If a BMORG member were to beat up a woman...

Post by DarrylVanRhey » Mon Oct 17, 2005 12:46 pm

...what would happen to them?

Would they be kicked out of the organization, on the grounds that there is no excuse for violence against women, or would they be allowed to stay part of the organization, as if nothing had ever happened?

Just wondering...

Do you have any evidence that someone commiting a serious crime would be tolerated as a senior or even junior or even volenteer by the event?

Do you truly believe that the ptb would risk the event by commiting that sort of negligence?

If an Eplayan made baseless accusations, bordering on libel, would they be banned from further Eplaya access?

To begin with, God would start weeping...because you are not supposed to beat people.
It`s in the bible, I`m sure of it. Probably a commandment or something. "Thou shalt not beat thy wife nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant nor anything that annoys thee...." or something to that effect.
Anyway, God weeps and shit starts happening....floods, quakes, hurricanes named after your friends...you get the picture?...and it`s not a pretty picture...but then, it`s not a good idea to upset God...and if you actually piss her off....well don`t go there. Sometimes God takes a personal interest in some that fail to grasp her cosmic hints.
And naturally , anything that would piss God off is simply going to be irresistable to various police agencies. You would be suprised how many
law enforcement officers wield the actual power of God in their vinyl gloved hands, and as you know, God takes a very dim view of woman beaters. I believe the worldly terms would be "domestic violence" or "aggravated assault" And generally speaking, if you resist the power of God as applied by her various earthly administrators, you could get a facefull of playa and a pair of handcuffs sinched tightly around your pathetic, woman beating wrists,... to prevent you from hurting yourself of course.
Then, there is the ride to jail, arraignments, pesky court dates and trials, fines, incarceration....yep....not a good idea to deviate from the will of God.
I understand that BMORG is a rather secular and agnostic lot, but I have a feeling that they would back God up on this one.

So. YOU aren`t still molesting puppies are you? ....just wondering.

So who is this "God" you keep referring to?
There are over 40,000 organized religions out there. I'm sure if one did some research they would find that almost everything they do offends someone's religious beliefs somewhere.

Positively.
History is littered with poor fucks who fucked with God.
Look at David Koresh. Poor bastard. Reincarnated king...or stupid megalomaniacal fuckstick? Do you think it was merely jack-booted thugs from federal agencies that spelled his demise?
I think history will report that he fucked with God and got burned.
Unfortunately he took his mislead followers with him.
But, you are absolutely right about this God I keep refering to.

let us pray:

God I love the OP`s twisty open ended questions, beckoning as if on satin sheets, spread wide open, begging for me to penetrate and interpret as I see fit on my breaktime.
amen.

Why don't you ask Marian about this? Or at least ask one of her flacks who post on the eplaya?

Hmmmm...

Do I detect a bit of... hmmm... bitterness toward BMORG? Maybe a sock who is trying to stir up some shit for his own purpose? Maybe like a disgruntled ex employee or maybe someone who was jilted by someone involved in the llc?

There was a post here a few months ago, and I'll give the same advice the soldier in the picture was giving (Quick, someone, find me that picture!!)... "HOW ABOUT A NICE BIG CUP OF SHUT THE FUCK UP? - Think before you say something stupid". I know it won't help what you've already posted, but you might want to consider it before you stick your leg any further down your throat.

Just my advice. Since you, Mister 5 Posts (each one trying desparately to implicate the llc) are (apparently) also a flack that is posting here...

Now,, I'll take a cuppa that myself.

Hey, let's get real, your question assumes that any BMORG member could beat up a woman.

What if a BMorg member were an alien

Post by MoisturePup » Tue Feb 07, 2006 9:31 am

What if a BMorg member were an alien...
What if a BMorg member was really the buddah...
What if a BMorg member killed kittens...
What if a BMorg member ran a Nazi death camp...
What if a BMorg member fetishized dish towels...

...what would happen to them?

Would they be kicked out of the organization, on the grounds that there is no excuse for [aliens, buddahs, kitten kilers, Nazi death camps, dish towel fetishizers] or would they be allowed to stay part of the organization, as if nothing had ever happened?

Just wondering...


You can all play along!!!
