SS,

Like I stated it's not the belly so much as the fact that the belly makes their bb stick out. And bb disgust me.

Laurie,

SEXIST! I was talking about my belly getting fat like goldy's from drinking too much. :)

Goldy,

Based on the powers of predetermination-prob not. Besides it's not really the belly, its more the belly-button.

Goldy,

Pass me the sick bucket please. Especially the last part. I've seen it as I have FIVE younger brothers, it grosses me out. And the whole pg belly-button sticking out and all.

Defense tool? Hmmm. Generally psychos are locked up for their own good as much as the community's.

Quite right. But I meant it in the apologetic "it's not really their fault" tone.

As far as the nature/nurture thing I've always held the belief that it was a combo of both. Evolutionary speaking, that makes the most sense.

Bonzai

Wasn't even directing the race card at you. With all do respect I haven't read all of the going betweens of you and goldy. Just used a combo of scanning and group reading to get the gist.

All I remember is that someone played the race card. So let's just say my race comment was offense-an example.

161. Comment #238176 by Bonzai on August 27, 2008 at 5:35 pm

Agree 100%. Hands down. Couldn't have worded it better.

59. Plan to exhume cardinal is 'homophobic'

Comment #238171 by thewhitepearl on August 27, 2008 at 5:17 pm

Goldy,

It all boils down to the nature/nurture debate. A person can act the way they do purely from the way they were nurtured, you have qualities that were purely an act of nature, and then some people act a certain way because it's a mixture of the two-whether mostly nature or mostly nurture.

Correct?

Now moving on from that point-while you can blame lets say the way one psycho murderer behaves on genetics, it's not correct to say that all pyscho murders can be blamed on genetics and shouldn't use "genetics" as a way to excuse or explain every single psycho persons behavior.

As a side note, this is why I get tired of people always using "Not guilty-by reason of insanity" to defend themselves in court.

[Now bonzai before you go all ape on me I wasn't saying that being a homosexual is something that needs to be excused.]

Being gay is not the same way as being a certain race. You can't choose to be a certain race. Now while sexual preference is not something that some people necessarily "choose" it is a preference, and thus a decision that an individual makes.

It is a little bit of a pansy to use genetics as a defense tool. Because a.) That's not true for all homosexuals and b.) A straight person wouldn't pull the genetic card to explain why they prefer members of the opposite sex.

Goldy,

Your moobs are not bigger than my boobs. Sorry.

Get back to me when they give you back problems, then we can start comparing.

Both of you guys are bringing up good points, i don't think either one of you are paying attention to what the other person is saying. You're starting to harp on small otherwise indifferent points.

It's like fanusi and steve arguing.

That last link is much better. Never direct me the way to a website raving about low alcohol beers.

BTW I think I might like to make you a personal brewist to the king and I. This is a position that is of upmost importance and respect.

Of course I'll have to run this by him first.

Sounds fair. How would you like to be carried?

Oh I thought perhaps wrapped in your tail if I'm too drunk to even hold myself up. Otherwise riding on your back suits me just fine.

I petition the court for a position of Commissar of Music.

Yes, I shall consult with the king on this matter, I believe that the Commissar of Music should be the second (if not at least equal) highest paid position.

Hmm. This seems to be turning into a drinks discussion thread.

twp-

don't get so drunk that you can't smite any more.

I take my job seriously sir. I won't be too drunk to smite, although you might have to carry me around.

kaiser,

Please do. I just read the how-to on the website. Now I'm antsy, and fear I must "go to dinner" and have a few drinks.

I think I might like to become an absinthe connoisseur.

Kaiser,

Well I have time traveling abilites so I was going to, of course travel back in time and get the real absinthe.

The meltdown of oscar wilde absinthe. :)

I thought it was still prohibited in the USofA? Guess I'll be on the lookout. You'll be my new favorite person.

[edit]

Oh sorry kaiser the link comment was directed towards goldy. I'm going to your's now...

Why do alcohol related sites require you to disclaim if you are of legal drinking age? I've always wondered that.

Quetz,

I say we take these positions. It works to our advantage. We can still run around smiting people, course we can do it under the unfluence-much more amusing.

You bring the tail and mighty god powers, I'll bring the absinthe.

The reason is some people are freely throwing ad hoc ideas and solutions for complex issues, such as deportation of citizens or various changes to the constitution of a country.

[face palm] You have a reading comprehension problem. And lack the ability to pick up on sarcastic cues.

Do people have problems with me calling those ideas amateurish and backed up with a ridiculous sense of authority and confidence? Yes.

Are you daft? No one has had problems with you voicing that particular opinion. Go back and re-read YOUR posts and then the replies. I'm sure the issue wasn't you voicing your disdain for the so called arrogant and pompous attitude of me and Fanusi.

piss off.

Ok sir, thanks for asking. Don't know what those are but guess I'll have to google it.

Well, yes you might get depressed if you read this whole thread. You might get a bit amused. It's been mostly depressing for me.

You better start practicing those rubber wedgies.

