Oh, I get it. They have no right to disagree with you. They must be forced to abandon their beliefs because those beliefs disturb your sensibilities. That's an interesting conclusion to jump to. I think Jae tried to accuse me of seeking to censor the...  [Read More]

True. But in answer to your question, I was trying to figure out why you cared. Because I have a big heart. Also, something about an adage about those that don't stand up when one group's rights are infringed find themselves standing all alone when...  [Read More]

I really don't want to get into this, but I want to just ask.... Why are you dead-set against "Conservative Christians" doing what is perfectly ok for them to do? Is this for me? I'm not "dead set" against their right to their op...  [Read More]

I didn't answer that because I assumed it was rhetorical irony/sarcasm and didn't require a response. ;) If you're actually being serious, then no, there isn't a rule, unless Niner came up with something while the forum was down. Nope, it was actuall...  [Read More]
