Romans 12:18 " If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceable with all men."

Sometimes it just isn't possible.

But is it wrong when you can't? Plus, I serious doubt that applies to cracking someones head.

No, it has nothing to do with what's being discussed here. Righteous anger ("the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up") has nothing to do with our attempts to justify what is considered acceptable in North American culture.

I know, we are like in whole nother subject now, you know:

Well, I've held this in as long as I can and feel I must just blurt it out...I am SO glad I am not numbered with you lowly folk...hallelujah!!

I am perfect...yes, I am...PERFECT!!

Just in case you happen to one of the unenlightened, allow me to express to you that I know I am holier than y'all...whew!! I feel SO much better for getting that off my chest!!

You may find this hard to understand because y'all just don't measure up, but I never make mistakes...ever!!

I am always on top of every situation and can see the devil coming for a country mile!! Furthermore, I never err in judgment or misunderstand or fall into divers temptations because I am holy!! I say this with utmost humility...it is all true!!

My heart goes out to poor Coonskinner who cannot see the error of his ways...poor, poor Coonskinner!!

And I feel for the rest of y'all..I really do, that you somehow just cannot match me in perfection or live up to my high ideals and expectations!!

Alas, you poor souls will just have to survive the best you can...I pray you can glean something beneficial from my influence and presence here, though I sincerely doubt it!!

*sigh* It's hard to be humble, but I'm doing the best that I can!!

And I am sure that it would never have come to that. He just wanted to point out that the guy needed to cooperate with everyone. He had been pushing all the men for weeks and my husband said, "Today is enough."

The man respects my husband highly and so do I. I didn't marry a sissy.

You said "It's preposterous to say that all men just stand around and get whipped on." My response to that statement was "So, where did I say that all men do 'just stand around and get whipped on'? Where did I say that this is what they do?" The only proper response to what I asked you was for you to show me where I said what you seemed to claim I was saying.
