And, yet he/she started his/her posts by labeling libs "truth hating wolves".

Your words betray you, Sham.

Personally, I think that all posters that use hate speech toward those of opposing views should be banned for a period of time. I'm serious!

This is the only way to get this under control!

There is not enough ridicule to demolish that demonic thinking...

1 Cor 1:18 - 31 (KJV)

18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

It appears as thought God is not adverse to using foolishness........

Does this mean I can say mean and hateful things, but if I later apologize it's OK? All I'm saying is that this forum needs to get in control of hate speech.

I agree even if the term "hate speech" gives me the willies.......Isn't it some kind of a liberal (politically/Democratic) trap to allow them to speak their mind while keeping the opposition from speaking theirs?

I think discussion of issues can be made without using words like "truth haters" or mocking things that are sacred to some.

I am getting tired of reading all of the anti-UPC posts from both liberals and conservatives. I think one can disagree with policies without getting hateful about it!

I'm in a bad mood tonight, ain't I? I better log off!

I don't remember every agreeing with you as much as I do tonight. Not that my opinion matters to you. But thanks for making these statements.

I think a lot of us are - so is it time we draw the line in the sand?
