    Calling names and saying someone has said what they did not say is attacking and I get it all day long here.

    Do you think you are better than me?

    Then how is it bad of me to think I am acting more moral than someone else?
    You are not discussing. You don't wish to discuss anything. You wish to belittle, and provoke people. THAT is why you start these threads, and throw snippy little comments in with feigned innocence. That is not indicative of integrity, OR morals.

    It IS indicative of being the standards internet troll, however...

    You went on to say this:
    This guy has self respect which I think many on this board couls learn from.
    how is that NOT supposed to put people onthe defensive?


    Calling names and saying someone has said what they did not say is attacking and I get it all day long here.
    That's usually how you act. But whatever.



    Do you think you are better than me?
    Yes. Because I can admit when I'm wrong and very rarely get on my high horse. And by saying I do get on my high horse is also admitting it, something youwill probably NEVER do.

    Then how is it bad of me to think I am acting more moral than someone else?
    Because it is, bad. Acting in a self-righteous manner is NOT moral. It's self-righteous. That is, YOU are appointing yourself better than others. Why? Because you don't neg rep people. What kind of moral high ground is that? WHo gives a shit about rep points? How does that serve the public good? Go serve dinner at the local mission, then you can at least flaunt your public service.

    You expect me to act like a saint while you act like a truck driver thrice divorced to me.

    Its the double standard many of you people have about what is said.
    Did it ever occur to you that you just might have earned the condescending attitude people display toward you? Did it ever occur to you that you just might have earned the rude comments, and disgust people dump in your lap?

    If it were only 1-2 people, you might have a valid point.. But, it's almost everyone..

    ...and not everyone can be wrong.

    Can they?

    Again my point, your conditioning your behavior on the good or bad behavior of others. That is not integrity. Someone who has integrity is true in all things.

    It wouldnt matter if someone acted like a truck driver five times divorced to a person of integrity. They would still be true to themselves and others. They would still have the same moral standards. Their values wouldnt change simply because someone is treating them poorly.

    You are admitting that you arent acting right and then think your morally superior to others? thats a lie. Thats a sign of lacking integrity. When pride exists in the heart, the first victim is the truth. And it usually starts with self delusions about your own importance compared to others.

    But you cant be honest with yourself. If you were you would realize it was your own attitude and style that is getting you negative repped (why that matters is beyond me) and you would do what you can to fix it. Here ill even make you a list of things you can do.

    1)Correct spelling errors
    2)right in paragraphs instead of writing a sentence every other lie
    3)stop condescending to people.
    4)Stop baiting people.
    5)Stop ignoring people when they respond to you.
    6)Read your sources.

    Most of them are common sense decency too. (except maybe keeping the sabbath holy cause thats kind of unique).

    Ive seen a number of patterns as an adult:

    1)Those who claim to be free thinking and open minded usually arent

    2)Those who object to being judged are usually guilty

    3)Those who think they are better than others are usually 180 degrees wrong.

    4)Hot dogs taste better BBQed.

    She is protesting too much. makes me think she is exactly what she is protesting she isnt.

    No, I hate you for mangling something as simple as HTML quotes that are already put into place FOR you.

    Idle curiousity. What translation are you using? Im just wondering cause i just cant picture God saying "Murdering is a capital offense" Seems very cultural driven.
