    If you shout lie at it enough times it doesn't go away ;)
    I'm still waiting for an explation of what he really meant then, though it doesn't look like it's forthcoming :rolleyes:

    I'm surprised at you guys, I at least thought you'd have enough courage to stand by your convicions :)

    It's incredible isn't it... Just like a politician, they'll do pretty much anything to avoid answering a question directly.

    All they can do is jump onto the semantics when they can't hold a valid argument.

    Pathetic...

    Put simply, so even the most Neanderthal of man can understand. I asked if you actually took the time to read every single word in a users post, whilst keeping those words in the context of the discussion. Apparently you do not. You have selective reading skills that filter out reality so that you can form your own altered reality, thus getting the outcome you want.

    If it makes you happy creating something that does not exist to suit your altered state of reality at my expense so be it. Glad to be of help.

    No one is attacking you. I just called you out. You've been owned again and again... Live with it.

    You're looking for messages in my posts that just are not there. Are you sure you are not related to John Nash? Wait, he was intelligent and delusional. You appear to suffer from only the later.

    I don't credit them with enough brains to be politicians, even Dubya doesn't get caught making statements like that (yet) let alone writing them down. I guess if they had brains they might be dangerous

    Very nice and pretty Mia, but you still haven't explained your statement

    There isn't one is there? :)

    Sure, my point was quite simple. You appear to be the only one that finds a different meaning; where there is none.

    The act I was referring to IMHO was useless since it is near impossible to enforce. An employer could give multiple reasons for not hiring someone, or for firing them.

    Scenario 1:

    I'm sorry Mrs. Smith, we are not going to hire you as a Hooters waitress because you are too fat.

    Scenario 2:

    We're terribly sorry Mrs. Smith, you are just a little over qualified for this position. Thank you for coming in, we will keep your resume' on file if a position more suiting your qualifications becomes available.

    Which scenario is wrong? 1 ?, 2 ? both?

    What I was attempting to illustrate (and apparently everyone else got it) was that you could give just about any reason for not hiring, or for firing someone. Without stating the actual reason, there is really no way to prove that the employer meant anything different, unless they actually came out and said it, as clearly illustrated in Scenario 1 above.

    This same scenario could be applied to someone who was black, Asian, Mexican, Italian, a WASP, white trash, too skinny, too tall, too religious.

    I never said I advocate discriminating against someone's religious beliefs. I sort of indicated that I would not hire a terrorist. If that offends you, that's too bad. I will make no apologies for that.

    A terrorist or someone from a terrorist religion as you stated? :)

    I'm just a little disappointed in you guys, I admired your conviction even though I view it as wrong. It's just a bit disappointing to see you all running away from your beliefs when they're exposed.

    Exactly what you said the first time Mia, just a more expanded version of it. It was a shame that floorMatt had to resort to the lie of:

    proudly admits to discrimination against people of a different faith though

    and then demand explanations to deflect from being caught in another lie. He even lied about another forum poster this morning by saying they supported the war, when they never said any such thing.

    The boy definitely doesn't have all the cheese in his burrito :D

    Yep, you caught me. I do not like terrorists, or terrorist religions. Yep, exposed.

    I'm not running away from this belief. I am embracing it, and I stand by it. I'm not fond of terrorists or terrorist religions.

    You really find something wrong with these beliefs? Are you a terrorist? If so, again, I do not apologize for feeling this way. I just do not like terrorists, and I am not afraid to admit it.

    I did not realize that in today's PC world, we now have to respect the rights of terrorists. God forbid I hurt a terrorist's feelings now.

    Matt, why not just go away. This discussion is pretty much dead.

    LOL that would have been good if you weren't on the wrong side of 5 ;)

    Like I said, you can shout lie as many times as you want and it doesn't change a thing :)

    Exactly. Why not heed your own advice?

    So since you view Islam as a terrorist religion then you'd be quite happy to discriminate against all Muslims. Thank you - point proved. It would have been much easier if you'd have just admitted it to start with then I'd have had more respect for you standing by your convictions.

    I don't like terrorists either despite what the old man says. I just don't make the mistake of lebeling everybody as being the same.

    Hitting some nerves huh :)

    That's why he's so upset! He got caught lying again and now he's re-exposed as a terrorist lover :D

    In floorMatt's mind, every day is "be kind to a terrorist day!"

    These people don't make any sense in their abject rejection for standing against a religion of terrorism. Just invite the whole horde of em to Nasrallah's home for tea and krumpets. See how fast their heads will be on a platter.

    In war, civilians die. Ever heard of the bombing of Dresden? At least in today's PC wars the civilians (terrorists) are given 24 hours to pack up shop.

    Sheesh!!

    You're a very shouty man aren't you? You do know that proving a point isn't made by shouting the same thing over and over again don't you? I feel sorry for you, I really do :)

    Like demanding "evidence" 30 times that's been given 30 times? Heed your own advice there, floorMatt ;)

    proudly admits to discrimination against people of a different faith though

    Busted again :D

    That's about four or five in a row! Wanna go for six? ;)

    Matt, your way off here man. I do understand why you could make the assumption you are making but it's really far fetched to make this assumption.
    By stating a terrorist religion (in the post in question where this little discussion derives from) it is the socalled religion terrorists follow since it's their (terrorists) own made up version.
    It's very clear what has been meant and what is been written but your acting kind of silly now by deliberately trying to find another meaning or better said deliberatly posing as not understanding the context of the post in it's whole.

    Your digging yourself deeper and deeper please don't act so silly. Don't do a GTech :p since he also followed the same route your on now... (the - handfull - methaphor) by deliberately trying to find another meaning or better said deliberatly posing as not understanding the context of the post in it's whole.

    Your making it very hard on yourself here Matt and i don't say this to defend Mia since...well...after his admittal of making threats to Yo-yo's family he would be the last person i would stand up for.

    Let it be Matt...:cool:
