2006-05-31 [kittykittykitty]: Only if you heat the frogs up slowly... but what did that have to do with labels? o_O It would only be damaging if your thought affected your actions, but from what you said about people you never met and will never see again it wouldn't hurt anything ;)
2006-05-31 [RabidSphinx]: exactly...no one is hurt by me thinking something to myself...it's not like i see the queer and beat his ass for being a pansy...he'll go about his day thinking he's the shit of gayness never the wiser that i think he's a moron
2006-05-31 [BlindGuardian]: You never know they *are* a loss just for dressing like that. *refers back to 17:39:29*. We should try and see wether we are not labelling people so we can feel we are better than them
2006-05-31 [RabidSphinx]: i don't want to hang out with a fag-ass-loser regarles if he has a "wonderful personality" the desire to beat the fuck out of him would get tiring after a while...labeli
2006-05-31 [BlindGuardian]: But how could someone with a wonderful personality be a fag-ass-loser?
2006-05-31 [RabidSphinx]: personal life-style choices.
2006-05-31 [BlindGuardian]: not enough, in my opinion. I wouldn't despise Einstein, regardless of the fact that he didn't comb his hair.
2006-05-31 [RabidSphinx]: beautiful thing, being able to have different opinions on matters.. makes us unique. but hey, i judge harshly, but don't bitch when people do it to me...i may not like it, but fair is fair. i only get upset when people act on their opinions. bashing isn't cool.
2006-05-31 [BlindGuardian]: Only I do try to make the world a better place
2006-05-31 [RabidSphinx]: my inner-mind is no part of the world...^^
2006-05-31 [BlindGuardian]: *wonders why she feels so much alive*
2006-05-31 [RabidSphinx]: i also don't take it upone myself to personally fix the world's problems...i recycle, and kind the strangers, i donate my extra change to charity cups, and i vote...i'm already doinf my part, which is more than most people
2006-06-01 [zoloftzantac]: I have my CD collection arranged by type, then alphabetically
2006-06-01 [zoloftzantac]: In my experiance many of these labels tend to be a teenage topic for the most part. Many youths are strugeling to find their identity and end up "joining" some social clique as they try to "fit in" or be acepted by some while they explore being individuals. For some reason these social cliques often seem to fight with each other, I think this is mostly an effort to re-enforce the differances between the social cliques as the members are useing those differances to explore their own identities. At some point most poeple kinda figure out the basics of who they are and seem to spend their time on other things.
2006-06-01 [zoloftzantac]: Ofcourse there are many other lables of many flavors; Mexican, Biker, Junkie, Republican, Wiccan, Rich, Gay ... All of these draw steriotypes for me, and I think that is normal, but we should try to to judge others based on these labels, or at least try to never hate a stranger based on them.
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: i hate people in general, i am not picky...^^
2006-06-01 [zoloftzantac]: :(
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: Why is Wiccan a label?
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: I know people have often made it out to be a stereotype but it's not intended to be...
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: why is "Christian" a label, or "Jew"? it's a way of naming a group of people, thusm labeling them
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: I didn't say "Christian" or "Jew" was a label.
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: you asked why "Wiccan" is, and it is because of the same reason "Christian" and "Jew" is.
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: I didn't know Christian and Jew were labels.
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: Just because you're Wiccan or Christian or a Jew, doesn't mean you're bad x.x It's the act really, that makes you bad.
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: you never hear people being described as a Jew or a Christian? they are often used harshly, but they are stilled used to Label people...i'm upttight and conservative, and i happen to be christian, but i'm just labled as "Christian" as though that explains everything...
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: and who implied anything about any of those groups being bad?
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: No one, 'twas just saying. ._.
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: I've heard of people doing that, I just don't believe that they are stereotypes. People may use religion as a stereotype but they're not. I can't stand it when people do that.
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: though i beg to differ when it comes to wiccans
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: I read that. Thank you.
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: just rearranging my thoughts. sorry that i do not like foul witches.
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: That's lovely, I'm glad you don't like bad witches, I don't have a particular taste for them either.
