Well, it looks like you'll have to be willing to accept disappointment on that count.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I guess you're no different than the Christian mentioned by a friend on another thread who was unwilling to acknowledge the atrocities of Catholicism. I should create a Facebook comedy page just with your comments alone; you would be quite popular in no time.
You make it so painfully clear that you're an American....by your intelligence and cultural biases, I might even go so far as to say you're from the Deep South. If you're not American, all I can say is I have never met any non-American act quite so trashy American as you. You even are more of a culture-less scumbag than the Americans I have met and that's saying quite a lot considering I actually spent some time in the South.
Human sexuality is much more fluid than you Yanks pretend it to be....in many societies throughout history, it has been perfectly acceptable for individuals to be married to the opposite sex yet have familiar relations with the same sex out of wedlock.
You stated you would insult all Moslems by insulting their customs and that would not make you an Islamophobe....that's like saying, "I don't hate African Americans or Mexicans but will insult them for their music, the names they are given, the way they talk, the way they dress, etc."
They can be cajoled into doing the evil bidding because they are drones just like you.
Did you just say you are a free thinker? LMFAO.....that's really rich. If you actually thought about what you were doing, you would open a fucking book and learn something.
Look back at your comments to see just what a warhawk Yank acts like.
They never listen to me.

Yeah, I see a post of yours with italics, I just don't read it. I hope that works great for you.

I'm not usually considered thick. I'm pretty sure no one here but you has any idea of what the lie Bad Wolf is supposed to have told actually is.

It's not particularly humanistic to accuse someone of lying without specifying what the lie was so other people can judge if your accusation is valid.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Polaris, I'm starting to believe that you are psychologically unstable. Your paranoia about everyone and everything makes issues when there aren't any based on your level of paranoia at any given day, and then you.. Drag that shit out until people lose interest. It's ridiculous. Are you adding to discussion here? I say, no. So what is it exactly that you are doing here?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

You may have to agree to disagree. Or you could agree to agree that the other person is just an asshole.

Very well gentlemen, lets get this straight: If this thread continues to be a flamefest, it will be closed and after analisys, those that kept fueling said phenomena, will be punished. My advice is if you detest someone to some point of having not a discussion, but a kindergarden break room fight, use our handy ignore function, its free to use. This is a general speedbump

We all know who is doing the flaming, we all know who is the problem, we all know who isn't discussing anything.
