The Cyburbia Forums is the oldest and most active English language urban planning message board on the Internet, and one of the small number of online communities where members enjoy intelligent, troll-free discussion. Cyburbia has hundreds of active members, yet is a strong community full of creative, friendly, and occasionally offbeat planners, planning students, architects, urbanists and other like-minded people who care about and/or help shape the built environment. Cyburbia Forums members enjoy a sense of community and camaraderie that is unmatched by any planning-related web site or listserv. We'd love to have you join us as another Cyburbian.

Where was your #10, because I only counted 9.

Did you notice that of his 9 items, Starring_Emma Mentioned:

Sex 4 times
Gay sex twice
Forign influence twice
The ocult
Rediculous statements regarding transportation
Zombies, breaking an entering, murder, littering, and cruelty to animals (all in one act)

He said "anal" he better go pray or something!

I would have said something like:

The complete unedited works of Karl Marx
Pink Dress shirt
On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin

She won't get this... like she hasn't gotten anything else. If she really is a young person, she hasn't been brainwashed... they took it out for dry cleaning. Her positions are crystal clear, but her reasoning for them is non-existent.

She's like a message board heavy bag. It's not a fight, you don't need any good moves, it's just exercise.

Ms. Emma; I think you're wrong in your original post, particularly with numbers 1, 4, 7 & 8. Just check with a few famous religious conservatives named Jerry F, Pat R., Jim B. to begin with.




off-topic sort-of:
In my Methodist sunday school classes and church services, I was always taught to beleive that Jesus taught us tolerance and compassion for our fellow man, not hatred and judgement.

I am guessing no "National Geographic" as there are those shameful free wheeling evil boobies in the photos.

Let me preface this by saying I am a strong conservative - perhaps one of the most conservative in these forums.

1- Conservatives don't do the whole pron mag & video thing. However, they're much more likely to use it. It's just all done on the internet because of the anonymity, cheap/free access, and easy hiding capability.

2- Conservatives may have tofu on hand on occasion for stir-fry nights at the family table.

3- You're actually more likely to find illegal aliens doing the landscaping and cleaning the pool at a conservative's residence than a liberal's.

4- Conservatives are embracing hybrid pickups really quick. It's not a car, and it's done to save money on gas, not to save the environment, but still...

You are correct, sir. Except perhaps instead of "tolerance and compassion", forgiveness and compassion. You're spot on about the no hatred or judgement, though.

For example (red = Jesus' words)
Quote:
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." - Matthew 7:1-2
Quote:
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." - Luke 6:37
Quote:
"You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." - Romans 2:1
Quote:
Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?" - James 4:11-12
And this is just a sampling...

And THAT is the gist of so many arguments. Use selfishness to save the world, not wreck it. Take the subsidies away from big oil and stop subsidizing new pavement. Then watch what would happen.

Wind power and solar suddenly are competitive with petroleum (not quite, but almost)
smaller more dense housing
less expensive cars
more bike / ped trips
more mass transit



Back on topic now!

OOO! OOH! Bus ticket stubs! Conservatives feel mass transit is useless!

EEWWW! Ride mass transit with the unwashed masses?
