CHALLENGE: CHOOSE A SINGLE TOPIC AND DISCUSS IT WITHOUT THROWING INSULTS OR NAME CALLING.

You have done a lot more than just "respond in kind". You are the only poster on this board who has invited others on this board to come see you in Harlem (twice by my count). And you weren't inviting them to Harlem for a friendly visit either. Originally Posted by NiceGuy53

So what you are saying is actually not true at all.

You are one of the very few who are quick to threaten physical violence against those you disagree with.

Your a fucking loser.

+1, JB.

BTW, your Yeats tag is spot on for what's happening in this country...

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction (Boehner, McConnell,...), while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. (OWS, Soros, unions, Fluke,...)

I think so too. I changed my signature quote after Obama won re-election. The left is full of passionate intensity. For many people on the left, their politics is their religion. I think the left's belief that a socialist utopia is possible is what motivates them and makes them so zealous.

Those who believe in God, believe that Heaven exists in the afterlife, and can not be attained in this world. The atheistic left fills the hole in their soul with Marxist nonsense that Man is perfectable that we can create a utopia in this world.

My politics are not my religion at all, not even close.

I do believe in God and HIS only son Jesus

This concept that we believe in Marxist ideas and a 'perfectible' man and utopia is just wrong. How can you assume such a thing about people you don't know.

What we believe in, as a BIBLICAL principle...is JUSTICE.....paricularly, SOCIAL JUSTICE. And so did the Lord.

Disagree with us. But to assume how we feel, what we believe is insulting and it's wrong.

Joe, I'm afraid you are wrong on this one. Socialist utopias exist all over the world. Even today, Jeffrey Immelt was touting what a great place China is. And then there is Cuba, with the greatest health system in the world, according to Michael Moore. And don't forget the up and coming North Korea, or the beautiful life that can be had in Venezuela, according to Sean Penn.

See how well socialism works? That's why the Soviet Union continues to thrive.

This thread is VERY VERY telling.

I posted a simple challenge, and instead of people saying they can or can not do it, they attack the poster.

You could have even chosen the topic yourself.

I have my answer, the people who attacked me here have proven they are incapable of what I am proposing in this forum. They are now making it about me instead of themselves, or at least they are trying. But this thread is now a mouse trap, and the cheese is still on the bait.

Like I told Joe, COG. Have no worries, I have a remedy. Originally Posted by markroxny

Now that I’ve insulted you, can’t you see how open minded and inclusive I am?? It’s not my fault you don’t think what I said is funny, you should really have a better sense of humor."


Yawn...

And now KMR is claiming he is spouting his hate and vitriol in the name of Jesus. Good god, how much more ridiculous can he get?

Like I said, you guys are making this thread about me.

VERY telling.

Ok, let it go then.

YOU made it about you, KMR. What an idiot. Oh, I forgot, you are the "morally superior" one, because you post in Jesus' name.

Hey, the trap is set, bring it on! The suspense is killing me!

YOU made it about you, KMR. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

Do you believe in God COG?

I'll start.

Is there such a thing as an absolute truth?
And you frigging knuckleheads better not insult me.

Is the following a viable life philosophy?

Don’t live life – Bite off huge chunks of it and leave the crumbs for others.
Enjoy women – That’s why they’re on Earth. The only reason.
Drink, from sun up to sun down, every damn day.
Smoke – It’s breathing, only better.
Swear – God damn right!
Eat well and to excess.
Hunt – Animals are here for man’s enjoyment, killing enjoyment.
Fish – See “Hunt” above, substitute “animals” with “fish”.
Fight – There’s not a soul on Earth that doesn’t need a good ass kicking.
Gamble – Wager money, goods, services, and loved ones.
Own the best and plenty of it.
Travel as much as possible to enjoy all the above.

You do not have a leg to stand on here and you know it!

Let's say I am the absolute worst person on the entire earth. Ok, so does that mean that no one here can have a discussion without personal attacks because Mark Rox is so horrible?

Well, I already have my answer don't I.
