What is that forward slash supposed to mean?

[deez nuts]

my muslim friend once told me that when men start pretending to be women; it's a sign that the end of the world is coming.

[Shogun Empress]

Get off my imaginary dick.

[deez nuts]

Get off my imaginary dick.

i prefer to think of it as a fully engorged extremely large aroused clit.

don't burst my bubble. thanks.

[bluemonq]

well, out of the Seven Deadly Sins(tm) [pride, gluttony, envy, avarice, sloth, lechery, and anger... hmm, looks like i hit 6 out of 7], i think the worst would be pride. but just in general i'd think it would be disloyalty.

On the same plain: Child abuse, especially sexual, rape, execution still murder of innocents, that sort of stuff.

After that -- maybe Bush holding hands with that dignitary from Saudia Arabia. :frown:

[Hiroshi2]

IMO, rape, particulary raping kids. Also, murdering kids. Murder IMO is almost justified in certain situations, but there's nothing a child could do that could even come close to warranting that.

[applehead]

envy.
it builds slowly inside.
and then makes you want to do bad things.
to other people.

I too oppose abortion. Murdering the innocent and defenseless is the worst.

Uh-oh, here it comes!

[nola]

BORRRRING! Hiroshi did not even bring up abortion. If ye110man were a woman would he still be this adamant and outspoken about the subject? No. And he'd at least be sensitive to the fact that it annoys the hell out of half his audience here and not post about it at all. And why are all the outspoken advocates of the pro-life position men? Because they're insensitive assholes who do not mind annoying the hell out of half their audience.

[bluemonq]

well, at this rate shogun, looks like you might have yet another thread closed. i mean, at this point, it's just going to go off a cliff.

[nola]

Pride is the worst sin because it leads to the other six deadly sins.

So, that's what we were doing in Iraq?

Murdering the innocent and defenseless? Aborted for oil. :frown: And then we didn't even get the oil contracts we were seeking.

Are they? It hasn't been so in my experience -- I know (and know of) several very outspoken pro-life women. Patricia Heaton, for instance.

And after all, IIRC the majority of women (and people) in the world are probably pro-life, even though a majority of women (and people) in the US are pro-choice.

I think ye110man, like a good Catholic, was indeed against the Iraq war.

[hooligan]

Being pro-choice doesn't necessary mean you're not pro-life. That's what I've always thought. Statistics show that half of all abortions per year are done illegally. So, even though there might be a large proportion of pro-lifers, there's still abortions.

If we ban abortions, only the terrorists will have abortions.

I think ye110man, like a good Catholic, was indeed against the Iraq war.

And unlike a good Catholic, supports free trade, which Pope John Paul II cautioned against.

John Paul's role in the fall of communism was a subtle but crucial one. His visit to Poland in 1979, eight months after his elevation to the papal throne, saw the first mass gatherings ever witnessed in the communist state, sparking a chain of events that led to the eventual crumbling of Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski's regime 10 years later.

His stand against what he saw as the moral failure of Western capitalism, on the other hand, was notably less successful.

As long as morality is profitable!

[golden_buns]

Pretending to be a girl on the net.

People burn in hell for that

[nola]

I don't know of any outspoken female pro-life activists. Who are the others, besides Patricia Heaton?

[Yeahman]

Lying is also a sin. Women are more likely to be pro-life than men in the US. Half of all American women are pro-life.
"Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade fame is an outspoken pro-lifer. Mother Teresa was extremely outspoken making it the central theme of her Nobel Peace prize acceptance speech. There's Elizabeth Dole...
Here's some more: Feminists for Life Celebrates Pro-Life Women (http://www.euthanasia.com/feminist.html)

The innocent and defenseless weren't the targets but either way I opposed the war too.

What? Murder occurs even though it's illegal. That doesn't mean we should legalize it.

That link doesn't make any mention of free trade.

They were if they got in the way or happened to be in the way.

