mr2mk1g 10 #76 December 20, 2005 "Should all professional writers change their sig lines to..." "And all computer professionals should change theirs to..." Maybe some on here should change their sigs to "even though I'm a Catholic, I don't bum choir boys". It's disheartening to see the arguments I've seen here.

miked10270 0 #78 December 20, 2005 I still can't wait to see the Pitcairn Islanders' sig lines... Maybe they'd fit in better. Viz: "Just Because I Rape Kiddies It Doesn't Mean I'm An Arse-Bandit!" It is a fact that (outwith the world of smutty jokes about sweeties, School Janitors & Boiler-rooms) "Paedophilia"; Predatory Sexual Behaviour toward Children" is predominantly, almost exclusively a HETEROSEXUAL behaviour! However, sexuality is irrelevant to such behaviour, since it's not about sex, it's about power! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

rwieder 0 #79 December 20, 2005 QuoteWhat I don't remember is asking you for your opinion on my emotional life. I don't have the professional skills to help you even if i knew what your emotional state consisted of. I'm merely making an observation based on the tone, and subject of your posts. QuoteReally, man. That's just uncalled for. I beg to differ sir. If someone doesn't bring it to your attention, you may never seek help. How long before we have to add a forum to accomadate a host of different sexaualities? Much the same as has happened with the laungauge?

rwieder 0 #80 December 20, 2005 QuoteFirst of all, you are arguing the man not the issue. Argue the issue. The man is who presented the issue. I have said in the past IMO this man is angry. So to argue the issue, i must first "reach" the man. Quote Second of all, you're a suicidal nut case. You jump out of airplanes so you must have a death wish. You are irresponsible, without a care for your family, because you endanger their welfare and your community because you attempt to recruit others to this frivolous and dangerous activity. You need to come to grips with what is obviously a deranged mental state before you hurt someone. I'm sure that once you do, you'll be a very likable person with lots to offer. All very true. I am a selfish, self centered person. I need to deal with that myself. QuoteThird, I used to like you. You still do! You know you do. I know your not the type of person to disslike someone for expressing their views, much the same way i'm not. You may not like their views, but you tolerate them, based on my experience from reading your posts.-Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RhondaLea 4 #81 December 20, 2005 QuoteQuoteThird, I used to like you. You still do! You know you do. I know your not the type of person to disslike someone for expressing their views, much the same way i'm not. You may not like their views, but you tolerate them, based on my experience from reading your posts. The issue here is not one of expressing one's views; it is the fact that you're not expressing your views about an issue but about a person. I have already discussed one thing that sends me into orbit. This is the other one. There are specific times when I argue "the man" instead of "the issue"--when I have seen "the man" do it first to someone else or when s/he does it to me. That still doesn't make it right--it's a fallacy with a Latin name of its very own--and I have taken my well-deserved beating for it every time. Just be aware that I agree with Narcimund unequivocally in everything he has written here (except our minor disagreement about ignorance), and that I only dream of expressing myself as well as he does. The point is that in making these assertions about him, you're as good as making them about me too. How much would you like me if I'd said those things about you? rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

I was going to say that language forums are a different issue based on useability and comprehension, but then again you certainly don't seem capable of understanding whats going on here so you may be on to something.

Steel 0 #83 December 20, 2005 QuoteQuoteQuoteHow strange would it be to hear a MLK speech and hear: Free at last, free at last - oh yeah, black people aren't child molestors. If blacks were wrongly associated by the public with child molestors, then it certainly would be in their best interest to do so. But they are not, so it is not relevant. But black people ARE wrongly associated by the public with crime and drugs. So should all black skydivers change their sig line to "Even though I'm black I don't steal or deal cocaine"? No, Cocaine is a "white / caucasion", high class, looser drug and crime is to vague, it can include tax evasion or even heroin another "white" drug. For a valid statement, you could have said the following: Black people are often associated with theft and crack. So should they therefore change their sig line to read, "Inspite of being black I do not steal or smoke crack". Otherwise you're just spinning. Now carry on and continue to amuse me with the arguements. .If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound.

