This is an example of the all pervasive mind fuck these religious arseholes are spreading through time and the lives of others....
Going back a few thousand years... the "jews" were holocausting the fuck out of the middle east...
All sorts of off springs of that evil cult, were slaughtering millions over the centuries in Europe and where ever they spread their plauge by "missionary".
Then comes the people in Germany..... the most christian country in the world.
Alois Hitler June 7, 1837 – January 3, 1903) was the father of Adolf Hitler. Baptized Roman Catholic at infancy. Remained Roman Catholic his whole life.
Cathoholic / Alcoholic - used to bash the crap out of Adolf when he was a child...
Klara Hitler (August 12, 1860 - December 21, 1907), was the mother of Adolf Hitler by her husband Alois. She was a devout Roman Catholic and went to church regularly.
"I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits", said Hitler... "Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organization of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organization into my own party... I am going to let you in on a secret... I am founding an Order... In my "Burgs" of the Order, we will raise up a youth which will make the world tremble... Hitler then stopped, saying that he couldn't say any more.." Hermann Rauschning, former national-socialist chief of the government of Dantzig: "Hitler m'a dit", (Ed. Co-operation, Paris 1939, pp.266, 267, 273 ss).
And lately:
Residents of Melbourne (Australia) are disgusted that "nasty, discriminating hatemail" has arrived unsolicited into their mailboxes this week.
The '10 Reasons Why homosexual 'marriage' is harmful and should be opposed' pamphlet is courtesy of Catholic group Australian TFP and their new campaign Defending Natural Marriage.
Included among the 'reasons' the leaflet details are a number of anti-gay slurs designed to vilify homosexuals as sinful and unnatural.
The fear-mongering 'slippery slope' argument has rarely been as nakedly employed as it is here. Quote: "If homosexual 'marriage' is universally accepted as the present step in sexual 'freedom', what logical arguments can be used to stop the next steps of incest, pedophilia, bestiality, and other forms of unnatural behavior?"
It is not known how many properties have received the leaflet this week.
"It's just wrong that they do a letter drop," says a concerned Melbourne resident who shared it on Facebook today, prompting several shocked reactions.
"I'm not gay, however my housemate is, and so are many friends of mine," he tells Same Same. "I have no issue with the church being opposed to gay marriage, it's a religious ceremony. But do go to these lengths, and to basically go into letterboxes saying how wrong it is to be 'gay' is just unfair."
"Disgusting, discriminating junkmail," comments about the pamphlet on his Facebook page summed up. "It's thoughtless nonsense like this that divides society."
The full text of the pamphlet is shown below.
1. It Is Not Marriage
Calling something marriage does not make it marriage. Marriage has always been a covenant between a man and a woman which is by its nature ordered toward the procreation and education of children and the unity and wellbeing of the spouses.
The promoters of same-sex "marriage" propose something entirely different. They propose the union between two men or two women. This denies the self-evident biological, physiological, and psychological differences between men and women which find their complementarily in marriage. It also denies the specific primary purpose of marriage: the perpetuation of the human race and the raising of children.
Two entirely different things cannot be considered the same thing.
2. It Violates Natural Law
Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It is a relationship rooted in human nature and thus governed by natural law.
Natural law's most elementary precept is that "good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided." By his natural reason, man can perceive what is morally good or bad for him. Thus, he can know the end or purpose of each of his acts and how it is morally wrong to transform the means that help him accomplish an act into the act's purpose.
Any situation which institutionalizes the circumvention of the purpose of the sexual act violates natural law and the objective norm of morality.
Being rooted in human nature, natural law is universal and immutable. It applies to the entire human race, equally. It commands and forbids consistently, everywhere and always. Saint Paul taught in the Epistle to the Romans that the natural law is inscribed on the heart of every man. (Rom. 2:14-15)
3. It Always Denies a Child Either a Father or a Mother
It is in the child's best interests that he be raised under the influence of his natural father and mother. This rule is confirmed by the evident difficulties faced by the many children who are orphans or are raised by a single parent, a relative, or a foster parent.
The unfortunate situation of these children will be the norm for all children of a same-sex "marriage." A child of a same-sex "marriage" will always be deprived of either his natural mother or father. He will necessarily be raised by one party who has no blood relationship with him. He will always be deprived of either a mother or a father role model.
Same-sex "marriage" ignores a child's best interests.
4. It Validates and Promotes the Homosexual Lifestyle
In the name of the "family," same-sex "marriage" serves to validate not only such unions but the whole homosexual lifestyle in all its bisexual and transgender variants.
Civil laws are structuring principles of man's life in society. As such, they play a very important and sometimes decisive role in influencing patterns of thought and behavior. They externally shape the life of society, but also profoundly modify everyone's perception and evaluation of forms of behavior.
Legal recognition of same-sex "marriage" would necessarily obscure certain basic moral values, devalue traditional marriage, and weaken public morality.
5. It Turns a Moral Wrong into a Civil Right
Homosexual activists argue that same-sex "marriage" is a civil rights issue similar to the struggle for racial equality in the 1960s.
This is false.
First of all, sexual behavior and race are essentially different realities. A man and a woman wanting to marry may be different in their characteristics: one may be black, the other white; one rich, the other poor; or one tall, the other short. None of these differences are insurmountable obstacles to marriage. The two individuals are still man and woman, and thus the requirements of nature are respected.
Same-sex "marriage" opposes nature. Two individuals of the same sex, regardless of their race, wealth, stature, erudition or fame, will never be able to marry because of an insurmountable biological impossibility.
Secondly, inherited and unchangeable racial traits cannot be compared with non-genetic and changeable behavior. There is simply no analogy between the interracial marriage of a man and a woman and the "marriage" between two individuals of the same sex.
6. It Does Not Create a Family but a Naturally Sterile Union
Traditional marriage is usually so fecund that those who would frustrate its end must do violence to nature to prevent the birth of children by using contraception. It naturally tends to create families.
On the contrary, same-sex "marriage" is intrinsically sterile. If the "spouses" want a child, they must circumvent nature by costly and artificial means or employ surrogates. The natural tendency of such a union is not to create families.
Therefore, we cannot call a same-sex union marriage and give it the benefits of true marriage.
7. It Defeats the State's Purpose of Benefiting Marriage
One of the main reasons why the State bestows numerous benefits on marriage is that by its very nature and design, marriage provides the normal conditions for a stable, affectionate, and moral atmosphere that is beneficial to the upbringing of children—all fruit of the mutual affection of the parents. This aids in perpetuating the nation and strengthening society, an evident interest of the State.
Homosexual "marriage" does not provide such conditions. Its primary purpose, objectively speaking, is the personal gratification of two individuals whose union is sterile by nature. It is not entitled, therefore, to the protection the State extends to true marriage.
8. It Imposes Its Acceptance on All Society
By legalizing same-sex "marriage," the State becomes its official and active promoter. The State calls on public officials to officiate at the new civil ceremony, orders public schools to teach its acceptability to children, and punishes any state employee who expresses disapproval.
In the private sphere, objecting parents will see their children exposed more than ever to this new "morality," businesses offering wedding services will be forced to provide them for same-sex unions, and rental property owners will have to agree to accept same-sex couples as tenants.
In every situation where marriage affects society, the State will expect Christians and all people of good will to betray their consciences by condoning, through silence or act, an attack on the natural order and Christian morality.
9. It Is the Cutting Edge of the Sexual Revolution
In the 1960s, society was pressured to accept all kinds of immoral sexual relationships between men and women. Today we are seeing a new sexual revolution where society is being asked to accept sodomy and same-sex "marriage."
If homosexual "marriage" is universally accepted as the present step in sexual "freedom," what logical arguments can be used to stop the next steps of incest, pedophilia, bestiality, and other forms of unnatural behavior? Indeed, radical elements of certain "avant garde" subcultures are already advocating such aberrations.
The railroading of same-sex "marriage" on the American people makes increasingly clear what homosexual activist Paul Varnell wrote in the Chicago Free Press:
"The gay movement, whether we acknowledge it or not, is not a civil rights movement, not even a sexual liberation movement, but a moral revolution aimed at changing people's view of homosexuality."
10. It Offends God
This is the most important reason. Whenever one violates the natural moral order established by God, one sins and offends God. Same-sex "marriage" does just this. Accordingly, anyone who professes to love God must be opposed to it.
Marriage is not the creature of any State. Rather, it was established by God in Paradise for our first parents, Adam and Eve. As we read in the Book of Genesis: "God created man in His image; in the Divine image he created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them, saying: 'Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.'" (Gen. 1:28-29)
The same was taught by Our Savior Jesus Christ: "From the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife." (Mark 10:6-7).
Genesis also teaches how God punished Sodom and Gomorrah for the sin of homosexuality: "The Lord rained down sulphurous fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah. He overthrew those cities and the whole Plain, together with the inhabitants of the cities and the produce of the soil." (Gen. 19:24-25)
So this is all of the same mind fuck bullshit used by arseholes like Bill Wilson and the christian cult, and their mind fuck bullshit in the AA "spiritual" program of recovery.
You want to know why AA is so bad, why is so dangerous for the recovering person?
Because it's cult based.
Sure Becket, I'll cut and paste the entire exchange. That is relatively simple, though slightly less simple than just scrolling up. But here we go. You said this:
"Does this rant mean you endorse alkieanon's and billybudd's and Clara's and becket's right to choose their own beliefs and to be exempt from censure by people on this forum (for starters)?"
I said this in response:
"Becket, that would be rather analogous to saying any of the atheists here should be exempt from criticism if we were to go hound people on Christians on a forum specifically for the discussion of Christian beliefs. Don't be absurd. There's a difference between having one's own beliefs and picking fights."
To which you replied:
"WHAT would be rather analagous . . .? When a post gets away from the point it's responding to, I am less and less inclined to chase it down to make the connection. Sorry.
Whatever it is you're trying to say, I'm pretty sure you are not understanding me. If you want to try again to make your point, please give me some sort of reference. Otherwise, onward and upward."
Then I tried to clarify again for you by quoting you, which still didn't seem to help:
"My reply was to your comment above:
"Does this rant mean you endorse alkieanon's and billybudd's and Clara's and becket's right to choose their own beliefs and to be exempt from censure by people on this forum (for starters)?"
Yes, they have the right to choose to believe as they do. That's completely different from the context of them coming to a forum against their beliefs to try and rile up people who hold entirely different ones. It would be rather analogous to an atheist going to a specifically Christian forum to pick fights. They're not mandated to be here, they choose to be, and to express their opposing view. You're the one so big on personal responsibility and freedom of choice, that's at least one thing you do make clear in your posts here. If you or anyone else doesn't want any sort of judgment made on you for the beliefs you hold, go over to e-AA and have a blast. But don't come here, pick a fight and then try to play the victim card (especially on behalf of other posters here who AREN'T trying to play that card for themselves).
Is my point a bit clearer now, or do I need to quote you again and then explain it out using very small words, Becket?"
Then you rambled on about it some more, yada yada yada, so I thought I'd put it all here for you to reread in the non-scrolling format. IS IT CLEAR NOW?!?!?
That's not the same context Alkie.

