ScarletRose: as usual...it doesnt relate to anything being said...so whats your point? is that directed at anyone in particular? or just your odd humor again?

ScarletRose: "has anyone ever died and witnessed personally God punishing a "______________" (fill in with what ever appropriate label for which you choose; exam. rapist, unibomber, wife beater)."


you might check with that Sodom and Gamorrah bunch.

ScarletRose: whats your point?

Übergeek 바둑이: I agree with the "political correctness" issues being absurd in most cases.
its like these suicide bombers. easy to stop this activity. when someone attaches a bomb to their person...get their dna..trace their family tree...assassinate the entire family. I believe it would slow down that kind of activity immensely. but the liberals,tree huggers,dont step on bugs cause they have feelings too....would never allow it. mean time people keep dying.

Übergeek 바둑이: imo...both are wrong. if two people of the same gender want to be together..oh well...just dont expect me to accept it. if a man or woman cheats on their spouse...dont expect me to agree with that either,and because I live in a free country...I can express my opinion on the matter.
I just saw a commercial on tv saying "dont say "thats gay". they need one that says"if I dont agree with homosexuals....dont call me a "homophobe".
why? 1...I'm not afraid of homosexuals
2...I'm not homosexual
3...I have a right to voice my opinion in an adult matter

Ferris Bueller: "Sexual orientation has no moral connection or equivelency to pedophilia or incest, which are non-consentual violations of children. "
non-consensual is rape. big difference.

Ferris Bueller: imo...lgbt is a morel issue...same as incest and pedophilia.

Use of homophobia, homophobic, and homophobe has been criticized as pejorative against those with differing value positions.

* In 1993, behavioral scientists William O'Donohue and Christine Caselles concluded that the usage of the term "as it is usually used, makes an illegitimately pejorative evaluation of certain open and debatable value positions, much like the former disease construct of homosexuality" itself, arguing that the term may be used as an ad hominem argument against those who advocate values or positions of which the speaker does not approve. The social construct of masculinity is not defined by attraction to females alone but also by negative attraction to males. The implication of a fear of something unmasculine, given the term's scientific etymology, may be used illegitimately to imply that anyone with a different opinion is unmasculine.[21]
* A group of psychologists from the University of Arkansas conducted research that showed that participants' responses were not fear-based but reflected a disapproval of homosexuality that was due to other factors, such as "disgust".[22]
* The National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality, an organization affiliated with the ex-gay movement, describes the term homophobia as being "often used inaccurately to describe any person who objects to homosexual behavior on either moral, psychological or medical grounds." They state that, "Technically, however, the terms actually denotes a person who has a phobia — or irrational fear — of homosexuality. Principled disagreement, therefore, cannot be labeled 'homophobia.'"[23]

because you dont believe in,nor are willing to accept homo's...doesnt automatically make you a "homophobe", and people who live in glass houses,shouldnt throw stones.

GT: the reason is....they only talk...they actually do very little else!

Artful Dodger: lol

Artful Dodger: maybe he meant "root"

SL-Mark:I'm sure his post was meant as sarcasm.

Übergeek 바둑이:
1....." the US does not use its own oil because it does not have enough."
     yes and no. the majority of US consumption is imported,but not all. in the 80's my younger brothers drilled oil wells in Texas and Oklahoma (roughnecks). they'd strike oil...figure out how many barrels a day it would produce...then cap it. 1 in 10 wells were left to pump, and that pumped oil was sent to US refineries.

2....."Here in Alberta, Canada, we produce enough oil to supply about 15% of
American demand. We are the biggest supplier of oil to the US now."
    and when saudi finally taps out..canada finally caps out...brazil..etc. ...the US will still have a capped reserve.

3....." Oil is the biggest business in the world and suppliers (companies,
OPEC, etc.) are constantly trying to manipulate prices to maximize their
profits. Governments are corrupt and they sell their integrity to oil
companies. "

   oil runs this earth.

ScarletRose:ummmm...we do

ScarletRose:I'll bite....theres as many women in politics these days as men...
just so you know,(in case you havent gotton any recent news up in your inexpensive rural area) the United States imports the vast majority of its oil and has done so for over 30 years.  Oil prices skyrocketed with the O.P.E.C. conference.  so other than continually trying to make this some sex(he v/s she) conversation, what is your point?

