Flagrant disrespect for the rules of this forum and its members.

Shimrod, I'm sure that you've noticed that Musket's tactic is to bring up those subjects every time he is asked to stop acting like a bully in a school yard. He also tends to call other people bigots while using pretty offensive stereotypes. I suspect that is the answer to your question.

So pointing out hatred is wrong eh, sailor boy?

I guess I'll just have to be wrong then. Never thought being offended by bigotry was a fucking tactic.

Have fun in the playground with your homophobic play pals.

You know, I doubt you are a bad man really, so eventually perhaps you might even understand why so many people here are sick, in many senses, of victimisation of whole groups of society, of misogyny, of attempts to point at innocent people and call them a problem that needs dealing with.

Musket: "So pointing out hatred is wrong eh, sailor boy?"

No, but making up hatred, out of other people's posts, when there is none, is pretty stupid..AND diverts the thread to avoid discussing issues, in ways you haven't considered is.

Shallow accusations of 'hatred and bigotry', projected out of YOUR head, does NOT prove any valid point, other than you like to accuse others, to whom you can't seem to make a valid point.
Perhaps you should try understanding something out of your own VERY narrow box, constructed out of flimsy 'talking points' propaganda that you (along with a lot of others)bought into, while being manipulated by the very people, who brought you(and a lot of others) a load of crap to believe in...which has been turning out to be quite false.

Oh, and BTW, you are not convincing anybody of anything, because instead of putting forth valid points, you're just spewing hatred, and fear that your programmed conceptual world is crumbling, in the light of truth and common sense.

Snap now, and avoid the rush!

GfS, you have a very simple-minded idea of what life is all about.

Many people—most, actually—are mixed bags, with both good and bad ideas. Planned Parenthood was a good idea. Eugenics and racism are atrocious ideas. Liberals acknowledge Margaret Sanger for Planned Parenthood, but deplore many of her other ideas. In NO WAY is she some kind of "Liberal hero!"

As to your simplistic ideas about single women raising children, there ARE women who WANT it that way. They don't want to marry anyone, but they do want a child. And they cope very nicely, thank you!

I know one young woman who didn't want to marry, but did want a child. She tried In-Vitro Fertilization and carried to term, but the baby died within a couple of hours after it was born.   Not wanting to go through that experience again, she adopted a little girl from a Chinese orphanage (because of China's "one child" policy, girl babies are a dime a dozen, and life in a Chinese orphanage is no bed of roses!). The girl is in her teens now, and is thriving. She plays the violin. Not only can she play a mean Bluegrass fiddle, she loves classical music, her mother is paying for her lessons, and she is currently playing in her high school orchestra.

Mother and daughter are not wealthy, but they're happy and doing quite well, thank you!

There are a number of women out there who don't want to marry anyone, but want to have and raise a child. It occasionally happens that they seek out the "services" of a male friend—shopping around and choosing the man on the basis of his intelligence, general health, and other genetic factors that they find desirable and want their child to have. And in such cases, often to the male friend's surprise, the woman "propositions" the man.

Just because it's unconventional or offends someone's delicate sensibilities in matters of what they consider "proper behavior," it does not mean that it is wrong or "immoral."

Same with same-sex relationships.

Try to widen your focus, GfS.

Well, it sounds like things went bad with her first husband(?), sperm donor, or one night stand...but obviously she had a bad experience with men.
Betcha dollars to doughnuts, she would have much rather had one good ol' man who really loved her, and the baby, than to go through all she went through.....
I think it far better to RAISE people's awareness for equality, rather than to make everybody an emotional and/or moral cripple equally.
Certain political agendas have made it all to easy, to keep people stupid, and/or giving up to reach a higher level...don't you?..if you don't like your spouse for some petty reason, just walk away....IS DUMB! It is detrimental to children, as it is with the adults, as well.

Check this out....Firth: "They don't want to marry anyone, but they do want a child. And they cope very nicely, thank you!"

"They don't want to marry anyone.." as in, anymore than the few ones to start off with??....or, she's tired of 'shopping'....or is she an bitch who attracts good guys and runs them off.and blames them??