The extremists tend to make the most noise and easily rise to positions of power and influence. Anyone who doesn't subscribe to the political and moral (?) agenda of those extremists needs to make some noise. Even if they believe in the same God. Unless those Christians who belive in Jesus Christ as their savior but who don't believe that homosexuality is an abomination or who believe that same sex marriage is a human rights issue stand up to the evangelicals in power; it is guilt by associatiation. The extremists claim to represent the religious and faithful. They need to be challenged by those among you who don't subscribe to their version of God's will.
Religion makes me really upset. Faith in God can be a really good thing. Belief in religious doctrine can be a really bad thing.
"If I forget who I am, I am myself. If I remember who I am, I am you."
I really think it's more complicated than that. If it happens to be that Jesus is their Savior and that one precept brands them a Christian, why should they also be classified as a person that is also a hater, among other atrocious things? I think it's an unfair assessment.
In theory, than any person that has a desire to quit drinking is also an AA. That in turn also deems them a cultist, one that solicits prisons for members or spouts slogans, etc. Well, not unless they "make some noise"?
This analogy might not be the best, but it does help me explain my point. By definition, being a Christian (believer in Christ) does not mean they oppose gay rights, or solicit for their religion. I don't even think being a particular denomination does either, seeing that there may be a vast number of qualifications that signify it.

