...love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ... Treat others the same way
you want them to treat you. ... But, love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for He, Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. Be merciful just as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:27-36 NAS |

COMRADE DRAGON -
I am laughing --- all the way to the Bank --- to use an ATM card at 1% service charge because I did not purchase it in the province of use.
Regards,
COMRADE MW |

Love Note to Comrade Dragon?
Doesn't this title have alternative implications? It's kind of hilarious considering that folks here are English teachers. |

| I suppose it could be, considering that the Chinese word for comrade 'tongzhi' now is widely considered a slang word for homosexual. |

Seth, be careful! MW will sue you for implying that he isn't heterosexual.  |

Billy & Seth -
Did either of you check with Merriam Webster ( a heterosexual) before making your posts. Guess neither of you know your Bible either or you would know what it says about homosexuals. |

Hmmm ...
Main Entry: 1het�ero�sex�u�al
Pronunciation: "he-t&-rO-'sek-sh(&-)w&l, -'sek-sh&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary
Date: 1892
1 a : of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward the opposite sex.
Perhaps Seth is more clued in than I, but I, for one, don't see what relevance your question has to the issue. If you are trying to make a point, spit it out.
Or are you trying to say that both you and Dragon are not males?

I'm an Atheist. But please enlighten us most Religious One about what the Bible does say about homosexuals. |

Let me break it down:
Merrium Webster sounds like a woman but in fact is a corporation, a sexual, probably. It was a play on words, a joke.
The Bible condemns homosexuality so why would a homosexual, (inuendo) quote the Bible?
I guess I must refrain from intellectual jokes in this forum. |

Dear Comrade MW,
Yes, they do not understand your high and intelligent humor. Keep bashing at them. Thye will be defeated then you can rule this board with impunity. Please tell me where you teach so as I may try and find a position next to you so that I may learn this facilitation method that you have been teaching since 1978. Your servant Dragon
May you live 10,000 years. |

What is "a sexual"? In any event, it was such a poor play on words that it wouldn't even qualify as Chinglish.

Yes, at least until you obtain some intellect. |

There are Christians every day who say one thing, but do another. As well, there are Atheists every day who do likewise.
Whether or not you believe in the Bible is your own personal problem. I am not your priest or rabbi. As such, I care not about your personal problems.
Strictly going from the topic's name (which you wrote yourself), you strongly imply, at best, homosexuality. A native English speaker could see it no other way.
This said, I am not implying homosexuality is bad, abnormal or whatever negative implication you may imagine that I am thinking. |
