OK, I'll respond. In Exodus, if you read the entire book, God prescribes burnt sacrifice as the method of obtaining forgiveness for sin. However, that method was rendered obsolete upon the death of Christ, which is explained in full detail in the New Testament book of Hebrews.i got a qu'ran and a bible. I just dont know the rules of the bible. What's it matter?
Creating animosity works against conveying a point. Hrmwrm erred on the side of creating animosity. If he wanted to convey a point, any point that could have been conveyed by that would have been conveyed better by an image that didn't have the sexual crudeness in his image.
You really have a problem admitting the truth, don't you. all you are doing is talking in circles. You are assuming he is even trying to convey a point. I am sure he will retroactively try and claim to be conveying some point he will make up on the spot. But the avatar was clearly posted to insult. All you have to do is look to his past in this forum to see that. But, as usual, you only look at facts convenient to your position and ignore any others.
The article basically is saying that Obama isn't a socialist because he isn't an extreme, traditional socialist like us. It mischaracterizes the argument that Obama is a socialist and misrepresents things to do so. The author is defining socialism very narrowly and only looking at the most extreme form of it.
No, I actually know what socialism is and how it has developed throughout history. No need to "reaffirm" anything. Unlike you I don't take a position and then try to rationalize it. I actually try and have as much info as possible before I draw a conclusion.
If it is so capable of keeping up, then why do you mischaracterize me so much? If you clearly understand what I am saying then the only conclusion is that you are intentionally mischarcterizing my arguments in order to deceptively marginalize and discredit them.
If that study wasn't conducted by a woman, it was probably overseen by a woman. Or the men had to put up with a constantly nagging woman at home. Either way, I have no doubt that somewhere down the line, there was a woman on her knees or on her back that lead to the results coming out the way they did.*
Some other points to consider; a large amount of anything is bad. Are we talking realistic levels of testosterone? Or abnormally high amounts? If it is abnormally high, then this study is worthless except as a piece of feminist propaganda. Also, has the study been repeated? One study does not prove anything. If your little female brain was able to grasp the concept of science (or critical thinking for that matter), you might understand that.*
No, that's how I politely respond to bitter, simple minded, internet trolls who like to use the quote button in a misleading manner.Is that how you encourage good dialog Cal?
Do you expect or would you prefer to be treated like a child?ford nut said:I feel sorry for your children...if you have any.
I don't think my willingness to debate the quality of Ron Paul as a Presidential candidate in any way represents your tendency to make single sentenced comments that are entirely personal in nature.The double standards are obvious.
Go look at your Ron Paul threads.
Did it hurt your feelings? Why is it that you're the only one relentless complaining about this? None of the other people in that thread are?I Don't remember having any of my threads edited.
Your the first to delete anything I have ever posted at LVC.
Congrats.
I will. You should see the number of threads all of us moderators delete everyday. I deleted one thread just while typing this response. At the moment, you're contributing as much to this particular sub-forum as the Russian porn website ads and the Korean shoe sales.You see Cal, I donate to this site because the moderators don't delete threads.
But do as you see fit.
Let's use this as an example.STFU kook in the Korner
You're right.Hrmwrm's avatar has created response, reaction and tension. He wouldn't have nearly gotten the response he did if he would have posted the 'same old' Darwin fish avatar. The sexual overtones create a great tie in between 'creation' and 'natural selection'. The purposeful lack of 'tack' is perfect for the subject.
Interesting, you posted an article written by Billy Wharton that was published in the Washington Post. I think we can agree, that's a very mainstream publication. If you publish something there it is going to be consumed by the general public.So, are you saying that Obama is 'socialist lite'? And I would think that one of the leading members of the socialist party in America would be pretty good at defining socialism.
He propped up "capitalist institutions" by giving the government and the unions ownership in them. So, yes, they would be consistent with the actions of a politically conscious socialist. An aggressive one, but of an administration that has carefully studying Alinsky and Lakoff.Obama has gone out of his way to prop up capitalist institutions. Are those the actions of a Socialist?
So you're now really just arguing the method he used to nationalize the industries. Fact is, if he'd let complete collapse take place, he'd have lost political support and the political capital and momentum necessary for his progressive blitzkrieg would have been lost.He could have let the banks fail, and then taken them over. He could have nationalized them. That is what a socialist would have done Shag. He is continuing to prop them up - along with the automotive business. He would have been far better off letting them fail if he wanted to further socialism.
Marxism-lite perhaps?You, and others on this board seem to think if the administration isn't for full bore, no holds barred capitalism, then they must be socialists.
The evolution of a thread is often better than the starting point.And actually someone has redirected this far away from the original 'bible' thread... things wander around quite a bit here, don't they? Far more fun that way.
No, shag, depending on what you are trying to convey, and who comprises your 'audience' animosity can work really well. Hrmwrm's avatar has created response, reaction and tension. He wouldn't have nearly gotten the response he did if he would have posted the 'same old' Darwin fish avatar. The sexual overtones create a great tie in between 'creation' and 'natural selection'. The purposeful lack of 'tack' is perfect for the subject.