They should not be classified as a hater or other atrocious things based on their belief in Jesus Christ as their savior. That's not at all what I meant. Of course, being a Christian does not mean anyone automatically opposes gay rights. That's not what I am saying either. What I mean to say is that the vocal, evangelical Christians who do oppose gay rights (among other things) want to co-opt Christianity to suit their warped agenda. They are the ones out there telling the world that this that and the other thing is against God's will etc... They are the one's telling the world that real Christians must stand against such abominations as gay marriage or go straight to hell in a handbasket. My point is, that the many, many, many good people-who are also followers of Christianity-should stand up and say NO! This is not what my religion is about. This is not what Jesus would do. It's the old cliche: if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
As far as the AA analogy goes: this board exists (in part) because not everyone who has the desire to quit drinking is an AA and they are speaking up about it. Right?
"If I forget who I am, I am myself. If I remember who I am, I am you."
Gigi, some of the point I was trying to make was how the Evangelicals want to "co-opt Christianity to suit their warped agenda". You explained it well. And it isn't just gay rights as JIAF made it a point to express. It's almost very political. Like if you disagree with the Democratic view on abortion (for example), but agree with their supposed Health Plan, what do you do? Can't vote Republican because you despise their lack of a Health Plan but agree with their views on abortion. However, by definition of being American you should vote. .. A Christian doesn't always have a place to hang their hat, so to speak. I'm not claiming that it's a huge problem (Oh those poor babies), just noting that the situation is there.
This is an area that I get "lost". I don't understand how an extremist view can make the grade and have an impact in today's society in the U.S. At least not when it comes to societal law, etc. For example, I know someone that has the same approach as JIAF gives example of. She started off with a lot of "friends" on FB and email. Through her continuous hate rants and email messages her friend list dwindled to a handful.
I agree with you Gigi and I understand your distaste of what Religious Doctrine signifies for you.

Avo, this did tend to drive me a bit nuts when I was still Christian, too. People make a lot of assumptions based on your religion when it comes especially to social issues. I never even really met a terribly large number of people, especially in the Roman Catholic community, who were very far to the right on most of these issues. I know there are plenty, probably, but it wasn't easy to gauge people's beliefs on political matters just because they were sitting in the next pew.
I agree with this analogy, avogadno - the assumption that every Christian is a bible-wielding zealot ignores the shades of Christianity. The assumption that everyone who attends AA is a cultist, a headhunter, a zombie ignores the shades immersion in the program of AA.

That's appreciated. What is surprising is that I also agree with you in that - all AA's are not, and should not be accused of being "a cultist, a headhunter, a zombie ignores the shades immersion in the program of AA". What happens on this board and with me is that AA's are spoken of generally and an * is not provided to represent who we mean exactly. I do make that point on occasion. That it is the AA "guru" and AA organization that I loathe, not the average AA member. This is one reason that I express myself in such a way on this forum. There aren't many places that I feel comfortable in freely doing so. I don't want to hurt AA's. I also have friends that prefer the program.

A chocolate starfish is just a Christmas ornament from New Jersey.
I was born like this, do you think I would choose to be with a man?
It depends. Homosexuality was once voted on as a disease, but due to political pressure, the APA took another vote and removed it from the disease list. Alcoholism was not a disease for most of history, but largely thanks to 12 Step thumpers and the treatment industry, the APA voted to make it a disease. You might say "WTF?! So whether something is a disease depends on whether it gets voted onto the books by a bunch of money grubbing political hacks (who stand to profit) at the APA?" The answer is yes. That's exactly how it works. Make no mistake about it, the DSM is far more dangerous than the Big Book.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Here is how these medical politicians operate. This is an article from a right-wing doctor:
In the mid-1970's, the Board of Trustees of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) voted to remove the diagnostic category of "Homosexuality" from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, generally known as DSM and now in its fourth edition.
The vote at the time was highly controversial and divisive, and was widely understood as being political. The protocols, or reasons for the proposal, made it clear at the time that the intention was to reduce stigma and discrimination, and that the vote was not intended to indicate any final scientific determination regarding homosexuality.
Unfortunately, as is often the case, what is done by one generation with the best of intentions to improve social relationships becomes interpreted by the next generation as representing a solidly-based scientific conclusion.
Following the American Psychiatric Association's move, a number of other professional mental health organizations also took various positions declaring in one way or another, their support for the notion that homosexuality was not a disease or disorder, and that homosexuals were normal and psychologically healthy.
Within the American Psychiatric Association itself, over the next thirty years a very active Gay-Lesbian Caucus proceeded to instigate a number of other official position statements, which included the declaration that a particular form of psychotherapy intended to offer interested self-identified homosexuals the possibility of becoming comfortably heterosexual was unacceptable, potentially harmful, and should be banned.
Indeed, in more recent years the APA--pushed by this Gay-Lesbian Caucus--came very near to issuing a ban on any form of psychotherapy with self-identified homosexuals-- even if they wished for such psychotherapy themselves and came to a therapist purely voluntarily-on the grounds that as homosexuality was not an illness or a disease there cannot be any treatment.
Fortunately, this aroused considerable opposition-especially from outside the organization-and soon after was followed by the intervention of Dr. Robert Spitzer who is often looked upon as the "father" of DSM 3 and 4 and who was a major figure in the original effort to de-list homosexuality from the DSM.
Dr. Spitzer made the extraordinary gesture of saying "I'm a scientist, I'm prepared to re-examine the data," and then he conducted a review of a number of patients whose names were given to him by different psychotherapists.
Dr. Spitzer concluded that contrary to extremist gay activist claims, some people who had identified themselves as homosexual before therapy had in fact become comfortably heterosexual during the course of long-term psychotherapy. Did this mean that they never again experienced a homosexual fantasy or thought or desire? Of course, not. But just as the ex-alcoholic or the ex-drug addict has to recognize the factors that may precipitate a craving for the substance, and then use the tools learned to combat the craving, so too, do some formerly homosexual patients have to learn what may precipitate such fantasies and desires and how to deal with those when they arise.
Dr. Spitzer's conclusions, not surprisingly, came under vicious attack and reference has been made in the NARTH Bulletin to some of the criticisms of Spitzer, and the very weak foundations upon which those attacks are based.
But the APA Gay-Lesbian Caucus has moved on from fighting Spitzer to campaigning for support for same-sex marriage, and won an initial vote on this topic at the May 2006 meeting of the Assembly of the APA.
What Happened?
It is unlikely that most NARTH members are aware of how that vote came about and what steps will follow. As I am a member of the Assembly of the APA, I am taking this opportunity to share how this particular vote was achieved.
The APA is a large organization; it has 35,000 members, and as is true of most organizations of that size, and even larger, it has a professional staff to carry out its numerous and complicated daily activities. That professional staff is accountable to and overseen by a lay board and executive elected from the general membership.
The lay leadership is mainly made up of about 300 members of the parliament or "Assembly" of the APA. These are representatives from each state or district branch over the U.S. and Canada, plus representatives from various allied and affiliated groups.
But a 300-member group cannot supervise the professional staff on a close and immediate basis, therefore, from the Assembly is elected a much smaller Executive group in the APA, which is called the "Board of Trustees." It usually makes the final decisions for or against any new initiatives.
Early in 2006, the Gay-Lesbian Caucus had been proposing a motion that the APA support same-sex marriage.
The Board asked some of its sub-committees to examine the proposal, and to some people's surprise, those committees emerged quite divided, and in some cases rather strongly negative to the proposal.
The Gay-Lesbian Caucus nevertheless wanted to push on with its proposal and to take that to the next meeting of the larger Assembly, which was being held at the time of the general business meeting of the APA. This is held just before the much broader annual academic meeting of the organization, which in May 2006 was in Atlanta, Georgia.
When we, the members of the Assembly, gathered in Atlanta at the opening of the conference on a Friday afternoon, we were told that debate and discussion on the proposal would take place on the following Sunday before the conclusion of the Assembly, and that the press would be in attendance.
Various plenary and caucus group meetings take place on Friday and Saturday, and in at least one of these, one of the largest groups within the APA, psychiatrists from Massachusetts, indicated their intention to offer an alternative proposal, a proposal that they claimed was more scientifically based rather than the political proposal put forth by the Gay-Lesbian Caucus.
On the Sunday morning when the great debate was supposed to take place, a representative speaking on behalf of the Gay-Lesbian caucus introduced their proposal, and then the chairpersons of the main geographical areas into which the assembly is divided-there are seven of them-was asked to indicate how their particular area viewed this proposal. Most indicated that their area had been in favour, though in some cases, there was considerable division and the margin in favor was very small.
At that point though, the area that contains Massachusetts (Area 1 in the Assembly) announced its intention to offer its alternative proposal.
This threw the meeting into its first chaos, as a number of assembly members protested that they hadn't been given notice of this alternative proposal or had a chance to read and study it.
Those proposing it indicated that it had been available at a reference table from the beginning of the plenary session and was available to anyone to read.
Debate came to a stop while many members read the alternative proposal.
When it was deemed that sufficient time had been given to enable members to read and consider the alternative proposal, a request for a vote on it was made. But instead of the more usual vote by voice first--yes or no--then followed, if necessary, by counting heads, this vote request was then modified into a particular type of vote that requires filling out a ballot form, which has to be handed in and counted.
This obviously takes up a lot of time because there are close to 300 people voting. In addition, each of their votes is not a single vote but is actually representative of a much larger official number of members whom they are representing, which according to the area they live in or the organization they represent, may be hundreds of people. This made the final vote even more complicated.
So, while the vote was performed, and then collected and counted, the meeting continued with completely different business. Actually, much of the intervening business was various farewells and gifts to people completing their terms of office as representatives or officials.
What is very important to understand is that all debate/discussion had been stopped, and that, in fact, up to this point there had been no discussion. There has just been the presentation of the original proposal; the brief indication from each area of their caucus preference; and the presentation of an alternative proposal.
There had been no actual debate or discussion in the usual sense, of people speaking for and against the proposal, other than the original presenter. Nor, were any individuals free to challenge, question or refute many of the false and/or distorted claims made by the proposers.
Eventually, the counters came back with the result that the alternative Massachusetts proposal had been defeated by approximately a 55-44 majority vote.
At this point, we had reached the time when the debate was supposed to end, and the hall was to be cleared for the next event.
So, without any further debate or discussion, a quick hand vote was taken on the original Gay-Lesbian proposal. Perhaps half the members had already left, many to catch planes, while others went off to other meetings.
The motion won on a hand vote.
This is how the APA Assembly voted to support same-sex marriage. There was no real debate and no real discussion. There was nothing remotely "scientific" about this vote by the APA.
From the Assembly, the matter went to the Board of Trustees. The Board is aware that there are a number of members very much opposed to the motion. It is seen as highly divisive, as going against the current trend in American society, and as dragging what should be a professional scientific organization into supporting a controversial political social issue and thus harming the reputation and credibility of the organization.
But on the other hand, the Gay-Lesbian caucus has been very successful in its endeavors in recent years. Many of its members are individually nice and decent people and many of their colleagues don't want to upset or offend them in any way. Therefore, they are willing to grant Gay-Lesbian members what they demand because they are nice people - without really thinking through the possible consequences of such a move.

