Okay so second time typing this.

To clear things up a little, Rocket's warning was an informal one (from me) and I suspect the one from LC was similar. Dustin, if you believe rocket is harassing you then it would make it a lot easier if you can compile a list of threads/posts/PMs through screenshots/direct links. Forward this to myself, LC or Cheat and we will look into it.


That picture always amuses me.

The "Freedom of Speech" thing is blown out of so many proportions.  If I recall correctly (I'll look it up later, I've got morning chores to do) it was initially installed in our Government so that a person could freely express themselves in council chambers without the wrath of the Government falling on them.

That does not mean, however, you can shout "FIRE" in a crowded theater and cause a panic.

Same goes for hate speech.  What "muh free speeches" people fail to realize is the emotional trauma, harm, and social discord that comes from people like the WBC.  As you probably saw in that thread, a man attacked a church member during his soldier brother's funeral because the protestor was mocking his brother, discrediting his service, and saying, "I'm glad the stupid faggot is dead."  The soldier got soundly punished while the protestor got to walk away laughing.

This article is a nice thing to read through, especially the parts from the Fordham Law Professor:  While free speech protects people from harm, it allows unlimited emotional harm.

They could eat of any tree, but the one bearing the knowlege of good and evil.

That's it. One tree.

That's one thing that always bugged me:  Why was God such a fucking asshole as to put a tree like that in the middle of a field and tell Adam and Eve, "You better not touch that, that's the cookie jar.  Keep your hands off of it."

And then when they did, he fucking cast them out and cursed their descendants and the whole of Earth.  Like an asshole.
And literally make the one being that wanted to give you some cookies the most evil being in existence.

Here's where perspective matters. God is good, and righteous. Sin, is the opposite of that: unrighteousness, darkness, evil. It defiles, it corrupts.

So what does eating of the tree of knowledge do? Well that's the question.

Genesis 3:7
Quote
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Sin comes into the picture, the very moment Adam and Eve eat of the tree. Eating of the tree didn't enlighten them, it corrupted them. They were perfect in every way, they would never work for food or die of old age.

They eat of the apple, then suddenly......everything goes wrong. They are aware of their nakedness and feel shame, they hide from God whom they loved so much. And what does God do when He discovers this? The first thing He does is curse the serpent.

Why curse it? Because God saw the serpent had destroyed the innocence of those He loved. And created a rift of sin, that divided them. Christ was the only way to bridge that divide.



Here is what happens immediately after the cursing of the serpent:

Genesis 3: 17-20
Quote
To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

All these results you see, they aren't God cursing them. "Cursed is the ground because of you".
He is saying their actions caused this suffering they will now experience.

Romans 6:23
Quote
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So you rather remain ignorant and stupid instead of having knowledge and awareness of your own actions? Knowledge that make you like gods, knowledge that make you live independent from this god and to live your own life?

But we weren't ignorant or stupid. The only difference was, we weren't in sin.
We had the freedom of choice, but we chose wrong. Adam and Eve knew what they did was wrong, since they were told not to do it, but the gravity of what they had done didn't sink in until after the fact. They felt shame and hid from God because of it.

You see it as "enlightenment" or realization, but this event isn't called "The fall of man" for nothing. It wasn't a step up, it was a leap off a cliff from perfection to imperfection.

Yes, how dare they have free will.  Because they had Free Will, God decided to:

Make them mortal
Experience sickness and suffering
Cursed their children (and every child after them) to sin
Damned them to Hell
Forced women to experience the pain of childbirth
and threw them out of paradise.

Meanwhile the Devil is happy to take all the rejects, such as gay people, furries, and people with mental instabilities.  I'm thinking I'd rather have a beer with the Devil than a jealous, angry, vengeful God who would wreck your shit.

What's there to discuss?  The "Church" is either:

A) A truly overzealous, poisonous institute that has infiltrated our society and refuses to go away because the media reports it

or

B)  A trolling, poisonous institute that has infiltrated our society and refuses to go away because the media reports it.


Thankfully we have Bikers that follow them around, and block them from view of people attending the funeral by displaying huge American flags right in front of the WBC members.

And they have enough money and power to know that they can get away with their hate speech (WHY the fuck isn't it outlawed again?) and repeatedly flame people to get a response.  One man, whose brother was killed in the Iraq war, recently attacked a church member/protestor who kept saying his brother was a faggot and was glad he was dead.  The man was imprisoned, tried and fined while the protestor got to walk away laughing.

Once he gets his third warning for harassment, I'm adamant he'll have to be removed.


When did I receive a single warning? Let alone 3?
One from LC, one from Psy, and I'm waiting for the third so you get taken off the staff.

Did you ever see a "watched" status under my avatar?
No? Ok then.
Cheat changed it back to hidden.

Ah. Well my point remains.
I haven't gotten 2/3 warnings like Dustin claims, and I won't be doing anything to get them either.

>he secretly does have a Watched status.

Thought he had several already, and a couple before he was promoted?

He makes fun of people's bodily symptoms, is an overzealous Christian and a threat to a peaceful community.

He obviously cannot handle the job of being a monitor.

Goal is $500 500 signatures to be sent to Cheat.

EDIT:  Another reason:  He tries to sleep around with other members, another abuse of his office.  If Willy Clinton got impeached for it, Rocket deserves to be removed as well.

i'm just astounded

it's impossible to say "i'm not afraid of x" over the internet without a bunch of assholes trying to take you down a notch that you were never on to begin with

i'm not afraid of people coming over to my house--because i have a better chance of getting struck by lightning
is that really such a controversial statement to make

Except for a bit of superiority when someone says they don't post their address and you call them pussies.

and no, you didn't back me into a corner
quit trying to be tough, tough guy
you're so tough

That wasn't even the first time you said it, lol.  Tough guy.
Is that supposed to make you sound tough or something?
what the fuck is tough about posting your full address? there is nothing tough about that

are you stupid?

it's not that i'm tough, it's that i'm not a fucking scared little kitten

this is why you're most likely 12-16

sorry if that makes me sound like a tough guy

but

i really don't think that not being afraid of something makes you a "tough guy"

It's "not tough" to post your address, yet you were calling people pussies for not posting their address.
