    I believe -- and mind you, far too much of my knowledge comes from reading lots of Thor comicbooks -- that the term 'Viking' is actually a verb. As in, to raid the coast of Scotland is to Vike. And if you are raiding, then you are a-Viking.

    I used to wonder why people would refer to the "Norse Vikings." I assumed that all Vikings were Norse, so wouldn't that be redundant? But as it turns out, "Norse" and "Vikings" are not interchangeable terms as I assumed.

    And no, I don't want to be run by a Mormon ... I don't really intend to be run by anybody.

    I have trained my snake to talk.

    It can now say "Eve was a great lay".

    The term Viking was used to describe the raiders from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. I'm not sure what the raiders from Polynesia called themselves.

    Of course Vikings left descendents. That doesn't automatically make those descendents Vikings. Using the term Viking isn't like using the term German or Scandinavian. Calling Viking descendents Vikings themselves would be like calling all of the descendents of a farmer, farmers.

    Yes, they are family-oriented, but only among themselves. If someone marries a Mormon, that person's parents/family can't witness the wedding b/c they aren't Mormon - instead they have to sit in an empty room while the wedding ceremony is going on. That happened to some friends of mine - 2X's, in fact, b/c their 2 daughters married Mormons........

    But yes, the ones I've known are very nice people. While working at the Red Cross, the Mormon church called me and asked me if I'd have a bone marrow drive for one of their members - a young mother w/leukemia, which I did. Afterwards, a couple women came back, wanting to be volunteers - very good workers........

    Have you ever heard of The Book of Mormon? That's what the Mormons follow 'literally' - not The Holy Bible.........

    All people of faith could be considered quacks. They all believe in the super-natural in one form or another.

    I agree with an earlier poster, Mormons are some the nicest, most honest people around, with exceptions of course.

    Mormons do their mission at a young age, but after that , they dont try to force there religion on you like the Jehovah Witnesses do.

    Anyway, whats the big deal? Every president alive since I can remember has confessed their faith in a God and I cant think of any president that has ever tried to mix religion with politics. Dont expect that to change either.

    Rommney is more likely to go to war because he's another neocon than his Mormon faith.

    Do you really want to be run by a Morman?

    Well, we are currently run by a Moron, how could a Morman be any worse?

    Huntsman and Romney would both be an real improvement over this guy!

    Obama schmoozes with very wealthy potential donors. This event took place at a $35,800-a-plate dinner with Wall Street executives in a posh Manhattan restaurant. Could this seriously undercut the image he has tried so carefully to craft? Here is the greatest authoritarian and one of the phoniest and most insincere presidents we have ever had!

    Oh yes they do..... they are door-to-door salesmen. I appreciate that they're not pushy when I say "Thanks, but no thanks" and they leave.......

    Did you know that Africans practiced NON Christian morality ?
    That VOODO like youdo..on this thread is just crapola.

    A BUSINESSMAN like ROMNEY would open our own drilling and refinery capabilities..create wealth here at home..
    He wouldn't consult with the UNIONS about stopping plants from being built in Right To Work states.
    The Obama wears no under wear..he believes his poo doesn't stink or leave a environmental contamination..but it might create jobs for others to clean up and fix.

    He is certainly correct in that regard.

    Again... it is a false politeness. They are very deceptive. The mission is to demonstrate how wonderful and polite and kind they all are with such well adjusted lives... it is the core of their attempt to appeal.

    Pretend to be perfect. Polite racists. Kind bigots. When they show up on their bicycles they don't really go over any of the wacky crap in the book of mormon, and will deflect questions about that stuff... if not outright lie.

    They are a cult.

    And you would know exactly how? To their core, they are a good people in general, yes there are some "bad" but there are everywhere. Sounds to me you lack some real conversations, and friendship with those who are LDS.

    Really you can't be serious.
    Most people who are racists are polite when in just general conversation. I have asked questions and had direct answers, not deflection at all. They are very family centered, believe in helping their own, believe in education, much like myself, how can it be all bad? It really isn't, just different.

    Much like the Masons, and other groups like that. There does seem to be some secret and maybe most of them don't know it.

    American need to be dictated to, they have no ability to evaluate any propaganda and will jump on the best posturing bandwagon. We need freedom from religion like Arabs need religious dictators.

    Funny how Mormons do more to help out people across the globe, compared to leftist religion haters who hardly lift a finger to help people at all. But let's demonize Mormons anyway.:rolleyes:

    If the alternative is Obama, yeah, I think I'd like to try a Mormon for a while.

    Yeah, because it isnt like Obama would ever start a war, right?
