Quote:Anyone else see an attempt by me to discredit others through back-modified posts? I have been known to modify my posts when I notice problems such as spelling and grammar, no need to use edit tags for that. Sometimes I actually do have second thoughts on what I posted, but usually it's about adding clarifying content, and anyway it's when I happen to notice it, not when it's been pointed out! I am trying to edit more carefully these days before I post, but the stark and small-pitch black-over-white text editor causes me stress on the eyes.
Right. Just like there are no mountains in Australia.
Quote:Before we go any further, you need to understand something - I could really care less what you think of me. You have proven to be little more than a humorless bully who brings his issues to other people's threads so that you can believe you are superior to others, and I have no use for that.
Actually, you mean 'couldn't care less'. As for 'humourless bully', do you have any examples of my bullying anyone on these boards?
Quote:Posting what offends those who are extremely offensive is expressive and gratifying, and when that's all you can do then it may be all that matters to you. It also clarifies the position to those who would be censors in my country that we won't be intimidated by them when they try and shit all over our rights to express ourselves freely.
The fact that you can post what you do is pretty good evidence that no one is making a serious effort to curtail your free expression. I didn't say you couldn't post these images here (or anywhere else you'd like), just that doing so isn't helpful.
Quote:Yes, very good! It won't happen immediately in Egypt, but they are watching us in Egypt, and they need to know that we will not kow-tow to their gods, and that we do not believe they, nor anybody is entitled to not be offended! We must show them that if they want respect for the ideas which they believe, then they will not get it automatically abroad! This sort of attitude is what makes monsters out of so many Musliphs and Creatards. We must disabuse them of believing in such an entitlement, because they won't be changing their government until they lose that.
You don't think that images like the ones posted in this thread might have the opposite effect, that is, to harden already repressive regimes against free expression and dissent?
Quote:Oh, please don't be ridiculous - they already think they need to do that, just as they have since the Mayflower first slammed into a little rock in Boston.
The rock is a myth, and it was Plymouth, not Boston. Also, I'm not sure that the actions of Separatists of four centuries ago are particularly relevant to this discussion.
Quote:More people are now questioning these shitheads than ever, and fewer US citizens per capita are offended by porn.
And you have laws in place to protect free expression. *shrug* Also, 'citizen per capita' is a meaningless phrase. Look up 'per capita'.
Quote:Christards have always been evaluating and re-evaluating conditions which would be opportunistic for their political censorship, so I doubt it would hurt to remind them what the actual voters think of that idea.
Same answer.
Quote:"Porn" is really no word which deserves discussion among atheists anyway - like "sin", it's a Christoid invention with the purpose of slamming humanity in its natural state as something "dirty", and that in and of itself is beyond disgusting!
Well, 'porn' is simply short for 'pornography', which is a real word, and invented by Greeks, not Christians. For what it's worth, I don't object to pornography, that isn't what this is about.
Quote:On insanity - we really shouldn't be discussing that, when one of us thinks it's perfectly ok for law enforcement officials to enter and search the homes of a private citizen unannounced without a warrant.
You really are an ignorant little wretch, aren't you?
