dictionary.com can be so useful in situations like this.

I've always thought the same and I'm guilty of the same. Changing the words in someone's quote, that is.

It wasn't a case of changing a word or two in my quote. It was entirely deleting the quote and replacing with something totally inappropriate for a family forum.

Yeah, right!

Look who's talking. Mr. "I was thinking about getting a Prince Albert."

Pierced genitalia: I just love your version of "family values".

What you've done lately is Mr. Nice Guy? What, you're normally an axe murderer? You get no breaks because you so often abuse people. Your brand of fun -- insulting people for no good reason, threats, etc. -- no one here likes. Get it? No one I know. ( Someone post otherwise if I'm wrong.)

So if you wanna get mean relative to what you have been recently, good, then it should be only a short time until you screw-up so badly that we can get universal agreement and delete you from the forum. As in kick you out.

If you wanna play, play decent -- don't even gotta be nice -- just be decent for a change and stop trying to incite riots and insult people whom you've never even met just for the sake of meanness. It's old, man, it's old.

Thank you Naomi

Nice tatts wvdl

You've got nothing to say to me: you were the Mod who crossed the line first... long before Yoss pulled this stunt!

Maybe you're right. Maybe I should just say what I've got to say and ignore it when you all go ape ... on me for daring to have a different opinion from the rest of you.

We'll see.

I like your tattoos too, Dragonlady.

There must be 100 yards of bloody posts and corpse chunks on this thread.

It's one thing to have a different opinion...it's another thing to be a big jerk about it.

You either don't get out much or you've got blinders on. I see that it is true.

shouldn't all this hoo-ha about deleteing things be moved to maybe the Moderator thread?Thats what in question.Moderation.

BMIC, is excercising his first amendment right of free speech on here.

DEAL WITH IT.

I find most of his post humorous.

GET THICKER SKIN.

If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

Continue to play devils advocate BMIC.

He can do whatever he wants. Just do it in a respectful manor. That isn't asking very much. Everyone else on this board does it and I haven't seen anyone attack him until they were attacked first. Then he whines about no one wanting to hear a differing opinion. That is total bs people have these discusions to get varing opinions. Not to be ridiculed for who they are.

AGAIN GET THICKER SKIN

You would know.

(Come on - like you didn't EXPECT that?)

You are entitled to your opinion. Please post your source which indicates millions if not tens of millions of mainstream Americans believe tats = white trash.

white trash

NOUN:
Offensive Slang
Used as a disparaging term for a poor white person or poor white people.
Used as a disparaging term for a white person or white people perceived as being lazy and ignorant.

Sorry, but I'm not poor or lazy or ignorant.

Geez, you might as well say "I know you are, but what am I?" Nanny nanny boo boo!

Everyone on here but cfulmor knows what I'm talking about, so I'll leave it at that.

Okay children. Time for me to bow out of this one. I'm tired of playing these games.

From my perspective, it's the majority of the other folks here who are the intolerant jerks. I just refuse to sit back and take their guff. Unfortunately, lately it's all gotten to be so personal that I could take just about ANY position on an issue and you all would jump all over me for it.

Back on the subject.

I like your tattoos, too!

Who's the intolerant jerk?

Yeah that was pretty low.

It's very simple. Try to follow along, now.

There are 46 people who have posted more than 100 posts ever on this site. I think no matter how you figure it, you'll all agree that it's fair to say there are fewer than 46 "regulars" on these forums. In fact, there are far fewer who post anywhere near as often as I do, but let's be extremely biased towards the low end so you can't possibly argue with my claim.

At least one of them, me, holds my exact opinion on every single issue I comment on. Therefore at least 1/46 = 2.2% of the regulars here hold my exact opinion. I admittedly assumed that the regulars here are a fair representation of America at large, which might not be exactly correct, but I'll bet it's not far off when it comes to most issues. If anything, I think the regulars here have a bit of a slant towards the liberal side compared to all Americans, demographically speaking.

