[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	They also want government out of everything except those specific issues where they believe it is their right to force others to their will. At least they go to church once a week so that makes up for it....... Right? -----signature----- (none)

But... "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil". Yeah a love of money is an issue with a lot of them. At the core their belief is that they know how better to spend their money than the government does. Considering our government is $15000000000000 in debt... I'd say that it's an accurate statement. -----signature----- (none)

	Very true. Republicans and Democrats are fundamentally hypocritical. How can you be for social freedom and against fiscal freedom or vice versa? They're duals. -----signature----- !Mikethered Music/Radio Activist I only troll the trolls.

	notmforce2k posted: Less government! Oh you better make a law keeping marriage between a woman! Oh, and another law for prayers in school. Oh, and make a law saying that we can teach creationism. Oh, and another law... The only one you got right is that they have asked for laws preventing gay marriage. It is the current interpretation of the constitution that prevents prayers in school and the teaching of creationism. They want these interpretations overturned - less government, not more. Well, one out of three isn't bad, if you're a baseball player. -----signature----- (none)

	Culture does not reflect religion. Religion reflects culture. These are people who are culturally opposed to "socialism" (quoted because they use it a HELL of a lot more than what it means), and use religion as a tool to justify their positions, not as a tool to establish their positions. One can lead pretty much any lifestyle and justify it with scripture. -----signature----- "... We just need a president to sign this stuff...
