^^^ Like I have said in the past, I am not going clam up because of how others may feel about what my beliefs are and I don’t expect other people to be quiet either. I would rather a person be upfront and honest about themselves, wouldn’t you? To me, its better to know about a person early on compared to finding out about them later on and realized that you wasted a lot of time that you can’t get back? God bless you always!!! Holly P.S. If you can not deal with what others have to share about **themselves** like their beliefs for example, don’t go online until you **can**. ---

Here is the deal, people, if you can not take what others have to share about **themselves** like their beliefs for example, don’t go online until you **can**. How is it not evil to cause pain just because you can? You clearly wouldn’t say it at a funeral, why would you say it here then? You KNOW it’s hurtful, otherwise you would say it at a funeral or anywhere else you please. ---

> [@Filbert](#): > > Can I request cake recipes instead though please? Here you go: St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Mint Cake Bottom layer: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup granulated sugar 4 large eggs, beaten 1/4 cup butter, melted 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 (16-ounce) can chocolate syrup Mint layer: 2 cups powdered sugar 1/4 cup butter, melted 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract 2 drops green food coloring Glaze: 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips 3 tablespoons butter Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons water, vanilla, eggs, and chocolate syrup in a medium bowl; stir until smooth. Add flour mixture and salt to chocolate mixture, stirring until blended. Batter will be very thin. Pour batter into a 13 x 9–inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 23 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. To prepare mint layer, combine powdered sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter and stir. Add milk, extract, and food coloring and beat with a mixer until smooth. Spread mint mixture over cooled cake. To prepare the glaze, combine the chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until melted, stirring after 30 seconds. Let stand 2 minutes. Spread chocolate mixture evenly over top. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. ---

1900 posts in one thread wasn’t enough, you need a second thread? This is the opposite of ‘containment’. 10 oz Milk 1.33 packets Rich Chocolate milk mix 2 oz Baileys Irish Cream Heat milk in microwave for 1 minute. Stir in chocolate drink mix. Heat another 1 minute. Pour in Baileys, stir and drink. Repeat as needed. ---

You KNOW it’s hurtful, otherwise you would say it at a funeral or anywhere else you please. Why share it here? Because that is one of the things that a message forum is for, to share things about ourselves with other people and I don’t share what I believe to hurt people. I share what I believe because what a person believes is a part of who they are and **if you can’t deal with seeing people who are not like you online, don’t go online until you can.** God bless you always!!!

Serious question - you have indicated that you wouldn’t - and haven’t - said things like that at a funeral. Why not share what you believe there? ---

^^^ To me, the only person who should be allowed to bring the subject up in the first place is the preacher, but if anyone wants to let it be known that they agree with what the preacher is saying, they have the right to and I would be one of them people. God bless you always!!! Holly P.S. Don’t forget that I earlier said that if anyone were to ask me what I believe about the subject that I **would** tell them what it is that I believe. I would **not** lie to them. ---

Here you go: ``` 3 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough 1 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 cup margarine 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) 1/2 cup raisins ``` Directions ``` Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube/Bundt® pan. Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts and raisins, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along. In a small saucepan, melt the margarine with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Do not cut! The bread just pulls apart. ``` [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/james-otto-asshole/654024.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/james-otto-asshole/654024.md?page=3)
