[darkeyes]

AZ get reel babes..luff ya dearly but always talk happy stuff??? Hardly reel world. Trick is 2 try an not b unpleasant 2 each otha an accept we hav diff pointsa view, but gud shoutin match is the spica life..

Always try 2 argue an debate logically an wivout rancour but accept sum peeps cant do that... an God knows even me gets me knickers in a twist wiv sum peeps an their attitudes...but we cant stop debate an discussion an nor shud we..we can try an b pleasant an accept we r all different.

Personal shite is summat we havta avoid...not principle an disagreein bout it... talkin bout puppy dogs an stuff is ok...but it don advance our cause or our knowledge 2 far.... for that we need 2 b discussin difficult an complex issues :bigrin:

John Lennon
Instant Karma's gonna get you

It's up to you, yeah you

As I made clear in the thread on Christianity, I too find it depressing to fight. But some statements to call for an answer. If someone says "I really have nothing against bisexuals as such, but you have to admit that their behaviour is really appalling, disgusting and perverted", clearly that's not something one can just let pass. The old legal maxim, "silence gives consent", applies here -- sometimes it's impossible to remain silent without becoming a collaborator in wrongdoing.

That said, I agree that it's time to move on....

Nah. That would bore me. I like to talk about a wider range of subjects.

Maybe it depends on the breed?

That's what keeps the forums lively -- start out talking about civility, end up discussing the taste of dogmeat!

Lively, debate, reasoned defence, witty attack and humour as counter point to folly? FANTASTIC!

War lyrics (War! huh What is it good for?)
These lyrics has a very contemporary feeling to them, don't you think?

War! huh-yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh

War! huh-yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all

War! huh good God
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me?

Ohhh? War! I despise
Because it means destruction?
Of innocent lives

War means tears
to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
and lose their lives

I said - War! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War! Whoa, Lord ...
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me?

War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War! Friend only to the undertaker
War! It's an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind

War has caused unrest in the younger generation
Induction then destruction-
Who wants to die?

Ohhh? War Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, Say it, Say it

War! Uh-huh Yeah - Huh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me?

War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War! It's got one friend, that's the undertaker
War has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled bitter and mean
Life is much to precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life, it can only take it away

War! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War! Whoa, Lord ...
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me?

War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War! Friend only to the undertaker
Peace Love and Understanding;
tell me, is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way

War! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
You tell me
Say it, Say it, Say it

War! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it.
Nothing!

That song brings back memories of when I was young and not sure if I could avoid going to war. Maybe, like others I knew that were killed, I might die too.
Now we have Iraq. So, here we go again. More young men and women, our most valuable resource, death and serious injury rather than love/babies and contribution to the economy.
Sometimes, war is necessary, but it seems more often than not, that it can be avoided and should be a VERY last option. Maybe, I am wrong about using military force very sparingly, but, I hope not.

Surely you're right. Regarding the U.S. in particular, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams made a magnificent speech in the House of Representatives on July 4, 1821, warning against entanglement in foreign wars. The speech, incidentally, is a favorite both of Gore Vidal's on the political left, and of Pat Buchanan's on the right. Excerpts:

"...what has America done for the benefit of mankind?...She has, in the lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception, respected the independence of other nations while asserting and maintaining her own.

She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings...she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom.

The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force....

She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.... "

the incessant need to finalize a point

a moot one at that...

heres one for ya:

We must never take these words too seriously
Words are very important but then if we take them too seriously
We destroy every thing...

I'm not one of those joiners
I'm not down with the club
There's no place I'm going to
You see, it's the hole I dug

I just leave it alone
I just leave it alone
I just leave it alone

I'm not down with this one
Their motives are much too severe
And that one, they're much too serious
I don't plan to make this a career

I just leave it alone
I just leave it alone
I just leave it alone

We're always talking about peace
But it's pieces that we find
What's with all this tension?
What is on your mind?


Why are we always talking about peace?
But it's pieces that we find
Tell me what's with all this tension
Tell me what is on your mind

I wouldn't get into that one
Naw, don't go for all their hype
And you know I'll never be like that one
Come on, I'm just not the type

Well I gotta leave it alone
Just gotta leave it alone
Gonna just leave it alone
Just gotta leave it alone
No, no, no

Leave it alone
Leave it alone
Leave it alone

Never mind that stuff, what can you tell us about the bubble-butt avatar?

[coyotedude]

If someone says "I really have nothing against bisexuals as such, but you have to admit that their behaviour is really appalling, disgusting and perverted", clearly that's not something one can just let pass.

Ummm.... dude.... You say that like being appalling, disgusting, and perverted is a bad thing. :bigrin:

In fact, the only thing wrong with that statement is that you misspelled "behavior".... :eek: :eek: :eek:

Funny! But that's how we spell it in Canada. Like "honour", "colour" and so on.....

[coyotedude]

Funny! But that's how we spell it in Canada. Like "honour", "colour" and so on.....

So if you're talking to a Canadian bigot, you're fine. But when dealing with an American bigot, you've got to drop the "u"....

[hudson9]

You don't drop it, you just save it for the "Oh yea? Well f*** 'U'! "

BTW BiWords, the "bubble butt" avatar is from a (somewhat controversial) Ambercrombie and Fitch add from a few years ago. My own butt is not quite such a bubble, I'm afraid...
