Anything that tries to stick to biblical principles, rather than bend or break to fit "modern views" is likely going to be called some sort of phobic, bigoted, racist, etc. People holding views countering the unchanging message of the bible simply cannot tolerate its unwavering stance against what it defines as sin. Terminally online people seem far more likely to be locked into their ideology and far less likely to engage in good faith discussion, because introspection and self-reflection are not possible when the person arguing refuses facts and logic.

It kills me that nobody can have an honest to goodness discussion about things anymore. It seems that if you don't agree with someone's every choice and belief these days, they see you as an enemy who MUST be silenced, by any means necessary. The world really is in a sad state, and I am ashamed to see the USA appearing to lead this charge into abject insanity. Stifling creativity, competition and speech are mainstays of this rhetoric, and yet they ignore the irony that is clearly visible when they say conservative opinion-holders are "trying to take away" someone's rights by simply disagreeing with the premise of their argument and backing it up with facts. We have a faction of grown-ass adults who literally scream, shout, and attack you for having a differing point of view.

First world country which treats its citizens as third world, that's what we live in. Follow the money, because if something isn't making money for someone, then we don't get it.

That's a path to inequality, not equality. Trying to silence people because you don't like certain words is a bit of fascism in itself, which these people claim to be against.

Trillian was good stuff. Then came Pidgin, which was free and open source if I recall correctly. At one point I had AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk, and ICQ all going at once.

If they really wanted to do damage, mods could just delete their subs, assuming that can be done.
