You and gay bob are not bugged by fetishists and pedophiles using a parade as an opportunity to expose themselves to kids?



You are both very, very sick. I am so out of here.

I don't feel Gay Boy Bob or RW are "sick", but I am sorry to see you go so soon Chip Atkins.

Quote from: "RW"No offebse Chip but that's all you're comment warranted in terms of a response.

I'm not offended at all. But then again I am not the one making excuses for sticking my junk in the faces of children. Or worse, the kids that are forced by their sick parents to see that grossness.

I don't think anyone here sticks their junk in children's faces.

How do you know that? This is the thread that motivated me to register here. I've read all one thousand posts. Some people are not only not alarmed by it, they make excuses for it.

If someone at a parade is putting their junk in children's faces, talk to their parents for taking them to said parade.  That said, I don't believe people at Pride parades are doing this because they would be arrested if they were.



This is just another pedophile linking to homosexuality.  It's not right.

That is the problem, the police in too many cities are not doing their jobs. I am not linking pedophilia to homosexuality. I know that exhibitionists represent just one part of the gay community. Many of these exhibitionists that pollute the gay pride celebrations are not even gay. They are heterosexual fetishists there in public view to flaunt themselves on the one day they will likely get away with it.

So why are you bugging Gay Boy Bob about it?

Quote from: "Dove"*her. I'm a woman. And I DD, on ignore because she has nothing of value to add to any discussion aside from her need to insert her anger at religion. She doesn't listen and is exceptionally nasty and psycho level aggresive. I'd simply rather swallow shards of glass than attempt a meaningful dialog with her.  It doesn't matter, though, what you tell her....because in her mind she already knows everything about you and your motives. She is best, ignored.

Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"Wouldn't putting someone on the Foe list be the same as Christians or Muslims in the last two millenniums insisting on unilateral compliance with their ideologies at risk of a sword run through them?



Being put on the Foe list in that case would be a badge of honor for anyone with personal conviction that they won't allow to be vilified or suppressed.



I wonder who high ideals Dove is message board murdering because they won't get with her spirituality or its undue fallout for those who want nothing to do with it. Hmm, I wonder.

Quote from: "Dove"Reread it. A couple times. Slowly, using all my words. It's very clear I said true converts won't be swayed into accepting secular values. They'd accept death and imprisonment first.

I read what you said.  It just had that creepy fundy feel to it is all.

You find it creepy that someone is willing to die or endure imprisonment for their beliefs? .......Interesting.



As I've said previously I'm not a religious individual but I can respect that kind of devotion to an idea or principle. That kind of resolve is not limited to religious belief and it has well served many a person for a variety of principles and issues. Just because you don't share belief in the context of it's application it doesn't make it creepy.

I am not a religious individual either. But if you join a church, synagogue or mosque, especially a fundamentalist one, then you are accepting their literal interpretations of the word.

Why would someone who does not believe care what believers know to be sin?



They don't believer in God or his written word, but they say things like that is not what God meant?



They are contradicting themselves.

And what of people who were once believers and studied the Bible?

Their salvation was false.

Or they're just smarter than your average religious bear.

Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"Hi, Chip. Mind where you step. There's a lot of religious people around here who can't deal with discussion (except, Fashionista. She seems somewhat reasonable enough).

"A lot of religious people"????? By my count there are 2 and both are very civil and engaging unless they are attacked unnecessarily by puerile, know nothing, puffed up, arrogant, little twats.  



BTW, welcome Chip, don't mind the foul smell of hubris and vitriol around here. The less dealings you have with Dinky Dumbass the less noticeable they become. It's funny how that works. ac_hithere

Quote from: "asal"Hello miss Dove of NOLA :)  Did you ever visit a plantation?  Miss travelling RW?  Miss Azhya - the proud american traveller?



I'm slowly rereading a book on slavery and life in a southern family of slave owners "Slaves in the Family" by Edward Ball.  It talks about the early days of Charleston, the history of american slavery, the civil war as it affected the author's family and slaves.   Has anyone visited a plantation?  What did you think?  The ballroom in the video below is gorgeous - everything is painted white (shows up around 6 minutes in).
