Re: Attention! - To the Wondering Soul by darkhelmet10	28-Mar-03/12:04 PM
Alright zz66 Ill break it down for you, first off, what you said about God making homos and it being alright is a lie, I don?t know who told you that or maybe you saw two male dogs humping each other and took a mental note, but your wrong. Even if there is homosexuality in nature it doesn?t matter. You see we humans have something animals do not, that is a soul. We also have comprehension of things like god and right and wrong, a dog knows its wrong to crap on the carpet only because he has been taught that if he does he will receive punishment. We as humans have a conscience and know instinctively what is wrong and right. Getting back to the point, Here is what the Bible has to say about homosexuality, "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable" (Leviticus 18:22) and "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads" (Leviticus 20:13) and In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion" (Romans 1:26-27). I don?t know how anyone in their right minds who would, after reading these passages think that homosexuality is acceptable. Getting on with the next point, <No, it doesn?t depend on how you view it. No matter how you look at it, it is still evil, > What I mean is, sin is still sin, no matter how YOU look at it. Killing the Iraqis is not a sin because they are the ones who attacked us first. They funded terrorists that killed 2000 of our citizens, it might as well been Saddam flying the plane. It is now our right to avenge our dead. God also says that it is our obligation to stop evil around the world. And that is exactly what we are doing. <The Iraqis were just minding their own business and then BAM here comes America with their big guns their banners of freedom and wealth. I cant help thinking that this country is slowly dying and the masses don?t give a damn, they are content to live their lives and stay out of other peoples business, what happens when the law is determined by your beliefs, there is a word for that its called ANARCHY!!> This last statement was what liberals like yourself all around America are saying, <the Iraqis were just minding their own business and then BAM here comes America with their big guns their banners of freedom and wealth.> They don?t think we have the right to protect ourselves against terrorists, they say that it can all be ?Resolved? I say the only way to resolve this conflict is to dig out all the hiding Iraqi leaders from their little holes and then bury them again. <I cant help thinking that this country is slowly dying and the masses don?t give a damn, they are content to live their lives and stay out of other peoples business,> The average teenager doesn?t know anything about politics and are content to stay that way. They don?t know what?s really going on over in Iraq all they know is what they are fed. They take all they hear and believe it because they only get one side of the story. And that story doesn?t include morals or God, it says ?America is greedy and wants more oil and is masking it by saying that Iraq is a threat to our everyday life.? On a side note, if you don?t believe me go online and check any survey on what teens know about politics. Half of teens can?t even tell you who our vice president is. That is shameful. ZZ66, next time get some proof to back up your arguments. If your going to bring up what God thinks about things then you better be able to back it up with his own words, also known as the Bible.

No, it doesn?t depend on how you view it. No matter how you look at it, it is still evil, even if you yourself think it to be right, if you think that killing people is acceptable then you are wrong. The problem with people today is that they think that everyone is right, no matter what. Its because they themselves are doing what they know to be wrong and do not want anyone condemning them, so they say that absolutes are what you make them, you are your own God. Its an old scheme that has been going on for generations, the plan is this, you say something long enough eventually people will believe it. That?s how homosexuality is where it is today, because people didn?t want confrontations and eventually a new generation is born and all they hear about is how homosexuality is acceptable and anyone who thinks differently is a bigot. Soon as the next generation arises they will begin to doubt their own country, they'll say that we are the evil in this war, the iraqis were just minding their own buisness and then BAM here comes America with thier big guns their banners of freedom and wealth. I cant help thinking that this country is slowly dying and the masses don?t give a damn, they are content to live their lives and stay out of other peoples business, what happens when the law is determined by your beliefs, there is a word for that its called ANARCHY!!

