Ask your average brat that is old enough to read yet what he learned in school today and then we'll talk about offensive. The "special Olympics poster?" Nobody has said anything about the "deliverance picture", yet.
Ridge Wolf, if you & Remy wish to leave then go! If not then stay! But please knock off the dramatics! Sheesh! Are we a clique? Possibly, but where is it written that that's a "bad" thing? Within every group you have a certain amount of people who "hang together". The unique thing about this "clique" is that it's made up of people that are independent by nature yet still fit together somehow. Perhaps your "intellectual" mind can get around that somehow. No one here forced Remy to leave, he did that on his own as he's "thin-skinned" & can't take the heat when it gets focused on him. He's done it before & I'm sure he'll do it again at some point in the future. You sound quite a bit like the same kind of person. So perhaps you'll move on & find a clique of "intellectuals" where you'll fit in. Perhaps they won't have "scary" avatars to frighten you & give you nightmares. Perhaps Remy/VolWest will even be there to give you "psycho-therepy" to help you get by. You see, even if we're a clique, we're not the kind to ban people without a very good reason. You've been allowed to post your opinions here, & that also means that others have the right to crticize & question those opinions. However there are some requirements to being a member of any forum: If you're going to post, you need to have a 'thick-skin" & be able to "take it" as well as to "dish it out", & get out of the kitchen if you can't handle the heat! I also belong to a "Christian leaders Forum, some of the criticism there makes this look like a "walk in the park". So if you're through whining as you leave we'll gently close the door behind you. 'Bye Ridge-Wolf! 'Bye Remy!:cool:
Hey Sam R? thanks for taking down your signature line, although I for one think you should have left it. It doesn't bother me if you want the whole world to think you're, ah never mind, don't want your cyberpanties in a knot either. Whatever happened, happened. Trax will indeed abide...
and Remy left? Oh like that's new
Good post SR, and since my son is not the average brat i'm not offended in the slighest, really. And I say use what signature you want, I do and if its not liked I really care less. And your are right about panties getting in a wad... it was funny too.
Don't mistake my kindness for a weakness, while I like everyone on here, never put anyone on my ignore list, and wonder about some of the postings we have (even my own) I don't wanna see anyone leave because we need the diverse rants and answers here... that being said if ya wanna leave go, makes me no never mind either way. I barely cushion what I say and try to be polite as I can but even I have gone off on tangets before, thats part of forums and life, deal with it. I just like a wide variety of people to chat with.
Are we click? Probably and so frig'n what, do we go after numpty's, yeah and I'll continue if they are doing something stupid such as going into the wilderness with only a frig'n knife, and newbies... I don't think I've ever been really rude or offensive but then again you need to be thick skinned in the wilds and this is the wilds of cyberspace so deal with it, you don't like what I say then hit the ignore button, in the end its just a conversation and nothing should be taken personal because they're talking to a username and avatar, not me or you.
Actually I like this thread, that's why I keep posting:D
All great men were bigots, trax, well 98% of them.Quote:

I'm a product of my world you are a product of yours. Cheer up. I'll never take over the world and you'll never amount to anything. Wadded yet? :D
All great men were not biggots, and what world made you one, you live in the backwoods of Georgia, nothing wrong with that, a country boy can survive. I live in the backwoods of Ohio, but what world product or event made you biggot?
And for the record Jesus was not a biggot.
I don't mind anything you call me SamR. because what you think means absolutely nothing to me. I'm not a dope smoker or a socialist, but if you want to think that or call me that because of a few jokes I've made feel free. And you go ahead thinking whatever you want, obviously you have your own definition of great men. I don't need cheering up and every day of my working life I get to help people who are less fortunate than I am, every day of my nonworking life I get to spend in the great unspoiled outdoors of Manitoba, so I'm pretty ok with what I've amounted to. You'd have to be important to me for me to get me "wadded up". I hope you're not too disappointed. Actually, I don't care about that either....Quote:

