That is what I was asking. hoping that LDS.net had a forum that would allow a question like that but. . . Again, Thanks.:-) Edited August 8, 2012 by JohnnyRudick Atrocious spelling;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy740 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 No problem. LDS.net is owned by a non-profit organization (The More Good Foundation) and needs to preserve its tax-exempt status. This is why there is no talk about current political candidates. It's not that it's not worth discussing, but that it can be a liability to the owners of the forum... of which, we are all guests (or severely underpaid staff).

carlimac Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Kudos to both Johnny and Skippy for being polite. Just had to say it. So much snarkiness in the world right now. An LDS board should be a model of being considerate of another person. Thank you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ugh - breaking news:Family Research Council shooting leaves security guard woundedAccording to the CFA critics I've talked to, The Family Research Council was top on their list of 'hate groups'. Don't expect to see much about this shooting, the FRC, or Chick-Fil-A, in the news any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while i don't like what the FRC claims to know about me as a fact, i don't like the idea of people using violence to settle the issue.though on the other side.....General Mills protest goes wrong when flaming Cheerios box sets lawn on fire | Daily Buzz - Yahoo!

Once they pick up a gun (or bomb, or knife, or what have you), they distance themselves in my mind from association with that side.I don't believe this guy is a member of the Same Sex Marriage rights brigade - no matter how much he sounds like one. (I guess if they want to claim him though, I'm happy to rethink things...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither side can account for their fringe and can even create distance, but in the end they are on the side they've chosen. the fringe on both sides give a black eye to their stance and really do nothing but help breed contention. We all actually tend to encourage the nut jobs by creating more tension than actually trying to accomplish things and that's for many topics, not just SSM.

It is it worth for a group to deny association with them, or is just best to quickly condemn them and forget about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwesterherz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) I have created my first memebase pic: We do not know this company in Germany. We have, however, heard about them in our media. It was all about that this company (or their president) is against the marriage for homosexuals. This is his opinion he has a right to say that. Clearly that [those with same sex attraction] do not like this opinion, they must bear it, however. This is America, the country of the free and the brave. Everybody can say there what he thinks. It will so stupidly be sometimes as this Westboro Baptist Church of Fred Phelps.

Soulsearcher Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Will that please people, though? Stopping funding is still a far cry from supporting and liking something.I know it does make a difference to me. I don't care if people support me or like me, i do care when they try and stop me. Again it's one thing to be anti anything in thought, it's when the thought turns into action that people tend to feel the sting more. Think of Anti mormons. If they just hold their views it's one thing, When they start protesting, or making sites to mislead the public or actively try to do harm they tend to become more of a pain. Or is that just my view?

NeuroTypical Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) I'm still unhappy that everyone and their dog has accepted the lie that 'supporting traditional marriage' = 'anti-gay'. Good reminder that just because everybody you talk to and every news source you can find says something, doesn't mean it's true.