Shag, you use scare tactics and boogey men to rationalize your position and try to 'influence' people by using those means. What better scare words are out there than 'socialist' and 'communist'?
So, shag, how do I mischaracterize the fact that you believe Obama to be a socialist - it is in your avatar and you continually cut and paste article after article after article that supports that... You obviously believe that the man is a complete socialist... don't you? So, what am I mischaracterizing? Enlighten my lonely female brain cell - please.
Yep, shag - like large amounts of anti Obama posts - as seen on this site is bad. It isn't realistic. They are abnormally high, and therefore are worthless except as a piece of right nut wing propoganda. They get repeated and repeated until no one reads them. *The sky is falling* *Wolf, wolf* You want other fairy tale analogies shag? My tiny female brain does understand something that is beyond you shag, I happen to know there is a reason for those fairy tales - they are a way to gently remind one of inherent truths. The right continues to tell us the 'sky is falling', while Wall Street rallies. The right continues to cry 'wolf, wolf' while consumer confidence is rising.
Al Qaeda would be a better scare word these days. Are you proud of your girl Wanda Sykes calling Rush Limbaugh the 20th hijacker on 9/11?Shag, you use scare tactics and boogey men to rationalize your position and try to 'influence' people by using those means. What better scare words are out there than 'socialist' and 'communist'?
It also another demonstrates with vivid clarity that we DO NOT have group think among the handful of conservatives on this website.
I have to hand it to you foxpaws three birds with one stone![]()
????I have to hand it to you foxpaws three birds with one stone![]()
all this from my avatar. hilarious. i see my avatar as being no more shocking than you view yours shag.
you just view it with the wrong intent.
as to whether it is shocking or not is up to the observer only
you're just trying to create a double standard of acceptability.
both yours and cals view as to why i chose it are incorrect.
but you can view it any way YOU like.
but i won't sit and let you put words and thoughts to my intentions.
Again, I encourage you to post. The more thoughtful and honest disagreement, the better. And if, during the course of an argument, passions flare, and you take a dig- so be it. But trolling for the sake of griefing or just disrupting a thread is contemptible.

Apparently you didn't understand what Cal said.![]()
Trolls like to make threads about them. That's what hrmwrm has done here, successfully.
Wow...that is some serious PWNAGE...
Does that include fossten?
Is he disrupting a thread just to greif?
Or is that ok because he is part of the conservative group think?
I need no encouragement to post.
Just this forum to be fair and open, free of double standards.

Either you are intentionally ignoring that and being willfully obtuse, or your little female brain is incapable of comprehending it.* Either way, it is a waste of my time to rehash it all again.
It can include Fossten, perhaps you might have noticed, that time I insulted you so deeply by deleting the cross-talk and grief, I also deleted some stuff from Fossten (among others) as well.Does that include fossten?
Is he disrupting a thread just to greif?
You're using the term "group think" wrong, but I think I understand the point you're trying to make anyway.Or is that ok because he is part of the conservative group think?
Then let's conclude this conversation and move on.I need no encouragement to post.
Just this forum to be fair and open, free of double standards.
if you pull yourself away from your religious offense, you can understand it.
I'm just going to take this time to do a little trollin' myself. Seeing as how i can hardly make a comprehensible statement, i'm just going to use to words of wise others.
Dude, TBH, i have no idea where this thread is right now. I really don't.so....you can't add to the conversation, just quote others out of context in an attempt to harass.
I never said you insulted me deeply, only pointed out what I didnt like.It can include Fossten, perhaps you might have noticed, that time I insulted you so deeply by deleting the cross-talk and grief, I also deleted some stuff from Fossten (among others) as well
It easy to find posts that he is trolling in, I can go on and say most of his posts are intened to disrupt a thread just to greif.But, since you seem to fixate on Fossten, he DOES contribute to the conversations. He doesn't exclusively make single sentence posts with the intention of trolling, in contrast to someone like... you for example.
Fair enough, I can be man enough to stop.You're using the term "group think" wrong, but I think I understand the point you're trying to make anyway.
It's funny, you spend posts devoted to how I argued with Fossten and gave him a hard time, and now in this post are trying to say that I protect him and am in full lockstep with his him on everything.
But regarding your question, I don't like it when anyone does it, regardless whether I agree with them or not. I've spoken with many people in this forum at various times in private in an effort to change the tone, without regard to their political affiliation. We don't have "teams" here, we don't keep score, so to frame things like that when discussing personalities is foolish and incorrect.
You've never been isolated, treated unfairly or edited. The one example you reference included people on all sides of the argument, so any claim of persecution is simply wrong.
Then let's conclude this conversation and move on.
There is no "double standard" and more important "double standard" regarding what? Posts are very rarely edited or deleted around here and never for personal reasons, so the claim is just absurd. But if you think something is "unfair," just send me a Private Message and I'll address it.
Dude, TBH, i have no idea where this thread is right now. I really don't.
It's not about the thread- the whole bible toting soldier issue is long forgotten. But you quoted Shag in an effort to make him look bad, but completely missed his point- and the ASTERISK.
An asterisk is often used to call out a footnote at the bottom of the page (or post in this case), which was the case there... Apparently, unaware of this, the point he was attempting to make went over your head.
