You avoiding the issues I've brought up is all the thanks I need. It's like a boxer not getting off his stool... you just can't answer the bell  ;D

This is what Jehovah's Witnesses are fairly well known for. They're actually trained to do stuff like this- if they can't answer the question, they completely avoid the issue and start quoting their various sources in an attempt to change the subject. I've seen it in real life and I've seen it with Hitch, so I'm honestly glad it's posted for all to see.(

Haha.. I've had Jehovah's Witnesses ask to leave my house. They ask to come in, so I let them, but for some reason, they always have some place they really need to go not too long after we start talking hahaha. This happened with a couple of nuns too. Maybe it's something I said.  :dontknow:

Is this a 'law' written somewhere official?

In the realms of reality! It should be common sense. But I mean...if you're on shrooms...whateva!

Hmm ... maybe the Shrooms-World is the real, & we're all just sharing in one boring dream! (Like in Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION), Hmm?

Aaaand there's your solipsism. We're all just living in a dream because all that exists is our minds and yadda yadda...

...like a dream, the solipsist's subconscious mind creates a world which the solipsist's conscious mind might not have chosen but has no control over changing.

This, like I said before, leads to a pointless conversation, because we still would have to adhere to the rules of the world we do exist in. So if we're trapped in the mind of just one person, a big red dog, or the interactions of several minds, all that matters is the rules of the world we do exist in no matter what that world is.

Avoidance coping

In psychology, avoidance coping, or escape coping, is a maladaptive coping mechanism[1] characterized by the effort to avoid dealing with a stressor.[2] Coping refers to behaviors that attempt to protect oneself from psychological damage.[3] Variations of avoidance coping include modifying or eliminating the conditions that gave rise to the problem and changing the perception of an experience in a way that neutralizes the problem.[3]

Mr Johnson...seriously,keep your posts short.It bores me to tears how you rant on and just say the same stuff!!

Trust me,i know how feel about bible etc.My replys to you are for others to learn....NOT to debate or convince you!!

http://youtu.be/wcEAD3G8wBE

You're an unbelievable coward. You can't defend your moronic beliefs nor the morally bankrupt source of them so you pretend that was never your goal in the first place. Spare me. You are transparent and empty.

All anyone could possibly learn from you is immorality and  cowardice. I don't give a damn about your bible. I care about how your refusal to use your brain affects people's lives. You don't care about people. You and your ilk disgust me.

Short enough for you?

Solipsism ... :-P ... Soooooooooooooo-Lipz :-P ...

Maybe I am ... sounds fun ... Did George Lucas ever 'state' that it WAS fictitious?

Only if spinning around in circles is your idea of fun.

He wouldn't have to state that it's fictitious, he'd only have to state if it was not. If this were not the case, you'd have to put "not based on a true story" on most movies. Movies were created to put people's imaginations on display. So, the default would be "fictitious unless stated otherwise".

Well Mr Johnson I guess I got my moneys worth asking you that.

So lemme get this straight <no pun intended>....anyone using protection is having safe sex?

So as long as I bring a slingshot in to the bedroom with my wife I can do anything to her?

Ya see,sometimes you can answer someone based on their answers and be influenced on what to say and rather than argue or debate the issue be entertaining to the rest reading this.

Falconer already beat me to the S&M quip, so I'll just address the fact that your attempt at humor is only to avoid the subject. If your points were valid, there'd be no need for distractions.

When you don't understand something due to someone being unclear, you should express that you don't understand so that you may gain clarification as opposed to your current approach of not only pretending you understand but insisting you have some insight on a subject when it can easily be proven that you clearly don't, spout uneducated nonsense, receive correct verifiable information but promptly ignore it because you would have to admit to embracing idiotic beliefs all of your life, continue to sound like a fool and wallow in ignorance like a pig in slop. 

So basically,Like Falconeer,you consider yourself so intellectually superior,that us fleas are beneath you with our primitive beliefs and are not worthy of your great wisdom.

I swear,I've seen arrogance in Atheists in my time in cyberspace,but this place sure knows how to breed 'em. 

The projection is strong with this one.

