I dont really talk religion with anyone. If people want to believe one thing, im cool with it. I just hate people who try to shove their beliefs on you. I never make fun of anyone for their religion and respect their beliefs as long as they respect mine. I jst want nothing to do with the church.

S&Wshooter 02-03-2010 10:26 PM

One of my buddies is real pushy about his religion. Every Sunday he's like "dude, why don't you come to church with me" and every time I take him up on his offer I get really uncomfortable during the service. Probably because I'm not Protestant like him (church is a time for prayer and somberness, not electric guitars and over-enthusiasm to the point of creepiness)

k9870 02-03-2010 10:39 PM

Snday is time to sleep in, work out and hang with friends:)

S&Wshooter 02-03-2010 10:49 PM

Amen to that. Too bad I'm an insomniac

I hear you there.

I am a non-practicing Catholic turned atheist. I was baptized but never confirmed, but I did used to attend Mass sometimes with my grandparents, who are very Catholic.

As for abortion, I am pro-choice generally (aside from last trimester). I especially don't like the idea of the government institutionalizing the idea that fetuses are really human, which is an idea that is almost universally rejected by anyone who has studied human development.

But the thing I don't like about abortion is that most of the women getting abortions are these middle- and upper-class feminist types who say "I'm not ready" to be a parent. Or they just don't want to deal with the stretch marks from child birth. Whereas the people who don't get abortions are mostly from the bottom of the gene pool - hillbillies, ghetto dwellers, Islamic immigrants, etc. In other words, people who really should not be breeding because they're only producing more mouths for our overburdened social security system to feed (not to mention, criminals and terrorists). I worry that this is going to lead to a demographic crash in the long run, where the scum and the leeches will out-breed the productive and intelligent. Europe already seems to be headed in this direction, and I don't want America to go the same way.

(And before anyone accuses me of being "racist", this has nothing to do with ethnicity - just behavior and ideas. There are plenty of people who are white that fall under my definition of "bottom of the gene pool".)

Like all those douchebag politicians?:D

Swordfish941 02-04-2010 09:58 PM

I'm a Roman Catholic who's strong in his beliefs and hates Christian rights. I don't support abortion since I consider fetuses to be human beings. I also hate the country of Saudi Arabia since you can't practice your own religion, women have virtually no rights, homosexuality and drunkeness are considered capital crimes. I also hate those idiotic liberals (I am a sensible liberal) who say that America is an imperial nation.

I can tell you right now that this is just not true, at least scientifically. I can't remember the best articles on it, but there aren't very many human development specialists who would agree with this. And I tend to trust scientists far more than the Bible.

No argument from me there. Saudi Arabia is one of the worst places in the world. Actually, all of the Arab world can disappear for all I care, but Saudi Arabia especially.

As for us being an "imperial" nation, I'd concede that it's true. I just tend to think that our form of "imperialism" isn't really evil, and WOULD benefit most of the world if unchecked. But alas, since all we get is grief, I say screw it.

ManiacallyChallenged 02-05-2010 12:29 AM

Hell, we're not democratic, we're a republic.
The politicians need to start getting that right.

k9870 02-05-2010 01:04 AM

It seems every girl ive known whos gotten an abortion is a irresponsible slut. Sorry, its how i see it. About half of them have gotten multiple abortions. They just dont learn. Ive also known them to get hammered and abuse drugs several days a week. They fall back on abortion as a fail safe in case pull and pray fails. heard one telling her friends shes late but doesnt care since she can get an abortion again.

Except for Israel because it's main religion is Judiaism and the Jews have been history's scapegoats.

If you were to try to blame everything on the Jews nowadays the Mossad would kill you. With a blunt object

k9870 02-05-2010 01:51 AM

Or a supressed beretta model 70

S&Wshooter 02-05-2010 01:52 AM

A Jericho 941 or Glock 17 would be more likely

But Mossad hasn't killed Cartman yet? He's the worst!

ManiacallyChallenged 02-05-2010 02:08 AM

Wait, what are we talking about?
Guns or politics? Or both? Or religion? Or none of the above? Or ALL?

