I wonder how that god feels about old King James having the original wording changed to "Thou shalt not kill." In the original (Aramaic) texts it is "You shall not murder." That's a big difference. That Shady Valley church is pretty much the same meaning as the original, so I reckon their god is OK with it. What can I say, bro? . . . .

Bugger . . . I should have read the whole thread. Oh well . . . .

You're easily knocked off center. That's one of your charming points.

Thank you Mal & Vibe for your posts. I guess I'll refrain from calling them hypocrites. You have enlightened me.

The Aramaic is well known among most clergy but most keep tight lipped about it.

This thread needs to become relevant to the Appalachian Trail.

I don't see that happening. Now, should it be locked or moved?

Heck, forget the locked room, just MAKE them do an entire thru hike together. In the 4-7 months that they spent together on the trail, one of two things would happen:

1: They would find a way to work out their differences.

OR

2. One of the two leaders would probably have a terrible "accident" while on the trail and "disappear".

Either way--the problem would be solved.

21 February 2009

About 10 years ago, I read a PhD. dissertation by Army psychologist Major Jeffrey Stolrow. The selection and training of special operations soldiers is difficult and expensive. Probably at no time do we have enough special operations forces in uniform, and Dr. Stolrow's study was part of an effort to more efficiently identify recruits with a high probability to complete selection courses. Ideally, 100% of those who pass screening would become special operations soldiers, but the failure rates continue to remain high. I recall Dr. Stolrow explaining over the phone that there seemed to chemical markers in the blood that could indicate higher potential for success during selection, and that these markers were related to stress and the ability to stay calm or quickly bounce back after high-stress situations.

But ultimately it would seem that selection is as much art as science. The Special Forces soldiers I have known tend to be nothing like what is portrayed in the movies. Typically, even other Special Forces, and special operations soldiers, would have difficulty picking their own brethren out of a crowd. They almost never "look the part."

Please see "Ultimate Stress Test: Special Forces Training."

Right.......uhuh............yep..............sure. ..........

I have the answer, just ask me! LW thinks I am weird though, but I know one thing that being weird is part of the answer!

Yeah and that particular hiker that you are referring to has more than paid his way.............

But I am guilty of aiding the needy ones too.............and for that I am proud to be weird!

**Lone Wolf** · 02-22-2009, 07:30

I will not argue with you here, this thread has been a good one and I am not going to ruin it with you on an argument that is not going to go anywhere..........You want to argue, we can hash it out on Rock's place......

**Lone Wolf** · 02-22-2009, 07:39