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: all witches are foul, so fuck you witch
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: o.o
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: Why are all witches foul? Seems like a huge generalization to me...
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: the people are infl;uanced and worship a great evil. reguardless of how nice they are personally, they are evil.
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: What is it that you believe Wiccans worship?
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: pagan gods/spirits
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: And what/whom is it you believe they are influenced by?
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: o.O I associate witches with doing magic. There's white magic and black magic, you know, white good, black bad. So, I don't really see how all are bad. The good help, while the bad destroy... ._.
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: all magic , or magick, is bad.
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: How?
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: Not all Wiccans worship Pagan Gods
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: i didn't say just pagan gods
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: Do you know what magick is?
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: i have read into it.
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: So how is all magic bad?
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: Reading above... I think it's fabulous to have a forum for those who wish to share their various thoughts, comments, opinions - HOWEVER, I don't believe it's okay to make unfounded, malicious remarks about each other here...
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: [The Peircing Howl] Not all magick is bad...
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: ...I was just looking for a reasonable answer... ._.
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: I know not all magic is bad... [RabidSphinx] said it was, and I was wondering why...
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: nothing i have said (since you're implying me in your comment) is "unfounded"...
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: magick is all centered around spiritsm and the roots of all that is evil. wicca is a false made-up religion anyways. some women made it up in the 50s to make themselves feel significant. it's meaningless
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: So it's wrong to say a spell (with someone's permission) to heal them of an injury/sicknes
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: So enlighten me, please, to your basis for making the comment to [Bookwyrm]...
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: Gerald Gardner brought up Wicca, not "some women". And yes it was in the 50's, but that doesn't make it a false religion.
2006-06-01 [RabidSphinx]: yes it does.
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: Then what about the Baptist people, and Penacostles... Since their religion is not 'Christian', that makes it a false religion, and yet, they still worship the same God...
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: [The Peircing Howl] - it is not 'wrong' to say a spell for someone to heal them of an illness or injury... It is most definitely preferable to have their permission, but if obtaining their permission is not a viable option, and your intent is pure, it is okay
2006-06-01 [Raiyr]: Yeah, I know... Talked about it with my mom before.
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: My sense is that [RabidSphinx] is referring to Dianic Wicca when she references "some women" making up Wicca to make themselves feel significant... and if I'm incorrect, [RabidSphinx], please let me know
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: Well, you are entitled to your opinion, I'm not going to try and change that. However I would appreciate it if you would limit yourself from insulting me on this wiki. If you would like to yell and scream at me, please do it in private messages, as there is no reason to insult other people that are members of this wiki who have done nothing wrong. This wiki also happens to be about tolerance, acceptance, and anti-hate so I believe you are choosing the wrong place to battle this out. I appreciate your opinion, and you have every right to express it in a polite, respectful manner. But please, resist the urge to insult people for any reason you may have on this wiki.
2006-06-01 [~*Astarte*~]: Well spoken, [Bookwyrm]
2006-06-01 [Bookwyrm]: Ah, that would make a little sense then. Thank you for clearing that up [~*Astarte*~].
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: i don;'t hate you, just everything about you...^^
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: I didn't say that you hated me, [RabidSphinx], I never claimed that at all. However I believe you chose the wrong wiki to insult members for any reason, particularly religion, considering this wiki is a Safe Zone. Although that may mean nothing to you, it means something to others of us. And it should be respected. I don't mind if you hate me, or if you hate everything about me...that's perfectly fine...but if you wish to insult me, take it to private messages.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: .yes, that means nothing to me...i don't respect things i find stupid, sorry. (safezone) your presence disturbs me
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: Well I'm sorry that you find the Safezone stupid, but I know that you don't find [zoloftzantac] stupid, and should therefore at the very least respect his wishes.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: i do respect his wishes, i don't kill people in his wiki...^^ and safezones are retarded and pathetic places where retards gather to but-f*ck each other in the celebration of their ignorance.