Übergeek 바둑이:I come from a family of hunters.I was taught responsibility. There are some major nut jobs out there. what you suggest is to disarm the people, so only the nutjobs will have weapons,because where theres a will...theres a way!
last year a teenager accidentally shot another teenager. We also lost 6 more in motor vehicle accidents.
it happens.we still drive.

Artful Dodger: lol...

I cant help but wonder what british history books say about the american revolutionary war

(V): they were here 1st...it was the europeeons that were the enemy

Übergeek 바둑이: thats kinda hard to explain to the victims of 9/11,imo.
its a shame that good people have to be treated like criminals.

Mélusine: so your government pays 75% and you pay 25%,unless you have supplemental insurance?

The Col: lol...unless your on an airbus...you'll be wanting a qualified mechanic!
as far as Palin....over half those she supported were elected(36 out of 52 I think) how'd yomama do?
to me thats a pretty good bite.

Artful Dodger: Free Speech is treasured here.....
as long as it doesnt offend,insult,persecute,and is considered politically correct.

"are welcome"

"all views"

must have been the peanuts

Artful Dodger: I'm guessing he can spell"eathing"!!

Artful Dodger: "Frankly, I find the Bible quite convincing. I think God has adequately revealed himself in his Word, and through His Son. "
there you have it...its YOUR prerogative to believe. not KNOW.

Artful Dodger: people are like sheep...they vote rep or dem..they believe most anything their told in church.
you say you go to church,thats fine, but did you see Christ rise from the dead, or do you blindly just believe?
what do you feel is reason enough to believe anything that is written in either the old or new testament?
did you know any of these people,or do you blindly just believe?

in politics...you are hard on the right, yet most everyone in politics are under the influence of "big business",both on the right and the left...so by choosing a side, you become part of the flock.
yes...people are like sheep.

(V): I liked it better when they just burned bra's!

when clinton was pres...they had bin laden in the crosshairs,but because laden was with arab emissaries,,he didnt order to execute ....should we blame 911 on clinton?

vote green america!

"GERRY": dude...just say "NO"!

blow a 1.5 breathalyzer...mandatory prison time...
no lap dancing....
no alcohol in sex oriented businesses...
abortion now legal if mothers life is at risk
pregnant moms can now use deadly force if baby's at risk of harm..


nothing to help jobs...economy or the environment....but now a pregnant woman can kill someone to protect her child, but cant do a lap dance to feed it!! lol

(V): whats this to do with politics?

Snoopy: to me...this just goes to show that public health care isnt what its all cracked up to be.

you wouldnt protect your children or pets?
are you suddenly vegan?
saying things that arent true, makes it hard to present a viable arguement.
using abortion as a form of birth control, just isnt morally right. using abortion to save a life,ie:the mother will more than likely die from childbirth...now your throwing dice,,, but overall,imo,abortion is in fact murder.

municipalities floride their drinking water, and children raised there have fewer cavities than children raised drinking from wells.

Artful Dodger: how would you like to be a dentist,in Arkansas??? lol
the average person there only has 3 teeth!

(V):the green party would do away with lobbiest...the auto industry's bail out was a farse(as anyone watching the hearings could see,ie:chief executives arriving in plush private jets) without a hand-out...they would all have figured something out. henry ford started in his barn.
how much money in contributions did the big 3 send to the yomama camp? could the democrats ever win without the support of the unions?

unemployment is higher now with yomama, than with bush.....guess the stimulus bill was only meant to help the banks who are foreclosing on loans at record rates.

Artful Dodger: the green party just keeps looking better and better.

Artful Dodger: "It describes Obama perfectly."
it also describes the American liberal.

Artful Dodger: like the stimulus pkg they crammed down our throats.

Artful Dodger: "Well Jules is wrong. " surely you jest! lol
I was able to read the pdf that Ferris provided....but its outdated now, and me and utube just dont get along, so I couldnt read the link jules provided.
I havent read the new bill...I can only go on what my friends are faced with in thier businesses.

Artful Dodger: "Now he signs a bill that will essentially force people into buying insurance."
see...this is how I understood the bill in its current form. but jules claims employers have an option...I'm not sure.
