Why? He's a dick, we are dicks, everyone's a dick. Pretty consistent, actually.
I was referring to the body part of the equation. I don't particularly want to spell it out.

...Err, not really. He didn't hate us. He hated the attitude :v
I'll admit, I've never really figured out the functional difference between the two. It's always been a sort of "I don't hate you, I just hate who you are." Considering that, in practice, you and your behavioral patterns (attitude, etc.) are identical, it's... pretty much the same thing.
"I like your body, but you're a total dick."
Which gets exponentially wierder when you factor in the fact that God created us in his image.
Speaking of creationism, can we please stop talking about religion?

Last time I had a conversation about that particular topic, it somehow devolved into a bunch of frothingly hateful Russian priests, annoyingly inconsistent liberal arts students, zealous muslim converts fresh from the prison, surprisingly erudite and considerate skinheads and overly elitist moderators themselves calling each other names until one of the moderators got actually insulted, went ballistic and permanently banned all the participants after deleting the entire subforum.

And then he sent us all a 7600+ words long email, which basically amounted to him being D'Arthagnan and us being fags.

Sure, I don't mind not talking about it.

And I have to say, that situation sounds funny to me. Not entirely sure why, but I laughed.

As for the Bible on homosexuality (And I most certainly do not agree with the view expressed):
"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet"
Do note. Lust, and not love. Were it ever mentioned that it was love, then it would be explicitly inferred. It was never mentioned.
There's a whole chasm of differences between the two that the point of interpretation or understanding still holds.

Scary.
I do this mostly with the people in my community and everything is super clean. Yeah, we're very mixed. Muslims, Christians, Catholics. Stuff like that :v

I just wonder how volatile it gets in other places. Not that open-minded/fluid I guess?
Seriously, many people take things too literally. Let's eat our lord and savior! >_>


...
WTF: Spiders.
I believe they know when I'm watching them.
I look at my window. I see a jumping spider. It stares back at me through the glass, perched on the windowsill.
It turns around then hops out of view.
...
I turn back and look again a few minutes later. It is in the same position as it was originally, looking at me. Then it jumps away.
Again.
They're watching me. And/or I don't clean my window that much.

They're not watching you, they're watching out for you. The spiders simply want to make sure that wasps or mosquitoes aren't attacking you.

They're your friendly neighbourhood spiders. Give 'em some respect, they work long hours fighting the bad and still get bad PR!

I'd make a reference to Graknorke's situation from the Rage thread, but that can't happen to you, Tiruin.

You say that like you can't get a mosquito bite on the clit or labia.

Happen whatnow?

Anyway, yeah Dwarfy :) That's how I lost my arachnophobia. Understanding those little ones (I had a pic on house spiders in the Philippines in..err, one of these threads I think. Maybe this thread?). But I'm still biased to love jumping spiders more.

Because erratic movement.

Oh.
*searches context*
OH.

Though in all seriousness: I've never heard of anyone getting bitten by insects in the...nether regions.
Ever. Until I met Graknorke.

Russian internet users, as a general rule, suffer from a clinical inability to even concieve that they might be wrong in their opinions. Combine this with the traditional slavic character trait of getting insulted when people disagree with you and voila! - the majority of online discussions very quickly devolve into pointless bickering.

That was, I believe, a satirical retort to someone taking the bible too literally.

Doesn't help when people act like trolls or spew conspiracy theories.

Still though, what you said certainly isn't all Russians. You, Sergarr, and Comrade P. for example.
