Title: Urgent help needed!!! (And possibly free cards to win)
Post by: Josh on June 19, 2011, 12:36:28 AM
Ok, my brother Nate is 25 and is in the finals of Wooster Idol, a local singing competition.  At this point, all the final songs have been sung, and all that is left to do is vote by calling 330-287-0410.  You can hang up as soon as you hear his voice saying "Hey this is Nate Hartzler..."  The winner gets $2000!

Please spam this number over 9000 times over the next two days, as voting ends Monday at midnight!  There is no limit to how often you can call.  I've got it down to where I'm calling on my cell phone in less than 10 seconds each call.

To sweeten the deal, since all who participate will be helping someone out that they don't know, I've decided I will hold a drawing to give away some nice cards to any who help.  And I'll make it good cards too.  Just add your name to the thread and you are in the drawing.  No minimum number of people helping required - if one person helps, then they win by default.  And I'll go ahead and promise a Destruction of Nehushtan as a MINIMUM prize for helping. 

Thanks in advance!!!

Let me ask him if there is somewhere you can hear him.

EDIT:  There are no videos online - the sponsoring company, a local newspaper, won't allow videos of the participants online.

There's still time to spam the vote and get entered into a drawing for free cards, including a DoN!

I voted around 100 times by the online link, I feel like that's not anything compared to how much other people voted.

We used our God-given skills to assist a brother in promoting his.  Problem?

Sand against the bible? Maybe if you spent less time using your bible as a beach towel and more actually reading it you'd realize this is just fine. fhwqwgads that sucked, gimme some time I'll come but with a better troll of your trolling

He's not paying he's entering them in a contest 
He's offering an incentive to vote for someone specific instead of voting based on the logical criteria.
it happens all the time get off your high horse
Morality isn't graded on a curve.



That being said, I voted beings I have no moral objections to this.

...And how is this different from the norm?  God didn't believe in a democracy.  Look what happened when the Israelites voted for a king.  (Ironically enough)

Are you saying democracy is wrong? Lolwut?

Anyway, I think God also has some pretty strong feelings about the value of integrity

Can you give me an example where God uses democracy?

Can you give me an example where God would disprove of jmhartz's idea?

I'll take that as a yes

Can you give me an example where God would disprove of jmhartz's idea?

Post by: SomeKittens on June 22, 2011, 08:39:39 PM
So the answer to both of my questions would be no.  You'd have to be a far better troll to get me to discuss my ideas on democracy, and that verse is played loose and fast.  There's no context, no interpretation and no correlation with other verses.  I could use the same attitude to justify sleeping with a prostitute because Hosea did it.

(Also: Mod, could you move this segment of the discussion?  It's moved significantly from the OP)

I voted a couple hundred times... though I really do NOT want to win a card. What would I do with one redemption card. Can you make a deck with only one card?

I will destroy you all with my one card deck.

Fastest.  Deck.  Ever.

Wow.  That went downhill disappointingly fast. 

JSB, I don't have any problem with what you believe, but you should have kept your comments to PM.  There's no reason to post "Hey, you all are sinning, here's a Bible verse to prove it".  Unless you are being facetious.

On a much brighter note, my wife wrote all the names of those who voted on pieces of paper and I drew one at random.  Congratulations to KoalaKingofFortressAlstad, you are the winner of a Destruction of Nehushtan!  Please PM me your address and I'll send it out.

A big thanks to all who voted!  I'll let you know if Nate ends up winning.

Oh, and SomeKittens, you raise a good point.  You and lp670sv who wrote programs to spamvote deserve special recognition.  PM me a list of cards you want and your address and I'll see if I can accommodate a few of them.  Same goes to you lp670sv.  I have a lot of extra Warriors cards btw.
