Dude, your fame just keeps spreading. You can add this to your list
of honor badges along with the comp.dsp blacklist.

i *try* not to be nasty. i really do. but when there is a perfectly
good *dictionary* definition for "Intelligent design", i see no reason
to replace it with "attack on evolution" or simply as the teleological
argument. the article is written and controlled by people who simply
hate ID (i don't support ID myself, as promoted by the Discovery
Institute) who are simply not willing to admit that their own shit
stinks. i had trouble putting a lid on the obvious "political
correctness" imposed on the articles on Marriage and Homophobia by a
clear LGBT influence group. talk about liberal fascism.

thank you.

Don't ever change, Robert. The world has far too few people who have
the balls to speak their peace without regard to political correctness
or the prevailing socio-political wind.

Hi r b-j,

Liberals, the hard-core ones at least, want
a society:

"where tolerance is is strictly enforced."

Ha ha. I love that phrase.

In a country where a black man still gets killed by being dragged
behind a car by chains and a gay man gets beaten to death because of
"gay panic", I think such an idea may be still good for a while.

Here's another ha-ha for you: "I'm a pacifist. My goal is to kill all
advocates of violence."

Wrong. The PC concept of tolerance belongs in the shitpile. Justice,
however, (e.g., for murder) is always appropriate.

Your concept of justice seems to indicate vengeance or punishment
which does no good to the victim. As far as I am concerned justice is
served when the victim is made whole again which is quite difficult if
one is dead. One way accomplish it is to teach people tolerance so no
one gets killed because they're black or gay or ...

You realize that both those actions are already 100% illegal, no new laws
needed... right?
