“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

I am not sure why you posted this to me, particularly to my post 59. Am I not also entitled to my opinion? Am I just supposed to sit by and let someone who does not even read the post they are responding to call me a liar?

Why did you not post this message to THAT person about casting stones?

Some things are opinion and some are facts. This person is ignorant of what intellectual property means and is maliciously attacking me based on these ignorant assumptions. As I told him, ignorance can be fixed if someone is WILLING to learn. There is nothing morally evil about ignorance except when a person is stubbornly, arrogantly, willfully, and condescendingly ignorant.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”

This is the liberal’s favorite verse of the Bible. They know it better than John 3:16. There are other verses that say to judge. In fact, how do you know if I am judging without first judging me yourself?

I did not condemn any other poster on this forum. I did not wish any ill on any poster on this forum. I am not condemning anyone on this forum.

That I was called dishonest is a fact, not an opinion.

I replied that he was being dishonest and gave the FACTS to prove it.

Either the accusation hurled at me is true or it is itself a lie or at least an error of judgment. So if you want to defend his JUDGING me, I would ask to show me where I am being dishonest, because I am not.

If I have wronged anyone I will gladly own up to it, apologize and otherwise try to make it right. I have in the past, and I am not too proud to admit when I am wrong. But please don’t ask me to defend myself with kid gloves while I am being punched below the belt.

Another "I'm the VICTIM" mentality.

Go look in the mirror and talk to yourself... you'll enjoy it I'm sure.

Your response is completely loony.

First you preach to me about judging while acting in a way that seems awfully like being judgmental.

You argue everyone is entitled to have and express their opinions while attacking my right to do the same.

Now you refuse to respond to the points I have made on the basis of substance but instead resort to name calling and insults.

You are right about someone needing to look in the mirror. You jump into an argument that you are not even participating in, you defend offensive behavior, and you quote from the Bible while breaking the exact command of the Bible you are quoting. The command not to judge you quoted is from Jesus’s sermon on the mount where He also spoke against looking with lust on a woman. Do you accept all of His teachings or just the convenient ones?

I have and do admit when I am wrong as I said before. If I have done something wrong, just point it out. I do not see anything wrong with defending myself against false accusations. Apparently this constitutes “whining” to you. Is that my crime? Whining? And how did you arrive at this determination without judging me? I really want to know that.

Are the ones being sold as sex slaves by the filthy rich pornographers just “whiners” like me? I don’t see you calling out the person I am debating for their pornography advocacy with your preaching.

Is there some reason why you would rush to that person’s defense who is advocating the benefits of pornography while you attack me? Something is really odd about whatever motivated you to do that.

I will be happy to look in the mirror. I don’t see what I have done wrong, so you will have to point it out.

How about you practice what you preach and look in the mirror as well. How is it even possible for you to quote Jesus on not judging while in the same breath passing judgment on me? Do you know what the Bible says about hypocrites?

If you are going to quote the Bible as a basis of morality, you may want to first decide to accept it as your standard of conduct.

You have the "RIGHTNESS DISEASE"

You go completely out of your way to argue a point so as to PROVE your right. Who cares?

I suggest you find somebody else to inflict yourself on. I'll simply say, "God bless your pointed little head."

“You have the ‘RIGHTNESS DISEASE’. You go completely out of your way to argue a point”

In contrast to your posts which seem to take no effort at all. Is laziness supposed to be a virtue?

Do you make a habit of dropping in to say these (supposedly) pithy things, or is it just a fluke? It takes little effort, it does not require any intelligence, it takes zero insight, no wisdom or integrity, and no work on your part, and contributes nothing worthwhile for participants on this forum to read when you make insulting, hit-and-run posts and then bolt with your tail between your legs when called out for it. So, if you are going to post something to correct, instruct, inform or entertain, please, for the sake of everyone here, have a point. Don’t justify being wrong and doing wrong by saying you don’t care. If you don’t care, why engage in the first place?

If you have a legitimate rebuke, then rebuke me. Am I wrong? Then tell me and defend your position. Back it up. Don’t just come by here to emote and make attacks based on mere whims which are not only not substantiated by the facts but are disproved by them.

If I am wrong, I WANT to be corrected, your strange accusation notwithstanding. Unfortunately it is very obvious that some people arguing here WILL NOT be corrected under ANY circumstance. So I find it rather odd that such a person hurls this accusation about having to always be right. Everyone on this forum, including me, has much to learn about how to win the fight against tyrannical leftism. But much of the time is wasted due to people wearing their feelings on their sleeves and nitpicking over theoretical solutions to the problems.

You drop in and try to straighten other people out, tell them to look in the mirror, tell them they suffer from “rightness” (whatever nonsense that is supposed to be as it sounds like something a person says who can’t get over what an abusive public educator used to scream at him as a young student), tell them they are whiny, tell them they are judgmental, tell them they are wrong but then tell them it doesn’t really matter if they really are right after going out of your way to tell them they are wrong, and can’t even see what is obvious to everyone who reads such nonsense that it is the person saying them who needs a good look in the mirror.

So don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back at how excellent your response was, because it wasn’t. If you have this “who cares” attitude then why bother coming to this forum? Behavior like yours and the attitude you are verbalizing will get us a disaster like Hillary to finish off the hit job Obama is doing, but then, perhaps you share the sentiment, “at this point, what difference does it make?”

So, in answer to your question, “who cares?”...

I care. A lot of people on Free Republic care. We care enough to fight the good fight. We care that our nation is being destroyed from the inside out. We care that our children and their children will have a horrible future if we cannot turn the tide.

“I suggest you find somebody else to inflict yourself on.”

I didn’t start this conversation with you. You did. As I said in the previous post, please take your own advice.
