If you really believe that, I feel for ya. Most conservatives are too busy with their work, spouse, children, church, and volunteering to worry about 'ferreting' out other's behaviour behind closed doors. Anyway, we're much more worried about the crap the far lefties do out in the open.
Again, about the Rand issue - I guess the Bigguns can't handle nuance, even with something as uncomplicated and trivial as an avatar. Judge a book by it's cover is where you're coming from, I gather.
Really. Guess those laws on sodomy, republicans worrying about sex lives of others, etc...are just my imagination. Can't imagine any republicans/conservs interested in somone's sex life...perhaps you need to explain that to mr. starr.
Nuance: Not much nuance when you name yourself after rand. Perhaps you should really figure out the meaning of nuance..but, then again, nuance isn't really something conservatives understand or employ. Right and wrong, black and white...etc.
BTW, i guess those conservs aren't judging libs who do stuff out in the open...nah, they aren't judging a book by its cover.
Most conservatives is what I wrote. I know a lot of conservatives and none of them are political activists. there's a difference between being concerned about morality issues and 'ferreting' them out in some sort of home invasion, which seems to be what you're thinking of. Regarding legislation, would you suggest that legislation not address any issues of morality? If not, then by what criteria does one draw the line?
Again about the avatar: So I should just assume that you're really just a crack smoking back guy? Really, your position on the avatar issue makes you look the fool.
Right and Wrong: is there right and wrong, Bigguns? Please tell us whether you believe in right and wrong. And if so, as I suggested above, please enlighten us on how you decide what is right and what is wrong. and if you feel there is no right or wrong, how can you judge anything or anyone?
1. Elected officials represent you..do they not. If we don't hear you admonishing them..then that is tacit approval.
2. Legislation. How do you intend to determine morality? I'm sure that at some time laws against sodomy, miscegenation, etc. were considered moral.
But, i'm all for it. Should we make laws against adultery? What about lying.
3. Avatar. My avatar is clearly a satire. Is yours. Nice try, but you lose on this one..well, lose again. Clearly no one takes me seriously as a crack smoking fictional tv character. Not much nuance there my lack of understanding of nuance friend. Is your avatar one of satire. No..it represents...according to you..some of your beliefs.
Let me spell it out for you, Rand is real person..tyrone bigguns is a character. See the difference.
4. Right and wrong. I leave that up to you conservatives...you never fail to tell us what is right and wrong.
As for judging..well, i always thought the point was that god was suppose to do that...not me.
What a barrage of floating abstractions and stolen concepts! It occurs to me that you really can't think straight.
1) Elected officials represent me? Really? Thanks for the primer on representative government. You're ready to teach 2nd grade.
2) Legislation against lying - in certain forms - exists. Ever heard of slander or libel? primitive. Maybe you're not ready for 2nd grade.
3) My avatar is a painting of a fictional character, John Galt. He doesn't exist. There is no 'Mraynrand' either. Ever see the movie "Good Will Hunting?" Recall the second scene between the Robin Williams character and the Matt Damon character and what Williams says about a painting? If not, check it out. See the difference? Obviously not.
4) I'd be happy to help you with right and wrong, because I really think you're lost. You don't even know the difference between judgment among men and judgment by God. That's lost. Recall Christ saying "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." You know, separate magisteria? I'll help you out by putting it in terms a lib can comprehend: It's like separation of church and state. For someone who makes generalized statements about all the religions of the world in his tag line, you would think you could get the judgment part right.
Looks like you need remedial life lessons Bigguns, but it's too boring for me to joust with someone who is more challenged cognitively and common-sense-wise than a kindygartner.
