Say homosexuality is wrong and are a bigoted homophobe forcing your morality down everyone's throat. Condemn conservative christians in the a forceful and insulting way, and you are just expressing your opinion.

<t>Bigotry and intolerance comes from all corners. I had hoped this thread would stay focused on Falwell and not get hijacked to other issues that have been covered ad nauseam on this site. I will admit my motives in posting this thread were not what you might think. I made the OP short and didn't ...

<t>Falwell said some stupid things but I imagine that if we had the national media ready to jump on everything we said, that we could come up with a few doozies, too. Falwell was not a televangelist, he was not an activist ala Jackson/Sharpton, he was at heart simply a preacher who stood up for what ...

Just got back from seeing it. The kids thought it was awesome. Spidey 2 might have been a bit more suspenseful and driven, but Spidey 3 was action-packed with well-placed humor. It was well worth the ticket price.

<t>The Book of Samson by David Maine 
 
The biblical story of Samson told with witty irreverance but not disrespectful. The story is the thing here, this is not a historically accurate book. I don't think Maine spent a lot of time researching the geography or lifestyle of people in that time ...

Wow, we need a sexual molester to improve our image? It's worse than I thought.

<t>This is complete nonsense. This author admits he is the first to publicly publish these numbers. Given that he is not a scientist, that should set off some bells immediately. Then he says the numbers are "scattered" among some 12 million lines of text. Who couldn't pick and choose a few scattered ...

Look at the policy for retracting bids on ebay. Depending on the circumstances, it can be done. As you said, just explain the situation to the seller. The worst that can happen is negative feedback and you can always leave a response explaining the situation on your feedback.