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: ::sighs, touching her hand to her forehead:: Alright [RabidSphinx], I'm going to leave you to your insults. If you wish to further insult me, take it to private messages, otherwise, refrain from responding to my comments with anything offensive. If you must, do so in the private messages. I acknowledge your opinion, and thank you for expressing it.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: 4 days without sleep makes RD a difficult girl...sorry that my thinking "safezones" are retarded. they simply don't exist. it's the moment that you feel "safe" that upi are hurt the most because your guard is down. there is no such thing as a "safe zone"
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: I acknowledge your opinion, and thank you for expressing it.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: tthat wasn't an opinion, it's a fact
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: I acknowledge your opinion, and thank you for it.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: it isn't an opinion...^^
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: I'm not arguing with you anymore. I'm tired, and I'm sick. I've kept a level-head with you as long as I possibly can. You will believe what you choose to believe, and I have no problem with that, I just don't appreciate being hated for not believing what you do, and I'm sorry that I don't, for your sake. But I don't, and don't expect me to. I'm sorry that you hate everything about me, but I'm not going to change for one person who will dislike me no matter what I do. I acknowledge your opinions, and accept them as your beliefs, and respect that you have your own beliefs. You can argue your point till the dawn of the next millenia, but I am through. Thank you once again.
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: Very well said [Bookwyrm]. Food for thought... Often times in life, when one is put in a situation of dealing with extreme anger, hatred and/or the self-loathing of another, it's often best to just walk away, so-to-speak. My experience has been that those who feel the need to spew venom are looking for something - attention maybe?
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: Thank you [~*Astarte*~].
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: i don't hate you for what you *don't* believe in, i dislike you for what you *do* believe in. and i won't dislike you no matter what you do...you just have to do that right things and be a decent person. and what i said wasn't an opinion...^^
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: You have shown great tolerance and respect - I can assure you it has been much appreciated from my space in ZZ's wiki
2006-06-02 [zoloftzantac]: The concept of a safe zone is a big deal to me. All of us have a responsibility to help make the wiki page a safe place for all. Anyone who can not do that is not welcome here. [RabidSphinx] it seems clear to me that you are in a bad mood and you are trying to agitate people, please do it else where, hatefull comments are not welcome here.
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: Thank you again [~*Astarte*~]. ^-^ I have appreciated your support.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: then amuse me...no one is online, nore have i been able to sleep in over four days now, i feel depressed, and everything makes me violently mad at the moment....what
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: Amuse you? Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe it's anyone's responsibility to amuse you. In addition, using excuses to justify malicious, hateful behavior is simply not okay.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: then deal with it or go away, it's not an excuse, just as explanation, there is a f*cking differance. an excuse would be my trying to get away with it, and explanation is simple the reason behind it.
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: As [zoloftzantac] and [Bookwyrm] have reiterated - this is a [Safe Zone] - a place to share ideas, thoughts, beliefs, etc. without fear of being attacked for doing so.
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: I get that you believe you've given an explanation, but in my experience, an explanation is something one offers with an ammends, if one has done or said something inappropriate, and is trying to get others to understand. An excuse is a description of why that same person feels they have a right to act in a hurtful, malicious manner.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: you all were bothered by my words written, iu don't feel bad about it, but i doesn't mean i'm excusing the behavior. i can't help it that i'm apathetic and just don't give a f*ck.
2006-06-02 [zoloftzantac]: You can't help how you feel, but you can help your behavior and take responsibility for your actions. A safe zone is not the place to be insulting or to be hateful to others. I was interested in this conversation before in got off track.
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: I'm sorry to hear that you don't care about the effect your words and actions have on others. It sounds to me like you're choosing to blame something or someone for your apathy, as you said you "can't help it."
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: they are being just as harsh back, so it's all fair and equal
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: well, you want to fix me witch? sure go a head. call me. i lost my only person i could call and talk to about my issues, so you want the job? it's HOURS of fun....
2006-06-02 [zoloftzantac]: *calls her*
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: [zoloftzantac] if you view comments I've made as being harsh, insulting or hateful to anyone in this wiki, please let me know.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: being Condescending is just as hurtful...^^
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: I'm sorry, but I really don't remember being harsh...and while I may have been slightly cold to you after you said "fuck you witch" I don't ever remember being as harsh as you. I never said "fuck you Christian", because I have nothing wrong with Christianity, nor Christian people. So please, don't lie about me, insult me fine - I can handle that. But please don't lie.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: i'm not lying...read my comment above
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: RD, it's not my job to fix anyone else but myself. I'm sorry to hear you've lost someone you trusted enough to share your challenges with.
