    That's a fascinating research question, CP. Try looking it up yourself, and get back to me when you obtain the results.

And minimum wage is a joke, who's gonna do anything on minimum wage? This is the future the pancreasmans of the world offer to future generations: work to the bone at minimum wage. If you work at all.
      Ah, black or white thinking.

      If your minimum wage is a joke, you should raise it.

      Check 'em out. You suffer from all of them.

      As an example you posted cauterisation as in some way demonstrating that soothing words cannot be healing. To be sure, sometimes hard actions are required, but then again, so are salves. Remember the balm of Gilead? You want to settle for one course of medicine every time. A good doctor uses both at appropriate times.

        On its own the only thing it'll do is encourage more under the table work.

        No moron, I posted it as a demonstration of the opposite: that harsh words can be healing. Idiot. Why am I even talking to you? I don't remember a single intelligent post of yours. They're all some variation of crybaby whining and rank hypocrisy. Even CP has the occasional useful contribution.

          Aw, he likes you more CP. You know what I like? Getting under his skin.

            Judging by your constant passive-aggressive whining I'd say it's more the other way around.

              Is anybody slightly to the left of Genghis Kahn passive aggressive in your eyes?

                It has nothing to do with how left you are. I debate with individuals far to the left of you often but most of them are quite openly aggressive. It's usually moderately left/right individuals who are passive aggressive.

                  Remember the list of psychological delusions? See overgeneralisations. If I annoy you, stop posting to me.

                  But let's talk about actual content. You said harsh words can be healing. Sometimes they can be, I agree. But if you ONLY use harsh words aren't you not using the full gamut of Christ-likeness. Think of the woman at the well. Jesus didn't bully her or condemn her. He was subtle ... and, dare I say it, rather nice. You seem unable to say that calm, soothing words may be necessary sometimes.

                    Pattern recognition is not a mental illness. It's an integral part of being human. Not that I'm implying liberals are human or anything.

                    I don't only use harsh words. But this is a debate forum. So why be surprised that I sound like Jesus when He debated pharisees?

                    Yes, Jesus nicely insinuated she was a slut.

                      This is more than a debate forum. And debate doesn't necessarily mean harsh words need to be used unless you actually believe calling someone a moron is an argument. And Jesus spoke harshly only to members of His own faith.

                        I don't always use harsh words. I didn't on CP, but CP (and you) think that merely telling you you're wrong and explaining why constitutes "harsh words".

                        And Jesus spoke harshly only to members of His own faith.
                        1. Not true.
                        2. The Pharisees were Christian?
                        3. God frequently ordered slaughtered those of other faiths who got in His people's way. How far do you wanna stretch this?

                        The modern equivalent of pharisees and saducees are liberals and conservatives anyway, so this discussion is academic.

                            Wow, REALLY?!?!?! I didn't know that!

                            I'll happily heal anyone who asks though, as soon as I get my superpowers.
                            Is it just as impossible for you to encourage, or experience joy, or be uplifting as it is for you to heal?

                              I'll say no, and ask you to prove me wrong. All you have to do is show me ONE thread you started of a positive nature, or a post where you're actually encouraging or uplifting somebody, or praising God for something He has done in your life.
