In no way am trying to offend people. I am simply reading the bible, and i see weird things, and want to have a civilized debate about it. But as you see, people are attacking my person not my arguments.mo_eladl said:well if you are an arab , then seriously dude, i have no idea why you're trying to make arabs look like people that have nothing better to do than start pointless threads that offend people. at least by being an arab, you should no know that being judged and offended over something that has nothing to do with you as a person, is not that much fun.
im really not sure. i didn't understand what he said at the end of his post, but then again the arabic language can vary from one country to the other.frankcastle said:Mo Eladl,
Do you think AG is authentic? Or could he have used an online translator/dictionary?
i agree with you, but i can't figure out why he would be doing thisfrankcastle said:But you raise a good point which is he's an embarrassment. Unfortunately I suspect that is what this person is trying to do

you think that posting that jesus is gay, would help americans and canadians be more open minded when it comes to arabs?Arabian Guy said:In no way am trying to offend people.

We have the freedom to speak our minds, and to discuss and share view points. no harm in that. But if people are going to maintaing the status quo then what is the poin in having freedom of speech? why is it an integral part of our constitution? our most fundamental and beloved charter of rights and freedoms guarantees that we have that right and that we should be allowed to practice it freely.
So my friend, people are interested in vast majority of subjects. I happen to be interested in these topics because i am reading the bible for my vacation, and hoping to start a debate with fellow terbies, But alaas to my surprise i find the north american spirit of tolerance and librity to be posioned by racist and evil and saddamist ideas: that is to say, they want people to maintain the status Quoe and shut people up.
I think i have a point, and i have a right to say and discuss whatever i want in a civilized way.
When i speak my mind i speak "My mind" not the "Arabic mind", there must be a clear distinction between individuals and groups of people or a race. I in my action might not represent my group or my race. People should not generalize from the specific to the wide, but you should draw conclusions from the behavior of the group and its values as written in books and in what they speak as a collective group. Individuals dont represent thier groups nessessarly. It is common to stereotype people based ont he action of the few.
i mean when 911 happened, because of 19 people who the US government says are of arabic decent, that made in the mind of most "Americans" that all arabs are bad, and all are osama bin laden. But its simply was wrong. The americans who say they "are open minded and value their laws and constitutional rights" and who say they are more liberal, forgot all their ideals and threw them out the door, and took off the mask they had, to reveal a mighty ugly face , that the world has never seen uglier than it. They stereotyped all arabs to be terrorists. So the arabs said wait a minute, what happened to ideas like "Religous tolerance", Racial tolerance, Unity , Respect? all went down the drane.
So when you say that I put a bad face for arabs when i practice my right to free expression and want to debate topics, I think you are trying to maintain the status quo, arabs should shut their mouth up, and get defamed and be labeled terrorists. But when we try to have a civilized debate with people about commandments written in the Bible, now I am bad, and i put a bad face for arabs.
That is really unfortunate.. And sad indeed.
yes i think so.. This is written in the bible. It shows that we are open minded people and we can discuss controversial issues that would affect our society and how its evolving. It shows that we are more open and more liberal than most americans and canadians. Contrary to most beleives.mo_eladl said:you think that posting that jesus is gay, would help americans and canadians be more open minded when it comes to arabs?
If Jesus was gay. The gay rights movement would be much further along than where it is right now.Arabian Guy said:yes i think so.. This is written in the bible.

well the Church does not want to admit it, they even hidden from view the Secrete Chapters of the Book of ST.MARK and other saints, to maintain the status quo, But they know its true, they are told to keep shush about it, and not to speak a word.frankcastle said:If Jesus was gay.

Hallalujya to that, Jesus tought you to call people names?wumpscut said:to prove that I can be Christian and help a disgusting troll like Arabian Guy, no matter how unworthy he is, here goes. 1) Install ieSpell. 2) use it EVERY time before you post. This will improve everyones opinion of you as you will stop the childish spelling mistakes and seem more like brain damaged rather than completely brain dead.
yes in official settings, but we are debating under non official settings, and not all are good typests,.frankcastle said:Spelling aside the content is just as bad.
Nope, they are only offensive to you because you want to keep the status quo. you have a mental image that your parents put inyou about jesus, and you dont want that to change no matter what the evidence are. So you see this as offensive in order to maintain jesus ' image in your mind.wumpscut said:the program suggests words that are spelled correctly and then you can change the improperly spelled words for the correct ones. Try it as you need as much help as you can get.
Ironic you can accuse me of being a shallow thinking when you post nothing but nonsensical arguements. Your idea of a debate is nothing more than to be derogitory and offensive, were you leader of the "short bus" debating club?
