    Hmmm... The conversation ends here. I guess I understood their position correctly. Which makes much of what they argue a little... odd.

    Honestly, I don't care how vulgar people make themselves appear. Vulgarity doesn't necessarily equate to "pornography", "filth" or "dirtiness". It can be defined as "the language of people with a lower education" and it has certainly been proven today. Utilizing the proper anatomical term for sexual organs isn't only proper, but preferred in higher education. But, attempting to demean someone by referring to them as a sexual organ is, well, vulgar even when the proper anatomical term is used.

    Now, if anyone wishes to discuss sexual repression among the political parties, let's begin with the current Democrat leader's (and his Vice-President's) stance on homosexual marriage, shall we and compare that to, oh... let's see... shall we begin with the Log Cabin Republicans? Then would anyone like to discuss Ronald Reagan's opposition to the Briggs Initiative?

    You've described acts of violence, not vulgarity. Why would anyone (of any political persuasion) consider these things vulgar? They don't even come close to fitting the definition of "vulgar". Here, I'll enlighten you:

    vulgar |ˈvəlgər|adjective lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined: the vulgar trappings of wealth.
    • making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions; coarse and rude: a vulgar joke.
    dated characteristic of or belonging to the masses.


    DERIVATIVESvulgarity |ˌvəlˈgaritē|noun ( pl. vulgarities ) ,vulgarly adverb

    ORIGIN late Middle English: from Latin vulgaris, from vulgus ‘common people.’ The original sense was ‘used in ordinary calculations’ (surviving in vulgar fraction) and ‘in ordinary use, used by the people’(surviving in vulgar Latin and vulgar tongue).

    Got it. Vulgar bothers you, but violence is not an issue. We all have our priorities.

    Oh, quite the contrary. Like I said, vulgarity doesn't bother me, but it does indicate the ignorance of the user. Now violence, on the other hand, bothers me considerably. Just as it should bother anyone with a conscience. The violence endemic of the Occupy camps is one example. 9/11 would be another example. The slaughter of innocent children is another example. Doesn't violence bother you?

    I tell you what, I'll stop using the word "penis" (which is hardly considered a vulgarity, by the way) if you stop being one. Fair enough? :confused:

    Referring to someone as such certainly IS a vulgarity, but I understand that you're not knowledgeable enough to know that (even after reading the definition).

    They are exempt, but aren't? Doesn't make sense lol ...but anyway, I'll ask you this: Are you saying the church has the right to deny their members coverage, even if some members want the coverage? Isn't that the church forcing their belief on others? Where does group-based religious rights end and individual religious rights begin?

    Two things: You complain about it, yet say it doesn't "bother" you... make up your mind! Secondly: So much for all that 1st amendment bs.

    Really though, if I wanted to get your feathers all ruffled I'd bring up the subject of Jr.'s refusal to answer the question of whether or not he had ever used cocaine. Why that does is beyond me.

    No, they are not "exempt"
    Here you go again back on "members". This has nothing to do with members.
    As for the religious rights, I am totally unaware that having medical insurance is a right - even with Obamacare. And, if you had read my post of Gowdy's comment, I would think you might have the idea that religious right appear to trump just about all other "rights" (most commonly called laws).

    I walked through the Occupy camp here every morning on my way to work and every evening on my way home and felt totally safe. Not to mention I actually got to talk with them quite a bit. Be that as it may, here's some reading material for you...

    And thanks for presenting absolute proof of my post #129, as if there had been any previous doubt.

    Religions and laws... two of the three things I despise most in the World. The other? Politics lol

    I really don't care if religion wins here. I'm assuming church members who want coverage can simply purchase a policy elsewhere. If they have to leave the church to do so, so be it.

    Just to be clear, coin may have reignited this little name-calling war between us (since neither of us had continued to do so until his objections), but neither of you are in any way innocent of exclaiming "vulgarities" to others. A look at your posts over the last year will confirm that.

    Well, to be fair, there are times when there is lots of violence there... like when the police come and start using their nightsticks on people, or when they slam people into the pavement and smash their knees into the Occupier's necks, or when the police come and shoot the Occupiers with tear gas and rubber bullets. You know, then it tends to get a bit violent.