"If I forget who I am, I am myself. If I remember who I am, I am you."
I believe it was the AMA who declared that alcoholism was a disease. The DSM-IV does not mention "alcoholism", but uses the terms "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependant".
It could be. I don't see the difference between saying someone is alcoholic and saying someone is alcohol dependent. As I understand it, the APA writes the DSM. It is the DSM that is primarily used to diagnose psychological "illness" like alcohol dependence. Maybe I am wrong though.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
My contribution to the debate on gayness. If you don't watch it all, then start at 2:30.
One of the problems with religion and AA is that the literature is very clear on what it says, but individuals pick and choose what they want to follow, or believe, etc. For example, AA is clearly a religion by almost any definition, but many choose to claim that it is not because the AA literature says it is not.
The Bible clearly condemns homosexuality but many Christians choose to ignore that part of the Bible.
We look to things outside ourselves to justify what we believe, when it is really our beliefs that come first. We clearly see those things that support our beliefs and just as clearly do not see those things that do not support our beliefs.
The Invitation, by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Hi Genejoe, The Bible is used by many religions and as you know different religions, as well as people, interpret it differently. All that is taught is based upon interpretations, and those are of other previous interpretations (etc. and on and on). What might seem clear may be read a certain way now because one author preferred to translate in such a way to suit his own agenda. It's hard enough to get it accurately depicted by only taking into account how languages differ, especially when it's at least one thousand years old. That being said, a Christian is allowed to ignore parts of the Bible. Some are taught by a literary standpoint, others only how it pertains to literature. I think you are right, it is from our self that we should look. Over time we are sure to develop a self that is influenced from the outside, but if that can't be helped it doesn't make sense to analyze it. I go mostly by what I feel, not my thoughts. Sometimes I wish that I could get rid of some feelings by using my mind alone. It depends. I agree with a lot of points on this board, the most important being that people should mind their own business and not criticize another. Like JIAF said, homosexual rights shouldn't even be debated. Like you said, those that stick their noses in the business of others (or set guidelines) are most often being influenced by another person anyway.

There's a place for profanity, but it is not every third word. When you fuckin fuckin fuck your fuckin way through a post it loses its power.
Calling Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and "on and on and on and on . . . fucking frauds" is ridiculous. You've made your decisions about the way the world works. Others - all others - are entitled to do the same. If you will not allow room for that then you should not be provided a platform to spew your vile shit.
See? Not every third word.

Agreed. I couldn't get most of it and after a few lines I didn't want to try because it's hard to filter through trash language (that was instilled in us by some idiot and supposedly means nothing anyway).