"Collateral damage" is just a euphemism.

[hooligan]

I guess liberal capitalism isn't defined as free trade.

[kimpossible]

This is whatever. There are other threads in Rant which cover war and abortion. Stick to the topic which is pride, gluttony, envy, avarice, sloth, lechery, and anger.

Problem is forum and staying on topic. Gentle musings or whatever the hell it says on the forum description.

[Meki]

I say avarice... B/c it leads to everything else... For instance, if you wanted all the money in the world & would do just about anything for it then it could easily lead to pride, gluttony, envy, sloth, lechery, and wrath.

[kpih]

Wasting good booze...

Oh wait. That's not the point I guess?

So drunkeness? No?

Bring back the prohibition! Then there will be no sins!

[Filiprish]

$$Greed$$?

That's precisely what "targeting" is not.

Even if the Pope was against free trade and neoliberalism -- which that link doesn't make clear -- it would just be his opinion, and not Catholic dogma.

Just War theory is Catholic dogma.

[hooligan]

It isn't.

I said that, and all right, as long as it isn't against dogma, you can do no wrong.

I wasn't talking about abortion. I was talking about killing kids that have already been born, but are still, you know...................kids. Like all young and shit.


Like the rapper C-Murder, he's currently serving a life sentence for murdering a 12-year-old boy. WTF could a 12-year-old boy do to a grown man to justify killing him? C-Murder claimed the boy was talking shit to him outside the club (I guess he wasn't in the club, since he was only 12, but that's besides the point).



Don't you think that says something about you if you're a grown man in his mid, to late 20s and you go shoot a 12-year-old boy for trying to raise up on you?


Shit like that.....................................yeah. You HAVE to pay for that. Period.

Off-topic: I haven't seen Patricia Heaton speak on the pro-life position. I've never seen Liddy Dole speak out against abortion in the media. Republican women often misrepresent women's views. Mother Teresa was a pawn of the Catholic faith especially its view on abortion. I'll give you Jane Roe because I've actually seen her in the media speak out against abortion. More importantly, why are the most outspoken pro-lifers on YW men? Why is the most outspoken pro-lifer on YW a man? End of abortion rant.

Maybe pride isn't the only one to lead to the other six sins but it's been called the worst of the deadly sins.

There's only one outspoken pro-lifer on YW. Go to conservative forums and you'll find plenty of pro-life women.

[Napoleon Chynamite]

I think one interesting fact that I've mentioned again and again is the existence of a surprisingly small disparity that exists between male and female opinions regarding abortion according to national polls and data. You'd think a lot more women would support abortion in comparison to men, but there goes the power of personal ideology and moral framework.

I've got to echo nola on pride being one of the worse sins.

[nola]

I mean mainstream media and forums not conservative forums that people such as yourself go out of their way to read. Almost all the spokespeople for the pro-life position, I mean people whose main or #1 issue is abortion, such as yourself or Jane Roe, are men. Men should mind their own business on this issue since they don't carry, give birth to or raise children. Men are also not held responsible for contraception for the most part or lack thereof. Culturally men are not held accountable for sexual activity that is they are not discouraged from having sex quite the contrary while women are discouraged from having sex. Sexual activity is also almost always blamed on women as if it's their responsibility if sexual activity occurs. In other words men are not held accountable for contraception or sexual activity while women are. In light of all this men should stfu on the subject of abortion and make their #1 issue anti-war where they will fight with men instead of women (because they can't get laid for the first time because they wear wifebeaters and chainsmoke and look like Old Dirty Bastard of whatever your deal is). In sum, abortion is a women's issue because women are responsible for contraception, for sexual intercourse, for carrying children, for birthing children and for raising children. In other words it's not a men's issue so men should stay out of it. If there are pro-life women I would feel better if they spoke up in the media instead. Fighting for peace and against war would save as many lives.

These musings are not gentle. Closing.
