Actually, I was referring to myself as the "queen"....it's a bit of a private joke between myself and my animus, er, I mean Ahnimus. Sadly it probably doesn't make much sense to anyone else.

Damn.

Well if you want to be the queen of pointless trivialities, we could battle it out. You just might win!

You can stay the reigning Queen of Pointless Trivialities...

I'll inherit Queen of Pointless!

I think I shall cue Freddie Mercury in my iTunes and let him serenade me with "God Save The Queen".

Excuse me while I powertrip.

Sounds fair. Long live Freddie, especially that cool glam 70's look.

Wow, how disheartening. Something tells me I'll get over it, however.

I'm all for progress. I just don't think it's progress when we are not acting like we respect each other's views. In my interactions with know1, we've disagreed many times, but I don't recall him ever laughing at me. Maybe he is different with you. I felt he was being conscientious and well-intended in this thread for the most part.

at some level people have to understand the concept of "busting balls"... unfortunatley with the lack of physical communication the internet provides, things can be mis-interpreted. he has been posting for just as long as i have here, i think we can take some liberty with each other once in a while, without being to personal or over the top. trust me, if i met the guy i would shake his hand and have the utmost respect for him, i certainly would not refer to him as a sinner

And because you believe differently than know1 about premarital sex, it's hardly been determined as absolute law that your opinion connotes progress from his.

i have never claimed that my opinion is absolute law, i openly admit that i am wrong more than i am right. i believe his belief that pre-marital sex is a "sin" equals a belief that HIS opinion is absolute. having a "faith" does not make someone morally superior, which quite frankly, is how know1 comes off quite a bit.

This is why all opinions are equal.

i strongly disagree. i feel they are equal in the right to express, but they are not equal in terms of value or merit. an example i would give is Martin Luther King Jr. and the Grand Wizard of the KKK. i support their right to express their opinion, but one is obvioulsy superior in merit and value.

I find hypocrisy to be amusing, too, especially when we take the "morally superior" role calling out someone else's "moral superiority" in the name of progress.

again, i was not claiming to be "morally superior, he is the onle that claims pre-marital sex is a sin. and again, i am the first to admit that i have many flaws. i think you have it backwards on this one good friend.

You are right, though, calling another "full of it" is a right we should all reserve.

i hope more like minded people in positions of power have the bravery he does to come out and express his beliefs. because it is idiotic statements like this that help push these issues to the front, causing conversation and debate. ultimately leading to progress. so i would like to shake his hand, for helping the cause of progress, unkowingly.

You were laughing at him. He was being earnest. It came off as unfair to me.