I think you're being the simplistic one here.

Families are better off by having a loving family structure IN TACT...not some 'socially acceptable' broken home, with a lot of other blind excuses...
There's an expression...."Women who praise divorce, probably made a lot of other excuses, too!"

You seem to readily excuse marriages on a 'trial basis'....when is the audition over and the loving unity in a commitment going to wrap the child in it's security??

Less is a rip-off!

A point you obviously missed, Goofball, perhaps due to your slipshod reading abilities. I said that the young woman who did not want to get married, but wanted a child, became pregnant thru "IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION."

But I used the wrong term. She became pregnant though artificial insemination, done at a fertility clinic. NOT through direct sexual intercourse.

She was NOT--and IS not--"sleeping around."

If you don't know what either in-vitro fertilization or artificial insemination are, look them up!

Spurred on by 'pete-from-seven-stars-link's' fatuous assertion that there is no evidence for evolution, I am currently reading Richard Dawkins' book, 'The Greatest Show on Earth: the evidence for evolution' (I challenge you to read it to, pete. It'll make a change from all those red-neck websites you read!). Anyway, at the beginning of the book, Dawkins points out that, until recently, much Western - particularly Christian - thinking has been heavily influenced by Plato's concept of idealised forms. Hence, according to that philosophy, mice, rabbits, cockatoos, hamsters etc. exist as idealised, unchanging forms (bet you didn't know that you'd been brainwashed by an ancient, PAGAN Greek, did you, pete?). Modern science, on the other hand, thinks in terms of populations of species - which contain considerable variation clustered around the mean. Over long periods of time, certain parts of the population are naturally selected over others and move away from the mean - gradually changing into other species (Dawkins expresses it better than I can - read the book).
This is, of course, a statistical concept - and as someone who routinely applied statistical ideas in his daily work, I can understand its power.

I suspect that some of the recent contributors to this thread are also Platonists. They believe that human sexual behaviour also exists in idealised forms and departures from those forms are to be deplored. Nevertheless, in the ideal, non-Platonic, real world, human sexual behaviour is as variable as anything else. If the human species is to progress, we need to dump Platonism and learn to embrace and tolerate variation.

As per the rules, written by Ma, I am free to be anything I want except for the items listed. What I am free not be is your attack monkey. If you think that some third party ought to be reminded of the rules, you are free to do it yourself.

Well if you had you would have gotten quite an education of where he comes from.

Keeping within the topic, (which he is known for of NOT DOING), he ought to start his own thread...."How I disregarded my own child, abandoned him and the mother, and became an 'honorable' defender of 'Militant Atheism'"....

...and for anyone else....

"If I speak with the eloquence of men and of angels, but have no love, I become no more than blaring brass or crashing cymbal. If I have the gift of foretelling the future and hold in my mind not only all human KNOWLEDGE but the very secrets of God, and if I also have that absolute faith which can move mountains, but have no love, I amount to NOTHING at all. If I dispose of all that I possess, yes, even if I give my own body to be burned, but have no love, I achieve precisely NOTHING.

4 This love of which I speak is slow to lose patience—it looks for a way of being CONSTRUCTIVE. It is not possessive: it is neither anxious to IMPRESS nor does it cherish INFLATED IDEAS OF ITS OWN IMPORTANCE,

5-6 Love has good manners and does not pursue selfish advantage. It is not touchy. It does not keep account of evil or gloat over the wickedness of other people. On the contrary, it is GLAD WITH all GOOD men when TRUTH PREVAILS.

7-8a Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen.
All gifts except love will be superseded one day

8b-10 For if there are prophecies they will be fulfilled and done with, if there are "tongues" the need for them will disappear, if there is KNOWLEDGE IT WILL BE SWALLOWED UP IN TRUTH. For our KNOWLEDGE IS ALWAYS INCOMPLETE and our prophecy is always incomplete, and when the complete comes, that is the end of the incomplete.

11 When I was a little CHILD I TALKED and FELT and THOUGHT like a LITTLE CHILD. Now that I am a man my childish speech and feeling and thought have no further significance for me.