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: I was not condescending to you. I never treated you like a child. I treated you with respect, and tried to stay civil-tongued with you. You refused to remain the same way with me.
2006-06-02 [RabidSphinx]: bye
2006-06-02 [~*Astarte*~]: I wish you well...
2006-06-02 [catelf]: Coming back to about 3 pages of comments ago... I was doing a little bit of research into Wicca a few months ago. The majority of it seems to have come from a report by Margaret Murray, published in the early 1930s, the majority of which has now been discredited. (Not all. But most of it). She was an Egyptologist at around the same time as Howard Carter, and there is an opinion that she rushed out her thesis without checking any of it made sense or used proper evidence... well, because of a certain amount of jealousy. She also wasn't taken seriously because she was a woman. However, her ideas seem to have lasted a lot longer in general opinion that they've been taken seriously historically.
2006-06-02 [catelf]: A lot of the figures iabout witchcraft in the Da Vinci Code, for example, originally came from Murray. History lesson over. Sorry about all that, but I find Murray fascinating and it might be good to get away from all the unpleasantness of the comments in the next two pages on from that, no?
2006-06-02 [Bookwyrm]: I think you may have missed some more unpleasantness before that, but yes I agree.
2006-06-03 [RabidSphinx]: i got 2 hours of sleep..good to go for another week i think
2006-06-05 [HowlofDoom]: ...bleh..... so how is everyone?
2006-06-05 [Bookwyrm]: Tired - but alright ^-^ How are you?
2006-06-05 [HowlofDoom]: I'm ok...
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: Are you sure? ::hugs::
2006-06-06 [Bran the Blessed]: What is your problem [RabidSphinx] really. You clame that you are this amazing christian but all you are doing is putting others down. I know some really good Christians who accept others for who they are and try teach NOT INSULT them on thier beliefs. I'm wiccan but you don't see me bashing you cause your christian so just lay off of [Bookwyrm]
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: Sweetie...plea
2006-06-06 [Bran the Blessed]: No. It's not. This is supposed to be wiki that hates hate but all I'm seeing is hate.
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: Well there are some really kind members here that respect the safe zone rule. Believe me, hate's not all that's here, I promise. And I appreciate you sticking up for me, you know I do, but I'd simply rather not respond at all.
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: Can we just drop it all, PLEASE? Thank you.
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: I'm not yelling at anyone. And I think that he thought you were insulting me when you said "fat".
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: No that's not, and please let's not insult anyone anymore. This is not the place.
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: No I didn't, [HowlofDoom] did, and you shouldn't call yourself fat as you're not, and I know you don't think you are. That would be ridiculous.
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: No, I don't know you - however I've read your page. Including your fat vs. thin "rant" if you will.
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: Okay, fine, then I retract my statement. I am obviously wrong in thinking that you did not believe you were fat, however I may disagree with you. I do not believe you are so, but if you would like to think that - that's okay, it is up to you what you do with your body and I wish you all the best fortune in your endeavors.
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: I also apologize for assuming, incorrectly I might add, that you thought that you were thin (or not fat).
2006-06-06 [Bookwyrm]: Well yet again, I apologize, and wish you the best of luck.
2006-06-06 [BlindGuardian]: *remembers her bulimic sister*
2006-06-07 [zoloftzantac]: There was a misunderstandi
2006-06-07 [Bookwyrm]: We weren't. There was a misunderstandi
2006-06-07 [zoloftzantac]: I never said anyone called her a liar, and my comment was more directed towards [Bran the Blessed] and the way that he jumped on RD over a missunderstand
2006-06-07 [Bookwyrm]: ::sighs:: I'm just going to leave this wiki alone for a while. ::curtsies:: Thank you for your courtesy zoloft.
2006-06-07 [RabidSphinx]: i knew i should have deleted my comments before logging off that gaddamn computer...