Nairb,

I agree with your premise. I suppose my issue was the same argument has been tossed around back and forth for just about half of this threads life now. I haven't really seen any new points or counter arguments. It's getting redundant is all.

At this point I feel it's like trying to argue which color of blue looks best on a persons skin tone. Does that make sense? I wasn't trying to attack anyone.

Comment #237889 by thewhitepearl on August 27, 2008 at 11:29 am

climbed trees, got dirty, played many sports, beat up the boys who said I couldn't play cuz I was a girl, played with Legos, GI Joes, Transformers. But I still took 16 years of dance, wore dresses (sometimes), and played with dolls.

Me too! Except I wore dresses all the time (always with a matching bow or ribbon). Even while scurring up the trees and such. But I've always thought that perhaps I had these "tomboy" traits is because I had to be. (I have five younger brothers-three of which were always around me). Outside of my mom I'm the only girl I know who wastes a ridiculous amount of time on gaming consoles.

Coco,

Wish I had the patience for baseball. I don't. But I enjoy the games because it's a perfect place for me to drink heavily, smoke, pig out on junk food and socialise-at any time during the day for a long period of time-and not be judged.

Any way do consider yourself a tomboy-girl just because you collected baseball cards?

Comment #237645 by thewhitepearl on August 26, 2008 at 9:55 pm

kkelly,

That may very well be true for some men and likewise applies towards some women.

But there are people out there that can be turned on by both sexes but decide that they prefer a certain sex over the other. In that sense it is a choice.

And then there are the people out there that don't really "see" the sex of individuals when looking for a mate. They look beyond that and focus on personality and the spirituality/connection aspect. Not paying mind to their choice and if it makes them a homosexual or not.

So why do gay people always have to seek alibi in the genes?

Good question/point.

I've been in and out of the hotel. In and out of RD.

I can only entertain myself in a strange city for so long. Like I said before a few plans had to come to an abrupt halt.

Although sitting in the lobby or bar of the hotel has proven to be amusement enough. The DNC is going on right now after all.

Comment #237472 by thewhitepearl on August 26, 2008 at 2:14 pm

Fanusi,

I'm going to have to commend you for your patience because this discussion has been going on for three days and 85% of it has been deportation talk.

I've heard practically the same question asked in about 12 different formats and answers that follow suit.

For Example

What we can get are the ones who really mean it, who stand up and say they want to replace the constitution with the Shariah - Abu Haza & so forth. We can get them, deport them, bar them from ever returning, seize their mosques and holdings and tear them down.

That is the way such a ruling would work. And that is both right and just. It would also act as a deterrent for violent bigmouths.

It's been said about umpteen plus 10 times, just taken on different forms.

But I'm sure the same questions and objections will be raised yet again.

Comment #237454 by thewhitepearl on August 26, 2008 at 1:57 pm

Hold on

Not "saying the want to overthrow the state" is different to "renouncing Sharia"

I presume you are apostate if you renounce Sharia

What % of muslims today in the world have renounced sharia ?
Or what % of muslims have ever renounced sharia?

If the answer is 0% then you are saying deport all muslims!

[sigh]

Out of all the ideas Fanusi and I threw around, we are still on the deportation issue?

beating.dead.horse.

Fanusi,

You are forgetting Taqiyya, groups such as the harbis would quickly lie, not only about suport for Shariah, but about being Muslim. They would claim to be Jews, Agnostics, Atheists, Zoroastrians, or Baha'is. But would operate covertly, in highly independent cells, for the destruction of Infidel society and the establishment of their Shariah state.

My point: Simply asking might not be enough.

I remember bringing something similar to this up, at least I think I did. Asking isn't enough, but what would you do otherwise to prevent this issue? More complete and thorough background checks? Referencing all known connections that are tied to the individual directly and indirectly?

Ebonics huh? We can just make stuff up, like languages? If that is the case I would like my IQ test in Wooter.

Apparently we can-remember "bling-bling" is now a recognised english word. I don't understand the language of Wooter so I would fail miserably. I have a feeling you would too for two reasons, you're ADD and you're much to smart.

IQ tests are regarded by the clever as accurate, the mediocre as depressing, and by the stupid as false.

Comment #237330 by thewhitepearl on August 26, 2008 at 11:00 am

Just a question - but why does this oasis of clear thinking and reason seem to have this tabloid like obcession with the sexual sins of hypocritical clergy? The glee, self righteousness and pompousness of this triviality is bad enough - but the thought that it is actually posted here as an argument for atheism is even sadder. I thought RD did not approve of ad hominem?

As for your first question, I mean really think about it. As people who pride themselves as being more moral and born again with the nature of god and such, it's not hard to figure out.

Secondly, there is no such thing as an argument for atheism and that is a wildly inappropriate accusation to make. Outside of just plain wrong and stupid.

And lastly whether RD agrees with Ad Hominem arguments or not-is moot. RD is NOT our leader and does not try to control us as such. Nor do we feel the need that everything he says must be followed because we have minds of our own.
