soulshine 0 #1 August 30, 2005 I just left SC and I feel like I need to shower off the funk. I go in there less than once a month just to remind myself why I don't like to go in there! It's brutal out there guys. I wish I could just march through that forum and throw daisies in the air while holding a peace sign with the other hand, spreading happiness and goodwill. Actually, I don't give a rat's ass, I'm just bored. Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity! ~DEVIOUS BEEF~~FGF #69~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #2 August 30, 2005 I only go there when I've read every post on every other forum that's in a language I can comprehend... twice. And I run screaming, too! I feel your pain, sister."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J.

soulshine 0 #5 August 31, 2005 I posted in there today in a thread about the Sex Gods. I thought it was amusing, otherwise I avoid that place like the plague. Do ya smell that... *sniff* ...I smell daisies. Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity! ~DEVIOUS BEEF~~FGF #69~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #6 August 31, 2005 I think of SC as mostly for the guys who are so self absorbed that they hardly ever get laid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #8 August 31, 2005 Gee I didnt know you were a regular there. but then again I hardly ever go in there. ALTHOUGH I should just to annoy a couple of the Ultra Right Hand Boys a bit more. You just gotta wonder what skeletons are in their closts to make them so repressive of everyone else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure what/who you mean by Ultra Right. There are plenty of hard-core gun rights people (I'm one of them). Loads of religious people, although none seem to have any desire to push their beliefs on others. Haven't seen a good abortion debate in a while, so I don't know about that. Plenty of pro- and anti-Bush people. Plenty of pro- and anti-war people. My personal favorite topic to post about in SC is Muslims. Not that I have anything in particular against Muslims, but it's a great way to add fuel to the fire over there. The beautiful thing about the word "Muslim" is that it seems to have become the equivalent of the word "Negro"--really not a derogatory term in itself, but it seems to put people on "racist alert" status.

Amazon 7 #10 August 31, 2005 QuoteI'm not sure what/who you mean by Ultra Right. Ultra Right Hand..... Let see.. gun rights as in I WANT THE RIGHT to blow any asshole away at any time I see fit.. especially if he is in my yard or on my front porch... hell I dont know what the hell he might do Hell are all these people so freakin afraid of others they have to carry a gun.. just in case??....I also want my own gawd dayum automatic weapon.. oh.. and I really need a hummer with a 50 cal on it too.. just for those special times in traffic when you just HAVE to get back at the guy who cut you off. What the hell...... I am a firm believer in something Lazurus Long said in a Heinlein book... "an armed society is a polite society" EVERYONE should have to carry at all times... just so you are SURE that the person you just tried to run over with your car.. can and WILL be armed and may just decide to take a shot at you.... then it comes down to proficiency and control.... who is the better shot. Which seems to go hand in hand with the really religious people who... hmmmm cant seem to follow what the good lord taught when he walked among us. He came here to teach people how they could live with each other while we are here on this planet. I think the addage of "Judge not lest ye be judged" comes to mind as well as "Vengenace is mine sayeth the Lord" Yet the Ultra Right seems to want to usurp that at every turn with their treatment of other human beings they are SUPPOSED to be forgiving.. where is all that christian turn the other cheek and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.... NOT do unto others what you FEAR they might do to you. Then there are the people who INTERPRET what god meant by THOU SHALT NOT KILL.... I think that one was self explanatory.. not Thou shalt not murder... nice way to TRY and justify a GOOD killing. I guess we will REALLLLLY see when the time comes. I think some people will be in for VERY rude surprises. AS far as Pro and Anti Bush.. Pro and Anti WAr.... and Muslims.... The stage has been set for exactly what the religious wrong wants to accomplish, ( even with all of thier protestations of being persecuted) all out war.. their own vision of rapture.. so they can miss the Apocalypse in Revelations . There is no turning back .. like it says in the book.. you reap what you sow. Moving to SC in 3.....2.......1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #13 September 1, 2005 QuoteI just left SC and I feel like I need to shower off the funk. I go in there less than once a month just to remind myself why I don't like to go in there! Y'know, it's even worse when you get dragged in there against your will I've never made an intentional post in SC. You know when you post in something in Bonfire and then it gets moved to SC and all of a sudden, there you are? Okay, fine, I should have known that posting about gas prices today would probably get moved. And most of my other "Speakers Corner" posts are me commenting "this post will probably get moved to Speakers Corner." But it's interesting when there's a post that you don't even suspect could end up SC-worthy, and yet, there it is, all controverisal, a post on home ownership?