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: hey... who made witch leave? grrr
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: i did apparently, isn't that fantastic?
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: that's not cool rd
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: cry me a river
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: i've cried too much for ppl already
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: blah blah blah...emo crap, i don't care
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: emo for one is a type of music.. not person damn it... and i don't have a label.. I am ME... and how can you claim to be a person of God if you don't care for your fellow man>
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: it's become a label for an attitude too now, so quit bitching like i don't know the hystory of that shit. why is it that it's always everyone ELSE that brings God up? fuck you. if you don't like my God then shut the fuck up about him already!
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: and who is YOUR God? You can worship whatever God you want.... it's your life...... but please... this is a no hate zone
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: Jehovah. and don't fucking preach to me about MY OWN religion if you would not like it if i were to do the same to you about yours! just because i'm a christian does NOT mean i have to like EVERYONE! in fact, it limits greatly the kinds of people i CAN like!
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: Are you a Jehovah's witness too then?
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: Jehovah is the name for the Jewish and Christian god.
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: ah... well alot of ppl don't know that
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: alot of people are morons....and yes, i am a Witness, or at least raised one. i just consider myself a general Christian though
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: Interesting...
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: "lost" yeah, that's one way of putting it
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: why are you so angry with the world? or is it that you are just angry with those who claim you not to be christian? I understand but..... you shouldn't be so heartless..... well... you aren't.... but.... you are an angry person.... just as i can be
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: "Fiery " is a word often used to describe me...and you don't really want to know why i am the way i am...the few people i have tried to explain that too ended up only feeling "bad" for me and i don't need that. i don't need your pity or understanding. i'm just a stupid bitch. knowing that makes it so much easier to hate me. go a head, join the fucking club, i don't care
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: ah... i understand....
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: good attitude to have.
2006-06-08 [HowlofDoom]: glad you think so
2006-06-08 [zoloftzantac]: [RabidSphinx]: Calling people morons and saying "fuck you" is not a good way to respect this safe zone. You need to try to be more tolerant if you want to keep posting here.
2006-06-08 [BlindGuardian]: "Jehovah is the name for the Jewish and Christian god" Actually, there are no vowels in the Jewish writings, so the name of God is spelt YHWH. The correct way to pronounce that would be Yahveh, but some asshole wrote it as Jehovah, which is a word with no real meaning at all....
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: it is a "translation" int o ELNGLISH not the exact name thank you very much. i know about there not being any vowels, and there are actuall close to six ways of say, spelling, and writing the name. so don't try and teach me about my own religion
2006-06-08 [kittykittykitty]: Didn't we all learn something fun today ^_^ Please can we change the subject now?
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: i got to talk to my BF on the pnone last night. it was nice
2006-06-08 [kittykittykitty]: You don't live close? :(
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: no...he lives in North Carolina and i live in New York
2006-06-08 [*Suicidal Cupcake*]: awww, that must be sad cuz you cant see him, but at least you have a bf
2006-06-08 [RabidSphinx]: yeah. i feel bvery lucky to have him. he's the best thing that has ever happened to me. i hope i will be allowed to meet him somday soon too. that wpuld be nice.
2006-06-08 [death how i long to embrace you]: ello raine
2006-06-09 [RabidSphinx]: hello
2006-06-09 [death how i long to embrace you]: how have you been?
2006-06-09 [RabidSphinx]: honestly? horrible.....w
2006-06-09 [death how i long to embrace you]: what wrong?
2006-06-09 [RabidSphinx]: that seems to have little to do with how i asked you were.. :/

2006-06-09 [RabidSphinx]: well, it would seem rather cold of me not to show some sort of reaction to you saying you were "not to well" yourself....my not be my fault but i'm always at a loss for words at what to say to such things. "sucks to be you" doesn't seem right,..."sorr

2006-06-15 [~*Astarte*~]: Has anyone seen "An Inconvenient Truth?" http://www.cli
2006-06-15 [RabidSphinx]: what is it about? more brainwashing and propaganda?