12 At present we are men looking at puzzling reflections in a mirror. The time will come when we shall see reality whole and face to face! At present all I know is a little fraction of the truth, but the time will come when I shall know it as fully as God now knows me!

13 In this life we have three great lasting qualities—faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is LOVE."

He put the sleaziest possible spin on it and he just won't let it go. He keeps bringing it up.

HE, ALSO, revealed something about himself that, undoubtedly, he regretted. I'm just reminding him that, should he keep up with the snarky references, I might just cut and re-post the post that he undoubtedly regrets HE made.

As to Ake's remark, occasionally I have reminded him that, according to articles in "Scientific American" and "Psychology Today," those who show as much incessant antipathy toward homosexuals as he does are, very frequently, fighting urges within themselves that scare the hell out of them. He might just ask himself why he feels compelled to write so much wordage on the subject.

"However the info in the genes only causes reproduction after its kind, and you have not demonstrated that it can depart from the limits of the variations in the organism, to become anything else……however many generations you throw at it."

Hmmm. I've just asked you to explain why incest is OK and now we're back to this old cobblers. This comment is just bloody minded ignorance; no offense, but it's crass stupidity to even type that, let alone actually believe it.

Best stick to explaining 'context'.

"So if Dawkins has evidence to the contrary, by all means share it!"

No, pete, I'm suggesting that YOU read Prof. Dawkins' book. I'm sure that it will provide you with answers to all of your questions - but I'm not going to attempt to re-gurgitate it so that you can nit-pick my interpretation.

So if it's all the same to you, I shall deal with the trolls by name calling them. Not big, not smart but not a problem either considering the poor quality of the small shallow people trolling.

It is not all the same to me. It is not all the same to Max. You are showing disrespect and ingratitude by ignoring a simple request.

It is unkind, impolite argumentative and snooty for you to call people names and judge them. Its pretty simple and you have a choice. You are allowed to express unpopular opinion. You are not allowed to be an argumentative, name calling jerk.

"Well that's what people do who don't believe in God/Love. What did you expect?" I have to take issue on this.

There are plenty of good people on this forum who do not believe in God who do not insult people and have not taken it upon themselves to attack several people every day fighting "embers with flames" because they find it "cathartic."

Ian Mather does not do this because he does not believe in God.

Please keep in mind that while many members of this forum do not believe in God, he is the only one going out of his way every to call you names.

Cappy: "Please keep in mind that while many members of this forum do not believe in God, he is the only one going out of his way every to call you names."

Yes, as I've mentioned before, 'name-calling' is a common, but telling tactic of those who have no case, nor anything intelligent to contribute to the topic's discussion..so they resort to childish playground antics, to see if they can get like-minded nitwits to pile on...it gives them a 'feeling' of 'winning some sort of consensus, to their immature and erroneous position. They can't 'win it' on the merits of reason, logic or common sense!.............and then they can't understand it why the sane people don't take them seriously, OR why people DO NOT want to be like them or adopt their quasi point of view, when the end result is nasty attitude, argumentative immature name calling!!...Jeez!...This is what we are left to believe, as to bottom line of the top of their quest????..They figure the more hostile, rude and stupidity that they exhibit...the more their making their point.....problem is, they ARE making their point.....that they are moronic idiots with nothing to say!!

