Y'know what, Gil-Galad, I'm "technically" on your side, but I think you could be a little more considerate. Lines like your "Oh, but, marriage has no meaning to liberals, though, does it? It's all a bunch of hogwash" are not only flame-baiting, but are false, as I personally know some liberals to whom marriage is very important.

I know all of the "liberals" posting here, and the vast majority of them are kind and thoughtful people, who will listen to you and think about what you say if you treat them with the respect they deserve

I don't quite get that cartoon, Spock - what does it mean?

Was this an intentional misspelling, IRex? It's hilarious!!

Well, I have some ideas of what I think it means, but I was wondering what it meant to YOU!

(did anyone else besides me get a kick out of IRex's misspelling and the interesting meaning it gave the sentence? )

Wonder is one of the experiences of childhood that seldom return in adulthood. Therefore, you should be overjoyed at your experiencing wonder at this point in your life.

Let me rephrase - would you please explain what that cartoon means to you?

Thank you R*an. For my opinion, Gil-galad, see the last post on page 31. (#620)

Spock, I get your Dilbert cartoon (), but who are you saying is stupid? Better not be me!

Oh, Ho! Dogbert doing religious activities! That certainly throws a new perspective on the thread......................do we really want to go there ?

By the by, was that a dog femur or a human femur? And, were any animals or humans harmed in the making of that cartoon?

You guys get too hot under the collar and too santimonious at times. IMO. A cartoon is just what's needed to bring a smile to some and wonder to others.

No human or animal was harmed in the making of this cartoon

It depends how many times one is on the receiving end, and what the words are ...

I think I"ll go cartoon hunting today ...

One is only on the receiving end if One percieves it to be so. In a public forum One is not applicable.

Egads, first the abortion thread and now this one! Cartoons are *blinking* everwhere. Perhaps they deserve their own thread..........hmmm?

If a person that knows that I think creationism is true posts a cartoon knocking creationism on a thread where I post, I think it's pretty clear they're knocking - creationists! - which they know I am.

Why did you take offense (if you did - it seemed like you did) when I posted those cartoons in the abortion thread? Did you perceive you were on the receiving end? If so, why? I wasn't even sure of your position on abortion when I posted them, btw.

As I said when this thing started, I wouldn't have near as much trouble with this if people would preface their cartoons/statements with "I think SOME creationists are this way....", and I would certainly agree with them. But I just remember Gaffer so eloquently arguing against us using "Muslims" without any modifiers - it really made me watch my language, in the interests of accuracy as well as consideration of others.

Me thinks ye protests too much. No one is attacking you. Humor is humor and not of my making. For the third and last time, it was a device to cool peoples tempers off not inflame them. Being sanctimonious has it's place and that isn't being questioned.

I didn't, however, you seem to feel that I didn't have the right to post my own cartoon. Nuf said.

And perhaps you still aren't. No matter..it is in the past.
