Isn't eating the bible against the rules?

I think they're linking gay marriage with other heretical issues such as abortion and the morning after pill. Also, possibly to do with IVF for lesbians.

How can the doctor have their work affected by gay people in any way? Its not even like they are even connected by the smallest of things! The church can think these things if they want but creating an advert for an anti-gay society is too far. Rep for someone who figures the doctor thing out.

ABM

It's an attempt to sway general opinion their way by the doctor giving their "professional" opinion.

Generally, we have been conditioned to listen to people who we consider to be in elite 'educated' positions, without question, which is WRONG. It also seems to be general consensus that questioning these "educated" people is inappropriate because the person with the question feels like no mental 'match' to the doctor and fears either being made a fool of or being proven wrong. So mouths stay shut and status quo remains unchanged.

In other words, "If the doctor says it, it's credible."

...but that person is likely not even a real doctor anyway. Let's face the music, the 'doctor' image is a very powerful one, psychologically; fake doctors are used in advertising all the time.

...

what a world.

Strangely, though, this doesn't hold for elected officials. We seem to prefer someone with whom we could have a pint down the pub over someone who clearly knows more than us on the relevant issues.

Wings of Fire 04-12-2009 07:51 PM

But people in the know in elected positions have a vested interest to haze or distort the truth to keep in their position.

Still no reason to trust some bugger down the pub though.

You miss the point entirely.

Did you know there was one print of the Bible once that read "Thou shalt commit adultery"? It was nicknamed the "wicked bible".

No, no, I understood your point, and I agree with you.


I just thought it'd be humorous.

Did you know that this isn't interesting at all? I nicknamed this boring and uninformative.

Yeah, I'm in a mood today. I just told a customer to fuck himself.

Either you are the coolest guy ever or you have the worst costomer service ever...

EDIT: unfortunately i can't rep you.

Wings of Fire 04-13-2009 03:19 PM

Because only cool people tell customers to fuck themselves, nothing unprofessional about that at all and we should all follow his example.

To be fair, this guy was a fucking asshole and he had it coming.

Wasn't dissing you, was dissing the inappropriate glorification.

Oddsville 04-15-2009 07:31 AM

You two would get hired at my other job immediately, all we do is insult the customer..the old bastards.

wonderfulthirds 04-18-2009 04:15 PM

I'm not going to rant but why do people care about this kind of thing. I know this question has been asked numerous amounts of time. Their message is that marriage isn't going to have the same meaning it has if two of the same sex can get married.

Someone else's marriage shouldn't be affecting my own marriage or demean it somehow, I call that being unfaithful to the spouse.

Pilot 04-18-2009 04:25 PM

The first minute of this video is all you need to watch. ;)

How does that demean marriage? Marriage is about true love, besides marriage has already been 'demeaned' when you look at the divorce rate the way it is.

Nate 04-19-2009 06:27 PM

Oddsville: I rather think that that was wonderfulthirds' point.

Oddsville 04-20-2009 05:06 PM

Was it? Must have misunderstood. :/

Nate 04-20-2009 06:48 PM

He was mocking these people for having that opinion.

Nate 04-21-2009 09:17 PM


Havoc 04-22-2009 01:36 PM

Great, now we have nothing to discuss anymore.

Nice going Nate! :|