Ok, Im not. I meant what, not who. Typo on my part. But after reading your response I understand.
Re: Shut Up by openwounds	23-Mar-03/6:59 PM
Who gave this a 10? This sounds like some kind of Manson song, I would have taken it as a plea for help from a tormented child until the last line "Now I'm pretty" it just creeped me out, it appears that years of abuse have pushed you to the edge of sanity, I just can't help thinking of Slipknot or whatever those bands are that sing of self mutilation and depravity. Bands I am sure you idolize and hold in high regard. Wake up. The way you are now is not because some jock beat you up or the pretty girls giggle at you, it is because you let them, the only person to blame for your depression is yourself. The second you let them get to you, the second you give up is where you are to blame. All my life people have told me I?m not good enough, It makes me stronger, that is what I feed off of. The more people say Ill never amount is what pushes me further. Some good advice, no matter how crappy your surroundings become don?t give up, do not let them get to you.
Re: Pathetic by openwounds	23-Mar-03/4:34 PM
It sounds like you should just work out and beat the crap out of all these jerks, thats what I did. I was always messed with because Im a Christian. So I worked out for three months straight and next time someone made fun of me or pushed me around I kicked the crap out of them and made sure everyone saw, I didnt have anymore problems.
Re: Shut Up by openwounds	23-Mar-03/4:25 PM
This is a incredibly disturbing poem.
Re: Attention! - To the Wondering Soul by darkhelmet10	23-Mar-03/1:28 PM
I disagree. This world is full of evil, the day you are born you are inclined to do the wrong thing. But thats only true if you believe in absolutes. So many people these days see only grey, they dont believe in right and wrong, and the truth is the more time goes by the more that dark creeps up on us soon the so-called grey will be blackened and well be asking what went wrong. This is why our troops are over there right now, to put an end to evil. While some may say that the motivation is solely greed I disagree(look at my comment on the poem W.A.R.) While none are perfect, the difference is the will to be perfect which seperates us from the rest of the world, we as a nation were born upon the principles and morals of Christianity. And as time goes by we reject it and shove it as far back as possible claiming to be our own Gods, claiming to know all that is important. If we continue to shun wisdom in this country it will be us burning our books in the streets.
Re: Eternal Waiting by darkhelmet10	23-Mar-03/1:12 PM
I felt this way alot until I got off my butt and started to do somthing with my life, I had no motivation or want to do anything. This girl ran my life and as soon as she was gone there was nothing. I couldnt take it anymore, I just walked out my front door and walked 2 miles and then came home started playing bass and guitar, made new friends and went paintballing and camping every month. The first step is your front door. I dont know if you wrote this poem but if anyone can relate to this poem, then this is my ten cents.
Re: Oxywarmonger by poetandknowit	23-Mar-03/1:03 PM
Who is this poem about exactly?
Re: Idiot Box by thepinkbunnyofdoom	22-Mar-03/7:36 PM
Kinda reminds me of a song I know, One to another Do you remember me? I feel so small Well are you list'in to me So temporary The things that I have seen I ran so far Will you take me back again Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time I fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me One to another The feelings in between I won't let go Of all you taught me - alright Close as a brother The way we used to be I'll hold my breath And I'll wait for you to breath Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels While the night becomes history Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time I fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels While the night becomes history Host of heaven, sing over me
Re: Gods Gift of Love by mckenzie	22-Mar-03/7:07 PM
Sadly I must side with D.A., while I might not be the best speller or an excellent grammar student, I know how important grammar and spelling can be to just about everything you will try to accomplish in life. *If you can't spell people will never take you seriously, trust me it happens to me all the time. *Not understanding basic grammar will effect how you write and speak. *Do you ever finish reading a poem that has tons of grammatical errors? I don't, Because it shows that what they posted was something not very well thought out. They did not take the time to correct it, or improve on it, all they have is a foundation of an idea. I guarantee you that if they went over this poem a couple times it would be significantly better. While I do like this poem, like all I see room for improvement. 7
Re: Relentless by GekoHawaii	22-Mar-03/6:03 PM
I like how you spaced the lines to make them seem opposite, what would have been cooler is if you had made this poem as an argument with yourself and had each line opposing the one before. I still like it though, 8
Re: Knowing love by mckenzie	22-Mar-03/5:56 PM
It was the special sound of his voice. Or the gleam in his eyes. Wait, what if it was the way he said You'r name that unmasked his disguise. I'm not certain, but whatever the cause, my mind still questions is this love? I heard my body scream as his hands touched my face I felt my knees weaken as he slowly kissed me But these moments do not campare to when we laid eye to eye in the bed we had shared and knowing his thoughts as he stared That was the look in his eyes I will never be the same With him by my side And in that one brief moment, In that space of time When all else stood still i met love... (Your poem was good but it had too many excess words that slowed the pace and flow. The fewer words in most cases will better support your meaning and will keep peoples attention.) 5

Re: W.A.R. by lunar	22-Mar-03/12:34 PM
"The only necessary thing for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" It is our duty to take out tyranny and evil though out the world, if you were an Iraqi would you want the U.S. to mind their own business. You were born free to do whatever you want, and that is something that everyone should have. (oh and ranger, the reason we want their oil is so we wont have to rely on them, he could raise it to any price he wants, and that means that we would have to give him a lot of money, which means more bio weapons, which means more dead Americans and Iraqis) I don?t know about the rest of you wimps but I stand behind my country and my president.
