jkaands Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 [quote name='Luigi' timestamp='1308283323' post='2254949'] Wow! If they keep closing threads around here at the rate we're going, we'll be able to take all the closed threads, weave them into cloth, and make clothes for most of the poor population of the Third World! NB: This is not an indictment of the mods who close the threads. It is (supposed to be) a sarcastic comment intended to prompt posters to ask themselves why we can't discuss like the intelligent, grown-up, siblings-in-Christ that we claim to be. To quote Lyndon Johnson, quoting Isaiah: Come, let us reason together. To quote the IRS: Reasonable people can disagree. [/quote] Yes. Forums.catholic.com, a forum which can be pretty strict, just re-opened a thread, subject to strict surveillance, about a certain priest. It turns out that more than one lie was made. A lot of people have been very let down. Phat can discuss the same events, but won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 [quote name='Socrates' timestamp='1308423027' post='2255635'] Remember to Question Authority and Dissent is Patriotic! . . . Oops! Sorry, that was from back in '07 - I mean, All Hail Dear Leader! Defend Change! [/quote] Actually that was a little more further back than 2007 if we're thinking of the same quote by Theodore Roosevelt that, after his Presidency, he wrote an editorial in the Kansas City Star on May 7, 1918. [quote]"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 [quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1309048177' post='2258770'] Wasn't me [/quote] I'm not blaming you, or any of the other mods - note that I said "had to close..." When a thread is closed, I usually agree that it was time to do so. This is more about self-monitoring (as a group - if a group [i]can[/i] self-monitor) our unproductive argumentation... and I use the word both loosely and advisedly.
