It's true, a spelling error on my part is simply indefeasible.

But hey, he was crafty, he looked up his misspelled word and then tried to back it in. LOL

Another guy actually fell for it. Proving that there is a sucker born every minute.

OK, so you admit that linking homosexual perversion and skin color was a bad idea.

I'm always puzzled at what a non sequitur

conclusion some people can come up with... and then ascribe that conclusion to the person they're debating.

Trying to make some kind of point about a dead black man in an alley... now that was a bad idea.

If you give a toddler a pencil, he will pick that pencil up with his dominant hand regardless of what you demonstrate to him, and he will do so every time.

But if the world were to go according to your plan, a left handed toddler should be forced to use his right hand because society deems being left handed abnormal. It may not be natural for him, and he may not like it, and it may not be comfortable, but eventually he'll learn to at least act like a right-handed person and then all of society will be happy that he's normal.

Yes, I know. The AOC has been steadily moving UP in states over the last 100 years. Several states recently raised their AOC to 18. Most are 16.

In my state, we recently raised the AOC from 14 to 16. The popular support for this was estimated at 95% of the electorate. It was passed with a 2/3 majority vote in our legislature overriding a governor's veto.

The point is that statutory rape laws are popular and the trend over the last 100 years, and especially in the last 15 years, is to RAISE, not lower the AOC.

Oh, sorry, when you said "I don't use eptithets and I resent your implying that I do", I somehow overlooked the qualifiers "racial" or "sexual".

No problem, I expect no less from a moron.

Do you really think you're going to stop me from telling the truth by calling me names? ...Homosexuals suffer from mental illness. It is not compassionate to tell them they don't.

Back from the grave, ladies and gentlemen, it's Mr. Roy Cohn!

Basic right and wrong has never been as decisive as some here insist it is.

What you mean to say, of course, is that it's never been as easy to determine as some here insist it is. Man always believes he is smart enough to figure out right from wrong. But Man always suffers from the law of unintended consequences because even the very wise cannot see all ends. Only the infinitely wise can.

And He will tell you if you ask Him.

Shalom.

Certain people roam the threads looking for any topic that they can stretch to tortured lenghts to blame whatever ills the world suffers on freedom loving people.

Still can’t defend your silly illogical position eh? Need to blame it on the boogey men whose questions you can’t answer? Stop whining and get a pair. Your silly political system doesn’t work; thank goodness you’re still the irrelevant 2% of our political body.

Mindless nonsense.

Excellent argument!

Nonsense. I believe you purposely misrepresented what I said in your "interpretation".

No, I interepreted it exactly as I saw it. I believe I interpreted it correctly in the context. To whit, when discussing whether there should be a hard and fast age of consent, you stated that it was nonsense to make something a crime if an 18-year-one-month old had sex with a 17-year-twelve-month old. If you did not mean to suggest an age of consent is a bad idea, please elaborate.

Shalom.

You don't even realize when you're the butt of a joke, do you? No wonder trying to explain more complex concepts to you is a waste of time.

Nonsense again. Certain people roam the threads looking for any topic that they can stretch to tortured lenghts to blame whatever ills the world suffers on freedom loving people.

And some people simply read the news and these issues jump up and strike them in the face. I know which one I am and which one I believe Clint is.

I'd suggest that almost everyone on the homosexual threads, either side of the debate, responds more to those than to others because they believe the issue important enough to attempt to pursuade, and they know there are FReepers and lurkers who disagree with them. Thus, a post is likely to cause a spirited debate, which is the kind of thing a person attracted to a forum would be expected to like.

I could try to post a lot on the evils of high taxes, but that would get about as much reaction on FR as offering ice-cream to Eskimos so what would be the point?

We talk about what we care about, but also when we know a discussion will ensue. There's nothing less gratifying than to put a post on a thread and hear nothing in return.

Shalom.

How can posting a quote from the libertarian party platform be considered hatred?

children always have the right to establish their maturity

Sounds like the Liberaltarians want age of consent laws for children who have the capacity to consent to me. Shhhh…don’t tell them, they don’t want know ALL the fine points about their silly political system.

Dude - it has been scientifically demonstrated that handedness is a trait, using an experiment like the one I defined. I recognized a long time ago that handedness was not like skin color, as did scientists, but they did find a way to determine whether a person was right or left handed.

It has never been scientifically demonstrated that sexual perversion is a trait. It has only been scientificaly demonstrated that it is learned behavior. The large number of ex-gays will show you that, as well as explain the particular kind of mental illness it is.

You can keep arguing that social acceptance of homosexuality makes it normal, but your arguments are weak. You had to back-peddle away from your linkage to skin color and move to handedness in one post. What will you turn to now, favorite kind of music?

Shalom.

I have decided on an arbitrary 16 yr old age of consent as far as responding to posters from now on. I won't respond to anyone under that intellectual age from now on. That leaves laughing boy out. :^}

You aren't exactly amazing me with your debate techique or rapier wit.

Is there a comment you'd like to make regarding the quote Roscoe gave you?

That's what we do on FR, debate, not call people Trolls.

I don't know if you have a history with Roscoe, or if he was here earlier, but by your admission this was the first time you saw him on this thread and you called him a "hatred troll" without discussing his point.

Shalom.
