Divorce agreement...

The fact that this conversation went from politics to religion as quickly and totally as it did, shows me that the second post is more true than I ever imagined.


Also, even though many of us have seen these emails posted in various places a million times before, not everyone has. So, in the future, if people would put things that they are just reposting into a quote box, it will really cut down on people arguing directly with posters instead of concepts.

I never addressed the original 2 posts, because I recognized them for what they are- satire & commentary... seen them before.. but I disagree that the second post is accurate simply because some chose to DISCUSS religion.. it's one thing to discuss one's viewpoint, completely another to force that view on another... Besides, the thread has now moved on to a discussion about cars- I'll introduce our favorite subject now: How much weight would the roof of your average Subaru support? could you attach a .50Cal belt-fed Machine gun up there without reinforcement?

I'm struggling to find the words to make my point. The second paragraph focuses on religion more than politics; so does most of the conversation in this thread. No matter anyone's beliefs, why hasn't anyone pointed out that political conservatism is completely independent from religious beliefs? I could hardly make it through the second post because it fails in the very first sentence and continues down that failed path.

I can't comment on the first post because I didn't read it this time.

I see your point now- because it's the standard tact of the left.. associate them with something emotional & then attack it based on emotion... because their position fails logic. the thread followed the same path just as a response to the 2nd post..

It's simple really.

The Right views "liberals" (even Libertarians apparently) as folks who want socialism, welfare babies, crime, no work ethic, and extreme gun control.

The Left views "conservatives" as two faced bigots who proclaim their love of God and Country and Family (as long as said conservatives can still have their Happy Fun Time in the airport stall, or diddle the 14 year old congressional page, or embezzle a few hundred million from their company).

So, the OP was all about the perceived failings of social policies (re: welfare, gun control, etc). My post was about the failing of legislating morals (which requires some amount of religion). Both are totally and equally absurd.

I mean, I really figured someone would notice the "dancing" bit and figure out it was humor.

Some one else summed it up best with the Golden Rule: treat others as you would want to be treated. Conversely, your treatment of others determines others' treatment of you.

It's probably the same as any other compact sedan. I believe gubmint roll tests require them to be able to survive being dropped on their roof, but it probably wouldn't be the best looking chopped down car after that.

I think the real solution is the sunroof. Crank that baby open, and mount a pole from the transmission hump up out the sunroof to mount the ma duece.

I'd probably take my Jeep if it came to that, anyway.
