We also should never have dragged Northkorea's claim to have found dragon eggs in their mountains and to have spotted unicorns in their forests here, because just to mock was cheap, low and petty. We better mock their news in a forum about Northkorean news.

Thanks for that.

You know you don't have to get offended. If you believe, it is of no significance so ignore it, or is your faith insecure?. I'm tired of every group having to be always offended by something. I don't care anymore.

I don't understand, how does that reply have anything to do with me posting a link about engaging in hand-to-hand combat with a Tyrannosaurus?

Sorry, my bad.

I love Red Dwarf and got a good laugh from the video. The other comment was my rant about being offended broadcast to the ether.

I think maybe chainsaws on the ends of the spears?

Is real debate with creationists even possible?
They have fixed immovable views which they cling to even after their own evidence completely trashes their view.
Skybird answers the second part well....
"We also should never have dragged Northkorea's claim to have found dragon eggs in their mountains and to have spotted unicorns in their forests here, because just to mock was cheap, low and petty. We better mock their news in a forum about Northkorean news."

As for this post.

No need to wonder, muslim creationists got their views torn apart as rubbish in exactly the same way on this forum, it was easily done as they are exactly the same views.

I've seen enough Muslim/Islam ideas&actions bashing on these forums too, just a reminder.

And lately the best result they have had has been a huge wave of yawning and sinking into oblivion.

That's mostly laughing and making fun of the OP and it are usually the same suspects over and over again and those are usually the more *cough* serious *cough* topics. But when a Iranian Imam say earthquakes are caused by women wearing bikinis it's all for good laughs right? Then I don't hear anyone say to take their mockery and cheap shots somewhere else or think it is sad to see a religion is trashed in this manner.

Fair point, I was indeed thinking of the former kind and not the latter.

Be fair, a few posters are regularly told to take their religion bashing crap back to stormfront.
Then again there are people who complain that ripping the piss out of neo nazi white supremacists is an attack on Christianity because the dumb racist scum just happen to call themselves "christian".

I suppose Phelps and his baptist church makes an interesting contrast.
Everyone rips into that, a few will make the point of freedom of speech but you don't get the they are picking on christians again comments.
It illustrates well that both the creationists(of any of the big3) and the WBC are easily ripped into, not because they claim they are of a certain faith but purely on what they say.

Of course. All kinds of bashing goes on here. Even threads like this one serve a purpose of sorts. I was speaking directly to people who have nothing more to add than "These people are all morons!" That kind of post serves no purpose at all.

If someone is making these claims here, fine. Show them they're wrong and why. Just saying "You're an ignoramus!" serves no purpose at all, especially when the claim wasn't even made here, but imported from another website.

On the other hand the people turning the "herding dinosaurs" claim into a joke about the best way to do said hunting are indeed serving a purpose. Humor is always a good thing.
