The Executive Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Hmm. Funny,none of my Walmarts have any lego period. Sure, like one or two bionicle sets and thats pretty much it. I don't even bother going there.
Norrington Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) I don't remember the scripture but I heard it just last Sunday. It talked about not involving yourself with or supporting gays and other bad guys. That scripture exsists. It dosn't tell you to not support Homosexuals, though. It tells you to kill them. The scripture @Zauve: 1) Allmost all of the Old Testament scriptures are plagerised from Meopotamian manuscripts that have been proven to be older than the writing of the bible. 2) The Old Testament is not really meant to be taken seriously, it's just metaphors. 3) Homosexuals are "bad guys"? How narrow minded. Calling someone a "bad guy" based on how they find happiness. How... Republican :-| Next thing you know, all African Americans are evil. 4) Conrtrary to the way the Bible says it: Women and Men are equels. 5) Jesus was black... Just an idea: Don't take every thing in religion so seriously, and don't be so un-accepting. You should try being open to other life-styles and beleifs. On topic: Well, I allways though Toys 'R' Us was overpriced, but they allways ad up to date sets Edited July 18, 2007 by Norrington
5150 Lego Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I don't remember the scripture but I heard it just last Sunday. It talked about not involving yourself with or supporting gays and other bad guys. Just cause somone said it doesn't mean it to be right. How bout this,.. you go to your pastor and ask him to quote the exact scripture and see what he can find. Hmm... Let me enlighten you:1) Allmost all of the Old Testament scriptures are plagerised from Meopotamian manuscripts that have been proven to be older than the writing of the bible. 2) The Old Testament is not really meant to be taken seriously, it's just metaphors. 3) Homosexuals are "bad guys"?

Just an idea: Don't take every thing in religion so seriously, and don't be so un-accepting. You should try being open to other life-styles and beleifs. Thank you Norrington. Very well said. While there are things about homesexuality that i don't agree with, they are just as much people as anyone.
cody Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) That scripture exsists. It dosn't tell you to not support Homosexuals, though. It tells you to kill them. But, somethings I must point out:1) Allmost all of the Old Testament scriptures are plagerised from Meopotamian manuscripts that have been proven to be older than the writing of the bible. 2) The Old Testament is not really meant to be taken seriously, it's just metaphors. 3) Homosexuals are "bad guys"?

Norrington Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) "2) The Old Testament is not really meant to be taken seriously, it's just metaphors. FALSE" Not to be mean, but do you seriously beleive that? If you take it seriously, it sounds crazy. You have to look at it from a certain stand point. For example, in one story a man was killed for working on Sunday. It's a metaphor meaning that you shouldn't work on sunday, not an account of something that actully happened. "all African Americans are evil. NEUTRAL" WHAT?!?! You gotta' be kiddin' me! You're saying that someone is evil because the color of their skin is different than yours!?! You're basicly contradicting what you said about Homosexuals. It's the same principals. "4) Conrtrary to the way the Bible says it: Women and Men are equels. FALSE" How so? Women are as capable as men in anything. I mean, that is soooo Republican. "5) Jesus was black... FALSE (like.....what do you mean? he got sun burn or something?)" Maybe not Black, per se, but he wasn't white, as he is very often depicted. He was Israli, therefore, did not have white skin. Edited July 18, 2007 by Norrington

Norrington Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 No, I'm pretty sure he was saying Jesus was African American :-D And please let's not turn this into a religious debate ;-) No, just saying that Jesus wasn't white and he had brownish skin.
Optikal Illushun Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I dispise my local Wal-Mart to the point that i want to see if crumble but they ran out K-Mart and Ames so its our only choice. They almost always never have ya i need and everything i dont. Thier Lego section is a joke, restocking is non-exsistant and they keep moving items around.
Starwars4J Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 No, just saying that Jesus wasn't white and he had brownish skin. Well perhaps "African American" was a poor choice of words since he wasn't an American...:-P

Women are as capable as men in anything. I mean, that is soooo Republican. how are we completely equal? name the last US president or UK prime minister who is a female. nothing to say? huh? "5) Jesus was black...FALSE (like.....what do you mean? he got sun burn or something?)" Maybe not Black, per se, but he wasn't white, as he is very often depicted. He was Israli, therefore, did not have white skin. No, just saying that Jesus wasn't white and he had brownish skin. i assume you know the difference between "BLACK" and "BROWNISH" right? or you don't? No, I'm pretty sure he was saying Jesus was African American :-D And please let's not turn this into a religious debate ;-) No, I'm pretty sure it was not that. As America was not found yet in year 0.
Starwars4J Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Cody, this isn't an argument on religion, this is about TRU. Let's try to not get into religion
cody Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Cody, this isn't an argument on religion, this is about TRU. Let's try to not get into religion i quite agree with you. but I definitely wasn't the one to bring up Male/Female Balance or African American/ Gay are bad people. back to topic.........is ther anyway we can tackle walmart? Imagine what would happen if Toysrus and other toys storm are being forced to shut down? COMPLETE WALMART DOMINANCE! everything (including) lego is going to sky rocket in terms of price
Norrington Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Cody, this isn't an argument on religion, this is about TRU. Let's try to not get into religion OK, 4J. Let me clear some things up, OK?"in one story? where is that story?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I meant they are all metapors. That was 1 example. Here is the story: The Story It just means not to work on the Sabbath. It is not an account of someting that happened. "no no no, YOU have got to be kidding my, do you understand the meaning of "NEUTRAL"? " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I do. But even if you are undecided, not all African Americans are evil. "how are we completely equal? name the last US president or UK prime minister who is a female. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just because they have not been elected to those positions doesn't mean they are incapable, does it? " i assume you know the difference between "BLACK" and "BROWNISH" right? or you don't? No, I'm pretty sure it was not that. As America was not found yet in year 0." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I do. know the difference between "Black" and "Brownish". But, where I come from, "Black" means to have "Brown Skin", and of course America was not yet founded yet in the year 0. However, "African American" is the correct term where I come from. I'm done in this debate. And some of the way you are writing makes me think that you think that I'm an incompetant buffon. :-( Quite the opposite, my mutual friend. |-/
gylman Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Jeez, how old are you guys? Does the name Margaret Thatcher sound familiar? The longest serving British PM in the last 150 years?? And some of the other stuff that's being said here is inappropriate.
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 We shop at Martins; have been for 15 years. Far superior to Wal-Mart, IMHO.
Norrington Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Jeez, how old are you guys?Does the name Margaret Thatcher sound familiar? The longest serving British PM in the last 150 years?? And some of the other that's being said here is inappropriate. Sorry. I'm unfimiliar with Margret Thatcher because I'm not European, and don't really know much about the goverment. As for the inappropriate things, said, I apologize to you and to anyone else who was offended. I'm afraid I try and keep all my statements as politicly correct as possible when discussing religon and beleifs. Sincerest apologies, Norrington
Starwars4J Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 OK, 4J. Let me clear some things up, OK? No Norrington, it isn't. I said to stop, and I didn't mean just him. I said this wasn't a topic about religion and I meant it. I know you wanted the last word but that is not the topic and many, many people could easily find this offensive. This topic is really going nowhere other than one guy bashing Walmart and the rest of you talking about religion and who is and isn't equal :-| I'm closing this. If someone else feels that it should be reopened that's okay, but I've even been contacted about this being extremely offensive. Norrington, next time I say to cut it out, please just do it...
