Political/Religious Stuff, Just what we need. Another thread. Options

[Howard]

Ok, after not such careful review of the recently closed threads, Admin seems to close them when they become bigoted or downright nasty. I'll bet that was the case with some of Alfred's stuff, though I didn't get to read much.

IMHO. Don't see a liberal or conservative trend on the closures. If you do, you may be over sensitive. The avatars, within limits, are personal expressions, and the adult stuff should be labeled as such. No problems here.

Insults with smileys are great, especially if they are clever (thank you, Slits). But I am sick of hearing how all the problems of the world are caused by rag heads, spics, beaners, niggers, wops, chinks, and slopes. Take it from a kike, I've been on the receiving end and it sucks.

We have Latino members. Someone wanna explain to them why they are responsible for the new smog laws? Or how a Christian who bombs innocents in the name of God is better than a Muslim who does the same?

Going to dinner and a movie (not F911) now.

I just have one small comment to make. I don't want to get into the political/religeous ping pong that goes on, it's just futile.

But I wonder why so many people here caringly, and lovingly respond with best wishes and promises to "remember so and so in their prayers" and so forth when it seems like when someone is not in dire need of such caring/prayers the "religious-ness" gets blasted, and vehemetly so.

I'm truthfully touched by so many of the comments made to Quarl for Hunters sake and of late, Trekkor and his family.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just making an observation. I'm a Christian, I believe in the Bible and it is a filter for all I think and do. My heart goes out to those that are in need and are suffering, but also realize that in the Word it says that God does not hear the prayers of the ungodly. (Isaiah 1:14-15) But does hear those that fear and believe in him (Hebrews 5:6-8). You can't have it both ways.

Like I said, just making an observation.
