The Good Banter Thread

[Sheetmetalman]

I agree Mogsie, lets just change the subject, I dont want you to think I'm trying to demean you or your beliefs, your gun beliefs and mine are too far apart to ever be bridged, part of that is our Countries different Histories and Heritages and part is our own personnel upbringing and basic personnal beliefs I believe God and Religon is entertwined all through society and think thats a good thing and you have stated that your a non-believer---theres nothing wrong with that in my opinion, Ive always been--- A live and let live type of guy--- and believe a man has to walk the path of his choosing but evan though I think theres nothing wrong with it, I just cant Relate--just as I know that you cant relate to mine, so we will just have to agree to disagree on the Gun and Religeon Issue and relate to whats important on this website--Ponds and Nature. Thanks for the interaction though, it was fun and stimulating for me to solidify my thoughts on Gun Control , Religon, and Society, Tim K.

cape wind you talk about twisting things when you are twisting words yourself ! i did not in any way say it was related to ct mental illness or gun ownership did i ???? it was refering to the statement of preaching the bible whilst simultaneously preaching the gun !

Ok... so again HOW is discussing the Bible and guns in the same breath equal REVENGE (Romans 12:19)? THAT is twisting words you clearly do not understand to suit your own opinion, and is very sad.

Like it or not, BOTH are what this country was founded on.

While fewer guns are owned in your country by private citizens, I didnt see where they were AGAINST the law (with proper gun permits of course, the same as here) ... The UK also PROFITS by $63 MILLION US each year in EXPORTS OF GUNS. (and yes, the US profits are 10x higher).

OK I never got a chance to speak so here I go...I hate to admit it but Mosie has some good points. We are not the same people as we once were, even 40 years ago. We have changed, Today's children are less responsible, their morals have degenerated into something highly undesirable, we do have more and more gang style shootings, our youth worship rock rap stars who sing and glorify killing and raping. The days of my youth are long gone... times when I would spend hours outside playing by the river, making home made forts, muck pies, and picking the carrots right out of my mother garden and eating them without washing them first. The most horrible thing I ever did as a child was to collect catepillers and play "knock knock ginger"! Today's children steal, lie, are having sex at very young ages. Today's children kill their parents.... maybe Mosie is right and maybe we need to stop making guns available to everybody. Maybe we need to change our way of thinking....

Goggle "gas well fracking ft worth texas".

Child molesters are everywhere, every faith, every denomination, every culture. I really would like to fix this growing problem of child sex stuff on the internet. It is just terrible. I heard that the internet providers could stop this child porn from getting on the internet but it would cost too much money or something.

 

[mogsie]

yes lou reading the local media their is lots of pro's and con's regarding fracking, but i guess the best way to know the truth is from the mouth of somebody who has experianced or lived near this !

 

[capewind]

Last thing I am saying on this topic with you... There is a huge difference between avenge/revenge and self preservation. In self defense you are not out looking to cause harm or to "get even"... I simply found your usage of the Bible highly offending.


a·venge

/əˈvenj/

[color=#878787 !important]
Verb

• Inflict harm in return for (an injury or wrong done to oneself or another): "his determination to avenge the murder of his brother".
• Inflict such harm on behalf of (oneself or someone else previously wronged or harmed): "we must avenge our dead".

[/color]

As to ANY child molester... I think they should meet their maker sooner than later (that is about as polite as I can be on that topic). Priests do seem to make the media fairly often, although the last major story I caught about children (more than one) being molested was by a school coach...

 

[mogsie]

i was just teasing regarding that subject colleen, my sense of humour, we will stick to light hearted banter ! lol

 

[mogsie]

I "LIKE" your post koiguy...........maybe we should start a new thread on "What's this world coming too"?

 

[mogsie]

have you ran out of likes again jw, so you have to revert to typing "LIKE" lol
i gave up worrying about what this world is coming to as i am too little to change it ! lol

 

[callingcolleen1]

The world is coming to an end in three days... ha ha ha, any sight of the end anywhere yet?

Things are so bad here that this pub a couple blocks away took out a full billboard ad, "advertising end of the world party" for December 21st! Ha ha ha

 

[j.w]

Yes alas I seem to run out of them often.
I don't need to worry about where this world is going as I know how it's all going to turn out in the end.
Never give up hope on making little good changes in the world Mogsie as you never know who is watching you. Could be that little boy next door or a lady at the market, ya never know.
Just wish I could somehow make it better w/ my being here
