Note to anyone being interviewed by the Exponent.....
Dropping an F-bomb and then stating that you go to church in the same article kind of kills credibility and makes you look really dumb.....

f-bomb in the paper????
Not only does it discredit who was quoted but why was that part of the quote included in the article??? It makes the exponent look really unprofessional for not censoring it. You won't see that word in the New York Times.

Dropping the f-bomb makes you lose credibility? I'm sure Einstein and Edison probably dropped it once or twice. I doubt that all church goers keep from swearing.

I doubt that as well, however, if I were making it a point to state that I was going to church in a newspaper, why would I drop an F-bomb knowing it could be published? It would make me look rather hypocritical.....

Yeah, because Christians don't ever swear.
As it says in the Bible, "Thou shalt not swear dammit. Seriously, watch your fucking mouth."

Yeah, they aren't 'supposed' to. Just like they're not 'supposed' to have pre-marital sex (Frankly, I'm sick of my tax dollars supporting all these pregnant 'Christian' teenagers whose parents were the ones telling me not to use condoms, just 'don't do it'). RE: swearing, check out "Ephesians 4:29," "Peter 3:10," "James 3:9-12." It's a sin to religious folk who perceive their religion as more than a social thing, which is a rarity these days. |

this reminds of a time when i first came to Purdue. After coming back from a party at 3 am or later on Saturday night this girl said that she needed to sleep ASAP cos she had to get up for church the next day! I found that extremely funny
btw, what credibility? he's just stating a simple fact, not testifying something. another thing, whenever people are quoted in newspapers, they never publish the entire transcript cos they don't have space. For all you know, there was a good 20 minutes of conversation in between the two statements. Last edited by anuttam : 06-20-2007 at 05:16 PM. |

Which version of the Bible are we going to refer to for the debate of these quotes? Quote:

That quote probably would have made a better argument for the thread. "Don't sound stupid when giving an interview to the Exponent." Church-goers can use profanity, depending on their interpretation of their faith. Anyways, I tried to fix this: Quote:
meaning he doesn't want anything built, no matter what it is. that's what i think. |

Thanks for being a champ and clarifying that for me, however, did you miss my subtle humor? I used a double negative.

Whoops sorry. Sarcasm + The Internet don't really go together for me.
Hence my forum title Plus, I read your sentence without the double negative, so I guess I subconsciously fixed the grammar  |

Bianca Klinker is in that Exponent article. She's nice and doesn't curse. She and I went to the same elementary, middle, and high schools. We know a lot of the same friends and both graduated the same year. I think she moved to Lafayette and married Sheila Klinker's son in 2006.
However, I don't know Horace Funkhouser. I don't know if it's normal for him to curse. Quote:

I doubt you would find the "Sex Position of the Week" in the New York Times, either. ...being one of the many reasons I don't read the New York Times...

I don't think that the Exponent is trying to be professional. As said by one of the editors (I think they were talking about the controversy of "The Sex Position of the Week"), it's a newspaper by students, for students, not to impress the NY Times dudes. These are just people that are using their journalism skills (or lack thereof) to bring the campus news to students to read during that boring 8:30 AM lecture. If it's professional news you want, then the New York Times is always available to you.
