Tear this to shreds

Look for the Metacrock postings. Plenty of fallacies in there. There's at least one ad hominem and strawman in there.

You may want to break the link.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Standard idiocy, nothing to really get worked up over. Why not simply rip him apart yourself?

I thought you guys liked doing this, that's all. Or you'd rather pick on something that requires a bit more thinking.

Short answer: Why should we do your work for you when the same idiot Creationist topics have been retreaded over, and over, and over again in this forum, and are available with the use of the "Search" function?

Not really. Is this one of those "Look at me beat up the Fundie!" threads where you're trying to get help, or are you just making it for us to point and laugh?

The former I believe is an overt violation of the rules...

We are not your personal pack of attack mutts! If they come to us to spew their shit, we'll gladly tear them to shreads, with relish and mustard! If you ask for help in going after these folks, we'll gleefully help you mount an attack that will send them crawling under the covers, sucking their thumbs and crying for mommy (or else start building that WoI). But we're not going to just go after them en mass just because you post a link.

Sure, some independent souls may indeed go over to lay down some nice fresh smack on them, but not as a community.

Specifically, it violates point #2 in the Announcements thread in this very forum, right at top. I just checked.

For point and laugh. Is that considered a violation?

Besides, most boards are too uptight to let us be more...free...with our language.

Specifically, we require the use of the words 'cockgoblin' and 'cuntscum'. Or somethings to those effects. :P

Christianforums is interesting. In the political and crevo sections the athiests outnumber the sheep molesters two to one.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Then why, praytell, is the title of this thread "Tear this to shreds", like it's a fucking command?

When I wrote that title, I thought it would imply "point and laugh" at it. But I guess that doesn't sound like it.

Your given title fits appropriately.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I like it. Went lurking there the other day and I was pleasently suprised at the amount of reason in the evolution vs creationism section