2006-06-15 [BlindGuardian]: why brainwashing? As far as I see, the subject is rather interesting and controverted. Somehow reminds me of "Bowling for Columbine". Is that brainwashing too?
2006-06-15 [RabidSphinx]: Yes, bowling for columbine was shit. i watched the trailer for this film and though it seems interesting i do not trust it's facts, sources, and it seems overly sensationalize
2006-06-15 [BlindGuardian]: *remember when her History teacher told her dictators usually hate and try to get rid of intellectuals*
2006-06-15 [~*Astarte*~]: I believe movies, documentaries, etc. can only brainwash one if one allows them to do so... I believe they can open our eyes, ears, minds and hearts to subjects we either haven't thought about before (or thought much about) or to subjects we've become desensitized to.
2006-06-15 [~*Astarte*~]: Educatiing one's self about a subject matter doesn't mean that one will agree with or support everything one sees or hears... It simply means giving one's self more information to be exposed to so that in the end, one can make a well-informed decision about those subject matters that one feels passionate about.
2006-06-15 [~*Astarte*~]: Thank you for sharing your thoughts, [RabidSphinx]. I have not yet seen the movie, but plan to do so.
2006-06-15 [~*Astarte*~]: Thank you, too, [BlindGuardian] for sharing your thoughts. I've not yet seen "Bowling for Columbine" and would like to.
2006-06-16 [zoloftzantac]: I think Michael Moore's films are amazing. He has a very strong bias, so don't take it with out thinking, but one should never do that anyway.In Bowling for Columbine he takes a kid in a wheel chair who was shot and still had bullets in his body on a field trip. He takes the kid to Kmarts trying to return the bullets.
2006-06-16 [BlindGuardian]: I think that was an excess. Or leaving a dead girl's picture in Charlton Heston's house.
2006-06-16 [RabidSphinx]: Michael Moore is a fat jack-ass. i thought him taking the kid to do that was a DISGUSTING thing to do! oh yeah, and screw you BG or you WILL be the first i will kill when i "rule te world" pregnant and all.
2006-06-16 [BlindGuardian]: Nice of you. Meanwhile, would you let me your seat? My back is kinda aching today ^_^. I don't think old Mike a jack-ass, I would consider him more like an independent thinker.
2006-06-16 [kittykittykitty]: The awards are being delivered ^__^ *rubs [BlindGuardian]'s back*
2006-06-16 [Ringbearer]: *bows*
2006-06-16 [zoloftzantac]: Sarah, your hatefull comments are not welcome here. I know you know better. Since you have blocked me in messages I'm not going to make any further effort to communicate this to you. Talking about killing people on this wiki is not allowed at all. Your mean, attidude is was never welcome here. Please stop now. // Yes, it was supposed to seem excessive, but what was more dishusting? Takeing the kid to Kmart, or some asshole having easy access to inexpensive over the counter killing tools and then useing them to accidentaly destroy a young strangers ability to walk. That move almost single handedly caused enough stir up to get Kmart to stop selling bullets. I think that is a huge victory.
2006-06-16 [zoloftzantac]: You may not like Micheal Moore, but he is a non-violent radical who is very close to my heart. His movies may disgust you, but much like myself, much of the world disgusts him, and he is doing someting about it without killing abortion doctors or suicide bombing. Charlton Heston is a public figure who is a very outspoken supporter of the NRA, he has fought against every gun control law ever and held nearby big pro-gun ralleys after a few school shootings right before the movie was made. If one will fight so strongly against *any* gun control then shouldn't they be made to look at the harm that lack of gun control cuases?
2006-06-16 [~*Astarte*~]: [zoloftzantac] - thank you for sharing your thoughts... I read the hate-filled message from [RabidSphinx] to [BlindGuardian] this morning and was so sad to see such pure hatred and hurt in a wiki comment. As you know, I am a very tolerant person, and do really try to understand other's viewpoints - *sigh*...
2006-06-16 [~*Astarte*~]: However, hatred, extreme anger and rage are feelings/behav
2006-06-16 [~*Astarte*~]: And being a mom to three boys - making remarks such as the above to someone who is pregnant - tis just plain yucky...