As to the reason that I came down on Don, is nothing more than the fact that he posted his desperately stupid little libelous 'footnote', when in my prior posts leading up to it, I was NOT personalizing my rhetorical questions to him!...but he had to step right into it...even though a couple of posters call on him to apologize. Knowing that he is incapable, I just fired back some TRUTH at him, illustrating what kind of selfish and self-serving character he is...and his 'points of view' are paved with misinformation and/or flagrant stupidity...THROUGH the YEARS....and he STILL doesn't fucking 'get it'!!
Now he's claiming that SHE 'initiated it'....and he was helplessly deceived by her......well I got news for ya', Dimples,...You seem to have an inclination THROUGH THE YEARS of being susceptible of being deceived...and then turning around and peddling more deception in arguing your 'points'.....and so it has evolved into how you approach politics!!...'In for a penny, in for a pound'.....and folks are, and should be wary of virtually ANYTHING that you apply YOUR limited understanding to, because maybe other people aren't so vulnerable to believe what you choose to believe....just to satisfy YOUR selfish need for ego gratification!!! ...whether it be to recklessly get laid, or promoting some bullshit 'so-called liberal' propaganda d'jour as you did with 'Obamacare' (latest example).
Bottom line, is you naively grab the disinformation, you have a track record of being fooled on serious matters, and then you insult those who don't subscribe to your nonsensical delusions....then he PM's people to come to his 'aide'....and causes them to be made fools out of!...but he don't care...as long as he thinks his latest bullshit is accepted by somebody..anybody....and the only ones he's able to conscript(who haven't given up on him), are jackasses!!....and they are the same jackasses, that display jackass behavior...WHOOOPPIEEE!
Next,you'll be buying them complimentary incense to burn at your autographed pictures of yourself that you'll send them for their birthdays!!!

Good grief, grow up, as opposed to growing into your second childhood, and take some sort of responsibility for being a chronic and terminal fuck up!
....but that's propaganda!!.....getting others to believe bullshit...and that's your life's mission!...that's politics!

OK..I'm done....Go bullshit each other and pat each others on the back, for at least not throwing up on each other!

Let's all sit cross legged at the feet of the noble self appointed arbiter of what people are allowed to say.

Let's all marvel as he puts words in people's keyboards and makes sweeping general observations of why you say what you do.

Swoon with admiration as he tells us all that Musket doesn't believe in God and that's why he points out stupidity.

Never question the noble Lord Jerk as he forgets the worm isn't superstitious either but Musket saves the most condemning comments for said worm.

Oy Jerk! Any chance of quoting the rules again? Just in case we didn't read the bleedin things the last time? Perhaps add the bits in your head but not on the website that says you can insult Don Firth, you can insult me , and Goofus can spew shit all day, whilst Keith A Hole of Hertford can shout liar! every time his idiotic takes on a subject fail scrutiny.

If you want to look a daft sod waving the rule book , you have to read posts like the real moderators do, not shout at those you disagree with and claim you don't read them when those you agree with fart their odious bile.

Let me re-phrase...Politics is the tactic of deceiving people, through propaganda, to build a consensus by getting people to abandon their common sense and go along with politically motivated crimes against humanity, regardless of political party!...hence, the Korean 'conflict'(they called it a 'police action'..but nobody got arrested), The Warren Report, Vietnam, The Golden Triangle, the oil deal with the Saudis, (buying our bonds in exchange for buying their oil, the pretending it was for 'environmental reasons', NAFTA, GATT, recreational abortions, GMO's, repealing Glass-Steagal, the Twin Towers, Iraq (twice), the 'war on terrorism, the 'war on drugs', 'war on poverty', the Patriot Act, 'jobs czar, shovel ready jobs, AIG bailout, solar energy subsidies to cronies, (all of which collapsed, but not before the kickback was payed), Citizens United, NDAA, Obamacare, NSA scandals, trying to re-define marriage, homosexuality based on 'genetics' and now 'Militant Atheism' as a move toward 'secularism', (among others) because they can't have 'God' around, if they want the STATE to be the sole supreme being!..all of them brought about by deception...all of them backfiring.....EXCEPT to the bankster/corporate/Military Industrial Complex....of whom your 'party leaders' are just shills, and pay homage, doing their bidding!!
Get a fucking clue!!!!!!!!!!

Politics employs, trying to discredit common sense and/or traditions that work, to replace it with the forced will of the Military Industrial Complex..regardless of party, because the bankster/corporate/Military Industrial Complex owns the both, and the media! .....and those who promote the deceptive delusions by means of propaganda, and call it 'truth' are just those who fell into their game.....and are too fucking stupid to flash that they've been deceived into being delusional babblers.

There!..That was simple!

I just hope they like good music..after all, Beethoven's music has outlasted several governmental changes in Austria-Germany....as did any good music.
(maybe people get into politics because they just couldn't get into good music......it requires 'Heart'!).
