Why are 90% of your posts about American affairs?

Why are 90% of Putin's posts Anti-American?

Why are 90% of Krellin's posts garbled drunken gibberish?

Why are 90% of Asians lactose intolerant?

Awwww...poor Putin. Funny thing is, anybody that has been around these forums know that I was very open about my alcoholism, and have in fact beaten it and been sober for going on 6 months +. So the fact that you - who also knows this - still choose to try to use it as an attempt to insult is just a further demonstration of what a vile human being you are....and further, that you clearly have no valid arguments against anything I say, which is why you resort to such tactics.

Hey Putin....tell us again how you confessed that you are a teacher, and how you hate all children and blame them for all the problems in the schools. Oh...0h...and then tell us that story about how you told me that teachers give students passing grades they haven't earned just to shove them through the system, but you think it's all the kids fault.

Tell us those stories again, pleeeeeease Putin!!

Why do you two hijack 90% of threads with stupid insults?

Why do I waste 90% of my free time on this shit forum?

Stupid insult? Recalling the true statements of Putin and asking him to tell us the story again is an insult? I love his education story....I want to hear it again and again!

Yeah, so have him tell you in PM. Some of us are sick enough of him and his anti-West (have no doubt, he doesn't just hate America, he hates the West) views now you are making us sick too, krells.

Krellin thinks he's going to get praise from people for bashing Putin. That's all it is. He doesn't give a shit about the content of his posts, only that he posted in the first place.

Putin is a man among men, I want to know his opinion of gay rights, should queer folk have any rights?

Did you think I was a Christian?

What? No one mentioned Christianity.

But why would I oppose gay rights then?

Christianity doesn't say you should oppose gay rights any more than atheism does.

Then explain that.

At any rate, I support equality for all sexual orientations and gender identities in all respects.

I never said Christians don't oppose it more than others, I said that Christianity itself preaches love for everyone regardless of, well, anything. Only those completely deluded by their religion take such an intolerant stance.

Who cares what Christianity supposedly preaches? The message isn't getting through, and I don't trust any self-proclaimed pope's claim that they know the real meaning of this confusing religion.

The real Putin doesn't like gay people, this guy is an imposter, he loves bum bandits, dirt diggers, uphill gardeners ......

Uhh... Christians care what Christianity supposedly preaches... the current pope is one of the most tolerant people around... that comment is just plain stupid...

"At any rate, I support equality for all sexual orientations and gender identities in all respects."

Unless they're in Russia.

"Uhh... Christians care what Christianity supposedly preaches."

Clearly they don't. Otherwise why the poll results?

" the current pope is one of the most tolerant people around.."

I'm not talking about the actual Pope. I'm talking people like you, self-proclaimed "popes" who claim they know the true meaning of Christianity.

"Unless they're in Russia."

Even in Russia, troll.

@Putin ... sure, the poll results. 47% of those in opposition credit the Bible. If that poll is accurate, 22.09% of the population (47% Bible x 47% opposition) uses the Bible as a crutch for arguments against gay marriage. Not sure how familiar you are with democracy, but 22.09% doesn't cut it. Considering 75% of the country is Christian, your dumb stereotype is way off.

"I'm not talking about the actual Pope. I'm talking people like you, self-proclaimed "popes" who claim they know the true meaning of Christianity."

I understand that you have to fit an insult into every post so I'll just leave that really dumb comment alone.

Where have all those lovely people gone that were welcoming Putin back last week, I bet he wouldn't get as much stick if his name was Goldilocks or BigBoobs or DeepThroat. I think a big group hug is in order here, Putin can be the filling in our group hug sandwich.

http://www.pewforum.org/2008/04/01/an-overview-of-the-same-sex-marriage-debate/

"According to an August 2007 survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life and the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, 55% of Americans oppose gay marriage, with 36% favoring it. But those with a high frequency of church attendance oppose it by a substantially wider margin (73% in opposition vs. 21% in favor). Opposition among white evangelicals, regardless of frequency of church attendance, is even higher – at 81%. A majority of black Protestants (64%) and Latino Catholics (52%)[*] also oppose gay marriage, as do pluralities of white, non-Hispanic Catholics (49%) and white mainline Protestants (47%). Only among Americans without a religious affiliation does a majority (60%) express support."

You were saying?

August 2007 was a hell of a long time ago in regards to this movement. Using stats from then to make a point now is kind of like using the Bible to make an argument against civil rights.

Really, and you somehow think that all of a sudden Christians had an epiphany and now support gay rights as fervently as those with no religious affiliation?

Clearly not.

Still waiting for the stats to back up your argument.
