but I never kid myself that a theoretical viewpoint is one that has any practical value. They'd work if everyone worked together, and pitched in. Alas, and I'm openly admitting this, that doesn't seem to be everyone's priority at the moment, so it probably won't happen. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF
Many of your viewpoints are theoretical that you think somehow could apply in the real world. Perhaps, but that doesn't mean I can't feel the way I do. I strive for the better side of humanity, care/compassion/peace,etc... Not the total BS, blood and gore,etc.. Like i've said before, i want: Peace, Prosperity, Humanity, etc...and if tha
How many Christian theocratic nations are there? Do you even know what the goal of radical Islam is? The Vatican, being one. Norway, and England also come to mind. Yes, i realize they are not what you expected, but...they *are* theocratic, by definition, and <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="m
What you don't seem to get is that not all viewpoints are equal. How so?
You say that you're not like that then indeed state that you are like that by indicating that the person who did the lynching had the right to do it. No, he did NOT have the right to lynch someone. We do not have the right to do violence to anyone over a belief or opinion or what have you. We DO have the right to do what we want, but we also
Did you forget Soddom and Gomora? Just and fyi lucas.....they were filled with unbelievers and sodomites. Have you thought about: "Reinterpretation" of the bible? Religious symbolism? Fact versus Fiction?
How is keeping them locked up, with lock and key, and then with a gun-lock, not safe? First, I didn't say it wasn't safe...I said 'sometimes' it isn't the safest. In that case, they just got through it all...
In the Jim Crow days, you would probably have been one of those people defending lynchings. "Well, he was lookin at that white girl with his EYES! I don't condone what they did but he shoudln't have been looking at no white girl!" It's exactly the same mentality. Murderious violence justified by one party in retaliation for a non-violent "insult" that is often so obscur
We are in a war. We have been in a war for over 2 decades now. The muslims know it...when are we going to step up to the plate and deal with it? You, and those who believe the way you do may be at war, but I'm not. I'm still going to go for peace, etc... <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Q
I see it as an ideology. Tell me, why do you see it as an ideology? Do you see other "so called religions," as merely ideologies? If not, then why not, what sets them apart/makes them different?
Then why bother? Someone took the time to write out a thought out article, albeit one I don't agree with. Others took the time to comment and all you have to offer is sarcasm. Why bother? Well, it's backed up sarcasm/humor. I mean, like what's being said. You've got prayers that raise saints and such to "god like" status. You glorify them, like a
Oh please, just another moment for him to get the spot light on him. I'm so tired of them! It's terrible that this is going to be turned into another one of these incidents that gets dragged out to til the end of time. What does he have to do with the apology anyway, nothing! Who cares if he won't accept it! Yep, this is like the Mel Gibson debac
Now that's what I call the pot calling the kettle black! :~D If ya referring to me, then to ya.
" The continued fearmongering (Terrorist Muslims are going to take over the world and mass convert you all!) " While the Koran may proclaim that they should do such, and I admit there are some out there that are very fanatical, and would gladly blow us up, etc......I feel most muslims, the moderate ones, and even some hard core ones...just want to live life. They just want to live, that's all. I mean, it's the same with the Mu
The new material is150 Dead and 250 injured on a single day in Iraq. This would not have happened if Bush had not invaded Iraq! What about those who died under saddam? Starvation, murder, torture?
Brad, why even bother? These discussions always go to the point where America is the actual terrorists, and that the poor, downtrodden Muslims wouldn't bother anyone if the big bad America would just leave them alone.... Personally, it makes me sick to my stomach. The so-called "liberals" rally around the same flag of those that would strip them of every one of thei
Best thing to do with your guns is keep em locked up Sad thing is, that's not always the safest. I remember when I was a freshman in highschool, we had a couple guys on the football team die because the messed around with one. <TD cla
2 pounds is still twice as big as the preemies we have been discussing. That may be so, but still...if you knew the entire background on my birth, you might think different. But im not going to go into that. ~L
Oh hell no. Listen to this: NEW YORK (CNN) -- The Rev. Al Sharpton said Wednesday he refused to accept an apology from actor Michael Richards, who spouted a racist rant at a comedy club last week. Article Heh, looks like it'll be a
m going to offer comment in the same vein as your silly retort. Retort? It was humor, sarcasm. Putz! <
The purpose of the government is to protect its citizens not be nice to strangers. That's just one part of it's role, it's other role is to handle foregin matters, and portray a good image of our nation. i.e. Evil versus Good, Warm versus Cold.
Dr Guy's right. The prayers used to pray to Mary and the saints ask for intercession. Catholics don't treat them as gods. If you want to get into semantics....
Well there you go. There is a lot of baggage and some people haven't found anywhere to dump them! So.... Like my mother. Anywho...I've let go, i'm nice to people no matter what. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-
Erm, Hell no. I was born very premature, roughly 2 pounds, and at the far end of the premature line. I survived, why not give them a chance to live. ~L
Shovel is a jail administrator. Oh, well that explains it. Gotta say Shovel, that's one heck of a job. ~L
