Now this is funny. I am being lectured by STEVE for not having class. Steve, who has a difficult time finishing a train of thought with out using the F-Word. Steve, who has some vile quote in his signature. Steve, who has a very difficult time finishing a post with out personally attacking someone. Take your stupid self-righteous garbage elsewhere Steve.

Oh, by the way, since you are completly unaware of why I I called Oreo a liar, let me explain. He launched into some tirade against Ron Paul. He said that he watched all of the last debate and that Paul answered only two questions. I proved him wrong, and he has been silent ever since.

But this is funny, Steve. YOU lecture me on class, then less then 2 inches below that line, you have some vile quote about doing rude things to a goat. How dare you lecuture on class. Why don't you just admit it, Steve? You have no clue about politics. You are on this forum because you think it shows that you are politically active and aware. You have no idea what you think or why you think it. So, you roam around these boards and act as some sort of self-appointed moderator. Well, go on and report me. I think I can dig up about 40 quotes of you personally attacking someone.

While you may wish to turn off signatures so you don't have to read about goat-fucking, you still are not justified in breaking the rules.

Well, turning off all signatures would certainly turn off a good number of interesting ones. I guess you could also use that logic to say "you are not justified in reporting anyone because you can simply avoid reading the posts altogether."

Someone should tell them that bad press can be prevented by not abusing prisoners in the first place. Censorship is only needed to preserve the good reputation of those who have tortured and/or murdered already.

It depends. I put a nipple in as an avatar once (it wasn't clear if it was male or female). That caused a bit of a stir, despite people's ability to turn off the image. You can easily turn off a signature, or even put the person on ignore if you find something about their posting that offends you. You're still not justified in breaking the rules.

Yes, but Oreo was lying, or perhaps being dishonest. Am I just supposed to let him do that? Can I not call him on that? What is wrong with that? And, if I am going to be lectured, I prefer it not come from someone like Steve, who probably breaks some forum rule on a great number of his posts.

As for the signature, it is not that I mind the signature. Low class people are going to behave like low class people. I just find it humorous that he dares to assult my "class," and then sign off with something that is even more classless than what I said, which is, by the way, true.

To call someone a liar is a rule violation here. Believe me, there have been times where I've wanted to. It's just one of those rules that we have to live with here.

Sometimes telling the truth is against the rules. This is such an instance, if I understand correctly and if what you said was true. You could try quoting what that person said, linking the quote to said post, and then posting the truth that disputes that statement. If you can still edit your posts, I suggest you do so before a mod sees it.

Everyone will be happy to know, I have changed the post. Now we are all free to judge for ourselves.

Good for you. It is sometimes very hard to maintain civility with people whom we disagree with, but it is the right thing to do.

So you're a small government guy, a libertarian, but you believe its your right to interfere with a man's right to "be rude" to his goat? You'd never get elected in Wales or New Zealeand....

Wow, nice job reading a lot of stuff I didn't say into my post. When did I say I would interfere with his right? I never said that. I support the right to "be rude" to one's goat all the time. However, it is disgusting. It is gross and I would not want to be around that sort of person. I am a libertarian, not a libertine. I am a libertarian, not an egalatarian that accepts every "alternative lifestyle" as being equally valid.

Now, of course, I hope you were just joking in this post. If you are, it was funny.

Thank you.

It was meant to be ironic about where you stood on a man's right to hump his goat tbh...

But more so, it is still Steve's right to say as much in his signature where as yous was a blatent rule violation. He doeshave a right to put in his signature the fact that some guy in Australia (leave it to them as always) said they he "fucked one goat". Going through all this i had to click on "view post" of Steve's to see all this which causes me a greater inconvenience as i've had him on ignore for months now.

Anyhow Cattle hustling is still a hanging offense in most of my state but a way down the road in AZ it happens to be legal for a man to wed his goat, where does Paul stand on this issue?

Well, I never ever denied his right to do whatever to his goat. As for his signature, I don't know how correct you are. While we say "his signature" in vernacular, that is sort of wrong. It really belongs to whomever owns this site. So, he does not have a right to his signature, I don't have a right to say what I want. We only have permission.

As for Ron Paul and goat marriage, I have no idea. I am sure, however, it is something that he would have left up to the states. In my oppinion, government should get out of the business of marriage, and my guess is that Paul thinks something close to this.

Yeah that's what i meant, like the liar rule which is set by the forum moderators.

So you, as Paul does too, believe that AZ has the right to allow and therefore wed a man and his goat?
