Originally posted by indespise That, gays wanting to get married, and the fact that less people belive in his God. Whatever happened to blaming marijuana for all of society's ills?

Originally posted by indespise Guitar Schmoe, the one who's adamantly defending the initial post. Really? The initial post is totally nuts. So, we're going to Hell in a hand basket because Congress doesn't want to make flag burning a priority?

Originally posted by guitar shmoe that's a weird thing to say... Well, it's kind of defensive, isn't it?

Originally posted by guitar shmoe Why didn't our founding Fathers choose any of the MANY available eastern religions to build our nation? Are you aware of the 'barbaric' state of China and the orient during those years? Why Christianity? If you want to live an 'anti-Christian' life...be my guest! But, for the sake of public safety, lets have some rules and laws restricting people from harming or injuring others. AND...in that debate of HOW to legislate those laws, I believe it is fair and right to include Christians as well as non Christians. There is a game being played by the liberal God-haters: 'I can teach my wacky left-wing/political correct/socialistic/humanistic/homosexual/relativistic morals and ethics etc....to young impressionable kids. BUT!!! You CANNOT teach anything dealing with your Christianity and Christian worldview (under the guise of a misinterpreted First Amendment "separation church and State" hoax).... A convenient little 'secular scam' to keep the poor Christian man down! I will agree NOT to teach Christianity to young kids that don't want to learn it "IF" Liberals will agree NOT to teach their leftist "religion' to kids in schools and stop trying to legislate Christian opposition to their view as a 'hate crime'...DEAL???? These words sound as if they were espoused by a Christian chauvinist. I'm not sure if it's still there, but at least there used to be this very small Black Baptist church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, quite close to my father's place. They had the typical...whatchermacallit sign outside the door

Originally posted by guitar shmoe yep...I live in the VERY northern part of the state and it is solid trees and lakes...and that is it! About 85 today...a little humid...not bad... I drove up to Madison, Wisconsin about twelve years ago to visit a friend who was completing his PhD in Molecular Biology. He and I tooted around blazing hot Madison for a day or two (we saw Michelle Shocked whacking her wah and yelping about being a pyromaniac at some small college venue), and then we drove up to Lake Superior and sea-kayaked around the Apostle Islands for about a week. That water sure was cold. Lots of mosquitoes too.

Originally posted by guitar shmoe nice avatar!...I was actually in San-ber-Dino last week...a big ugly desert...back in the good ol' N-woods now! Sounds as if it might be a bit cooler in Wisconsin. Maybe not.

Originally posted by guitar shmoe metaphorically...hey L-Head wassup? Not much.

Originally posted by guitar shmoe like trying to pin jello to the wall... That's what you're trying to do. Why do you need something pinned to the wall?

Originally posted by bowmag701 To Loghead, a few posts back i used the word dumbass i was not referring to your comment but to the orginal thread starter. Sorry for any confusion. I shall now continue my vomiting ritual I don't even know that I noticed. I shall have to scroll back and see. Vomiting is good. It whitens one's teeth.

Originally posted by redrol OK, I think this place has become full of retards. If you read the first post it was basically a troll but a horrible one full of hate and bigotry. If I was a mod I would have deleted the thread point blank. Just leaving the thing here says enough. Though this is all my opinion, there are a bunch of folks tired of the {censored}. Funny....I thought a bunch of whiners pretended to go over to the Rawhide Rig Bar and Gay Pickup Place because they thought the Amp Forum had become intolerant of opinions and off-topic stuff.

Originally posted by redrol http://www.rig-talk.com Me no understand thees logic.

Originally posted by redrol this thread is a good example of why many people are leaving hcaf Why is that?

Originally posted by aliensex Ah, but do you not detect the funk of an incorrigible postmodernist in these words I vomit? I have dedicated my life to getting postmodernist people drunk.

Originally posted by bowmag701 Have you ever heard of the constitution,dumb ass Are you a mallard or a Mullard?

Originally posted by Lgehrig4 Funny you should say that. That has been my experience as well. My wife has a gay cousin and he doesn't seem to care about anyone but himself. On holidays he just locks himself in a room, comes out to eat and then leaves. He doesn't pay his young nephews any mind and is only interested in getting out to his "clubs". Were not talking about a teenager either. He's in his mid 30's. Not just him, but I've also witnessed this behavior to an extent with other homosexuals that I've encountered. They just didn't have the qualities that you would respect in a man. Seemed more like teenage girls just looking to have fun. Not trying to insult, just an observation. Well, I don't see a correlation between the behavior you describe and sexuality. The only connection I could imagine is one in which gays feel alienated from those around them.

Originally posted by aliensex And a general point: In discussions about behavior, it's important to remember that genes mostly predispose us to "learn" (i.e. develop synapses in our brain) in certain ways instead of prescribing our actions outright, and also that not everything we "learn" is conscious or something we can choose to do anything about at all. An excellent point! Bravo! Now, add Althusserian structuralism to the ingredients and mix.

Originally posted by guitar shmoe I think this statement demonstrates part of the communication problem. People generally view 'religion' as being only 'faith' based and therefore separate and invalid from commentary dealing with social issues. The frustration on the part of the Christian or person of faith is scaling this communication barrier to demonstrate that his/her opinion although biblically based is VERY relevant to solving the social issues facing society. The non-Christian or person without faith believes that ANYTHING biblical isn't valid in secular society and should remain ONLY within the walls of a church. Possible solution: 1) We all have preconceptions and worldviews (faith or non faith) and ideas about solving social issues. A biblical view should not be dismissed just because it's from the bible and a non-biblical view should not be dismissed just because it isn't in the bible....simple. 2) We aren't gonna agree on everything. 3) That's OK 'IF' we are seeking the common good for all, and our purpose is peace. It thinks!!! Oh my God! I never would have suspected.

Originally posted by potaetoes not too far off - but mass production/mass consumerism began before WWII with Ford's production models and Keynes's welfare state and mass consumerism ideas, commonly referred to as the "Fordist/Keynesian Paradigm" the bretton woods agreements after WWII established the western economic stranglehold on most of the world. the war certainly played a role, but in itself wasn't responsible for things being how they are. it essentially created the opportunity to implement the ideas that were already around. they would have been implemented some other way, in some other fashion, eventually. Someone went to school.

Is this a political or a religious thread?

Originally posted by potaetoes well, sometimes you don't want too much spice in your bread and butter. Are you spinning words for a living these days?

Originally posted by potaetoes i need to get rid of my bad habits of oversubordination and excessive comma use. Not at all. Sentence variety is the spice of life.
