46-year-old leaps into den at Taipei Zoo, calls beasts to Christianity

�Come bite me!� he said with both hands raised

-Q- · Nov 3, 2004, 10:26 AM

Sigh. Stupidity knows no geographic boundaries.

Scientist · 10:43 AM

Sounds reasonable to me.

Headline: "Man tries to convert Scientist to Jesus, gets bitten"

Kilbey · Nov 3, 2004, 11:15 AM

Wow. Another thread bashing Christians.

Don't you guys get tired of listening to the same old broken record?

No one is bashing Christians. I am bashing:

1) Christians who try to convert lions.
2) Christians who try to convert Scientist

This doesn't include you, does it?

An Alias · Nov 3, 2004, 11:19 AM

What a fcukin dick, reminds me of the Christian maddos and snake-handling, only they still get bitten.

Crazy guy.

ManOfSteal · Nov 3, 2004, 11:20 AM

After sitting down my inner-child and thinking things through...I have come to the conclusion that this man was stupid. All evidence supports such reasoning as well.

I don't see how its bashing. Surely bordering on flame-bait but really.

So are you telling me you are defending this man?

�Come bite me!� he said with both hands raised

Anyways, either way, take it up with the popular press. My thread title is the title used for the original article.

Well, if you were God wouldn't you get pissed off if people tried, and have a laugh at their expense?

Eriamjh · Nov 3, 2004, 01:27 PM

I'm a Christian and I'd bite him too!

Disgruntled Head of C-3PO · Nov 3, 2004, 01:35 PM

That lion has the same look on his face as I would if someone tried to convert me

What was he expecting the lions to do if converted exactly? Jump out of the cage and kill some sinners in the name of Gods love?

Just because some crazies get in the news because they do strange religion-related things doesn't mean that posting threads about the crazies is attacking your religion. You wouldn't have a problem with this if the guy had been a member of any other religion.

They are just in "Christian Victim" mode.

What cheese goes best with that whine?

The man did something stupid, regardless of the reason. Although trying to convert a lion to christianity ranks up there with jumping in their pen and trying to paint their nails.

DeathToWindows · Nov 3, 2004, 02:25 PM

Yeah.. my response would be similar... not biting persay, but I'd rip his head off.

Actually trying to paint their nails seems far more reasonable to me, at least it could be done. Its too bad the stupid **** didn't get eaten.

True, true. I think it's time for the human race to do some more evolving.

I think you're the broken record. You say that every time there's a thread involving a christian doing something retarded. Go whine elsewhere.

VERY VERY DISTURBING VIDEO

not for the faint of heart

i have been sitting on this for about a month now, and i didn't want to start a thread for it. but here it is.

click if you like, its a video of a tourist getting eaten alive at a drive through safari in the 70s. i was ill for a day when i saw it, but for some of you it may not be as disturbing.

if this is inappropriate, i would be happy to delete this post.

Yes 120 posts ONCE in one day.

I'd rather have 120 posts EVERY DAY than be a hateful fanboy like you.

Fixed. The fact you actually looked that up Xeo really shows what a pathetic fanboy you are.

I couldn't tell you how many posts you have made in one day.

Do you know why? I don't care.

But then again, I am not a fanboy.

Are you 36 and live with your parents? Or is that what you daydream about me when you go into fanboy zone?

Keep em coming SWF, you are just proving my fanboy case.

Okay. So I wait over 1/2 an hour for the "buffering" to load the whole movie into the little embedded window. Who knows how many MBs or even k, it only displyed % - usually it's faster than this considering I have DSL here at the office. But then I miss the beginning of the clip because it starts while I'm paying attention to other things, so I hit stop. The time marker goes to the beginning. I hit play again. Ahhh. It begins buffering again from 0%, at perhaps 0.1k/sec.

I love ASF files. Windows Media Player, you're the bestest!

I have never pretended otherwise. And I'd watch who's calling who pathetic. I doubt you could find a day where I have even posted 25 times. And if you think it takes very long to automate the process of counting posts then you don't know much about programming.

But yes, I'm a fanboy. I enjoy catching you in lies.

If that is the case I am surprised you don't end up having to post more then 25 times a day

Lies?

Xeo get a grip. Unlike you, I have no idea HOW MANY TIMES I posted that many.

All I know is you said I had once. I went by what you had said.

So to say I was lying, well, makes you out to be an even bigger asshat.

I really wonder why NN even keeps you Xeo. You've shown to be one of the biggest trolling jerks in this forum.

Not a good example to be making for other forum members now is it?

I realize you aren't that old Xeo, but seriously. Grow up. Stop obsessing about me. You need a new hobby.

(I predict you will reply saying that I need a hobby since I posted 16x that many times!!, and boy, you'll really have a point.

Not)

MacNN has really gone south lately.

LOL. Yeah, you sure are my hobby. I spend every waking minute obsessing over you.

The reality is that I had said that you posted 212 times once, which is still true. I never said anything about 120 times and I don't know where SWG got that number, so when it came up I thought I'd clear things up. Fun ain't it?

I'd really like to know how I'm "one of the biggest trolling jerks." We've gotten into arguments, yes, but that's not trolling on either of our parts. Besides, that, I've posted facts about your post count a few times. What else have I done?

Xeo, posting facts about my post count, belittling me for it in a thread that has nothing to do with me in being a trollish jerk. And you being a mod, makes you an even BIGGER one because you are supposed to be showing an example for the posters in here.

You are just showing them that being a trollish asshat is ok.

You are acting like Rob. Plain and simple. And now like him, you are trying to rationalize/legitimize it.

You two wonder twins or something?
