I'll respond to Harvey & Sunner later if I've a chance.

STUPIDLY DESIGNED SOFTWARE! ... there's some common ground we can all agree on!

A banned word will not erase your post. Normally it returns you to edit. You need to copy to clip anything important before you post and if it's really good save it first to docs. There are key strokes I make by accident, don't know what they are, but they erase my posts.

 
IMHO marriage shouldn't be supported by the government at all. Everyone should get civil unions, and let the churches decide to do the marriage end of things. After all marriage is a religious element, which is defined as a unification of a man and a woman. But if another church see differently than let them marry, but have the government see all marriages as just civil unions. That would be much simplier IMHO.

Harvey,

Criminal act?

God does not refer to US Code when determining what constitues sin.

Your point being? What's the problem here? Legalize gay marriage, and if it's wrong, well then god will deal with that when the people are judged, won't she?

Objection! Assuming facts not in evidence! AFIC, your petty diety doesn't exist. 😛

I really don't give a damn what you think constitutes "sin," and it really doesn't matter as long as dogmatic messianic nut cases like you aren't writing civil laws.
 
Hey Moonbeam,

As IT Director, I've had many people come to me over the years complaining that they were typing along and POOF everything was suddenly gone and that something was wrong with their computer.

You are obviously a MUCH brighter candle than the average and already know that it's something you are doing. TOUCHE!

What I've found in virtually ALL cases is that that person was typing a word with that began with a capital A. The finger slips, and they got a Ctrl-A which is the command for "select all"... one key stroke later everything is gone but the word they are typing. I'll bet that's what's happened to you from time to time also.

My previous question, ?Is there any one in Heaven who has committed theft, adultery, sodomy, murder etc.??

And the answer is:

YES.

Probably not. Personally, I think it's a silly notion. If it were up to me, I wouldn't allow it. But it's not, and I've never voted for or against it.

Why wouldn't you allow it if you're not against it? 😕

Last chance, Rob, before you go on the list.

YES.
And you know this in the only way anybody could know this by having gone to heaven and reported back here to us?

 
Is there any one in Heaven who has committed theft, adultery, sodomy, murder, etc. that still engages in those acts?

PALTROLL -- That is an incredibly stupid question, but as long as we're getting into the truly absurd, I'm sure you also worry about whether Klingons have the same concerns about what's going on in Stovacor.

You keep saying that. "Probably not" applies to whether I'm on record for not being against it. That's the problem of a negative question. ("Do you not want me to steal your money?")

Geez Gaard. I didn't know you quoted this like 29 times. Why are you so interested in my opinions? I guess I'm more important on these boards that I had assumed.

Objection! The existence of a fantasy "heaven" assumes facts not in evidence.

However here's an answer. Theft and murder are criminal offenses committed by one person against another. The state of being gay, caring about another of the same gender and consensual sex between any adults of any gender are not. In other words, IT'S NONE OF YOUR FsCKING BUSINESS! BUTT OUT! :|

Should we encourage suicide, alcoholism, and drug abuse then, as they are not crimes against another? Being homosexual is a crime against self.

Geez, what list is this? Excuse me if I have another life outside of AnandTech, and don't follow up on every post I've ever responded to. You're starting to freak me out - in a stalker sort of way. You shouldn't be this interested in a stranger. Now back off.

Alcoholism and drug abuse are personal and social problems, but of themselves, they are not crimes. Suicide is a statutory crime in most jurisdictions, but they usually don't give anyone the death penalty for it.

You have no evidence that being homosexual is any kind of a crime againt oneself or anyone else. All you have is your personal belief based on your religion. That is not sufficient reason to allow you to impose your will on anyone else, especially through civil legislation.

Since Jesus taught tolerance and acceptance of others, maybe you should be more concerned whether your willingness to condemn those who haven't harmed you is a sin of some sort.
 
Seriously. I post on the internet to have some fun and waste time. It never crossed my mind that many people would even recognize my posting ID, let alone remember things I posted. And if they do, why would they care? And then to come back and check for my reply over and over again, as if you get some kind of pleasure that you discovered inconsistent ideas. Am I the only one who thinks that's weird, or am I dealing with a whole community of single guys living in their parents' basements, where the internet is their only source of social interaction, and they have pictures of me pasted on their walls, and a filing system of everything I've posted since I joined? *shiver*

Pay no attention to gaard. He likes to keep this little "yellow list" of people who don't respond to his BS. Yeah, it's weird in a stalker sort of way...but hey - different strokes for different folks🙂

Seriously, how often have you lied in the past while discussing politics with us in here? If you come in here and lie and say sh!t just to argue, please do us all a favor and stay the fvck out of here. There's plenty of trolls besides you that we have to deal with. Now you come along and admit to lying. Wasn't it you who started a thread about now that the election is over you don't have a reason to post in here anymore? Tell you what, if all you do is lie and argue for the sake of arguing, why don't you do just stay the fvck out?

A tad touchy from the "stalker" comments? :roll:

It's funny that you bring up lying too....

Whatever you say though gaard, because you are the "keeper of the list" :roll:

Another example of memorizing my posts. Are you obsessed with me? How would you remember that?