Truth about AA: http://orange-papers.org/menu1.html
Expose AA: http://www.expaa.org/
I don't like much of what happens in AA but I do like the people there and go from time to time. I am not concerned about your sexual orientation, I am married and unavailable for sex. I don't go to synagogue but love a Jewish party and really like watching people who care for each other so much. I am not Mexican or Catholic but would be honored to pray over their Christmas dinner and help them eat it. My daughter is white and may marry a black man; if she does I will enjoy seeing them on holidays. I don't often agree with Becket, except for today. This thread is full of hate and venom; it is by definition as closed minded as an AA meeting, it is cruel, disrespectful, and ignorant.
Hahahahahahahah. Funny.
watch the movie "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". Hahahahahhaah.
beckets is an asshat. Hahahahahah.
Free speech, unless it disagrees with your beliefs? Hahahahahahah.

So the guy swears a lot. He is passionate about what he believes in and it makes him swear a lot. So fucking what?
"You've made your decisions about the way the world works. Others - all others - are entitled to do the same. If you will not allow room for that then you should not be provided a platform to spew your vile shit."
He does allow room for other opinions. You post, he reads your posts. He replies. He just thinks he is right. He is entitled to his opinion.
I post. He reads. He has a right to disagree. I don't want to fuckfuckfuckfuck him, and I don't want to get his sewage spewage all over me. The language is not "passion". It's a lack of vocabulary.
He doesn't "think" he is right. He knows he is right. That's what makes him wrong.

If you read all of his posts and take out the profanities I think you will find he has quite an extensive vocabulary.
You're not slow to use over the top profanities yourself.
"He doesn't "think" he is right. He knows he is right. That's what makes him wrong."
I think I know someone else just like that.
I do not use profanity gratuitously. There is no comparison. He is driving people away from his posts with it. I don't care, but there are others, like avogadno, who are really offended and turned off by it. I've not used anything as over the top as this character.
I do not claim to have answers for every topic or question or dilemma that arises here, and I've said so in print on this forum. Check it out. You think you know someone else just like him, and maybe you do, but it isn't me.

People that swear don't realize that they turn people off to the very message that they wish to promote. It counterproductive. I don't swear and when blog people notice that, they tend to rachet up their own swears and vulgarity because they think it impacts me when it solely reflects on them. It's passive agressive behavior. It's not up to your audience to sort out the swears to determine your extensive vocab. If you have one, choose to use it verses sounding like a lorry driver. Language separates man and beast, and you can tell much about a person through it.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Your post are extremely vulgar and offensive and have zero class. I am certainly anti- alcoholics anonymous and enjoy this forum but I despise your post. Jesus is a fraud, you don't know that for sure anymore than I can prove that he existed. If we could prove absolutely that God exist, there would be no need for faith. I think it is safer to at least entertain the possibility that a supreme being or force exist. Just because a person believes, does not necessarily means he believes or approves of A.A. or any other 12 step agenda.

SMF 2.1 is not ready for live deployment yet, although IIRC it's getting close.
Version 2.0.2 IS in use on this forum, and is available for download. Version 2.1 is not yet ready for deployment...
--- Quote from: movierchives on August 08, 2012, 06:03:52 PM ---I thought SMF 2 was live here while it was being developed
--- End quote ---
It was live here during part of the development phase, but not during the "alpha" stage (which is where SMF 2.1 is at right now), and the source code wasn't available to everyone until the first public beta (which I believe was around Beta 3 for SMF 2.0).
SMF 2.1 will be installed here once we feel it's stable enough to do so. With lots of changes being made right now, it's just not a good time to install 2.1 here.
In short, SMF is a lot more open now than it ever has been in the past. You can see what we're working on and see what changes we're making as they're made. In the past you had to wait until we told you what we'd done and/or released something to the public.
I was sure 2 was live here in Alpha although I never tried it until beta. TBH the beta length put me right off them
AFAICS from the internet archive, sm.org has always used a development version of the code since the very beginning. Though things are a bit different now (for example we are using SimpleDesk and in order to use a development release we need to make sure SD works with the code we are working on), additionally the only team member of the site team is currently on-hiatus, so we cannot (and I would not...and I'm pretty sure many other (like someone with a dark avatar :P) people would not) force a potentially insecure release on the site without being sure we can fix any issue we find timely.

"Best bang for your buck Thermo Pride OH8"
Replaced 7 year old Lennox warm air furnace. Noticed lower consumption of power and oil. ECM blower motor option: Significant energy savings (67% average compared to psc motors). 13-Gauge large surface area Octatherm Heat Exchanger copper plated for corrosion resistance. Overall good quality manufacturing of sheet metal and clean out ports. Best bang for your buck for warm air furnaces on the market today.

"Never broke"
I had a Thermo-pride oil burning furnace installed in 1996 which replaced the original 1949 GE. The Thermo-pride was tuned up every year and never broke down. Great furnace. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the ecological disaster waiting -to- happen underground oil tank. It leaked. I am happy that I got the oil tank removed before more damage was done. Switched to York Heat pump and am amazed at the efficiency. It is great not to have to worry about leaking oil disasters any longer. If the heat pump fails, at least I will have electric back up...

A Manchester woman got a chance Tuesday night to thank the first responders who saved her life.
The three first responders are heroes to Cynthia Pratte. The 52-year-old Manchester mother nearly died when she experienced sudden cardiac arrest at home.
On Tuesday, her heroes with American Medical Response awarded Pratte a Cardiac Arrest Survivors coin, as Manchester's mayor and hospital administrators watched.
Only 5 percent survive the ordeal Pratte experienced, but she was lucky that her son, Matthew, was nearby and trained by the police academy.
Pratte's son was able to perform bystander CPR on his mother until rescuers arrived to provide rapid response CPR.
She said, for her, the day started like any other.
"I went to make coffee and I felt really tired, so I laid back down in the bed and I woke up four days later at the Elliott Hospital," Pratte said.
The first responders said its teamwork that is so important in saving the life of someone in cardiac arrest.
"Her heart was quivering and we had to shock it into rhythm, so that's what we did, and a whole lot of people did different things professionally all at once," said Jason Rapsis, of American Medical Response.
"She definitely was in bad shape. When we got there, she was on the ground and CPR was already in progress," said Ryan Fedel, of American Medical Response. "We just went into action. That's what we are trained to do."

As I'm working on fixes for the next release, I found out that Build 191 of RC3 was released with a bug in it as it relates to typing into the fields on the Properties Palette to change the Width/Scale/Angle of a figure or the Width/Length/Angle of a selected segment.
On Windows, changes are applied as you type; on Mac, you need to hit Tab/Enter/Return or click somewhere else to have them applied. This was a bug, but since I've had a handful of people who don't type very fast complain that the insertion point in the field moves and they get the wrong value (like they type "5" then "1" and if they're not fast enough it shows "15" instead of "51"). While I can certainly fix the insertion point issue, my question is: Which approach is better?
(Sorry for the rush, but I wanted to get a new build of Stykz out tonight or tomorrow morning, so I'm going to factor in feedback only from today through the release time.)

