Want to sell your chair?

I don't need the dogs.

Can't believe how many names I still recognize here even after all these years.

Maybe it's all fun on internet forums but people who insult religious people in real life social situations just come across as huge assholes to the majority of whoever is around.

An internet forum is inherently a debate platform. Lets be honest that we're not all here to talk about what's new in our lives like we would over coffee with friends. I've gotten into religious debates in real-life situations, but they were definitely deeper discussions that slowly came about. I will agree that randomly bringing up a religion discussion and is generally an asshole thing to do. It's much like bringing up politics with a large group. Politics are fine to talk about and debate, but it doesn't mean you want to bring it up before a captive audience just before you start dinner at a fancy restaurant.

i know people from some different religions and they don't think that.

i'll disagree with the first and last part of this. personally i don't want to think less of someone because i don't agree with their thinking or their lack of critical thinking skills. i'm not saying it doesn't happen to me tho, but it's something i want to move away from. on the other side, i do agree with you that don't need to respect or agree with someoneone's beliefs, but, i think you should respect their right to do so and not mock them because of it.

I'm going to leave the 'selective belief' religious people discussion out of this. I will say that selectively cherry-picking beliefs that you like out of what is intended to be a cohesive dogma is no different than simply not subscribing to that dogma in the first place. As soon as you don't believe a part of your faith, you are no longer 'of' that faith. I believe parts of the bible, such as "don't kill", "don't steal", "be good to eachother" but that doesn't make me a Christian. It makes me someone with my own set of morals, some of which happen to overlap with what someone else wrote down as their morals in a book.

You don't want to think less of someone who say, treats an obviously satirical article from the Onion as truth? If someone makes an obvious showing that they have less-than-average cognitive abilities, I'm not sure why you wouldn't think less of their cognitive abilities. Call a spade a spade.

in these debates you typilcally don't see the people supporting religious freedom saying those without religion are stupid or going to hell

It's implied as it is the core of just about every belief system out there. Their system is the right one, and everyone else is going to hell (or another word for hell, but the same idea).

I reserve the right to think less of religious zealots the same way we would both think less of an adult who believes in the tooth fairy. They're entirely welcome to hold that belief, and be free from any sort of discrimination but that doesn't mean I need to personally respect their belief. I tend to think less of anyone who appears to lack critical thinking skills. I don't think that makes me a bad person.

Ahaha sideshow rage machine. Guy's MO lately seems to come flying out of left field screaming about how everyone needs to chill the fuck out, then complains that everyone is getting too worked up and bails again. Run out of weed or something?

I have a landyahtz board I picked up a few years ago, rode around for a few weeks on that summer then decided it wasn't for me. It sat in my hallway for 3 years and is now sitting in the trunk of my car. I think I paid $120 (it was used at the time).

If you're interested at all, I can get you some pics.

King of the North has to mow down King of South(USA) After that the NWO will be established, they will cry peace and security is here…..then the end will come…and a new beginning will start.

King of the North?

Winter is coming.

As a TELUS employee, it bugs me too. Unfortunately each txt is a transaction. This causes all sorts of records and auditing and billing support calls and the cost ends up way above the cost of the data transmitted. It's like family-sized products being twice the size of an individual serving but only costing a bit.

I'm not saying that I agree with the pricing, just that there are other factors than the cost of transmission. :(

Did you just say it costs money because you have to go through the hassle of charging money for it?

Do you honestly think you can ask this without explaining what kind of twisted S[HTML_REMOVED]M cellar you are building?

The better question is: will the rubber be ribbed, for his pleasure?
