You've made false appeals to tradition, you've claimed that removing "under God" is discriminatory, and now you claim that we are "anti-Christian". Is there no end?

I have officially lost patience with people who try to change the argument to a general attack on my history the minute they start getting their asses kicked in a debate.

Nah, just omit it on newly-minted currency. Paper money is destroyed and reprinted every few years anyway due to wear & tear.Cabwi Desco wrote:Yep.
Lemme guess, you think that 'Under God' and 'In God We Trust' should be removed?
Well in that case have fun recalling trillions upon trillions of pieces of currency just to get rid of four words. And about half as many posters and papers and commercial tapes and newspapers and jamming intercomms just to get rid of two words.
My favorite part of the article. Someone should have told the Knights of Columbus that.Still, "she had no right to change (the pledge)," Pulciani- Johnson said.

AdmiralKanos is the Administrator account. A few other such accounts exist. However, for board security, he browses with an account with only mod priveledges. Same reason a system administrator won't log in using /root unless it's needed.Castor Troy wrote:Awesome.

Speaking of which, I know that Darth Wong (Mike Wong) is AdmiralKanos, but why does he use AdmiralKanos when he lays the law down?
Or is it some Transformers thing?

So you are a fundamentalist moron. Or, at least a mindless right-wing "This country was founded as a Christian nation OMGWTF!!!!111" robot.Cabwi Desco wrote:The thing you all seem to be missing is that you are just as intolerant as the words to which you object. You are particularly blindingly intolerant of Christians; you can't see past it.
Bullshit. I'm going to remind you of what you just said a paragraph ago:OK, I don't think it's a big deal that the words "under God" are in the pledge or that "in God we trust" is on our currency and coins. Some of you do. We're each entitled to our beliefs. That I don't find the words objectionable doesn't make me a fundi; in fact I'm far from it. I just don't have a really strong feeling about it.
Right. Not feeling strongly about it. Gotcha.Cabwi Desco wrote:The thing you all seem to be missing is that you are just as intolerant as the words to which you object. You are particularly blindingly intolerant of Christians; you can't see past it.
And if you read Mein Kampf and you're Jewish, you can omit the parts where Hitler says he wants to kill you and your entire race. Right. Once again, the original intent of those who put the word "God" in there was specifically to promote a particular God. Namely the Christian god. This is well-documented.Regardless of what it looks like in print (capitalized "God"), people can mean whatever they believe when they speak the words. If they're atheistic, they can omit the words.
And the fundamentalist who howls when an opportunity not to ram the god of the Christians down the throats of everybody else, Christian or not is just as thin-skinned. They're also fucking hypocrites when they claim that it isn't what they're doing.The person who describes saying words one doesn't believe or being looked at when omitting them as "torture" is pretty thin-skinned.
"Stand up proudly for your belief as long as you implicity kow-tow to our God, you godless commie bastards." And yes, I think we are stating our objections to the implicit kow-towing to the Christian god on the part of an ostensibly secular government. And yet, you're attacking us for doing so. Nice going, hypocrite.If you feel strongly that it's wrong to say them, you should be able to stand up proudly for your beliefs, just as adherents to any religion should be able to stand up proudly for theirs.
Hmm, seems you've been terminated . . .

Mostly, if the user has contributed any useful amount, he'll get a poll. If he's just being a retard, he gets the boot.

I do if there's no clear-cut rule violation. But deliberately trying to change the subject to someone's personal history in order to save a sinking-ship argument is a clear-cut violation of the "no vendettas" rule.