In it's 260-year history, Alexandria has been the scene of many odd happenings that are not readily explained by science. Many of the locations are places where tragedies and untimely deaths took place, and many of the occurrences seem to bear some connection to those tragedies. Could it be ghosts? Could these places really be haunted? Why don't you decide for yourself? We'll share the stories and show you the places. And we'll even slip in a little of the history of Alexandria, the city where George Washington shopped, paid taxes, voted, danced, dined, slept, worshiped, surveyed, entertained, trained and drilled troops, influenced politics, and established his reputation as a man of impeccable integrity. Walk where George walked -- with ALEXANDRIA's FOOTSTEPS to the PAST, the respected historians of Alexandria.

Loading Mini-Grand Framework... Done.
Generating Administration Personality... Done.
"Once upon a time in a land far far away there were four characters."
Generating Characters... Done.
Four beings suddenly found themselves nowhere, able to see one another but nothing else. A synthesized voice came out of the nothing surrounding them.
"The four characters were pulled from their native lands to a featureless void wherein there was nothing to be seen but blackness in every direction. Here they were addressed by the booming voice of the narrator. 'You four have been specially selected.' the voice informed them. 'Technically speaking this is a battle to the death, but I have told that story so many times. I thought we would try something a little different. You bold four are noble heroes on an epic adventure.'
"The voice went on to describe each character in turn, abitrarily commencing with the orphan clutching the baseball bat. 'Oftimes in a story the poor orphan child turns out to be the hero of noble lineage. Well this time there is no noble lineage to fall back on but perhaps Aaron Incorable can overcome his run of poor luck and triumph in this new environment.'
"The next character to be introduced was the lich; Vhaegar. He was dressed in all manner of gold and finery with a pigeon perched upon his head. 'Liches are stereotyped as evil and wicked, poor Vhaegar is just a man who did not want to die. Perhaps today he can play a different role from the one he normally plays and become a hero to inspire the people of this good land. Also due to certain limitations his soul is now in that pigeon.'
"Next up was a plain looking man in an overlarge coat. 'A hero would not be a hero if they did not have some adversity to overcome. Talmadge Tea has more than most. In some ways he is more gifted than he would allow himself to believe and it is only by harnessing that gift that he will prove himself a true hero.'
"The final character to be introduced was not as the other contestants were expecting the human with the slug on his head but the slug with the human attached to it. 'This hero hails from a world, which I must admit is not the kind of thing I normally deal with. In his world the brain slug is the top of the line data storage unit; this one containing every peice of information about DifCorp, essentially it is the company in question. Though I have never seen it yet, perhaps the 'evil corporation' can redeem itself.'"
Generating Setting... Done.
The four generated characters suddenly found themselves moved, assembled at the entrance of a series of dimly lit catacombs.
"Our tale begins in earnest as our four heroes arrive at the entrance to the Great Catacombs. Their quest to defeat the evil Lord Ashkaroth can only begin once they have claimed the magical equipment guarded at the deepest depths of this deadly maze of traps and monsters.
In their hearts they know that tough times were ahead and that not all of them would survive the trials that lay within. But equally they knew that it was the only way they would have any chance at stopping Lord Ashkaroth."

New research from the US has linked foetal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) in monkeys with an increased risk of cancer in primates. But scientists have questioned the validity of the study's methodology and the relevance of its findings to humans.
Researchers from the School of Molecular Biosciences at Washington State University (WSU) concluded that exposing female rhesus macque monkeys to BPA altered the structure of newborn mammary glands and boosted the chances of developing cancers later in life.
Breast cancer concerns
The group, led by Andrew Tarp, said the findings added to evidence that "the chemical can cause health problems in humans and bolsters concerns about it contributing to breast cancer".
Pregnant monkeys were fed a piece of fruit containing what the scientists described as a "small amount of BPA each day" during the gestational period corresponding to the human third trimester of pregnancy. This level of exposure resulted in BPA blood levels comparable to those of many Americans today, said the team.
They found that, at birth, the density of mammary buds was significantly increased in BPA-exposed monkeys, and the overall development of the mammary gland was more advanced compared to unexposed monkeys.
The study was co-designed by three scientists with an established track record on BPA research; Ana Soto and Carlos Sonnenschein, from Hunt and Tufts University, along with Catherine VandeVoort at the University of California at Davis, School of Medicine.
The research was published in the latest Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences (PNAS).
The WSU team said previous studies by Soto and Sonnenschein had demonstrated that exposing rodents in-utero to small amounts of BPA could alter mammary gland development, leading to pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions when the animals reach adult age.
They added they were confident the rodent mammary gland was a reliable model to study developmental exposures to chemicals like BPA that disrupt a mammal's estrogen activity and showed that foetal exposure could lead to mammary cancer later in life.
"Because BPA is chemically related to diethylstilbestrol, an estrogen that increased the risk of breast cancer in both rodents and women exposed in the womb, the sum of all these findings strongly suggests that BPA is a breast carcinogen in humans and human exposure to BPA should be curtailed," said Soto.
WSU geneticist Patricia Hunt said that showing a link between the effects of foetal exposure to BPA in primates "really hits uncomfortably close to home."
Study flawed, say scientists
But scientific experts in Australia and Canada have expressed serious doubts over the study's methodology and the conclusions drawn regarding the possible human health hazard they represent.
Dr Ian Musgrave, senior lecturer in the Discipline of Pharmacology at the University of Adelaide, Australia, said the doses used and plasma concentrations reached in the study were unrepresentative of most human exposure.
"The dosage used was eight times higher than the upper limit of permitted human exposures," he added. "It was also administered as a single, large dose which would have produced a much larger concentration in the blood than was seen when the plasma levels were measured four hours later. The serum level of total BPA measured at this time were around 50 times higher than is seen in several human studies, but as this plasma level was measured several hours after dosing, the actual exposures would be much higher."
Dr Musgrave questioned whether the study highlighted legitimate concerns as he said long term studies with rats at high levels of exposure had shown no adverse effects.
Canada-based Professor Warren Foster, of McMaster University, said major strengths of the study were employing oral exposure routes in non-human primates and appropriate analytical methods of the data.
Sample size too small
However, he too raised questions over the very high dose level administered in one go. Human exposure occurs in repeated lower levels, which meant the WSU method "may not necessarily be reflective of how people and tissues are exposed"
Prof Foster also raised concerns that the sample size was far too small to draw statistically relevant conclusions.
"It is appreciated that non-human primate studies are expensive and difficult to run, yet four and five animals/group is not robust and it is difficult to extrapolate the findings to the larger population," he said.
While acknowledging the study was scientifically sound in general, he said: "The results do not however suggest that BPA is a carcinogen or that it is implicated in breast cancer. Furthermore, the dosing paradigm is not representative of human exposure which makes generalization of the study results to humans difficult."

