  1. NEW MEMBER AT RWS!!!
  2. They copied ALL of By-Tor's reviews to the new site. I wonder if they asked permission - they don't say that the threads were reposted with permission so I wonder...
  3. I have read a LOT of horror stories with King in the past six months. Ruby and Chris at EuroTimez don't drop ship. Chris is more expensive but does a comprehensive QC check. Ruby is slower, no QC (other than having the watch in her possession), but less expensive. Precious Time and Narikaa don't drop ship either and are reliable sellers.
  4. I didn't get any pm, but I joined the site. Any recommendations on what I should do with my membership?
  5. naw. just testing you guys.
  6. Now it's your turn - who's it going to be? Luthier or Demsey?
  7. Sorry Col! I also loved Window God's sig:
  8. Thanks guys! And I can download pretty much ANYTHING on eMule - there is little I can't find - sadly there are only a couple of episodes of Hawaii Five-O, one of my all time favorites. Old series like that are tough, but all the recent stuff is available.

    Prop 8

    That I can see, Downtown is the only one using the terms bigot or homophobe to describe those that disagree with him. The other posters, like myself, who support the gay community's struggle for equal recognition under the law, have been respectful. Your post is no more accurate in characterizing the opposition than any of Downtown's.

    Prop 8

    "Don't be an uppity negro"? If you want to preach to the choir, you have the correct tone. If you want to persuade those that have different views, what I am suggesting is not "don't be uppity" - it is plain old common sense. Treat people with respect and they are more likely to listen to your words. Are you REALLY disputing this point? If your inclination is to reply, "but THEY are not being respectful!" stop for a moment and reflect on how childish that sounds. I hope you are not suggesting that I said that, because I most certainly did NOT. This generalization is as simplistic as it is incorrect. The evangelical Christian population in California is NO WHERE NEAR large enough to explain the passage of Prop 8. If you want to understand what happened in California you are going to have to think a little more. And why would you want to? I thought we were talking about same sex marriage, not debunking an entire religion. I know a lot of Democrats and I don't know any that apologize for their views. Where the hell are you getting this nonsense? Sometimes people are bigots and fear mongers, sure. But you don't know AllergyDoc well enough to make that accusation. Those are conclusions you are basing on nothing more than YOUR own prejudices and preconceptions. Well I voted for Obama, but your statement is factually incorrect. The McCain campaign did NONE of those things. More nonsense. No one here, myself least of all, has suggested you do this. If you just want to rant to listen to yourself, go right ahead. But don't kid yourself that what you are doing is any different than what you accuse others of. Intolerance. Intolerance, no matter what end of the political spectrum it comes from, does not advance mutual understanding, dialog, or social change. It impedes it. If you want to effect change, you will need to go about it differently. But if you just want to feel smug in your own form of self-righteous indignation, then you are closer in mind-set to your foes than you will ever realize.
  11. Whoops, sorry....

    I just watched the second episode of The Unit. Greg recommended it to me. Oke?

    Prop 8

    Well then you will have fat chance of convincing them that you are correct. Calling people fear mongers and bigots is not going to help others open their minds. I agree with what you say about gay rights and same sex marriage. But I find your rhetoric less than charming. When it comes to the art of persuasion, a little humility and sensitivity towards views that differ from your own is AT LEAST as important as the rationality you so arrogantly boast of possessing.
  17. oke i go now
  18. What does that have to do with Dave and Demsey?
  19. Okay, I am going to watch some TV.
  20. RWG1 summed up quite nicely.
