The latter just does not have the sexxi_hawt appeal of the former. I know what she <i>thinks</i> she is accomplishing: Standing Up For Jeeeesus.

I have a hunch I know what you're accomplishing in nitpicking SBG's posts to death, but wonder what you <i>think</i> you're accomplishing, and doubt they're the same thing. Caute, SG What’s your point, Victoria?

"What are you doing? <b>You do realize my prof was using metaphoric language.</b> Do you really think he meant to literally take them to hell or literally bring them to the cross?"
