where I study) each course has one humanistic classes and we have philosophy. Tomorrow I have a test and one of the issues are thought of Thomas Aquinas. Should I sue the University of discriminating the Orthodox?
No I think you should find all the orthodox fathers who have blasted Aquinas and write their quotes directly onto your test. Game over. |

You should thank the University for allowing you the opportunity to be exposed to one of the greatest Theologians and Philosophers ever to live.    |

Really. We haven't been back to school yet because of the snow. We were supposed to return on Monday, but we're still out at least tomorrow, and maybe longer if this doesn't clear up. Lows in the negatives Fahrenheit aren't helping anything. |

Of course, this now begs the question: is there a purpose for this thread now? I don't see any "drive for 200k" in the near future... Well, like they say, the journey of a hundred thousand posts... True... Either that, or one can shoot for "longest thread" or some nonesense like that... 4 years ago... And now look where this thread is! |

If it is going to be this incredibly cold in the middle of the desert, it should at least have the courtesy to snow.

We've had snow every day since Dec. 31st.  It's usually only been about 2-3 inches a day, but after a week and a half, that adds up. Well, they're not calling for any more snow on Sunday, so maybe there's hope for the future... |

We have had a grand-total of 7 days of below 30 degree temperatures...all winter. I wake up every morning with head-aches because the sun is STILL shining. I'm in the seventh ring of hell. |

Ahhh... to be without snow And now for something completely different... the parental stuff on Comcast's On Demand thing is messed up. I can choose to watch movies with tons of gore, nudity, etc., without ever entering a code. Yet if I try to watch a TV-14 television show, I first have to enter in a 4 digit code to verify I'm an adult.  |

I'd call Comcast or your TV manufacturer (depending on which is requiring the code). |

Well, I suppose I could take the code thing off. It's not a big issue, just push the number zero four times (I just left the default code in place). I just think it's strange, that I can watch something like Toxic Avenger in the free movies section, which has a lot of violence and a number of scenes with female nudity in it, without entering a code, but then if I want to watch something harmless like Chef Academy, they want a code. *shrugs* |

You should thank the University for allowing you the opportunity to be exposed to one of the greatest Theologians and Philosophers ever to live. ACK I despise Aquinas as a theologian. He was humongously heretical. |

At Warsaw Technological University (where I study) each course has one humanistic classes and we have philosophy. Tomorrow I have a test and one of the issues are thought of Thomas Aquinas. Should I sue the University of discriminating the Orthodox?
You should thank the University for allowing you the opportunity to be exposed to one of the greatest Theologians and Philosophers ever to live. ACK I despise Aquinas as a theologian. He was humongously heretical. That's funny considering the fact that in the past there EO theologians who thought Aquinas was great. |