Okay, enough of the "Bible debate", you guys are "freaking out the straights"!:D Beo, the very same book your quoting from also says that the "unsaved" person views the Bible erroniously. Sad fact: You can't argue with someone like this so my advice is don't even try. It's not worth it, besides, Gray Wolf is right!:cool:
Ridge Wolf! You imposter! You've been here as "Woodwose"! You snuck back in under a different identity! Your credibility is "zip" with me, now! You've even deleted all your posts under both names, just like VolWest/Remy!
Perhaps you're even the same person!? Very suspicious behavior; no wonder you left. We've been played, gang!!!:eek:
SR you are the son of a preacher? With those views of God and Jesus... Sad bro, very sad. I will pray for you.
Now I am done.
Okay Gray Wolf and Sarge no more Bible talk, my bad.
Beo, I am involved in various ministry work, and spent two weeks arguing Bible Heuremantics with a "Pastor" whom I met picketing the Cornerstone Festival outside the gates. At the end of a flurry of e-mails all we did was make each other mad!:mad: Just a word to a friend and an obvious brother; Jesus wouldn't have wasted his time either.:cool: Now settle down or no Alpo for you!:DQuote:

I've deleted all of the "Religious Flaming" posts on here and have spoken to Beo about it, and now will tell you. No more posting religious debates as continuing to do so will get you banned! In this country we have freedom of religion, and the right to believe what we want, however, on this forum it's not a topic for debate...Ok?
We now all know how both you guys think. So it's said & done...let it die. Beo has agreed, how about you?:cool:
Yeah, I thought your response was letter perfect, but us would be comics have to take our shots where we can get them :rolleyes:Quote:

And work your way forward instead of just deleting the ones you disagree with? :rolleyes:Quote:

Sure, find somewhere where I have used the word BIGGOT and I'll delete it myself.Quote:

This would appear to be an ongoing attempt at religious debate by a member who was just warned to drop religioius debate. It's not for me to decided, I'm just saying it might appear that way. How many warnings can members get about their postings? Because personally, I'm thinking there's a LOT of things I haven't said in here that I just might start on, since apparently I can get away with them.Quote:

Whether it is on TV, in music, books, or on the Internet, censorship is an inescapable part of human society.
Awwww dang!!! :D jk
Didn't mean to break any rules, I just got off on one of my tangets again. sorry to all and I'll no longer talk of politics or religion. My bad.
Yeah, how about that censorship thing hey? Just the other day, me and a couple of the fellas were sitting around in the temple talking about that very thing just after we'd sacrificed a couple of virgins to the great goat-head.....see? NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW!
Sheesh. You want free speech? You want to talk about religion and politics? Then yell at your monitor. Maybe if you do it loud enough, the rest of us will hear it.
I saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaid my bad! Dang it.
Gentlemen & Lady, I have my own beliefs and it is crazy to think a post on a site would sway me one way or another. My beliefs are my own. I do believe we can believe what we want about anything without insulting the core of one's religion or the lack thereof. Religion did play a huge part in this country's past. More wars and blood have been shed over religion than anything else. We are under a constant threat of terrorists and we all need to step back and see what we can do to improve not only our individual chance of survival but the country as well. United we can't be beaten, I don't want another Korea, Vietnam & now Iraq. We need to be more concerned about overall than individual survival, and the same in Canada. Like it or not you are in the same pot we are simmering in. My opinion only
Any further questions, please refer to post #197 and DON'T PI$$ OFF MY DAD!
This would appear to be another one of your never ending attempts to throw poo. I thought we agree to just ignore each other? Commie speakem with forked tongue?Quote:

No SamR, I was just asking because it seemed apparent to me that a tactic you use when you're warned is to use the warning to keep on blathering you usual blather. Not a Commie, either, by the way, but if childish insults make you feel better about the size of your weenie or something you can go right ahead and keep on thinking that you're insulting me. But again, what you have to say would have to matter to me for me to consider it an insult so, you got nothing.
The truth and reality, well said my brother!Quote:
