gOod lord….do you people have lives? — JD

….I do.

And a significant part of it involves telling people good news.

What do YOU do?

I do, indeed, find all stereotypes to be bad. — caestal

Stereotyping is, as I stated earlier, prejudicial decision making, generally speaking. It is coming to an opinion without adequate information.

As for sheesh and his ilk, they manifest themselves well enough to know what their agendas are. So, as you say, it’s not stereotyping, it’s factual, based on the evidence they themselves provide.

I don’t have a problem with Christians; some of my best friends are Christians. — caestal

Careful.

In the 60s that was a indicator phrase for someone hiding their prejudice against Blacks or Jews.

RE: The Problem with ‘Evil’

I do have a problem with evil people, whether they call themselves Christians or not. — caestal

Evil comes in many forms. The challenge is (1) having a good set of rules to recognize it by and (2) the courage to call it what it is when you recognize it.

RE: sheesh, vivo, DavidS, et al.

….he is a flamer and a flame-baiter. That’s why I can’t help but suspect he is just a sock puppet, put there to whip folks up into a frenzy and give them something to react to. — caestal

Could be. It IS a plausible explanation for the shear stupidity manifested by them. But I know that there are people that behave like they do in real life. I had one in my house last December. We had a ‘discussion’ similar to the sort of think that sheesh and others have on these threads. So they DO exist in reality.

She’s just another of the useful fools that helped put Obama in the Oval Office….to the detriment of the rest of US. [Note: I wonder what she's thinking of how her electrical bill is going to skyrocket with this Cap and Trade bill....if it passes. We're using coal-fired electricity here.]

And for the record, there is not stereotype involved with Sheesh, though he is so far gone into his shtick he reads like a stereotype. I don’t care if he is a “leftist,” but he is, has been and remains an idiot. That’s not because he is liberal, it is because he is a flamer and a flame-baiter. That’s why I can’t help but suspect he is just a sock puppet, put there to whip folks up into a frenzy and give them something to react to. You will notice that a lot of the more extreme posts come in after he (or Vivo, or other local trolls) posts obvious bait.

Maybe you should try a different religion, one that doesn’t hamstring you into these relentless contradictions you trowel out. Maybe you go back a bit further in history, try on some Zoroastrianism. Or maybe something more contemporary, like Scientology. In either case you can say whatever you like and not be plagued by the self-doubts and the wholesale dismissal by others. Release your burden. Reconsider worshipping the one true true god of your craven imagination – Mensa.

But hey, you’re making progress in you. At least you didn’t try to deny the habitual stereotyping I pointed out in you.

Baby steps, Pelto. It’s gonna take a while for you to learn that 1s and 0s aren’t enough to navigate a world of 2s.

….jigaboo…. — sheesh

Jigaboo, n., racial slur regarding Blacks.

Too bad DavidS, sheesh and other ‘progressives’ won’t accept it. After all, as you accurately stated….

….the issue is that either one is inherently superior to man himself, something that the current “progressive” crowd can’t abide — Rashputin

You got burned and turned out on the stereotyping thing-a-ma-jigaboo, didn’t you, deacon? Yeah, ya did. It’s OK. Nobody’s perfect, unless you count some wag from 2,000 years ago, the same wag you so consistently disappoint with your ping pong morality. Better to admit your failings than to assign them to someone else . . . and on the sabbath no less. I suggest you find another methodology, one that isn’t so blatantly blasphemous. Remember, God is watching . . . and he knows how to read, too. I don’t think he’s a fan of your particular kind of fiction.

And now, the passing of the plate. And please, no prune pits this time, Chuck.
