Err... Good for you... :

Nikolas · Sat 04/02/2006 20:04:33

rharpe, do you really want to discuss this? Cause if you do, I'm ready to do so...

SSH · Sat 04/02/2006 20:07:53

Paul who?

I'm really not clear if this is supposed to be in support or against Mr Harvey. Whoever he is.

A quick ask on #ags elicited the reply "A right wing nut job"

vict0r · Sat 04/02/2006 20:11:17

Please dont do this rharpe! The only thing you will cause with this is a "rharpe vs. everyone else" discussion...

Gord10 · Sat 04/02/2006 20:15:54

Rharpe, are you really in support with it? If so, then probably there will really be a "rharpe vs. everyone else" discussion... At least I know I would be against you.
(By the way; I hope the people, who thinks that abortion is evil, have a handicapped or sick baby.)

Nikolas · Sat 04/02/2006 20:23:03

I can't say that everything in there is absolutely wrong. There are fair points to be made.
And actually mr. Harvey has the right to look things in this bizzare twisted way...
Only half of these "I would..." are based fundementaly on Christianity and God and religion and the like. The rest have nothing to do with it and even I could've writen them...

Can you really tell me Gord that you disagree with every single one of these "I woulds"

Read this again. Think about it. Feel free to edit it out of your post.

I would say that i disagree with most of them.

Kudo's Damien, you saved me a post or two.

Paul Harvey is basically an opinionated extremist that makes his living off of saying in your face things without ever having to back up his opinions. Not saying I disagree with everything there, but nothing is as simple as he states, ever. It's really not worth reading this kind of stuff though....

Why?

Squinky · Sat 04/02/2006 20:33:52

Because it is a horrible and childish thing to wish upon someone who disagrees with his statement.

MrColossal · Sat 04/02/2006 20:34:43

Phew! Good thing there's no such thing as the devil then!

Let alone upon the child.

"I would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the
minds of every family member for my agenda..."

I think this one is pretty funny considering the fact that the guy is a radio broadcaster.

Actually I must say that I agree with some of them a bit (like "I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world"), but it always makes me angry when an over-conservative people tells me what to do or not to do (as long as I'm not harming anyone else). I can discuss this topic more, but guess I should stop now.

Many sick children are born in a year (well, my parents said I was too weak and almost miscarried when my mother was pregnant, but she didn't want to abort, guess it's the reason why I was born with a vocal chord handicap).

If I were the devil, I'd invent the internet so that religious fundamentalists could constantly shove their beliefs down the throats of others, no matter where they're from.

Also, I'd pretend to be Brad Pitt and make it with Angelina Jolie!

rharpe · Sat 04/02/2006 20:44:10

I didn't say anyone had to agree with any of it. Paul Harvey is no saint, but he raises some very valid points.

But being that most of you don't even believe in God or the Devil, you probably could care less to what Mr. Harvey or really anyone says concerning morality and the like... Why? Because you do as you please, when you please, how you please, according to you and no other. Life is only about you, and the angels that guide you. (Good or bad)

MrColossal · Sat 04/02/2006 20:45:38

Ok sorry but, blah blah blah, one can't be moral without god...

if that's what you want to believe then go ahead.

Congratulations humans are weak and stupid and all they want to do is rape and steal. Which is why that's all I do, all day every day... Anyone else?

Those are all excellent points, rharpe. I'll start with the first step first thing tomorrow.
