Yeah, I’ve never understood people’s need to have some type of arching continuity in the Bible. I’ve always looked at the Bible more akin to a collection of parables. Most of the parables aren’t connected and most invite interpretation. I think that’s partially why it’s popularity has endured. You can find whatever viewpoint you’re looking for in there.
Both sides would be much better off quoting parables from Aesop’s Fables.
That’s funny, isn’t that what Reagan was saying about relations with the Soviets, way back in the 1980s? Or am I misremembering?
In fact, the Bible’s actual position on abortion is repellent to both the pro-life and pro-choice factions: The punishment for suspected infidelity is for a woman to be forced to drink abortifacient herbs, together with a prayer that if she’s innocent, they won’t affect her.
You are obviously not familiar with Adam Sandler’s oeuvre. I give you Little Nicky.
There’s no idiocy in the request. The idiocy lies in these little asswipes calling me a liar for posting about an event where I was present and they weren’t. That little basic fact doesn’t seem to stop them from making complete fools of themselves and claiming I lied about it. Hence my request - show proof that I lied, or shut the fuck up.
Yeah, especially since you’ve given us so many hundreds of other instances when you were blatantly lying, being disingenuous, trolling, or just being plain stupid.

Of course, the real tragedy of Clotha is that there are probably 5-20 million Americans just like him and they will retard American progress until they get pushed back into the ignored fringes.
Show proof that the incident actually happened, or shut the fuck up. That works as well.
Actually no, please keep on a blatherin’; it’s a bit of cheap entertainment.
I cannot respect anyone who would steal their username from a minor fantasy series.
Oh, wait. . .
As far as I know, most liberals in America are not and do not identify as socialists. And, as far as I know, dems and many of their social democratic/labor friends in Europe, are and identify as capitalists. I hope you shrink below the waistline soon, your stupid attempts at twisting socialism into every idiotic, evil fantasy you can (or can’t! :smack:) think of, isn’t convincing anyone. You don’t know what socialism is and you can’t be bothered to find out. I vote for and identify with socialism, so I should know right?
Btw: I support free speech, but I prioritize informed speech.
For the record, here’s the story:
Personally, I don’t doubt that the encounter went pretty much as described.
That said, I struggle to find any reason to accept his interpretation of it as conclusive proof* that the ideas of liberals are generally stupid and worthy of nothing more than dismissal. Sure, he points out that pictorial evidence shows him to be innocent of the accusation of using a gasoline-powered lawnmower.
The woman’s attention to detail can obviously use some work. But if later on during her jog she were to encounter another resident actually USING a gasoline-powered lawnmower, and treated that resident to an identical scolding, her criticisms would have been entirely on point.
One imagines that if she HAD noticed the zero (direct)-emissions nature of Clothy’s lawnmower, yet still felt an urge to chastise him, she would have done so on the basis of the resource-wasting character of lawns in general. Which ALSO would not have been stupid, per se.
No, whether Clothahump is a liar and/or a troll is a secondary issue. It may well be that he is simply too stupid to recognize a poisoned well when he sees one (because that excerpt that he chose to put into his OP is inarguably and patently a poisoned well, even without getting into the distinction between actual conservatism and whatever is being advanced as conservatism there).
I assert that “Okay, I just might have won my own thread” is a claim that he has demonstrated his thesis.*
N.B.* to Clothahump: “demonstrated his thesis” means “proved his point.”
***N.B. is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase Nota bene, which means “Note Well”; the idea being that I’m directing your attention to it, so you have a better chance of understanding it.
I’ve known too many people who invent their own narratives to not doubt that the encounter went anywhere except in his mind.
C’hump has such a persecution complex and need to attack anyone he sees as “liberal”, the jogger probably didn’t say anything beyond “hello”. If even that.
Perhaps she said “Buenos Dias”, and that caused a spittle gibbering rage to develop in the hump.
N.B.: given that C’hump has difficulty with telling opinion from fact, the above is an opinion. Only a troll would repeatedly demand cites for obvious opinions, which is also an opinion.
Of course we can’t agree on anything, you dumb ass red state pig fuckers. You’re a third world country, basket of deplorable doesn’t describe you, you’re America’s Taliban and on the weekends we go down to buy some apple butter and see if we can get one of you meth addicts to fuck a donkey. You went through the 90s talking about how much you hate us, you missed the part where we hate you too and we’ve been fucking carrying you since the 40s.
Wow, madmonk28, there’s no need to mince words…
He’s always been mad, you know he’s been mad, like the most of us are. Very hard to explain why you’re mad, even if you’re not mad.
