no no. I meant that his opinion is superior. His rudeness however, is a seperate issue, which I've addressed, so no need to continu down that road. Although I would observe that 'if he can do it, so can I' is vastly unhelpful

QUOTE(Heath21 @ Feb 7 2007, 1:01 AM) Same goes for you, doesn't mean your opinion is a good one either. Secondly, if we are such morons, then why do you come here? You are not forced to talk to anyone on here or join the forum debates  Irrelevant issues. If you don't think my opinion is a "good one" tell me exactly why, then I'll be happy to discuss the issue with you. Otherwise, eh. QUOTE(I Shot JFK @ Feb 7 2007, 5:59 AM) ^ Well, his is vastly superior, but we'll let that slide. Nate, as much as i sympathize, please don't call people morons... Thanks, James. Wait, when did you become People's staff? I'm so lost. Oh well. QUOTE(Heath21 @ Feb 7 2007, 3:37 PM) Well yeah, everyone has there own opinions and I have no problem with that as long as it doesn't hurt others. If your opinions are actually "hurting" people, that's probably a good sign. Far more interesting and penetrating, I'm sure. f**k opinions that don't hurt people, they needn't be said. |

QUOTE(I Shot JFK @ Feb 6 2007, 5:58 AM) Then clearly you understand nothing about the founding fathers, given that they specifically created a nation lead by a governement which is secular, and free from religion. That's a crappy attitude in a democracy, or any free society... If it was founded free from religion, then why is it mentioned that we have the freedom of worship and religion? Why does it say on our currency, 'In God We Trust.' There must have been some influence of the Christian religion. |

I have to agree that America is a religion based country...there are so many different religions it's not even funny, everywhere you look theres religion. |

Freedom from religion within the government, freedom to worship in your private life. Perfectly simple. And what do you mean, 'if?' |
