Was that the answer to the last question?

I had no idea.

It got me..

you can actually see the data and see which group got what questions wrong...

its pretty funny 50% of catholics don't know what the bread and wine become...

BUT even funnier that 7% of mormons don't know the founder of their religion LOL

You evidently make friends with the wrong people, Gail. I find most people helpful when they can be, and only hurtful when they have to be.

I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.

Ok then it's not your fault for being ridiculous. It's my fault for encouraging you. AF

Are you seriously arguing that France hasn't undergone any cultural changes in 1500 years?


No.... I'm not arguing that. I didn't say anything like that. Why don't you get a fething clue?


Go feth yourself, you slowed idiot. Your every argument in this thread has been utter fething bs.

You're a fycking joke. You're usinbg the space between your ears for sh!t storage. It's a cesspool.

You are so fething stupid it takes amazing self-control for everyone here to not just laugh at the dumb, ridiculous gak that comes out of your mouth.

"God is real because it makes me happy, and all atheists are unhappy, plkus religion helps societies survive and secularism destroys societies, except all those religious societies that failed and the secular ones that survive, DUR DURR DUR."

Fcking slow.


You are doing exactly to people what you are accusing them of doing to you: distorting their arguments and insulting them.

I do not agree with all of AF's opinions on the topics we've discussed in this thread, but his arguments were not "utter fething bs" He backed up his arguments and stood his ground without losing his head, and you know what? I respect that. I don't have to agree with him to respect the fact that he's got an opinion and he is willing to defend it earnestly and civilly. I cannot say the same for you unfortunately.

No gak.

World War 2 only happened because COWARDS like the members of this forum did nothing.

Because that's humanity: Weak, pathetic, cowardly pieces of gak.

If we're ignoring him, it's because you're being far more vitriolic and drawing attention to yourself.

Use the fething ignore button and you never have to worry about him again. If you're really taking a faceless poster's opinion this seriously over Dakka, then I suggest you find a more civil, less right-leaning forum.

I don't like the conservative slant here either, but I learned to deal with it.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

If they don't get a response, then they just look pathetic.

Don't respond to them. You're entitled to your opinion, but don't you dare compare this to Nazi Germany. One was a murderous regime that couldn't be stopped with the press of a button, but the other is a dispute on a forum that *can* be stopped with the press of a button.

Well Gailbraithe, it is quite clear my perception of the situation between yourself and MR/others has been entirely different.

I viewed it as heated arguments between people with differing opinions, which got out of hand on several occasions.

You apparently feel that you have been persecuted unjustly, and that no-one was willing to step in and help you. That sucks, but I don't agree that it was the case.

You have quite clearly become infuriated and snapped, to the point where you seem to have abandoned some of what I perceived your own moral principles to be.

Honestly, I will be sorry to see you leave dakka (which is probably what is going to happen here), as even if I disagree with many of your positions, you have sparked several interesting discussions/debates.

Now feel free to point out how I'm a dirty animal who deserves to die; I hope that this outburst has at least been cathartic.

Locking out for now.

Frazzled Mod editing.
Sadly Gailbraithe will no longer be joining us for future conversations. As a reminder, when you feel the need to freakout, its always helpful to go go for a walk, or sit outside and watch children play. Worse to worse watch a weiner dog try to run.


And remember, Weinie Legions are coming, coming for you!
