[Cabwi Desco] One Nation, Under Your Belief System

[SirNitram]

Dude, I AM out, just trying to throw the rest of you a lifeline.

And what hole do you delude yourself into imagining we're in, kid?

[DPDarkPrimus]

Dude, I AM out, just trying to throw the rest of you a lifeline.

Trying to throw a rope up from the bottom of the pit you've dug?

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?

Dude, I AM out, just trying to throw the rest of you a lifeline.

A lifeline? What the fuck do we need a lifeline for?

Because we're all dooooomed to burn for all eternity if we don't grab his lifeline. Yeah, Christians are so persecuted.

[Castor Troy]

Don't be an idiot. Just concede the point, cut your losses and hopefully they'll drop it. Running off like a pussy only makes you look worse.

I was hoping to here him say that actually.

In regards to that, @Cabwi Desco


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





No, wait, I'm not done holding my sides!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<repeat ad nauseam>

[AdmiralKanos]

Yo, I said YOU were blindingly intolerant of Christians, in no reference at all to the current argument.

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. You are history.

[Utsanomiko]

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.

Nah, just omit it on newly-minted currency. Paper money is destroyed and reprinted every few years anyway due to wear & tear.

Still, "she had no right to change (the pledge)," Pulciani- Johnson said.

My favorite part of the article. Someone should have told the Knights of Columbus that.

*Double-takes page count*
four pages? Aw snarf, I did it again.

[Castor Troy]

Awesome.

Justice is served.

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?

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.

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.

So you are a fundamentalist moron. Or, at least a mindless right-wing "This country was founded as a Christian nation OMGWTF!!!!111" robot.

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.

Bullshit. I'm going to remind you of what you just said a paragraph ago:

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.

Right. Not feeling strongly about it. Gotcha.

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 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.

The person who describes saying words one doesn't believe or being looked at when omitting them as "torture" is pretty thin-skinned.

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.

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.

"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.

Hmm, seems you've been terminated . . .

Ah, ok, that explains things.

Thanks.

[Alyrium Denryle]

Well, if he was just banned... grr... cowardly fuck never bothered responding to my post.

[Castor Troy]

Doesn't Mike then create a poll in the Hall of Shame asking if we want to ban him?

(sorry, I'm new here)

[Slartibartfast]

Dude, I AM out, just trying to throw the rest of you a lifeline.

A lifeline? What the fuck do we need a lifeline for?

To be saved! Repent brothers! Cast aside your infidel...ness and stuff and embrace the lifesaver that is God Almighty!

[Spanky The Dolphin]

Wow, Cabwi really gone, just like that?

Weird...

[SirNitram]

That's the norm, yes. However, there's been occasions where he just tosses them out the door. This is his perojative as the owner of the board.

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.

Yeah I know, see my post above.

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. He even admitted that he brought it up with no real connection to the current debate.

Besides, I can't recall anything that the little turd ever contributed other than consuming my bandwidth.

[Civil War Man]

They've really been coming out of the woodwork these past few months. Do they think that if they keep having Wong use his +2 Sword of Fucknut Decapitation that his arm will eventually get tired or something?

You mean prerogative.

Your primitive rules of spelling hold no sway over me, mortal.

[Nephtys]

Cabwi... gone? Who can I yell at to back up his arguments? Who can I slap for ridiculous self-important arguments? Who can I crush in the STGOD? Noooooooooooooooooo!