OK, let's backtrack a little. The male supermodel was caught on tape whacking off for a female model on a video chat session and now the "sex tape" is being shopped around to the highest bidder.
LIST: Making Bank! Tyson Beckford Weighs In On Getting Stupid Paid, Plus Today's Top Earning Models
When someone says their own sex tape sucks, that drops the value of it pretty quickly, does it not?
Tyson went on Twitter yesterday to address the issue with fans ... saying he's "sad but life goes on."
"Don't even faze me" ... Tyson added ... "We all do it, just mine got caught on film."
He also admitted, "Not much of a sex tape lol."
The bad news for Tyson is that even though a sex tape might "suck," that doesn't stop it from being leaked. There have been several sex tapes that lacked the firepower to match their star power and many celebrity sex tapes that we wished were never leaked.
Some we even regret clicking play on, but hey, who are we to judge? Take a look at the racy vids that left us a little flat and tell us what you think in the comment section below.

The Accidental Time Machine
by Joe Haldeman
I had high expectations for this book. It took place at MIT where I used to work, so I was familiar with the settings such as the infinite corridor (cool place). The book started out great. The story moved quickly. Matt Fuller created a machine that disappeared and reappeared later. After experimenting, he figured it was a time machine that could travel to the future. About three quarters of the way through the book, the story began to slow and drag. It seemed the author rushed to finish the book and the ending was lacking. It is an OK book, especially if you don't have the high expectations that I had.

It Takes A Village: How One Mom is Making Dreams of Community Come True
It Takes A Village: How One Mom is Making Dreams of Community Come True
by Courtney Clay
Most of us have heard the ubiquitous saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." After my son was born, my experience as a mother drove this truth deeply into my awareness. For many years, I have cherished a vision in the deepest places in my heart of living on a beautiful, spacious piece of land with my family and closest friends, surrounded by lush forest gardens, pristine springs, rivers and ponds, diverse wildlife, the best food ever, cozy handmade earth homes, community support, love, laughter, joy, singing, dancing and celebration. My son was first conceived in my imagination in the midst of this greater vision. Alive in my vision of motherhood was just me, then there were two. My community is coming alive, and it can for you too! Read more »

Natural Parenting: Motherhood and Balance
Natural Parenting: Motherhood and Balance
by Lauren Nastasi
Motherhood and balance seem like two opposite ideas. As a mother of a toddler, I know how hard it is to take time for yourself. I've found some balance by letting myself indulge in "me" once in awhile. This means once a month, I leave my daughter with my husband and I either get a massage, a manicure, pedicure, hair cut, facial or I will take a yoga class.
We all need our cup filled, whatever way that may be. Sometimes taking a few minutes to read a chapter of a non children's book helps, or when (if) my daughter naps, I will journal or meditate. Even enjoying a simple cup of tea fills my soul.
I use to feel guilty doing these things but now I know how important it is and taking time for myself makes me a better mother/wife/sister/daughter/friend.
When you have children, it's easy to forget ourselves, but when we allow ourselves to relax, we shine!
Happy Mother's Day!

I love one dish meals. I love that they cause less of a mess to clean, they are usually economical and they usually have that comfort food feel about them. This one is stick to your ribs hearty, great for a cold day and tastes great!
Shhh, don't tell but I also love the fact that I can hide lots of vegetables in the dish.
It is also easy on the budget if you plan it right. Mueller's typically has coupons for their noodles and when you can find them buy one get one free you can typically get them for free or next to free. I can sometimes also find Johnsonville coupons and paired with a good sale you can get a great deal ( I have about 10 packs in my freezer because we love it!). I got the ground beef marked down and a large bag of carrots we are working on for a very good price. If I had restaurant funding I could be content to cook all day and do so on a budget. Of course being around my house is like running a restaurant some days.
My recipe is more of a guideline, there is no perfect measurement that is going to make or break this dish. You can also change up the ingredients a little to suit the tastes of your family.
1 package Johnsonville Italian Sausage, 1 pound ground beef, 1 onion (I was out but had chopped green onions and used those), 1 bell pepper, carrots, artichokes, garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning and noodles. ( I forgot to get my spices, sauce and paste out for the picture)
Chop all of the vegetables and place in dutch oven with the meats. Cook thoroughly.
I was lucky and found lean ground beef on sale so I did not have to drain the grease off of mine. If you have a lot of grease you will want to drain some of it off. Leave a little for flavor though.
Add in the diced tomatoes (do NOT drain), tomato sauce and tomato paste and Italian seasoning and garlic to taste. I would use 2 cans of each. I had some frozen diced tomatoes and tomato sauce that I used. If you want to make it even easier, just use a large jar of spaghetti sauce and a can of diced tomatoes.
This is the best part!!!
Just dump your noodles in the pot with every thing else.
Yep, you don't have to boil them. They will cook in the sauce and taste better than you ever imagined!
Oh Goodness!
Just look at it, and wait till you smell it!
Allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes and the noodles are cooked through.
There you have it, my One Dish Pasta Delish!
I hope you enjoy!
1 package Johnsonville Italian Sausage
1 pound ground beef
1 onion
1 bell pepper
2 – 3 carrots
1 can of artichoke hearts
garlic, to taste
2 cans each – diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste (do not drain the diced tomatoes…or you can use one large jar of spaghetti sauce)
Italian seasoning, to taste
noodles (any kind will work although I have never tried using long noodles)
Cook the meats and vegetables until browned. Add in the tomato products, garlic and spices. Mix well. Add in the uncooked noodles, mix well. Allow to simmer approx. 30 minutes.

I'll speak up in defense of BF here, the compilations are pretty generally regarded as a good thing. More lists, more stuff, one book and it's hardcover to boot.
I'd like a pacific book but to be completely honest it would be very very low on my 'want' list from Battlefront. Cool idea but it just doesn't sound exciting. Much like how 'The Pacific' paled in comparison to Band of Brothers as a quick analogy.