Spartan198 02-05-2010 02:15 AM

I think we've moved on to how and where Mossad would end you for trying to scapegoat the Jews. :D

k9870 02-05-2010 02:34 AM

I like how israeli military uses custom supressed ruger 10-22s in battle.

They'd get Daniel Graig and Eric Bana to kill you with zip guns that look like bicycle pumps ;)

Alcatrazz 02-05-2010 05:52 AM

Eric Bana and Daniel Craig in the same room as me... I'm okay with that.

S&Wshooter 02-06-2010 12:40 AM

I'd rather chill with Bronson

ManiacallyChallenged 02-06-2010 03:37 AM

Brosnon?
Hell yes.

S&Wshooter 02-06-2010 03:47 AM

Bronson > Chuck Norris

because no matter how badass your roundhouses are, it won't save you from a bullet from Bronson's Wildey

Makes voting harder, that's for sure.

Just remember to keep your mouth shut around pretty much ALL the armorers in the movie industry. ;) LOL. Liberals are not called Libtards around here for nothing..... ;)

I do understand where you're coming from...in California, liberal insanity isn't just creating ridiculous new gun laws, it's hurting the armorers' businesses. But I do think you should keep in mind that being a liberal and being anti-gun are, contrary to popular belief, two different things.

Also, has anyone ever seen Democratic Underground? I'm not a member there (or a regular reader), but on another forum I visit, somebody pointed out that if you ever do read DU, you'll actually see quite a few members who talk about what guns they own. In fact, there have been some pretty vicious debates on that site between the gun-owning Democrats and the anti-gun Democrats.

Oh, I know the difference. But we are in the wonderful fairyland of CALIFORNIA! ;) But I know a lot of armorers and their immediate reaction would be pretty negative, being that I have not run into one yet who was a liberal. :D It's a combination of anti gun and generally disagreeing with them on most other issues.

All I'm saying is, if there's a schism between anti-gun Democrats and those with no interest in gun control, it's in your interest to encourage it. It's always useful to recognize potential allies.

Isn't that something that comes with the territory in your line of work? I mean, let's face it...you're a conservative pro-gunner working in an industry that is pretty much dominated by anti-gunners, limousine liberals, and guilt-complex Greens (my least favorite type of liberal, BTW). Surely, you've built up some tolerance for their bullshit by now?

S&Wshooter 02-06-2010 08:48 PM

Man, I have to deal with those "soccer mom" types who think anything that can hurt their precious baby is Satanic. Every time my brother brings home a new friend, their mom will see the Winchester 88 hanging on my wall when they come to pick the kid up and start bitching at me

Yeah, I know those types. They think that just because they spouted out a kid, they have the right to determine what's right and wrong, what's moral and immoral, and what you should and shouldn't do. They call it "moral concession", which translates out to (at least in my view) "you should do what I say is right". :rolleyes:

S&Wshooter 02-06-2010 10:35 PM

And then they talk about how they are environmentalists, all while driving gas guzzlers (rarely with anybody riding with them). I pity them because by sheltering their "precious baby" they ensure that they turn out to either be the kid who goes to prison by their early 20's or the kid that never moves out of his parent's basement

Think of the armorers as Jewish laborers in Auschwitz who are disciplined enough NOT to mouth off to the guards....... That's the tolerance you speak of ;) It's a tolerance of necessity. That forced tolerance goes out the window when one's job is NOT on the line. :)

MoviePropMaster2008, you are an invaluable part of this site, but I found that incredibly offensive, my being the grandson of a holocaust survivor. The two do not even compare in the least.

S&Wshooter 02-07-2010 12:11 AM

That's what I was thinking too

Swordfish941 02-07-2010 02:23 AM

MPM2008, I think you owe Alcatrazz an apology.

MT2008 02-07-2010 02:42 AM

It's a metaphor. You do know what a metaphor is, right? Of course MPM knows that they're not comparable.

Maybe it's a little insensitive, but if he had said, "Soviet laborers in the Gulag", would you have said anything? Or would that be disrespectful to the millions of people who died in the Gulags*? And would you have demanded an apology on their behalf?



*My grandfather was born in Ukraine and lost most of his immediate family to the Soviet famines of the 1920s.
