I'm not the only member here to call someone out for a face to face. Have you forgotten ExNYer and ChoomCzar so quickly?

So what you are saying is actually not true at all.

[Whirlaway]

You are one of the very few who are quick to threaten physical violence against those you disagree with.

Your a fucking loser.

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction (Boehner, McConnell,...), while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. (OWS, Soros, unions, Fluke,...)

I think so too. I changed my signature quote after Obama won re-election. The left is full of passionate intensity. For many people on the left, their politics is their religion. I think the left's belief that a socialist utopia is possible is what motivates them and makes them so zealous.

Those who believe in God, believe that Heaven exists in the afterlife, and can not be attained in this world. The atheistic left fills the hole in their soul with Marxist nonsense that Man is perfectable that we can create a utopia in this world.

This is exactly what I am talking about Joe. This is insulting and wrong. You assume what we "liberal"s believe and don't believe and it's totally incorrect.

My politics are not my religion at all, not even close.

I do believe in God and HIS only son Jesus

This concept that we believe in Marxist ideas and a 'perfectible' man and utopia is just wrong. How can you assume such a thing about people you don't know.

What we believe in, as a BIBLICAL principle...is JUSTICE.....paricularly, SOCIAL JUSTICE. And so did the Lord.

Disagree with us. But to assume how we feel, what we believe is insulting and it's wrong.

Joe, I'm afraid you are wrong on this one. Socialist utopias exist all over the world. Even today, Jeffrey Immelt was touting what a great place China is. And then there is Cuba, with the greatest health system in the world, according to Michael Moore. And don't forget the up and coming North Korea, or the beautiful life that can be had in Venezuela, according to Sean Penn.

See how well socialism works? That's why the Soviet Union continues to thrive.

When did Jesus ever place the responsibility on government to do anything? And if you are such a firm believer in Jesus, why are you on a SHMB anyway?

You could have even chosen the topic yourself.

I have my answer, the people who attacked me here have proven they are incapable of what I am proposing in this forum. They are now making it about me instead of themselves, or at least they are trying. But this thread is now a mouse trap, and the cheese is still on the bait.

Like I told Joe, COG. Have no worries, I have a remedy.

Typical liberal drivel…”Don’t judge me by what I actually do and say, I’m really a great guy. My intentions are pure no matter how you perceive it. See what a great patriot I am?? Now that I’ve insulted you, can’t you see how open minded and inclusive I am?? It’s not my fault you don’t think what I said is funny, you should really have a better sense of humor."


Yawn...

[CuteOldGuy]

And now KMR is claiming he is spouting his hate and vitriol in the name of Jesus. Good god, how much more ridiculous can he get?

[markroxny]

Like I said, you guys are making this thread about me.

VERY telling.

Ok, let it go then.

[CuteOldGuy]

YOU made it about you, KMR. What an idiot. Oh, I forgot, you are the "morally superior" one, because you post in Jesus' name.

Hey, the trap is set, bring it on! The suspense is killing me!

Actually I didn't. Read it from the beginning.

Do you believe in God COG?

[timpage]

I'll start.

Is there such a thing as an absolute truth?
And you frigging knuckleheads better not insult me.

[timpage]

Is the following a viable life philosophy?

Don’t live life – Bite off huge chunks of it and leave the crumbs for others.
Enjoy women – That’s why they’re on Earth. The only reason.
Drink, from sun up to sun down, every damn day.
Smoke – It’s breathing, only better.
Swear – God damn right!
Eat well and to excess.
Hunt – Animals are here for man’s enjoyment, killing enjoyment.
Fish – See “Hunt” above, substitute “animals” with “fish”.
Fight – There’s not a soul on Earth that doesn’t need a good ass kicking.
Gamble – Wager money, goods, services, and loved ones.
Own the best and plenty of it.
Travel as much as possible to enjoy all the above.

So what you are saying is actually not true at all.

So others have done it as you say (which I was not aware of) and this makes it ok for you to threaten physical violence on others who don't agree with you? You are the one who started this thread, on your high horse, asking why can't we have a discussion without the insults and name calling, when you have taken it beyond that to actually threatening physical violence on others. You do not have a leg to stand on here and you know it!

The topic is not about me. Tim just proposed a topic of discussion.

Let's say I am the absolute worst person on the entire earth. Ok, so does that mean that no one here can have a discussion without personal attacks because Mark Rox is so horrible?

Well, I already have my answer don't I.