The current U.S. population is approximately 297 million. 2.2% of 297 million people comes to a figure of at least 6.5 million Americans for whom I therefore can and do claim to speak.

... and by the way, whenever another of our regulars agrees with me, you can add another 6.5 million Americans to that figure.

That makes you a minority.

You're not usually one of them, I'll admit. But you're not totally innocent either. You're more of a follower than a leader, at least - I'll give you that.

But what on earth did you expect me to say when you pointed out your son has both ears pierced and tattoos? "Oh, since Naomi's kid's got them, there must not really be anything wrong with it"? THINK for a moment: I don't know you or your son from Adam, so that wasn't very likely now, was it?

From my perspective it's at least as likely that he's a gay dirtbag as it is that my opinions - and those of many others whom I know share them - are wrong. That's just simple logic.

Then you, being a typical flaming liberal, ought to be sticking up for my rights, not those who would trample them!

By the way, just because an opinion isn't popular doesn't make it wrong. The truth is not subject to majority vote. While 78% of Americans claim to be Christians, when you really get down to it, I would bet that it's more like 50-50 as to who really believes in the Christ of the Bible and has actually accepted salvation and entered into a personal relationship with God. But just because theirs might therefore be a minority opinion, that doesn't mean I am about to give up my beliefs nor bow to your rejction of them.

I don't want your made up numbers. You need to back up your statement with hard facts.

Yours is the minority that SHOULD be wiped out. The world would be a lot better off without stereo typing people such as your self.

The numbers I used are in fct cold, hard facts.

Which number do you want to claim I made up? You can sort the member list here by number of posts the same as I just did, and there are a number of places you can go to get an estimate of the U.S. population. Those are the only two numbers I used.

If you want to challenge my calculation, you can certainly do better than that.

Thats why you had no need to even form a opinion of him.

Do unto others B

You get what you give

Is that a personal threat or just a general call to genocide?

Would you kill all bible-believing Christians or just a few hundred million of them?

As much as I think gays are doing wrong, and as vehemently as I may oppose granting them special rights, I have NEVER seriously advocated violence against them.

Here YOU are, calling for mass murder!

That pretty well illustrates the differences in character between your kind and mine.

Take it for what you will.

You are no christian by any means, except in your own little world. That is something I think a lot of people who have had the opportunity to converse with you on these forums would say. But I don't speak for them. I have been around christians all my life and none have even acted remotley the way you do to strangers you have never even met without cause or reason.

But you obviously don't get it: I didn't form any opinion of him! I simply spouted back the logical conclusion to which Naomi's post led. It was an exaggeration meant to illustrate the absurdity of her thinking that she could change my mind about tattoos and piercings just by pointing to her son, whom I don't even know.

Get it now?

Probably not, I know...

How many of you BMIC detractors are getting red-faced mad, and elevating your blood-pressure?

I don't want your estimate.

Not me. I pitty B.

Then look up the numbers for yourself, and see that I am correct. If anything I speak for multiple times the number I arrived at, because I fudged in your favor where fudging was possible.

You're one of the last people whose opinion I would ask on that subject. Try again.

No, you give me the evidence to support your claim.

What you don't get is that is no logical conclusion.

Thats no opinion it is a fact.

And you're God, to judge? Not quite!

*yawn* You bore me. Time to give it a rest for now. Go crawl back under that rock of yours now...

Nope, I feel sorry for him also. Actually, more pity than anything.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH....BLAH BLAH....BLAH

I don't feel sorry or pity him, I just think he's crazy! Poor angry B....

PS - I have 3 Tats, and both my ears pierced several times...I must be a slimball, WAIT! I was in the Army for 7 years, does that count as "OK"?

No, you're a slimball just my dad who protected B's freedoms in the Air Force and the Navy.

NICE! Thanks for clearing that up for me! WOOO!!! SLIMBALL'S RULE!

In the world according to B you would be a "SlimeBall Queer"
