At least the Wallabies got beaten as well.

It doesn't matter that they got beaten.

Did they play nicely?

GY, just ban BD, many of us have had enough of his insane interference on what would otherwise be productive discussion.

Goood 1 Ranier.. :) I guess you wouldn't want to be banned for speaking about Indigenous issues would you ?

Or having the right to continually criticize 'whites' ? .....

I don't abuse people... I address issues. I guess that's why I'm still around ?

You might not like my perspective..but thats ur right.. I don't begrudge you that.

Remember you wishing death on one other forum member a while back ?

If anything was going to get someone banned.. I'd figure that one would rate highly.

Well.. be thankful GY has patience and tolerance.. unlike... guess who :)

Uh-oh, there goes another keyboard.

>>I don't abuse people... I address issues. I guess that's why I'm still around ?<< (Boaz_David)

Boaz, you regularly, and with malice aforethought, abuse an entire religion.

As your excuse, you claim that abusing the religion does not indicate abuse of the individual who follows that religion.

That doesn't wash, you know. If you said that guys with beards are rapists, would it not be the case that people with beards might be offended?

Especially, I might add, if your reference point is a religious text written fourteen hundred years ago.

And as for "addressing issues", your record on that is even weaker. Your concept of addressing issues is either to to find a handy verse or two from the bible, or to misquote something "you read somewhere", and disclaim it as soon as you are found out.

Although to be fair, you seem to have graduated recently to simply pointing at YouTube, a medium well known for its well-adjusted and fundamentally honest clip-providers.

Plus the inevitable propagandist, here and there, of course.

Pity you haven't learned to distinguish between them.

But the reason you are still around, Boaz, is because, as you quite rightly point out, your voice has as much right to be heard as anyone else's, whatever may be anyone else's opinion of what that voice says.

I may disagree with you on some things.

Well, most things, really.

To be honest, almost everything... but I'm happy to read it just so long as you don't mind me pointing out the odd flaw.

Here and There. You know.

Dear Pericles.. thank you for confirming what I said:

I don't abuse PEOPLE...... exactly.. I do criticize a particular faith more than other faiths.. granted.

Lucky I'm not PAUL.. see how he reacted to one Elymas.

"RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD" EVANGELISM.

6They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. 9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said,

"You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun."

Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord. (Acts 13)

COMMENT.
Now.. you might be temtped to criticize the Almighty here.. but I'd think twice if I was you.
This man was deliberately and maliciously seeking to actively divert peoples hearts from the truth of God in Christ. He was not just mocking... or apathetic.. he was steering the procunsul away from Christ to sure up his own 'religion' (magic)

Now this is one of 2 incidents of this type recorded. (Annanias and Saphira also incurred direct wrath)
It isn't often God punishes people in this world.. and this bloke should be thankful his punishment was not terminal.
A point to note... it was GOD...who did it..not Paul.
