Why I'm angry. [View all] beam me up scottie Nov 2014 OP

I'm pro-choice shenmue Nov 2014 #1

Where did I say that "all religious people are the same" ? beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #3

The gist of the OP Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #6

Well, what you don't see shenmue Nov 2014 #7

OK, I accept that. Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #11

Understood. But the tone of your first post mr blur Nov 2014 #33

"most of you" are voting republican, by close to 70% every election Warren Stupidity Nov 2014 #34

What we really need are more allies like Shenmue theHandpuppet Nov 2014 #36

Traditionally, at least on DU, there has been a huge disconnect. trotsky Nov 2014 #37

I have to disagree with you to a point theHandpuppet Nov 2014 #52

we have been told here repeatedly that in fact Warren Stupidity Nov 2014 #57

Your repeated use of 'repeatedly' doesn't fully convey the redundancy in that AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #70

Oh, I'd agree with that theHandpuppet Nov 2014 #118

Catholics voted more for Republicans in 2014; slightly more Repub than whole pop since 2010 muriel_volestrangler Nov 2014 #126

Thanks for the correction theHandpuppet Nov 2014 #134

All I can go on is what I've observed and been told in this group. trotsky Nov 2014 #132

You're a much better judge of that than I am. theHandpuppet Nov 2014 #135

You are not 'most of you'. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #68

Oh, you shenmue Nov 2014 #69

Yes, me. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #71

Lol, yes, it's him. rug Nov 2014 #90

Thanks. shenmue Nov 2014 #96

I don't disagree with this. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #98

And, now that we have established that I am me...? AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #97

. rug Nov 2014 #105

Ya and what you don't seem to understand Alittleliberal Nov 2014 #107

Yes, it matters. shenmue Nov 2014 #113

Clearly not as evidenced by the OP Alittleliberal Nov 2014 #115

Strawman. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #67

Happy to be of service. rug Nov 2014 #10

Do you not see Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #13

I'd be happy to catalog the history of intimidation in this group, and by whom. rug Nov 2014 #15

That is not the point at all. Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #21

Don't be disingenuous. rug Nov 2014 #22

Rug, we both know that you are not stupid. Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #23

Allow me to paraphrase it. rug Nov 2014 #25

You're deliberately misrepresenting my posts and you tell her to not be disingenuous? beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #24

Au contraire, I posted a link to your exact posts. rug Nov 2014 #26

So that's a yes on all three counts. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #27

Next time you shoot make sure the bullseye's not on your backside. rug Nov 2014 #28

You're the one yelping, dude. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #29

You're the one ranting, dudette. rug Nov 2014 #30

LMAO! beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #31

I'm sure you consider being called out on trash talking and religious bigotry to be bullying. rug Nov 2014 #40

She mentions bullies Goblinmonger Nov 2014 #35

Yes she did, in post 20. rug Nov 2014 #41

Yep. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #45

My goodness. I shall seek consolation in my diary. rug Nov 2014 #161

Your church is the antithesis of progressivism. Stem to stern. I hope you're proud. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #72

I hope you didn't spend too much time putting that together. rug Nov 2014 #75

Pretty sure the RCC disagrees with you on that. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #77

Considering the knowledge you've displayed of the RCC to date, I'm confident. rug Nov 2014 #82

Keep in mind i specified the church, not the members. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #91

Keep in mind you wrote this: rug Nov 2014 #101

Your church has invested itself in a political fight. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #106

Get takeout. rug Nov 2014 #110

Also, not a valid answer to my question. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #122

That's probably because your question is invalid. rug Nov 2014 #137

Your shtick is old and obvious Goblinmonger Nov 2014 #138

And yours is predictable. rug Nov 2014 #139

What are your views on abortion? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #32

What are your views on masturbation? rug Nov 2014 #42

I'm a fan of the former. Not so for the latter. Goblinmonger Nov 2014 #44

Hardly relevant to the question at hand Lordquinton Nov 2014 #60

Neither is your question. rug Nov 2014 #62

It is very relevant to the topic at hand Lordquinton Nov 2014 #64

No, it's not. Can't you answer my question? rug Nov 2014 #65

it is very relevant to the topic Lordquinton Nov 2014 #100

Play elsewhere. rug Nov 2014 #104

The only limits on abortion should be health/safety medical regulations, nothing more. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #109

Ask your buddy. He excels at stupid baiting questions. rug Nov 2014 #111

you never asked a question Lordquinton Nov 2014 #124

"What are your views on abortion laws?" rug Nov 2014 #136

That is the question I asked you, yes Lordquinton Nov 2014 #144

"What are your views on abortion?" rug Nov 2014 #145

Why are you so scared to answer such a simple question? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #146

I see. You are too obtuse to see the difference in the questions. rug Nov 2014 #147

you are the one here refusing to answer a very simple question Lordquinton Nov 2014 #150

Give it up. You're embarassing yourself. rug Nov 2014 #152

what are your views on abortion? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #153

What are your views on abortion laws? rug Nov 2014 #154

waiting for you to answer first Lordquinton Nov 2014 #155

Lol, are you going to triple dog dare me too? rug Nov 2014 #156

What are your views on abortion laws? rug Nov 2014 #173

What are your views on abortion? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #174

