I think I may give up on this Forum.

I believe in such concepts as:

Seperation of Church and State

Constitutional Law

Equal Treatment under the law

The entire Message of Jesus Christ

Transparency in Government dealings

The responsibility of the Government to protect the pursuit of Life, Liberty and the pusuit of happiness for all citizens not just the majority

The responsibility of the press to be impartial and provide equal treatment in the press.

Forgiveness from the Blood of Jesus Christ

Free-enterprise

Freedom of religion

That government should have no form of income other than taxes voluntary(stupid) or otherwise

The government should not legislate morality

The Church should stay out of Governmental affairs

The Government should stay out of Church affairs

Charity is the place of the Church not the Government

I was mistaken on a couple points due to the Supreme Court squashing the constitution and more recent rulings than I was aware of. I apologized showed where my info came from and went on.

Before somebody starts pulling pieces of my posts to call me a liar and a troll, I invite you to read the entirety of the topics:

The Stupid Tax
SexShop on Mobile Street
ECM Sale and the TD
Pa school bus driver charged in 2nd fatal crash
Council to meet Thursday on Coffee Health Group proposal
I Be Dang
You Said It
Student drinking Some universities are calling parents
RSA lends 275 million to rescue railcar plant

The Sarcasm is very obvious if you read everything. Keep in mind, others will delete and change their posts. ALWAYS Quote the entire thing when responding, I learned my lesson.

For those of you who agree, no need to respond, just research the Libertarian Party.

For those of you who don't, post your insults and own opinions.

I leave you with the most important piece of literature to me other than the Bible and Constitution:

"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

It would also be advisable to recognize when somebody is just jerking your chain. If someone ventures over into completely off the wall or insulting comments, they are REALLY bored people & getting somebody stirred up is their idea of a good time. Put them on ignore (or not) & move on.

There is also the very real possibility that a few are not all there. Just look over them & be kind; they can't help it.
OK it sure is not funny.. but if I had left early on ,of the ones screaming of my bad spelling and bad Grammer, that would have been to easy. Weither I can spell, type or my grammer , I have my Opinions. If the ones that really are concerned and care , they can make out in what I have ever tried to say , and only the Truth as I know it. Agree or Disagree I have no problem .. but Oh Please Be Honest !!
Bamafnatk, you are o great contributor to this forum and your point comes across and is understood. No one has any business grading your paoer with a red pencil!! You have many friends and I am proud to be one of them. Smiler.....I just read my own post and it has many mistakes....but you get the message!! Wink

Oh well, I went to look at the response my rant had recieved and it was gone from the News section. I deleted all my other posts and was about to cancel by login, then found it was moved here. It was news to me.

I live in my own little world, people like me there.

Good advice. Also, I would add try and not take it all so seriously. Everyone is not always going to agree with you and that is OK. This is what makes the world(and internet forums) interesting. State your opinion but also respect others opinions.

I found myself degenerating to the level of those making personal attacks and I began using sarcasm and extremist examples myself. Figured it was better to state what I believe in and leave it at that. I really thank all of you for the kind words and encouragement to continue posting. I probably will but wanted to get myself in check first.
stay with us Jon. people having different opinions is what makes life interesting. don't lwt people get to you. i have had people post that what i said was done or stupid and i am still here. i think those people are rude for saying this to me. but im not leaving over it. i mean i dont bash people and there are many other nice people on here too. Smiler hope you stay!
Jon...if you were done with the Forums, then why post a "Final Post"?
That's kinda' like climbing atop O'Neal Bridge...and shouting..."I'm gonna jump!"
If you were done here...then...DON'T POST!
However, I think you should stay around.
I've reviewed your posts, and find that you contribute to the process here. Your opinion counts just as much as the "Old School" posters on here...who think that just because they have been around longer...they own this Forum.
As for lowering yourself to "personal attacks?"...there's not many here, whom at one time or another...have not gotten personal...just look at the posts directed at Pastor Bill.
So...stay around. Contribute.
If I direct a post toward you? Don't let it ruin your world.

It was actually " My Final Post?".
I thought I'd get booted as I was writing it. I may actually give the paper a try again since I wasn't booted. I am glad the NYTA is no longer the owner. I was a little miffed that I was moved from the news section to the MISC section.

Im not sure what I think of this place. Lots of discussion about banning and last posts. I thought the Deep Fat topic was a sham, but after this post and the feedback posts, Im beginning to worry about what Ive gotten myself into.


Jeepin,
First off I like your name, I'm a jeep fan too. I've got a 71 Jeepster commando.
The forums are settling down, few months ago there were two factions warring against each other in here.
The mods mostly ignored it until slanderous information began to be posted along with threats of sueing the Times Daily.

So the TD mod thru them all out. They went out and started their own forums, if you ask around, someone will clue you in. Some of them came back as different personalities and started it up agasin and the TD banned them by IP address.
Things have about settled down. Just keep the terms of service and your good to go.

Ive got a 94 YJ in great condition but all factory. I think I am going to lift it this summer, depends on cash flow.

Why on earth would they ban ip addresses? They are about as easy to get changed as a pair of pants. Cable is a bit more difficult but far from impossible.

I'm no expert on it by any means but I think the gist of it is that once your IP is banned and you try to get around it, you are classified as a hacker and it becomes federal.

Your welcome. What do you think happened to Maynard?
Changing your ip address is as simple as changing your telephone number. I dont think there is any law against it to my knowledge. I dont know how it could be considered hacking. Many folks IP address changes each time they log off if they are on dial up, so banning ip addresses would just stick some other poor sucker with that banned ip.

The TOS doesnt say anything about it either. All it says is "You may not (i) select or use a member log in of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use a member log in which another person has rights without such person's authorization; or (iii) use a member log in that TimesDaily.com, in its sole discretion, deems offensive."

I would think it would be a nightmare to keep up with everyone though.

he either got back on his meds... or they brought him a new jacket with pretty buckles! Big Grin


He had the ability to change his IP address in minutes. After the third time, he didn't come back. You think he might have been threatened?