tigra 0 #87 December 20, 2005 QuoteQuoteNo, I asked for the militant homosexual agenda. You pointed to the militant pedophilia agenda to imply they're the same thing and thus that homosexuals are pedophiles. Remember me telling you that you are an angry person? Well until you come to grips with this i really don't think you'll get past it trying to force your agenda on others. Remember the meds, and counseling i advised you to get? QuoteMostly what you've said in these gay threads has just been flawed by all the logical fallacies but this is the one thing you've said thats truly evil. Now you've added evil to anger, it really makes the issue far more complex than it originally was. That man said nothing that was evil in my opinion. C'mon, lighten up. When you go off on these tirades, it makes you look as if your the one who has the ass for "breeders? I'm quite sure your a very intelligent person with lots to offer. I also believe your a very likeable person, but your pent up frustration is getting in your way. No one is bashing you, no one hates you, and i haven't noticed any militants in the area. Wow- its been said already, and better, but that's just totally out there and uncalled for. Talk about passive hostility! but he's the one with issues? Maybe you ought to be taking your own advice. Associating all homosexuals with child molesters IS evil, how could it not be? By "Lighten Up" do you really mean "roll over and take it"?? I think he's stating his point really clearly and logically, and he doesn't need my help but your post, all of it, was just plain wrong. Far worse than blatant bigotry, IMO.

narcimund 0 #88 December 20, 2005 QuoteI'm merely making an observation based on the tone, and subject of your posts. That's oh so untrue. My posts in this and every associated recent thread have been entirely dispassionate. You're confusing my thoughtfulness, patience, and deep concern for anger. I can understand why you do that however. It's human nature to misidentify the unfamiliar in terms of other things that are more familiar. But be that as it may, I will one last time remind you that your comments about my personality are unwelcome. They do your already weak position a disservice.

AlexCrowley 0 #89 December 20, 2005 what strikes me as truly odd is that you can say: Gay men and child molesters have a lot in common. but "homophobes and ignorant fucktards have a lot in common" has people thinking it might be a personal attack - which it only would be if you can accept that calling gay men child molesters in an oblique fashion is.

tigra 0 #90 December 20, 2005 Yes, its an interesting "quirk" in this forum. As I recall, I used the term "homophobic" once in this forum, in a very general way not directed at any one person and I was still accused of making a personal attack. The way I understand the forum rules, it is OK to make blatantly bigoted statements about a GROUP of people, but if you call the individual who made those statements a bigot, that's a personal attack.

AlexCrowley 0 #91 December 20, 2005 so... Homophobes are drooling fucktards. is ok. But Markharju and sundevil777 are evil shitheads isnt? Thats strange, and vaguely illogical. I'll stick with Homophobic skydivers who post on skydiving community sites are evil drooling shithead fucktards. That's ok isnt it? or is the general size of the group you're being prejudiced against taken into account? TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Guest #92 December 20, 2005 Quoteso... Homophobes are drooling fucktards. is ok. But Markharju and sundevil777 are evil shitheads isnt? Thats strange, and vaguely illogical.

That's ok isnt it? or is the general size of the group you're being prejudiced against taken into account? Your use of colorful language and corresponding lack of logic speak for themselves. Edit to add: Case in point -- There was an unfounded conclusion, if you will, that because I posted a link to NAMBLA that I was somehow stating that all homsexuals are child molesters. I never said that, nor did I imply it. That conclusion was drawn by others, like Narci. That he was so hostile and defensive about it speaks more of him than of me, but you'll have to take that up with him."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

AlexCrowley 0 #95 December 20, 2005 those were random names that may or may not bear a resemblence to posters on any forum.

AlexCrowley 0 #100 December 20, 2005 actually for me its usually the more humorous. If you read back to that long thread where I explained how there's a large deficit between our perceptions of reality and the differences in our personal philosophies you'd see why one would feel the need to gradually lower their intellectual content to the point where I felt you could grasp my meaning. Seems that we've found a level at which we can understand each other. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
