I fear these idiots! Thank God for angels!

I can't help but feel like this part of the poast was directed towards me. No where did I say women can't use logic like men, or that they all base their decisions on emotions. That's you twisting words again and trying to disprove an argument by making it seem like it's a bigoted view. In this case, this particular woman is using emotion in her judgement. A man doesn't decide something is a fact either - a fact is a damn fact whether it's a man or a woman that is relaying that fact. And the fact is that Islamic Extremists have killed a lot more people than WBC people.
Do you think MEN don't make their decisions based on emotions, too? Human beings have no choice but act and feel emotion as long as we have a pulse in these bodies.

I'm not "twisting words" at all. I'm using the words and attitudes you're tossing-out here. This bullshit about men lacking emotion and not acting on emotion is just that- BULL SHIT!
 
you're not being sexist. Noooooo!
You're right, I'm not.

Do you not realize that your OWN argument is just as "emotion-based" as hers?
No, it isn't. It's based on black-and-white numbers. It's based on number of murders committed by Muslims vs. number of murders committed by WBC. Even if I let you claim Rudolph as a Christian extremist, the number of victims claimed by Muslim extremists vs. Christian extremist in this country in the past 30 years is vastly, vastly, vastly one-sided.
 
The WBC people are really all talk and no walk. That doesn't mean that they pose no threat to society, however.

Yes. That's exactly what it means. No threat to society...unless of course big words can hurt your little feelings. So why on earth would anyone be afraid of people because of what they think or say? Who gives a shit what they think? Why would anyone take time from their day to care about what WBC people think? That's bizarre to me.

LOL this is strum's tactic. I call it the "zoom out" approach. When he can't win the current argument, he'll just zoom out to the most macro level possible and be like, "well, all human beings use emotions to make decisions...." That has nothing to do with what we are talking about.

Well, here we are, all caring about it! This thread has 2 full pages and other threads have pages where we apparently are all "caring about" them. If they had no effect on our society, we wouldn't be talking about them. Many of you have already prided yourselves on how they're despicable and cringe worthy. I hate to tell ya, but that is CARING about them. That is an example of them having an impact. Their presence and behavior are setting a standard. You sure as hell BETTER care about them.

Dude... this is NOT about "winning" or "losing" an argument! Sheezus!
It's about seeing things from all angles and considering them and how they play a role in your understanding. DO you think some bell rings and some voice says "You win this argument" in these threads? No one wins or loses these discussions. Well, I take that back... for some people here, it IS about winning or losing. Their egos cannot fathom being wrong, or not knowing everything already.
 
@Hark_The_Sound_2010 what odds can I get on strum and chick actually being the same person?

I'd put it at 10/1 as of now. The reason being that Strum says this:

They're different than the Islamic radicals in that the Islamic radicals might just as soon blow your street up as protest your funeral.

But he doesn't fully jump the shark and say that the protesting of the funerals are scarier and more damaging than the blowing up of the street. If/when he does that - the odds will move to even money - so get your wagers in now while the price is good.

Oh, no! People who think alike must be the same person. I love that cop-out.

That's it! You got me. I've decided to have an alternative name here and pretend to be female. I actually welcome some varying opinions. You guys are threatened by it and go to some conspiracy that I've cloned myself.
 
I must have more estrogen than the other ball-sacks in here.

I did find it interesting how the presence of a female finally brought-out the "well, you're a woman and women can't use logic like men. They base their decisions on emotions." I love that false sense of superiority based on some bullshit another man decided was a "fact." Archie Bunker is alive and well here in OOTB.

What's really sad to me is; this disregard for the POWER of love. They scoff at the notion that LOVE is a mechanism for the betterment of a society because they can't fit it into some plan to out-hate something that threatens them. We need more Jesus'es, and fast. Can you imagine Jesus of Nazareth in here? They'd be ridiculing him up one thread and down the other. "Love people? Are you crazy? This is reality, dude! You're living in a fantasy world." Then, on Sundays, they go to church and think they follow Him and bash people who call themselves atheists. Meanwhile, the atheists are trying to get people to stop hating and killing each other. At least God has a sense of humor.

Jesus loved everyone so I don't have to. Thank you Jesus.

@strummingram we are arguing with her emotion-based argument because of its naivety and recklessness, not because it comes from a woman. Now you're just conflating issues.

Of course he is. That's all he does. That dude would cease to exist if one day we just all decided to adopt his philosophy. He'd have no one to protest to anymore and his life would cease to have meaning.

I don't. At all. Their thoughts have no bearing on my life whatsoever.

I have tons of sources to protest and disagree.
 
Strum -- would you say the sun is yellow or orange? Just curious.

Please, allow me:

"There is no difference in the colors. It's how the human mind interprets what you're seeing. In other words, it's both yellow and orange. You can believe it's just orange if you want to. But you're just scared to face the reality that it's a combination and that we are all just a combination of colors that have bled together. It's so arrogant of the orange camp to believe there is no yellow in the sun and vice versa. But please, continue thinking it's just one or the other. That's how we got in this mess to begin with."

Well, to reiterate, I don't think you're the same person unless you come out and say that you think that the hate speech from the WBC is worse than the mass killings of the Islamic Extremists. You haven't done that yet - so until you do, I think you're different people.

And it's not that we're threatened by it. It's that I love calling people morons - and calling the others on here a moron for having a perfectly reasonable argument makes me look like the moron. So I choose to call people with terrible rationalizations of arguments morons.

Hey! You're like the Peter to my Jesus. Jesus had a Peter, I got a Dick!

Listen, asswipe.... you are more than welcome to call me personally and see I am not a man! I have no problem with it at all. Strum has a way better vocabulary than I do for one thing... so you're saying people who share ideals and such are the same people???? so are you all really GSD, Tarheelnation???????? give me a damn break! I'm glad there is at least one person who gets SOME of what I am saying. You guys just continue on with your way as it clearly is working!

Nooo, see... these guys are prone to making alternate names on here. They've done it to annoy other Tar Heels posters. They get different accounts and names to play stealth internet army like 9-year-olds, or even go so far as to pretend to be other people for extended periods, evidently. I have ONE account. Always have, always will.

Oh okay, gotcha. Maybe I will start an alternate account and be my evil twin just for sh*ts and giggles! LOL.... ain't nobody around here got time for that!
 
So which is it dude? Do you have a dick or don't you. Just for the record, right now it's 3-1 that you don't.
I want better odds, I wanna bigger pay-off. But, for now, let's just say that, unlike you, I don't need a magnifying glass either way.

I'm not sure a second account is a good idea for you. You seem to be struggling to manage your first. This isn't amateur hour at the Apollo, sweetheart.

I missed out on the new name making and avatar switcharoo from a couple months back and have been kicking myself ever since. Can we do a version 2.0 of that hilarity some time soon?
