ATTENTION, ALL READ ... please.

[Athene]

Hello all

I see that tensions are running high because of the passing of Prop 8. I understand that this is a huge blow to many people here but while you're posting on CF I'm going to have to ask you to express your disappointed and disgust in a less aggressive manner.

To the prop 8 supporters, you're obviously very pleased with this decision and while you're on this forum you're entitled to say why you're pleased, but when you go on from that and goad, belittle and mock homosexuals you're crossing a line. The mod team have actioned several such posts and there are plenty more that have been reported. The success of prop 8 is a stab in the heart to many people here, and to gloat over their pain is tacky.

This forum has produced a huge amount of reports in the last day or so, I'm going to be going through the threads here and if I see a thread which has more then 5 reports made on it I'm going to close that thread for review.

Finally, please be mindful of the rules, our mod team are few andover worked especially with the fall out from the election and now proposition 8.

Will you be sending PM's to the transgressors. (I never know if i've posted something illegal). Thanks.

 

[Athene]

Yes I'll send PM's to inform people their thread has been closed.

Why not just let people vent?

 

[Polycarp_fan]

I stand by my statement that anyone who voted yes on the proposition, and anyone who supports that proposition is an awful bigot. They may otherwise be nice people, but on that issue they're as bigoted as the KKK.

That is all.

It has been reported that Jesus was a nice person.

Jesus replied. "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

You can vent, just vent within the rules. Calling other people a bigot is against our rules so posts that do so will probably be edited or deleted.

People who voted yes on prop 8 are welcome to post here and they should be able to do so without getting a load of abuse.

*rolls eyes*

What did Athene just say? In one ear and out the other, eh?

Just listen to yourself slander everyone else as "bigots". If anyone doesn't agree with you, then they're as bad as the KKK. Sheesh.

I know what Athene just said. That's why I said it here. I want to be heard loud and clear.

Delete the post, the sentiment isn't going to disappear. Ban me, my sentiment isn't going to disappear.

You know, more than likely Lot has descendants running around somewhere in the Yes on Prop 8 crowd.

I'm betting.

This is why CF needs a thread that is no holds barred, let it all hang out thrash-fest. You get to see the real nature of people in a forum like that.

Too much structure hinders reality sometimes.

You mean one where I can use my actual vocabulary and not this rated G junk? Where I don't get reported for saying Damn or Ass/Bastard?!?!

*crying* That is so touching......waaaaaahhhh.

Did you act in any Shakespeare plays? Because that is really good.

*Gishin talking*

Oh California, thoust vexest thy gays. A pox upon you all!! Oh, that thoust may smite thy enemies to be downtrodden unto thy earth....

Descendents of his daughters' incestous couplings with their father? Maybe that explain their mental processes.

Hey -- you are the one who brought it up. I just followed up with a logical observation.

If I said what I really feel like saying right now, I'd be banned for sure. Suffice it to say your post displays the profound ignorance of the suffering this Proposition has caused.

My Dear,

A bigot is ONLY a person who has no rational explanation for his/her opinions. The Bible is a rational reason and I can quote you some verses if you like. On the other hand, calling people bigots simply because you disagree with their rational assessments is bigotry.

If that's how you sleep at night.

 

[pgp_protector]

Why not just let people vent?

Because some feel that it's better to let that pressure build tell they explode

Being able to rationalize or not your stances is not the definition of bigotry.

From Merriam-Webster: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices ; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.

And so man and woman can get married. But back then, man and woman was child (about the age of 13), so I guess that means that Jesus is all for people marrying at 13 .

Prop. 13
Hereby define marriage as between a man and woman, where man and woman is meant to refer to a male or female at or above the age of 12, repetitively.


Also, back in the day, there were the rape laws of Deut. in practice, but Jesus up held them.

There is also the whole fact that marriage was an institution of property ownership, not much different from slavery. While we killed slavery, marriage just evolved.

Can I call a founding member of the KKK a bigot?

Exactly what is a bigot anyways? I can tell it is something negative, but I'm not actually sure what it is.

If by better, you mean really fun, and you think things like shouting matches and shootings are fun, then yes.