The very first sentence is about how I deal with not understanding things. Why would someone claiming such intellectual prowess admit to not understanding something? That's not stated in this paragraph nor in anything I've read in posts by Falconer... but anyway, been there, fielded that...

Btw, without fail, no matter the forum, online or otherwise, believers will always whip out "he's so arrogant" or "he thinks he knows everything". This is of course an ad hominem. It's very high school. I liken it to a pretty girl who all the guys are into, walking by another group of girls. She says nothing and is just minding her business, but what's the first thing that comes out of the other girls mouths? "She thinks she's all that!" She's just walking by! YOU must think she's "all that" and you don't compare. Instead of acknowledging this inadequacy, you instead project it on to her where it manifests itself (in your head) as her being conceited. You can now, of course, proceed to attack this short coming "she" has.

The only one talking about how "intellectually superior" we are, is you... on more than one occasion I might add. This says way more about you than us. You're the guy that says "everywhere I go, it always smells terrible", and never once thinks to check the bottom of your own shoes.

I have brought this up before.I am not sold on the fact that Mr Johnson and Falconer are atheists. And as I said when you see their distaste,distain and just overall dislike for a Creator,how can you feel that way about someone you didn't think existed?

I'm sure, as is the case with most Christians that try to run this tired line, you have some warped idea of what atheism is which would be why you're not "sold". I discuss god the same way I discuss any villain in any book, play or movie. When you discuss Star Wars, when talking about Darth Vader, do you start off every sentence with "Though I don't believe Darth actually exists..."?

My distaste and disdain is for people like you. You spout this garbage and have no concern for the fact that this actually affects people's lives. Homosexuals are your relatives, your friends, your coworkers... they are real people. They are soldiers, police, fire fighters, babysitters, and teachers. You have the nerve to admonish others for being cafeteria Christians when that's all you are. You pick and chose what you want believe. You're a hypocrit. The passages on slavery and homosexuality are both in Leviticus yet you only chose to focus on one of those. I wonder why that is? You're a coward. Either own it all or own none of it. When this is pointed out to you, instead of addressing it head on (because you know you can't reconcile this), you, like a coward, want to change the subject to the parts of the bible that make you feel all warm and fuzzy in side...

Its also funny how they choose parts of the bible that they think makes God look cruel.

I don't have to make your god look cruel, the bible does that without my help. You ignore it because you can't reconcile what you want to believe with what's actually there.

Why don't they look at the definition of Love in Corinthians?You wont find a better one for a word that is taken for granted in this world.Or the fact that God allowed A&E to have off-spring?So ungrateful for being born.Or that food tastes so good or whats more beautiful than a sunset?

Why don't you look at the fact that Hitler was a painter? Some serial killers give to charity too. I'm grateful for my parents and cooks that make such great food and the farmers that grow it.

I could go on and on but I need not.

Please don't. You should've never started. Keep your head in your bible learning wonderful things like not suffering witches to live and I'll keep refusing to suffer fools. We'll see which piece of advice turns out to be more useful.

So you've seen STAR WARS & I've STAR WARS, therefore The Force must be the ultimate power in the universe :-?

Huh? No- I'd hope to think we both know it's a fictitious movie. ...

How do we KNOW it's fictitious? How do we KNOW George Lucas wasn't recounting the actual history of 'a galaxy far-far away'?

If he stated this, he would have to provide evidence for it. He hasn't stated it, therefore there's no reason to even consider it. The burden of proof would fall on him since he's the one making that claim. Until he fulfills his burden, there's no reason to take it seriously.

I can see now, you're just going to start delving into solipsism which will lead to a pretty pointless conversation.

Maybe advertisers are getting their budgets together since this is the beginning of the year and deciding on where to spend their ad dollars. Maybe it's not bringing them the traffic they hoped for. I don't know, but I'll be typing my behind off in the meantime.

This is why sometimes, all I can do is make fun. It's impossible to have a discussion or debate with a brick wall. But of course, I'm the a-hole at that point

Don't let their insecurities stop you from discussing with the other people here who are actually interested in the topic!

