Mississippi Governor Proclaims Confederate Heritage Month

[Revoltingest]

I believe there are many, many different reasons why people fought, saved former slaves, etc. People, including politicians, used whatever worked on other people.

I'll do you a favor, & stop pressuring you on this point.

You're not bothering me one way or the other.

 

[Revoltingest]

You're not bothering me one way or the other.

Well, I wasn't trying to.
Don't make that a challenge.
After all, I am RF's top jerk.

 

[Kathryn]

Hey, I lay low around here, but I'm not an idiot myself. I can be a jerk if I want to be, which I generally don't want to be.

I don't think you're a jerk though. I mean, I think you CAN be but I don't think you're naturally a jerk.

 

[Revoltingest]

You would merely stand in my long shadow.
I once made Don Rickles weep from my abuse.

One needn't be alive around the Civil War era to discern it.
(Although I find having Abe Lincoln as a classmate useful.)

You had Abe Lincoln as a classmate? I heard he was pretty tough in his youth. Quite the wrestler, back in the days when wrestling wasn't fake.

A woman who things and feels like a man is not actually a man
I am claiming no such thing

This was in response to, "Our thoughts and feelings are what make us who we are.
You seem to be claiming that you can determine that other peoples' thoughts and feelings about who they are are wrong, based on your thoughts and feelings about them."

So you say you're not claiming what I've said above, and yet you now are claiming that a woman who things [sic] like a man is not actually a man." (whatever that means).
Which again, is a claim rooted in your supposed ability to read others' minds. The claim you said you weren't making. But just did.

It doesnt matter. Love is not a necessary condition for marriage.

And yet it does matter. Are you under the impression that most people don't marry out of love for the other person?

Based on...your opinion

Based on the facts of reality.

You haven't given a reason that shows that gay marriage is "pretend marriage." You've just claimed it.
Well, the married gay people I know would strongly disagree with your feelings on this

Slavery was legal was too. Telling me something is legal therefore it's ok is foolishness.

We're not talking about slavery. We're talking about marriage.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Not a 100% accurate statement.

Slavery is legally still alive and well. Just it's not in the hands of private citizens anymore.

Owning human beings as property is illegal in the United States.

Owning human beings as property is illegal in the United States.

Alas, in a post dictionary age,
every statement can be true.
