Because if so, there is just no arguing with you.


Dammit.

16. If I had read your sig line
I should have known you've been to Nashville. Check out the Frist (wince) Center at about 8th and Broad (old post office). Not a huge amount of art but quality, and the art deco building is fabulous.

15. Lounge = Evangelical atheists? Interesting factoid - Zeus believers do
Edited on Sat Aug-16-03 11:51 AM by papau
exist.

One of the groups of "unbelievers" that the Taliban and friends were killing were the small villages in the north that maintain the true Greek Religion - Alexander made an impression! (they are also in the north of Pakistan)

Meanwhile I do enjoy posting by the Evangelical atheists - but folks there are many boards on the web where you obtain a bit more self-esteem by saying tou are atheists - why hang at DU?

Not that you shouldn't

or that there is anything wrong about your being here

just curious.

20. Self expression on the part of oppressed minorities
is a time honored method of liberating oneself from the stress brought about by the oppression. It has been practiced by numerous groups including blacks, gays, and women. Admittedly some of our numbers can become a bit boisterous but this is simply brought about by the fact that an effective means of dialog has not yet been learned on this subject matter. It takes time to establish the protocols of such dialog and until then it is largely anger and bravado that do much of the speaking. Work with us to clear the air. Not to shut our expressing ourselves down.

22. I agree with "Self expression" - but self defined oppressed minority?
No problem with "clearing the air" as long as you are not pissing on others.

24. 100% agreed
But if you take a look through history you will see that rising oppressed groups go through a stage where they express their anger towards their oppressors. We have to learn to communicate without the anger.
