Hi all!
I am new here and trying to find my way around. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have for posting protocol and such. (I already got flamed for multiple exclamation points -- what a doofus I am!)
I am glad to see there are not just liberals and leftists here. Some boards I have gone to before are just dominated by the democrat posters. Looks like a good mix of views here so thanks for making a great bulletin board!
1. Don't ask for advice about how to post. Posting on the internet is easy. Don't tiptoe around peoples' feelings (of course, to a point), but don't expect them to tiptoe around yours either.
2. Don't play victim. It makes you look very stupid. I realize this may be contrary to what you hear from your pastor.
3. Liberals want what's best for America just as much as Conservatives do. It's all in how we achieve that, and the fact, of course, that conservatives are wrong
4. While we respect your faith and your choice in that matter, you have to respect that others do not necessarily share those beliefs. Don't condemn us to hell, and we won't condemn you to Oogaboogabagoo.. which is much worse than hell.. not only because you burn for eternity, but you feel very cold and a drip of cold water drips on your body, but never where it hurts the most.
5. You can't take slaves to your country and then tell them to go back home because they aren't particularly happy with being ripped from their homeland and forced into slave labor. It could easily be said that the likes of Pat Robertson should go back to "Europe".. where he would belong there, I don't know... he's a mut, like most Americans.. and can't trace his ancestry to one point. So we put up with him.. because he's American, and we don't tell Americans to leave because we disagree with them.
6. I'm going to end this advice on point number six, as to keep it "unfinished" in the Biblical sense. This way, more advice can always be added. Oh, and this is all my personal advice to you. I probably shouldn't be giving you advice.