Don't worry, never have, never will.  :)

I think they ran out of them who knows time to type my life away on transcriptions to make up the difference

I just came back here from transcribing business cards. I went back to the videos and saw another 1/2 cent video, clicked on that then went to radio loyalty. That didn't load, so I went to tasks. Earned a few pennies from tasks then saw the transcription tab. Didn't know it existed until today but said "this is going to have to be my new go-to source". I have to dedicate a little more time to it than I did with the videos, but luckily it's easy and goes smoothly even though it may take a little longer.

After writing this, I checked the vid section again and had one half cent vid, but that was it. It's completely blank again. Guess the well has run dry.

Also, I hope it's understood that the title of this thread is my take on "Where have all the cowboys gone?" by Paula Cole and no one thinks I'm just some crazy person talking about doodoo  :silly:

Just want o know if it is just me, but I have zero videos listed to click on. ZERO. Is this the case for anyone else? It happened last night and I figured it'd be different this morning but, nope. What about you?

When many think gays can have safe sex it really isn't worth discussing the issue anymore cos it tells me just how far gone their morals are.

This isn't a moral issue, it's a mental capacity issue. "Safe sex" is simply using protection while having sex. So, if homosexuals use protection while having sex, guess what? They're having safe sex  :o

I guess I get your point though, given that heterosexuals only have sex in wedlock from arranged marriages (to their cousins of course to keep with the teachings of the bible), only for the purposes of procreation with one partner their entire lives, and only in missionary position through a hole in a sheet. This is of course why heterosexual's never contract STD's and never have kids out of wedlock.

Also I understand they could give a dam about what bible say about this.There are posts here that make Jesus sound like hes neutral re this.LOL.Do you really think he would go against what his father viewed as a sin?So not only do you contend with atheists,non-beleivers etc.....you deal with some who write their own rules re bible.

Let me get this straight (as opposed to getting it gay...'cause that's unsafe): The bible condones slavery, treats women like crap, kids can be stone to death for being disobedient, contains wonderful tales of god sending she-bears to kill kids because they were teasing a bald man as well god killing the first born sons of Egypt for the transgressions of their parents, and sacrifices his own son to himself (wow, your god really hates kids) to appease himself, but what really sticks in your craw is gay people touching each other with their cooties? This is all fine with you but you have the nerve to lecture others on morality?

Please look up the words "irony" and "hypocrisy" given that you absolutely must stand against homosexuality because the bible says so, but the immorality of murder and destruction are in the same damn book and are condoned or committed by your god, yet this is fine with you and you say it's others "who write their own rules re bible"? That fog of ignorance and hypocrisy you live in must be choking off oxygen to your brain.

BTW Mr Johnson i meant to ask you...being that you seem to reply to posts that you dont understand,what happens when you understand one?

Write a novel??

Well, it's not surprising that you and your friend JJ find this amusing giving that neither of you can grasp this simple concept:

When you don't understand something due to someone being unclear, you should express that you don't understand so that you may gain clarification as opposed to your current approach of not only pretending you understand but insisting you have some insight on a subject when it can easily be proven that you clearly don't, spout uneducated nonsense, receive correct verifiable information but promptly ignore it because you would have to admit to embracing idiotic beliefs all of your life, continue to sound like a fool and wallow in ignorance like a pig in slop. 

So no, I don't need to write a novel when I understand something. A paragraph or so will do. Thanks for your inquiry into how I approach understanding... if only you'd apply this same curiosity to how all human beings and the world work. I look forward to the day when you two understand anything at all.

Practicing safe sex being gay????

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose when you played <if you did> baseball when you were out you were really safe!!!!

Again permit me......LOL!!!!

Wow, you gleefully wallow in ignorance. You actually think the things you say make sense. It's absolutely unreal.

I follow my beliefs as a christian and respect the rights of others to live their life as they choose, after all Jesus did not judge so why should I.

What they do in the privacy of their own homes is fine ... UNTIL IT BECOMES A PUBLIC AFFAIR! When that happens, your children see it and--not being firmly indoctrinated 'in your image' yet--they think it's okay for them (just like swear-words & violence in today's entertainment).

Yes, this is why gay kids only come from gay homes, living in gay societies.  ::)

So each homosexual thinks IT ITSELF is inventing 'coming out'?

I don't even understand what you're saying here.