Hehe. The 3rd panel is my fav.
Tyler's not only a brilliant cartoonist, he's the mastermind behind ComicPress, a powerful and popular WordPress theme specifically designed to publish comics with all the support of WordPress. Aaaand he's a web designer, aaand he's one of the creators behind Lunchbox Funnies. The dude's a machine, basically. Check out all his work at the hub siteMindFaucet.
And don't forget! If you enjoyed today's strip — And how could you not? Look at panel 3 again! — drop Tyler a note to thank him for today's awesomeness!
Wow! I absolutely love this strip, & the detail is amazing! I'll admit that it even caused me to go check out Wally & Osborne.
Now I've got a new 'toon to brighten every morning.
Thank you!!
As much as I love your daily renditions of Sheldon, I must confess that Mr. Martin's guest strip nearly made me laugh coffee through my nose. (Yes, that's a compliment -- not a pretty image, but humor is that way sometimes.)
- fearless
I must say that I have never seen a comic strip art style go from cartoonish to realistic and back to cartoonish so quickly before. The only other example I have seen like this that worked correctly was a Barkeater Lake Comic when guy would take pictures of Comic Strip characters but they would all develop as photo realistic versions of the characters. It was a neat effect. Naturally the punchline was the character saying "that doesn't look like me at all." and then assuming that the camera must be broken.

Grace And Formac Engage In Strategic Partnership For Drug Delivery
The inherent low and variable oral bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) presents an important challenge to drug development.
Grace and Formac engaged in a multiyear strategic partnership with the mission to provide the pharmaceutical industry with an innovative and powerful delivery technology.
The Strength Of Our Partnership
Formac has evolved into the world's leading center for the formulation of poorly soluble APIs with mesoporous silica. The specific and cutting-edge expertise of Formac is now complemented with the experience of Grace, the number one manufacturer of silica worldwide.
Our Technology
Our unique drug delivery technology is based on the adsorption of poorly soluble APIs on hydrophilic mesoporous silica materials. Through solvent based techniques, the API can be deposited in the internal mesopore system of the silica material. The interactions between a hydrophobic API and a hydrophilic silica material are typically very weak and easily disrupted upon contact with aqueous media. Desorption of the API from the silica surface upon contact with the gastrointestinal fluids is associated with the generation of API concentrations that are not achievable by dissolution of the crystalline form, thereby creating a driving force for absorption.
The rate at which the drug is presented to the gastrointestinal environment can be tightly controlled, by judiciously modifying the pore size and particle size of the silica material. The superior physical stability of these mesoporous silica based formulations, together with the generic applicability of the technology and the formulation flexibility that results from the ability to fine-tune the silica materials, offers unprecedented advantages for the delivery of poorly soluble APIs.

It is commonly believed that optimal outcome of treatment for many psychiatric disorders can be achieved by combining pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Supportive psychotherapy (SPT) is most likely the most frequently used modality of psychotherapy in current clinical practice (Tanielian et al. 2001). In the 1998 National Survey of Psychiatric Practice, 36% of patients treated by psychiatrists received supportive psychotherapy versus 19% receiving insight-oriented therapy, 6% receiving cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and 1% receiving psychoanalysis (Tanielian et al. 2001). Recently, the development of competency in SPT has become a requirement of residency training in the United States, and a number of texts about SPT have been published in recent years. Since the introduction of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in the late 1980s, an increasing proportion of psychiatric patients have been treated with pharmacotherapy. From 82% to 90% of patients in psychiatrists' caseloads receive medications (Pincus et al. 1999; Tanielian et al. 2001).

missingllama wrote:iLOVEpeeta14 wrote:What about Gale? His can be:
Meet a girl. Start to like her. Get her to trust you. Then argue with her about everything she says. Then avoid her when she comes back from the hunger games. Then help make some bombs that kill her sister that she loves more than anything in the world. Then leave without saying goodbye and never come back. Then go kiss some other girls in District 2.
Like they always say, don't fight fire with fire.
Reality check, pretty much all of that is untrue, genius Especially that freaking last half, people aaaaalways have to resort to that because that's the only thing bad they can think of to say about Gale
For one, when the hell has Gale EVER argued with Katniss? He's freaking risked getting in serious trouble millions of times for her and what she thought was right: in District 13 when he WRESTLED and broke Boggs' nose so she could get away from a meeting; when they were visiting the "hospital" in a different District and he directly disobeyed commands from both Haymitch, Plutarch and Boggs to help Katniss take down the Capitol hovercrafts; when he's always sided with her for EVERYTHING she does, especially when it comes to a vote.
If he ever has argued with Katniss, then it was because she was wrong and he needed to correct her--girls don't need pushovers like Peeta who'll agree to anything you say, girls need someone who can lead them onto the right path, support them when they're right and correct them when they're wrong, or else who knows what'll happen if they make the wrong choice?
Two, HE DID NOT FREAKING AVOID HER. This is the TOTAL OPPOSITE of the truth. You know what Gale had to do? Work, unlike a certain smelly baker whom we won't mention. He worked 12 hours EVERY DAY in the mines. It was terrible. Do you even know how dangerous it is down there? No. Of course you don't. The conditions are terrible and it's so freaking horrifying, especially since this was hundreds of years after miners had already cleared away most of the coal so they had to go even deeper down into the ground, when in present day they already go like 1,000 feet down below sea level.
The only rest he could get was on Sundays. Every other day he was too tired to even move much because he needed to get sleep to re-energize. And you know what he did? He saved ALL his Sundays for Katniss. He even put off teaching his little brother Rory to hunt, which just shows you how important Katniss is to him because he puts his family above all else. He did this just to spend time with her, because he loved her that much. If he was "avoiding her," it wasn't because he wanted to. Far from it.
And third, he did not kill Prim. I've explained this stupid point so many times on this forums already that it's getting really, really old. I'm sick and tired of explaining this. HE DID NOT KILL PRIM. For one, it might not have even been his bombs. Who the heck knows? Katniss says he probably didn't kill her either. She just can't shake off the CONNECTION between the bombs, Gale's blueprints, and Prim's death, just like she can't shake off the stupid connection she somehow made between Peeter, loaves of bread and weeds. If you need another point, if I made you a knife and I gave it to you and you killed someone with it, did I kill that person or did you? Answer that. Gale had NO control over who used his bombs. Maybe Coin saw them, thought they were perfect in her plans, and used them without his knowing.
If you're going to make something for Gale, make it like this:
"You should be more like Gale Hawthorne. Meet a girl. Share in each other's hurt because you understand what each is going through. Become best friends. Know each other like the back of your hands. Cheer her on when she's feeling down, make her laugh because you're the only one who can, and take care of her when she's hurt or injured. Never, ever give up loving her until the very end, even if she somehow for some stupid reason falls in love with a dumpy baker's son named after bread. Never give up on her. Always be there for her, help her when she needs it, correct her when she's wrong, support her when she's right, and put her above all else. Give up everything and more for her. She's that special to you."
