And of course, he owns 14 different trucks, each in 12 different paint jobs. :-)
The second was he went off on various forums, the most notible, was debate thread 3? 4? It was one of those....
After the last infraction, he was banned.

Total Posts: 1051 | Yeah, if you want a tooth and nail fight, not an objective debate. If you want to get right down to it a religion is just a set of beliefs and rules that are closely set to ones perverbial heart. If you attack a persons religion you attack their being. If someone wants to volunteer as the next calcfreak then I say okay to a religion debate.
I absolutely love Sun Chips. One of my friends thought I was nuts with how many I'd eat. Once I finally stuffed one down his thought I can't keep them from him. Sounds like Apple and Macs? 3 tagents for the price of one post. Gotta love it. |

NO! He stole the code for Bust-A-Move, said it was his heavily modified version.
The Author (Joe Flint) didn't say it was ok, he said it wasn't ok and was intelletctual property theft, he then made the project open source with license constraints. |

Total Posts: 80 | I agree somewhat about getting rid of some of the tangents. But that's what makes this forum fun, too. I think you get to know the people in the community a lot better that way. Perhaps it'd be better taken to IRC, though.
For what it's worth, I'm gathering some support for starting a new calc channel on the Undernet IRC network. It's #calc over there. In the past, the calculator channels have been on EFnet and #tcpa is still there. Undernet, however, is just as large as EFnet. Anyways, any of you forum regulars are welcome there. Just leave me a message (my nick is ac) and when I'm at my computer, I'll get you ops. That is, you get ops if you're a forum regular. :) I'll even op Laker fans, even though it pains me to do so. :D |

My favorite teacher is getting married; one of my closest friend's mom is getting married; one of the coaches of my crew team is getting married. For me, this is a happy day. Please, conservatives, don't spoil it for those who have been waiting so long! |

Total Posts: 80 | I'm not going to offer up my opinion on the issue of gay marriage. But there's a compelling argument from the side opposing it that is worthy of being mentioned here.
Marriage is not a basic human right. Instead, marriage is an institution of non-government organizations such as churches and that is recognized by the government in many cases. While there are some secular forms of marriage, they are patterned after the religious form of marriage. Marriage is a religious institution, not a government institution.
There already is equality for homosexuals who live together in the form of so-called civil unions. In many cases, they get the same benefits married couples. Insurance companies, for example, generally recognize civil unions to be equal to marriage.
Gay marriage is not about human rights nor is it about equality. It's an assault on a religious institution, something the government ought to stay out of.
Again, I'm not stating my views nor my opinion, just the other side of the argument.
And Dysfunction, you first ask conservatives to not spoil it for you and then you say support for gay marriage isn't about being liberal or conservative. You've contradicted yourself. |

But also, go waaaay back to the beginning [at least of the debate threads] and look at Dysfunctional's first statement. We started off the series of debate threads w/ gay marriage, and i don't think we need to debate it again. Also, i think we discussed religion enough also. BTW, read what Z said somewheer in there about "To B: yeah B, i think we should keep this as a thread. there isn't any real need to make a debate forum." Ironic, eh? the debate therads combined probably take up more space on here than all the rest together.

Total Posts: 2007 | Kinda adding on to Redux's thing about Dysfunction contradicting himself, read this from his profile [no offense meant]:
"...and closed-minded people SUCK."
Closed-minded: Intolerant of the beliefs and opinions of others; stubbornly unreceptive to new ideas. [www.dictionary.com]
Now, when i read this, what i hear is 'all closed minded people SUCK'. And if that's true, you're being stereotypical Dysfunctional. Stereotyping is just another of many forms of closed-mindedness. So therefore, by your own statement you "SUCK". Would that be true?[Nothing personal, D, just wanted to show you your self-contradictions].
BTW, that penguin does need to be re-vamped PhilEd
EDIT: I just noticed, Kirby's bowling ball's name is the same as mine! cool!
