Evil has been defeated my friends!! Or did evil defeat itself? I didn't see one press conference with George Bush.

I look forward to good vibrations and mending the Aussie/American relationship.

I'd like to see America reclaim it's original place in international politics, instead of being a Tyrannical war/fear Mongering machine.

Good has Prevailed!! Evil has lost!!! :clap:

I'm bummed, however, that it looks like Proposition 8 passed in California, as did Proposition 102 in Arizona and Amendment 2 in Florida.

In 1998 I voted in a referendum in South Carolina to remove language banning interracial marriage from the state constitution, and I have hope that similar referendums will eventually occur in states that have banned same-sex marriages.

Expect challenges. I am not much good at prognostication, but I fully foresee Prop 8 being overturned.




I just looked at my UserCP, and saw the title--or as much of it as would fit in the space allowed-- of this thread and the last contributer's name. It said "So Evil has been defeated-...by RegularGuy" Sometimes I don't know my own strength!

It's only a matter of time before we do. And YES, WE CAN! :clap:

Can people get over the title of the thread please. Yeah it was provocative - that's what I do. I was making a point in regards to the 1 million Obama is Satan threads out there.

I don't need to be lectured about the nature of good or evil, or have athiests lecture me that nothing is evil.

Our Side won!

YAY!!

Hopefully it will be. I'm actually a bit surprised that Prop. 8 passed in California. I've always thought that Cali. was one of the more liberal and/or progressive states...?

No problem. I think most people got it. Compared to a lot of what's posted in here, the thread title is hardly worthy of criticism.

Please do not refer to our President for the last 8 years as evil.

Yes, the Global Police.
Our place in international politics since we realized a policy of isolationism by the most powerful and prosperous nation in the world causes world wars. IE: WWI and WWII.

instead of being a Tyrannical war/fear Mongering machine.
Please explain how we have been either of those things.

After 3 months of Christian forums calling Obama all kinds of names, and linking his to terorists, anti-christs etc etc

I believe it was finally Good Vs Evil. Good One.
How exactly is a man who was associated with radical anti-war activists and many other highly questionable people... and who supports abortion to the point of voting against laws that would define a child who was born alive through a failed abortion as a person... good?

Oh, and won... not one. Unless you meant a pun on him being called 'the One'.

this was not good vs. evil.

respect to McCain for his speech. great words and humility...
I appreciate your fairness.

i would never say evil has been defeated, but what i will say is:

realistic hope is being offered, and i'm so thankful and glad for it.
How exactly is it realistic hope?
What will he do?

How can you compare removing a historically unprecedented negative attitude on interracial marriage that has no basis in any religious text, culture, or belief system in history... and allowing gay-marriage which is utterly unprecedented in any historical culture, religion, or context? Even those that totally accepted homosexual behavior like ancient Greece and late Hellenised Rome?

The internet term for that is "trolling".
I love this:

1. trolling
Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.

David, YES YOU CAN!

:p

go to Obama's homepage and read for yourself. i'm not convinced that McCain would have been bad for this country. i just find myself more along the lines of Obama. if you really want to know, go to Obama's site and read. if you don't agree, that's fine. i just hope we stand united through these times as Americains.

like Obama said. we have a long way to go. we may not make it there in one year, or one term, but we will get there. that's realistic hope for me. if its not for you, so be it.

So you provoke people (see definition of provocative) and then complain when they respond to that provocation.

I agree with Izzy they call that Trolling.
