That seems like a pretty dangerous philosophy. Gher Send a noteboard - 09/01/2010 06:24:35 AM
I hope I'm just misreading you because it's late right now, but there are some things you've (you in the general sense, not you you) got to stay away from. Period. Armor of Christ doesn't mean you can go digging through all the scummy places of the Earth on the chance that you might find a small nugget of truth.

Maybe you're just saying to stay exposed to other viewpoints. I can agree with that. I don't always look for that when I want to be entertained, but yeah, a life lived in isolation is not the way to go.

There may be a lot of truth out there. But if I have to dig through a lot of sin to find it, it's not worth it. There are plenty of other places to go where you don't have to deal with the filth.

I don't completely agree, but this is similar to everyone retroactively hating Tom Cruise's movies. Zalis - 05/01/2010 08:47:19 PM 841 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 384 Views

LOL...~hands Dannymac a clue~ damookster - 06/01/2010 04:51:43 AM 952 Views

the point is... damookster - 06/01/2010 11:25:46 PM 755 Views

Actually, it isn't. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:46:30 PM 710 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 771 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 741 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 674 Views
Who has the right to say a parent is abusing the child, and what prevents abuses the other way? Cannoli - 10/01/2010 09:13:45 AM 922 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 748 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 760 Views

okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 676 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 710 Views
Duh. Cannoli - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM 708 Views

I'll agree to the trespass against persons imlad - 09/01/2010 06:07:29 PM 766 Views
What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 682 Views
He's such a parody of himself, one wonders if he's not a fake identity created by rightists. *NM* LiterateDog - 10/01/2010 05:14:31 AM 378 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 734 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 768 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 861 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 06/01/2010 04:45:58 PM 398 Views

would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 734 Views
You really have a habit of missing the point of my posts in the name of snide remarks. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:47:36 PM 792 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 828 Views
It's just simplistic. Like a Disney movie, but no songs. What really bugs me is that the Company beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:48:32 AM 802 Views

See...that's where I'm different. Jeordam - 08/01/2010 03:33:30 PM 716 Views
I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 612 Views
But that's kind of the point... Jeordam - 08/01/2010 06:51:05 PM 739 Views
Uh oh, you used the "c" word... Dannymac - 08/01/2010 07:47:40 PM 828 Views