Simple question, why are you stalling and deflecting when you could just answer it? rug Nov 2014 #175

What are your views on abortion? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #176

The additional word is the crux of the matter. rug Nov 2014 #185

The crux is that you are refusing to answer a telling question Lordquinton Nov 2014 #187

"Telling" rug Nov 2014 #188

That I can be persistent? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #190

Perseverance is not persistence. rug Nov 2014 #191

You're projecting Lordquinton Nov 2014 #195

I'm reflecting. rug Nov 2014 #197

No rug, I had it right Lordquinton Nov 2014 #232

I definiterly see something right about your posts. rug Nov 2014 #239

Ok, so you run, and run, and run Lordquinton Nov 2014 #240

No, you still have two days to answer. rug Nov 2014 #241

Are you threatening me? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #244

Lol, yes, I'm threaening you. I'm threatening the exposure of your bullshit. rug Nov 2014 #245

Ok, so you're resorting to threats instead of answering the question Lordquinton Nov 2014 #246

You can't distinguish a threat from a thought any more than you can answer a question. rug Nov 2014 #247

Or what? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #248

Then I'll leave you to circle jerk all by yourself. rug Nov 2014 #249

For Christ's Sake, rug, just answer the question Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #250

As I told Lord some days ago, that is not the relevant question. It is a simple question though. rug Nov 2014 #251

But it is a relevant question. Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #253

No it isn't and here's why. rug Nov 2014 #254

True Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #256

He's not asking an honest question. rug Nov 2014 #257

What my mother always told me..... Curmudgeoness Nov 2014 #258

What are your views on abortion? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #268

The fewer abortions, the less risk of medical complications, for one thing. NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #269

Do we want to see less pregnancy overall, too? Because abortion is less risky than live birth. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #270

I presume you mean Unwanted pregnancy? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #271

I think rug is pro-choice. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #46

He's never answered the question, so it's still a mystery Lordquinton Nov 2014 #61

That's probably why it will remain unanswered. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #66

He can be as pro choice as he likes, he's still supporting shit like the bill in the OP if he gives AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #74

What bullshit. rug Nov 2014 #80

The RCC doesnt get its lobbying $'s from an invisible man in the sky. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #83

If you looked, instead of frothed, you'll see these political campaigns get enormous donations rug Nov 2014 #88

Donations which are offset by operational costs covered by members, like you. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #93

I don't think you should be silent and I regret that they voted this way. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #9

Thanks, Justin. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #12

Indeed it is. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #14

It's not the Democrats' fault. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #16

Oh. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #17

They amended the constitution to stop the courts from interfering. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #18

Shit! hrmjustin Nov 2014 #19

This amendment overturns that portion of the decision that rested on state, not federal grounds. rug Nov 2014 #20

Federal constitution trumps that. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #81

For now. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #86

Depends. Fist, i need to know if hell is endothermic or exothermic. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #87

Please provide links to back the claims. TM99 Nov 2014 #53

Atheists who post here regularly are intimately familiar with the angry atheist meme. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #54

Meme's like stereotypes have some basis in reality. TM99 Nov 2014 #55

And they're found on DU more than people would like to admit. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #56

Exhibit A in the body of evidence in this thread why i have to use the word 'Disingenuous' so much. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #102

No, I won't try to tell you anything. NaturalHigh Nov 2014 #51

For some reason the voters wanted this yeoman6987 Nov 2014 #94

'some reason'. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #95

Still the same outcome and result yeoman6987 Nov 2014 #99

the op delves into WHY. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #103

Well I never added that GOP voters tend to vote emotionally and not with their brain (NOT ALL) yeoman6987 Nov 2014 #108

I think the reason why is important, so we disagree materially, i think. AtheistCrusader Nov 2014 #112

Of course it is a religious group pushing an amendment that appeals to some religious factions. MADem Nov 2014 #129

What a load of bullshit. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2014 #140

Just because you can only think of four organizations, that makes the point invalid? MADem Nov 2014 #141

What the hell do you mean by a "healthy culture"? mr blur Nov 2014 #198

"You really do spout the most risible waffle." NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #203

In a "healthy culture" does every adult own a Mossberg? n/t trotsky Nov 2014 #204

Oh, aren't you a treat?! NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #205

So, how many guns do adults own in a "healthy culture"? n/t trotsky Nov 2014 #206

That healthy, idealized, culture I describe would have as many or as few guns as people like. NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #216

Becoming pregnant is usually a participatory act. NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #221

"Maybe you do, I don't know." beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #243

so women who have abortions are culturally "unhealthy"? Warren Stupidity Nov 2014 #220

You've just set a new record for pulling something out of your noodle that was never, ever, said. NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #222

You doubled down on the moral shaming. Warren Stupidity Nov 2014 #225

The blame is placed not on women, but on the institutions that fail to serve men and women. NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #228

I sure hope they don't let this guy counsel pregnant women. beam me up scottie Nov 2014 #209

Do you know how poorly funded some programs are? Thankfully, abortions are on the decline. NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #234
