  Re: As you sow, so you reap.

  "There is an old saying, "As you sow, so you reap." "
  
  Just to be clear, that "old saying" is actually a passage in the Bible:
  "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Galattions 6:7
  
  Woot for unintentionally evangelizing, vyvyan!

  :::exagerated sigh:::
  
  It really annoys me when a blatant point is missed. It's not a question of who you actually are ("real full name, date of birth, home address, and phone number"), it's because you don't want something to be used against you.
  
  I stand behind what I say, even if it's against popular opinion. You, however, are afraid that you "make statements that could be used against [you]".
  
  Along with Cowboying up, grow up, and wake up too.

  Re: A step further

  sorry for the disjointed way that reads. I kept having to leave and come back, so my train of thought got derailed like 18 times. But the point comes across

  A step further

  "(even those we disagree with)"
  
  I sign all of mine (unless I forget) for a few reasons, including, but not limited to, A: I work at my own machine (assigned not owned), so it's easy to just stay signed in 24/7, and B: it's easier to agree/disagree with someone when you know who it is.
  
  But here's the thing, what kind of a discussion are you having, anyway, if EVERYONE agrees?? I would say change those lines to read "ESPECIALLY those we disagree with". You're not going to change everyone's mind no matter how strongly you feel about an issue, but you might change SOMEONE'S; or they might change yours; but if you can't have a civilized debate over an issue, all you end up with is a bunch of pomp and/or a bitch session.
  
  So if someone doesn't want to (or can't) sign their post, that just means you can get more points of view and therefore have a discussion.

  Re:

  "Seriously, we have people starving all over this planet and you're worried about baby seals?"
  
  Another similar issue is in San Joaquin Valley, Ca. It's pretty much the most fertile place on the planet (at least top 5), and it gets NO water because of the damn Delta Smelt; a 2.5 inch long fish.

  Stop it at the source!

  We must demand that all communication of any kind cease immediately (after you read this posting of course), and that all materiel associated with communication be stricken from existence!
  This includes all works printed, handwritten, drawn, sketched, or otherwise created; yes, even cave drawings.
  Destroy it all now, for the sake of the baby seals!

  Re: Do ya one better

  Besides, unless there's a sign posted saying "Next gas 300 miles", like in death valley. There are rest stops and gas stations all over the frickin place.
  
  And if, for some strange reason, you can't find a facility, you are capable of holding it for another 45 seconds to get out of sight of a school. Which, in case you never attended a school, kids play there on the weekends sometimes.
  
  So, should you're buddy be on the Sex Offenders list? No, but both of you are clearly eligible for the dip-shit list.

  Re: Do ya one better

  Yeah, while I tend to agree that this country is heading that way, unfortunately, that one instance isn't exactly an example of socialism. A law/ordinance gone awry? Surely, but nothing more.

  Re:

  That's an irrelevant question. Whether the list includes crimes against adults or not doesn't change the situation.
  
  File that under Relevance fail, please.

  Re: Sad

  "no effect on community tenure"
  
  Kind of like car alarms. Admit it, when you hear a car alarm the first thing you think is "Someone please shut that shit off"
  
  Their original intent was that when someone heard it you'd run and see who's breaking into a car; maybe even try to stop them.

  Sorry, I guess correct sentence structure/grammar/ENGLISH(!!!!!!) isn't being taught in schools anymore, because I have no freaking clue what he said. Just to be clear, I don't mean that I didn't understand the terms, I mean that it looks as though he randomly grabbed words from somewhere and threw them together.

  Ryan, that is the best argument I've heard yet against the kind of Progressive crap that's spewing out of DC and Progressive-minded/funded media. Thank you.
