Sure, there are plenty of hateful people who will always hold on to their bigotry like a child to a blanket. But there are also good people out there, Christian and otherwise that are beginning to listen.
Boy with a Basket of Fruit (1593–94) is a painting by Caravaggio. The model was his friend and lover, the Sicilian painter Mario Minniti, about 16 years old at the time. At one level the painting is designed to demonstrate the artist's ability to depict everything realistically, from the boy's skin to the folds of the robe to the weave of the basket. A closer look however reveals that, as in another painting by him from that time (Basket of Fruit), the peaches have spots and the leaves are diseased, perhaps a comment by the artist on the closeness of beauty and decay in life.
Lol. yes the right user but I mischaracterized them as new-ish, edits I had seen on other articles led me to think they were just testing the waters but the work seems good. Benjiboi01:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay - that made me laugh - A LOT! I just came from the weekly drag king show in Wilmington, NC, so that's just priceless :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 08:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Maybe Scarlet doesn't host the shows anymore. I can't find a pic of her. I know Tara did alot of hosting the last few times I was there, but Scarlet use to be the head queen. Looking through this list, I realized I've seen many of them perform. I use to be a barfly, but no more. Jakki O'Knight hosts the Trailer Trash Drag Night on Thursdays at Flex in Raleigh. If you ever get a change, GO. She is the funniest thing ever and was even on Fox News during the Duke Lacrosse scandal because her cousing was the accuser.

APK, there are just some pictures of yourself that you really shouldn't upload on Misplaced Pages or Commons. I am going to tag that pic of you for SPEEDY DELETE. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 10:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed your userbox from the Scouting userbox listing, per Content Restrictions on userboxes that are divisive or inflammatory, specifically "Misplaced Pages is not an appropriate place for propaganda, advocacy, or recruitment of any kind, commercial, political, religious, or otherwise, opinion pieces on current affairs or politics, self-promotion, or advertising." Saying you are against the BSA and support another organization for that reason is divisive. Per the userbox guideline, this isn't appropriate. I'm not disagreeing with the meaning behind the userbox, but the delivery is the part in question. Justinm1978 (talk) 20:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I disagree with that assessment as almost every userbox at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Scouting/Userboxes violates that policy via "commercial" (The BSA makes money selling things), "political" (The BSA receives government money and uses government facilities), "religious" (The BSA promotes Christian-only religion and discriminates against Agnostics) and "self-promotion" (the userboxes promote the BSA and many areas of the BSA) aspects. Therefore, User:Allstarecho/scouts is no more divisive or in violation of policy that 98% of the current boxes are. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 20:29, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
You're arguing a red herring and avoiding what is actually being said with the BSA boxes: Nothing in there is promoting the preference of the BSA over another similar organization. Your userbox directly attacks instead of promotes Campfire USA. Per that policy cited above, the correct way to word your userbox would be "This user supports the programs and policies of Campfire USA." No injection of political or religious bias, just simply stating that you prefer the programs of Campfire USA.
Read this sentence, and tell me how your userbox DOESN'T violate this: "Essentially: Express what you like, rather than what you don't like. Express who you are, rather than who you aren't. Express what you do, rather than what you don't." Justinm1978 (talk) 20:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
It doesn't "attack", it cites fact. The links go to articles and sections of articles on Misplaced Pages. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 20:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Calling someone or something homophobic is an attack. And you didn't explain how the userbox addresses the key sentence above that I am calling your userbox divisive over. Justinm1978 (talk) 20:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Sidenote: Educate yourself a bit more about the BSA before making sweeping verdicts that are patently false. They've got a lot of policy problems, I agree, but they are not commercial (501(c)3 non-profit), and by that status they are specifically prohibited from being political (receiving federal subsidies and access to governmental facilities does not make an entity political), and they are not Christian-only by any means (pretty much so long as you profess a belief in a deity, you pass the religious test). As I said, they've got their problems and I wish they'd join the 21st century, but your argument here is incorrect. Justinm1978 (talk) 20:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Reverting vandalism
Take a look at this diff: . The reason I bring up the diff is that this is the revision you reverted to on mutualism. Please ensure you revert to good version. Thanks. Richard001 (talk) 02:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Take two seconds and do some friggin' research, the Jackson South Coast League team isn't gonna happen for '08 - it's listed on the South Coast League web site, as well as its wikipedia page. It's correct with the four teams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chicken Parm (talk • contribs) 04:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
The team is still considered part of the South Coast League and therefore remains in the template. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 05:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
IP?

Hi ASE, tough one. No other sources, eh? We do prefer reliable secondary sources to primary ones, as you know... The only possibility I can imagine is the use of this template, but I don't really recommend using personal interactions - and, as you say, interactions which can only be verified by those with OTRS access. ~ Riana ⁂14:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
