false next poster has a garden gnome that often wanders into their neighbor's yard late at night and makes lewd suggestions to their pink flamingo statues.

thank goodness, i thought i was stuck here forever. now all i have to do is wait 50 million years and it will all disappear. or will i have to come back in 50 million years to delete the account? you weren't very clear on that point.

while i've given up on little bucky, i'll explain this to you in hopes that you've got more brains than he. the subject was the necessity of objective evidence to prove moral issues. the quote that bucky has chosen to take out of context had to do with the simple fact that the evidence of the...

i know i've offended a few people here, though most of them are long since gone. hell, you can't hang around a forum without breaking a few eggs. however, i'm not the least bit sorry. every one of them deserved what they got and i would gladly do it all over again.

all of this probably wouldn't have been so hard if you hadn't waited until he was thirty to tell him the cold, hard truth.

but at least we know they all care deeply about.... uh, what was it they were doing???

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those...

yeah, you got the gist of it. despite his seeming ignorance on so many subjects, i think bucky got it too. his abuse of quotes has become a favorite tactic of those who realize their cause is lost, devotees of modern american liberalism in particular. when all else fails, call the opponent a...

wow, i got the two threads confused too. once little bucky and his ilk start tossing around their semi-literate insults all of these things look the same. i'm still not sure why you're bothering with his drivel. if you want to get to the truth of any matter it is always best to go to a source...

heaven help the honest man who takes these fools seriously. they are sort of like those little kids you see at wal-mart, misbehaving in hopes of getting mommy's attention. they keep screaming "look at me, look at me, look at me" and get some perverse satisfaction when someone finally takes the...

are you just now figuring this out? during my previous sojourns in these forums i found that little bucky is all you claim and far less. his is a small, angry little mind that sees the world through green tinted glasses and ridicules all that he does not understand. for such people, tolerance...

funny, i thought we had already determined that the indiscriminate slaughter of innocents was morally reprehensible. i don't know anyone sane who would disagree. do you? i would imagine there are a few suicide bombers who might be said to disagree, but their justifications are more a matter...

we endure these children because there is no escaping them. responding to them is like swatting at a cloud of gnats, an exercise in futility. yes; i sometime flail away at them, but it's more for fun than for any rational purpose. i have yet to decide whether this one is just another little...

tell me, am i ticketing and arresting anyone? no, it is society that afflicts us with often arbitrary rules and regulations and punishes us when we overstep the bounds of these laws. many times these will have a positive effect, necessary tyrannies inflicted on us by illegitimate authority...

....and i give you an example of such tedium.

if you take these statements in the context of "the ends justify the means" it starts to make a little sense. it also helps to accept that the state is god and you own nothing, not even yourself. the belief that the un isn't a toothless hag, controlled by petty bureaucrats and envious third...

i may be a bit long winded at times:roll:, but i do appreciate a bit of back and forth that doesn't degenerate into a name calling contest. it isn't that i'm above the occasional insult, it just gets so tedious.:mrgreen:

i realize that all this is a bit above your pay grade, but do try to keep up or maybe just grow up. where was it i quoted or even mentioned the bible? do you consider morality to be irrelevant religious claptrap? for your edification - i'm no bible banger. in fact, i'm an atheist of long...

to begin with... at no time did i suggest initiating force to inflict my morality on anyone else. in fact, i clearly stated that this is a subject that goes beyond mere legality. its answer lies more in abating society's moral decay than in legislative prohibitions or judicial mandates. we...

if you're looking for some verifiable ultimate truth, don't bother. the answer you are asking for is right there in the question. individual morality, being a personal interpretation of the greater societal ethos, is entirely subjective. even society's views on right and wrong are subjective...
