Anti-Amercian rhetoric is perfectly acceptable.
Being "Anti American GOVERNMENTAL POLICY" is more than acceptable, its needed as form of check and balance that was and is guaranteed by the constitution. Without it, horror reigns in the form of a unchecked nightmare like permanent McCarthyism or ongoing Slavery. Without vociferous opposition, democracy is doomed.
Anti-Bush rhetoric is perfectly acceptable
What? Are you joking with this one? OF COURSE IT IS OK! He is a POLITCAL FIGURE! Listen carefully: All politicos need bashing in the worst way, if you think that because he is president that absolves him of deep, passionate critism then you have the essence the whole process backwards. Next you will be suggesting that its wrong to be Anti-Tunafish Salad because you prefer Tuna to Roastbeef.
Anti-Christian rhetoric is perfectly acceptable (embraced is a more appropriate description)
The institution of Christianity is the same as any other, Islam, Judaism, etc, and is open to critacism like any other. The INDIVIDUALS that follow that institution, like any other, deserve to have their personal, private beliefs defended by the bullies on the block. You have heard me bash the living shit out of the DOCTRINES of hate, seperatism, racism and ignorance that are inherant in ALL strict religeous teaching, but NEVER, NOT ONCE, have you heard me say that someone should be killed, or imprisioned, or forceably converted from one religeous belief set to another, regardless of how silly it is. THAT is the predominant set of rantings toward Islam that flourish on this board by idiots of multiple religeons and I will gladly call them the assholes that they are. I have done it when that ignorant racist blather is turned at any group. So because you are devout Christian, you believe that 'bashing' the doctrines of your institution of choice is wrong? Fine, defend them with logic and reason, but don't go throwing this "IF you don't believe in my
flavor then you are destined to the eternal fires of hell' HORSESHIT. Keep that ignorant crap to your self, or you deserve to be bashed for foisting your own beliefs onto others. You think that crap should be defended? Go to a christian board then. See ya.
Anti-semetic rhetoric is perfectly acceptable
Read my post above, insert changes where needed.
Anyone who speaks up in favor of traditional values and (dare I say?) morals is immediately lambasted and labeled a closed-minded idiot...or worse
WHOSE traditional values? You stick up for traditional Middle Class White Protestant Values so it's supposed to be off limits? But someone who sticks up for traditional (insert other school of thought) values is
wrong? That assertion is closed minded AND worse.
......on the other hand......
Anything even remotely anti-islamic either gets locked or gets someone banned. How does this differ from an anti-Christian topic? Most of the anti-Christian topics get MUCH more vulgar and brutal than the anti-islamic threads (see this thread), yet they seldom (if ever) get locked, and I'm not aware of anyone being banned for participating in an anti-Christian thread. Hell, even some of the MODERATORS take part in them.
Snore. Re-read my comments above.
Point to the thread where someone has called for the wholesale extermination of all christians.
Show me where a member has suggested that
all christians are blood thirsty murderers.
Could you remind me where someone has professed the virtues of converting all christians to their religion at gun point and if they don't like it, they should be killed?
This is what is NOT tolerated:
yes, that is a quote.
You ever see anyone say THAT about christians, they will get banned like the fool that posted that idiocy.
It's perfectly acceptable to make off-hand remarks about wanting to have sex with someone's underage daughter. So pedophilia is welcomed here too?
You, sir, need to be able to distinguish the banter of those who live life on the fringe from actual offers of disrupting the sanctity of children. Until you can, you might want to try to relax.
Red K attacks are executed on various members by certain "clicks" because their opinions/beliefs differ from that of said "clicks." How pathetic is that?
Pathetic indeed. Welcome to the internet. Glad you could come. I am among the loudest of loudmouths on this board and bashed as much or more than most. Yet I have yet to receive one red K attack for my beliefs, nor have I ever given red but to those that get rude. Why haven't I been crushed by red for my outspoken opinions? Because, although I disagree with you, I never attack you as a person, just your frothing, festering, ignorant beliefs...
So, it seems to me that as long as someone conforms to the common ultra-liberal, anti-American, anti-traditional, anti-moral, anti-Christian, anti-semetic mindset which is so prevalent here, then all is good. But anyone who goes against this grain is considered an outcast and unable to think for themselves.
<cough> HORSESHIT. Read my coments above to crush that rant.
How ironic is that?!? "Conform to the common mindset here and you're golden. Stray from it and you're an idiot." If that wasn't so pathetic, it would be amusing.
Uh... so your suggesting that they need to conform to your mindset? Contradictions like that are what make your arguments easy to ignore. I mean that in a loving, brotherly way, brother.
I do find one thing amusing though...
The ultra-liberals demand that everyone else be tolerant of them and their beliefs, but they refuse to tolerate the beliefs of others.
Snore. Yawn. Read above.
That is so inane that it's crossed over from amusing to pathetic and back to amusing again. That, ladies and gentlemen (and everything in between), is hypocracy at its finest. Congrats. As Bill Engvall would say: "Here's your sign."
Yet at the same time you are saying "If you dont believe in my opinion, you are not not tolerant." You want me to milk-toast around when I disagree? Not gonna happen, if you have ever been unfortuneate enough to read my posts you would know that for certain. I will fight anyone that pulls a curling on
you, or that suggests that you change your personal belief set purely because it is different from theirs. You try and cram any of those down my throat, or suggest that I must be 'unsaved' or 'unable to see the truth' by virtue of the fact that I don't fall into your flock, then hell yes you will get bashed, you should be.
Carry on.
