B3ta - reflecting world religions?
We’ve got an Anglican church that is split between liberal minded folks open to the idea of gay vicars and female bishops, and the ultra-right wing bigots that are still stuck in the middle ages and wondering why church attendance is dropping off. You’ve got the Jewish faith which is split into so many different denominations of Jew that it’s hard to keep track, and they don’t mix. Catholics and Protestants, two faiths separated by a common God… etcetera. Whatever the denomination, their religious beliefs are right and everyone with a differing viewpoint will burn in hell.

And on B3ta we’ve got a number of forums, including /talk, and /board, and /QOTW… featuring members who have all (presumably) been attracted to B3ta by a love of creative and non-PC humour, whether written or graphic, but who are mostly comfortable in their own particular sphere.

I suppose what I’m saying is accept the fact that there are probably thousands of people that use B3ta and you’re not going to agree with all of them. But have enough respect to realise that people are free to post what they like, within certain parameters. Don’t hurl abuse at someone just because they have a different viewpoint to you. You don’t like that QOTW has become quite an interactive forum? Fine, don’t join in. Post something if you have something to contribute, otherwise leave them to their own devices. /Talk a bit quickfire and too full of abuse for your tastes? Leave it, it ain’t worth it. Can’t use photoshop? Not a problem, just look at the image challenge stuff. Find your niche, have a venture into other boards – if you don’t like what you see, you don’t have to go back.

But suggesting the removal of an entire board just because you perceive it to be of absolutely no relevance to you anymore? That’s just childish.

B3ta. It’s the new religion, I tells ya.

Well said that man!
DG - you will be flamed for being the prophet that speaks the truth.

I'd be honoured to be flamed next to you:

"We shall this day, master Davros, light such a flame as will never be put out" (or words to that effect.

How do you sodomise
A skull?
Silly, silly boy...
( Cawl, Wed 16 Jul 2008, 14:18, Reply)

Per dictionary.com
Sodomy: Sexual intercourse that is not the union of the genital organs of a man and a woman.

This definition is why they refer to forcible oral sex as "oral sodomy". When a paedo "sodomizes" a child, often it means he forces them to give a blowjob.

Therefore, yes, you can sodomize a skull.

sodomy
is a good word. it does not get used often enough.

of course, some may say this is a good thing.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 16 Jul 2008, 14:40, Reply)

Swipe
seeing as it's a context thing, it's probably best left as a little used word. Otherwise actions may need to be performed to justify its usage.

Hurrah!
DG's timely and insightful comment has developed into an intelligent and disturbing discussion about sodomy. I love this place.
( thealternativefact, Wed 16 Jul 2008, 14:45, Reply)

I seem to recall
a recent case where a man was arrested and convicted for having sex with a picnic table, and another guy was arrested for sexually assaulting a bicycle. I think they were both charged with sodomy.

Scary what the religious freaks can force onto the law, isn't it?

True, although I for one am fairly glad that I can walk down the street without being treated to the sight of people making love to various objects. Sometimes laws are a good thing.

You can't "make" me hump anything I don't want to, that's the beauty of having a penis.

The picnic table in question
was one of those round plastic sorts that has a hole in the center for an umbrella. The problem was that he was doing this on his back deck, rather than taking it inside.

The bicycle guy was, if I recall, English and was in his own room at the time.

I remember the bike guy
The article made me giggle, but as I recall, he was in the privacy of his own home. Which begs the question 'how did anyone know to prosecute him'?

From my vague memories of the story, I thought he was in a hotel room, and the maid walked in...

I could be wrong though
