I am not ridiculing you, Setanta. I have apologized for my behavior earlier and I am not going to allow myself to be drawn into another argument with you. It is very hard for me to resist responding to some of the things you have said, but I am not going to do it.
Therefore, I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta. I am not going to get into a fight with Setanta.
Note to self:
When watching parade, make sure feet do not stick out into parade route.
also avoid drumsticks at xmas dinner.
Save the drumsticks for me!
I bet Momma would get in a fight with set if he asserted that homosexuals deserve equal treatment to everyone else.
fags should be burned at the stake so we could avoid this issue. I hate fags and bigots.
I AM NOT going to fight with Setanta no matter what. There is no reason for me to fight with Setanta.
You're right, Set. Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen you actually come out and say, in so many words, "There is no God." My apologies. What I was trying to refer to, however, was the militancy that both you and Frank display in countering any religious-based argument. (Maybe I'm misreading that, too; in which case, apologies in advance.) You and I agree on at least one thing, however -- that any organized religious movement is to be feared, not supported. You'll notice that my post referred only to individual personal beliefs, not the organization of people with similar beliefs into congregations. A congregation, like any other mob, is susceptible to being misled by a charismatic leader. e.g., say the Kool-aid swilling Rev. Jones.
Blessed are the peacemakers....
peacemakers, yes what a concept, shall we invade canada?
Uh, let me rephrase that:
Blessed are the peacemakers (not the weapon).....
I ran outta black powder for my Peacemaker. Still have some percussion caps and maybe half a dozen lead bullets.
nothing like a revolver to make peace.
Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war
Peace Through Superior Firepower
Fire and brimstone, God's weapons of choice.
God made men equal. Sam Colt keeps them that way.
No it won't, one of them will die. Some peacemaker.
Momma says we duke it out. (edgar grabs timber and slides him down the bar, crashing beer glasses and causing everyone to scatter. dys slams a chair over edgar's head. John Wayne and a comical Indian commence to battering patrons. Momma Angel breaks a beer bottle over Merry Andrew's skull. General mayhem while the a2k crowd tries to breach the bars separating these inmates from everyone else. thread folds).

Do you think that is particularly clever of you to shout moan? That is what you are doing, isn't it? When one is used to a particular format, one expects it. For someone who constantly picks fights, you are in no position to judge anyone else. If you consider anyone who asks a question or disagrees with you as picking a fight, you have a lot to learn about human nature.
You go out of your way to comment on posts i have made to others--as for example when i offered Thomas a crying towel and you took the opportunity to jump in. So i stand with the statement that you like to pick a fight. I hae already explained that i will not use MA because that to me means Merry Andrew, whom i have known for years, before this site existed. I won't use momma or angel--the thought disgusts me because the first is a blatant attempt to portray herself as the loving, motherly type, which i see as hypocricy, and the second because angels do not exist by any evidence i've ever seen, and it is another attempt on her part to portray herself in a favorable light based upon her predilections. She likes to tout her virtue constantly. I won't play, so MOAN it is, and MOAN it will remain. I didn't judge you, i just made the observation that you like to pick fights and seem to have a thin skin. I've never asserted that those who disagree with me inevitably deserve to be described as having a penchant for picking fights--that's just a goofy straw man you erected. Nor do i have any reason to believe that you can teach me anything about human nature--nothing i've ever read by you struck me as original or insightful.
At all events, your entire post is just another attempt to pick a fight.
I am afraid that you confuse coming to someone's defence with picking a fight. You Sir, pick the fight. I am merely coming to the defence of those whom, as a bully, you choose to pick on.
Someone called you Set in another thread and you threw a chilish, hissy fit when they did that. However, you seem to think that you can refer to anybody else with other than their user name. Ok, Set, that is your way and your choice. Odd. You find nothing that I have written as original or insightful, yet you continue to respond with your little snippets. Are you afraid that people will see you for the bully that you are and you have to hide behind words of little substance?
