Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Maybe this was Wattersonâs true opinion, dispensed in the form of humor, but actually, not everyone has a price. Some have given all, sometimes referred to as the ultimate sacrifice, for their scruples.
@Sharuniboy,The âpain, suffering and deathâ are endured by all the âostensibly evolvingâ creatures before manâs original sin. Surely you must realize that! The fossils reveal it. God wouldnât do it that way!God created a âvery goodâ universe! The quality of life was perfect, and didnât have to become better, as with evolution. Adam and Eve sinned and brought âpain, suffering and deathâ, and increasing entropy (the second law of thermodynamics). God came to earth as Jesus Christ, (both God and man), lived a sinless life and qualified to pay the penalty for manâs sin by his vicarious atonement. He rose from the dead to give us hope for eternal life through repentance and forgiveness of sin. Jesus is our Savior. There is no other hope. All other religions are forms of various evolutionary âtheoriesâ!
What Robert Walpole really said was, âAll those men have their price.â He was referring to a specific group of corrupt individuals, not talking about people in general.
I think Hobbes feels that any amount is too low for some of the deals that people make. Whatâs the going price of integrity today, taking inflation into account?
âŠrogue53, I have always believed that everybody has their âpriceâ â and true, James, that âpriceâ is not always money. The real telling point, of course, is that the vast majority of people have not had to think about what their price is, and are very fortunate to never have been put into a situation where they actually must name their âprice.â
People asked me what I would do if I won the lottery. I tell them Iâd buy a Congressman. The bidding starts at $250,000 and the lowest bid wins. To collect the congressman would have to personally mow my lawn, wash my dog, shine my shoes, clean my bathroom and wipe my ass.
Calvin not to far off ,with inflation thats about 10$,and bribes of that kind can be opened up anytime during its contract.I believe the promise of heaven will make some people do the most horrible things to others ,thats bribery .
@Sharuniboy,I was speaking for the evolutionist about the fossils. My belief is that most of the fossils came from the aftermath of the worldwide flood of Noahâs time. Creation (space, matter, and time) began with Genesis 1:1. There was no pre-history!I agree with Augustine more than with Origen. Augustine believed in the tri-une God. Origen was Arian.Some of your most recent comments sound somewhat orthodox, which is puzzling considering your previous diatribes against God and the âmythologicalâ book (Bible).Overall, your comments are way too long for me in this format.

Will people do almost anything on âThe Price is Rightâ?
Puddleglum2 almost 13 years ago
At least itâs âtwo bucks âcoldâ cashâ or Calvin might be in trouble with the law!
Puddleglum2 almost 13 years ago
@rogue53,In other words, if the scruples are high enough, thereâs no ante that can be raised high enough! âŠamen!

That must explain why we have to see some of the ads shown on GoComics. Every member of the family reads comics. :-(

At current inflation rates, that price is $3 (from this stripâs first printing in 1993).

19 years ago, I think $2 bought a lot more gas than $3 does now.

I have scruples. Two of them. A 2-scruple weight from an old apothecary scale set. One scruple = 20 grains = 1.3 grams.

Reminds me of the fellow who asked a woman if she would have sex with him for a million dollars. After some consideration, she agreed.
He then asked if she would do it for $20. She got all huffy, and responded, âWhat sort of person do you think I am?â
His response, âWe already established what sort of person you are. Now weâre negotiating the price.â
++++
Of course, he also established what sort of person he was, but thatâs not noted in the joke.
Not everyone, and not everything, has itâs price. Certainly not in cash.

I think Calvin is going to be successful when heâs older.
I may be wrong since he doesnât concentrate in class by passing notes.
