      @oracle Wouldn'tcha know my employer has blocked video sharing sites (and email), and I don't have my phone's USB chord on me to power it and use it as a mobile hotspot. They're strict on the students apparently, and we use their same connection.

              @rarity xD I doubt it will stop the more determined students honestly.

                @lulu the filter, plus the knowledge that God is frowning on them for breaking the rules, that will stop them

                  @rarity All of the students at this school are from out of the state and none of them share my faith, though most of their families are very conservative, and the school is liable to protect them from naughty things.

                    @lulu how can you know that none of them share your faith?

                        @lulu Not that it's that hard. We only have 17 max at any given time.

                        @lulu I know that I don't share everything with people in power in a school environment, but honestly I know quite a few Mormons, and as the joke goes "How do you know if someone is a Mormon? Don't worry, they'll tell you"

                          @rarity Aye. We tend to be open about who we are, as you've probably noticed.

                                @lulu I'm just being "open" about my opinions. From an outsiders perspective, there are two main groups of Mormons: Those who are like you, who are smug that they have it all figured out, and then there are those who wrestle with doubt in their faith and are shamed because they DON'T feel like they have it figured out

                            @lulu though usually it's the active ones who're most open.

      @oracle So are you on a mobile device?

      Monday, 10-Feb-14 09:56:40 UTC from web
    3. Pony Pony

      @oracle I gotcha. I suppose I should install a proxy manager for Chrome on my laptop to solve my problem, but effort.

    4. Pony Pony

      @oracle hm? Oh yeah, and I can't just use any proxy for email since they could swipe my password.. so that makes things tricky.

      @oracle I already have Tor, so I can use that I guess.

      @oracle Again, from an outsiders perspective, Mormons seem to take it to 11 is all. It's much more noticeable

      @oracle @rarity I'd add it's like that with atheists often as well.. and educated people of all types within their respective trades at least. http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/9.28-29?lang=eng#27

        @lulu I'm not reading that; and I never said that militant atheists weren't annoying either. Anyone who takes their beliefs and shoves them in other people's faces annoy me.

                  Done thinking now. I've decided @thelastgherkin is a jerk for calling me "a total asshole." Dude, why? I've never pressed my beliefs on you or anypony on RDN.

            @thelastgherkin people have rights; ideas, claims etc do not. There is no claim or opinion that is so important or objectively valuable as to deserve special status, protection or compensation for and from criticism or just honest scrutiny.

      @oracle They're not Mormon level, besides like radicals in the middle east for Islam, and Jerusalem for Jews. Although.,.. Those are the main grounds for those religions, same as Utah is for Mormons. Maybe that explains it, but it doesn't make it any less annoying

        @rarity Thanks for expressing your opinion I suppose. I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish. I'm of course already aware you dislike my comportment of myself with respect to my belifs.
