Ah, the person who looks for an excuse to sat they are Buddhist, and the inevitable followup by people making comment that show they have no idea what Buddhism actually is.
And the response is : "No, it's a scientific theory.; which means it's been tested enough to be a fact." With luck, you can start the conversation down what a scientific theory is.
"I disagree with the theory of evolution, and I am a creationist
You are stupid. worse, intentional ignorant. You cast aside all provable facts for unproven statement in an allegory. You can not be trusted to make rational decisions and should be shunned.
"Of course some things do adapt" Ah, so you have no real clue what evolution is then? Why to underscore his point.
"the thing about it is if you knew some of the things I survived, you would definitely question it." that;s a nice ego centric bias you got going there.
" if they are sick of taxes they should give caeser all of his gold back and just share the food." wrong, wrong wrong wrong.
You should probably study some more. The question was SPECIFICALLY about the poll tax. And, yes, you should pay the tax, but you should also live you life in accordance to God.
Any who has 'studied' the bible should understand the context of the time it comes from.,. and learning some Hebrew won't hurt.
Great, you can quote mine from a book that has probable lies, and contradictions. Well done. What a coincidence, it aligns with your ignorant political beliefs. Who would have thought?
(Matthew 22:21)
Mathew 22 is NOT about taxes. It's about Doing what the civil government demands you do. I can't help but note he wasn't too upset about the man being killed for not wearing wedding garments.
Don't quote mine the Bible. Everything you claim, I can find the opposite. Jesus said he was there to enforce the old ways, so don't try and claim the old testament doesn't apply to Christians bullshit. You can't even begin to claim that until Christian at LEAST start using books that don't have the old testament included. While they are distributing the pile of nonsense, hate, and crap they can't claim it doesn't count. If they stopped, the STILL need to explain how it doesn't apply when Jesus said it did.
Interesting note: Jesus claimed to return during the lifetime of the apostles as well as the life time of Caiphas. Using Jesus own claims, one can disprove they he was anything but a popular scam artists. assuming he was an actual person and not a combination of different people; which is highly probable.
"then logically, any coercive threats from their god are irrelevent to you!" wrong.
While you made the distinction between the two, in practicality there is no distinction. They ARE the voice in their head. History has shown that when someones made up invisible being doesn't take the action they think their god should* take, they tend to suddenly hear there morning god tell them to do things. which include: Disturbing you in your home, Trying to trick your children into believing, Infect you school with there anti-science propaganda, Demand there belief be present in court and other government places block you form you freedom of travel, deny you jobs, Stop scientific inquiry, Lie about scientific facts, and sometimes they kill.
Atheism isn't a belief, so.. "d stupid believe the same as you" Doesn't apply.
All he is saying is that those people are preyed upon by people who have a non provable belief that happens to coincide with needing to ask for money.
" you are no different then the religious nutters you decry." No. when he makes up nonsense and forces everyone else to believe it, then he will be the same as the nutters. Right now, he is a person wanting people to be factually informed and educated and not being told to accept there fate because some moron in the sky has some sort of plan.
that said this storm wasn't going to be anything and were criticizing people getting prepared in the 'Sandy' story the other day? hmm? I expect you are apologizing and have learned your lesson~
define a lot? Cause I don't see it a lot, I've never read a report that would use the term 'a lot'.
And you are using 'Heat' in the most stupid way. Temperatures over a certain level will cause electronic to wear out faster, or even break. not 'heat is bad'. Stupid post.
"the temperature goes well beyond that in a big hurry when the chillers cut out." AND? alternative: SO?
If it's below 35 C outside, why wouldn't you just pump that air in(through filters)
You situation is most likely in room that are sealed to keep cool air in, so it traps the heat in. If the systems can run at 35 C, you would have windows. Worse case, open some windows and put a fan in. Computer can run a lot hotter then they could 3 decades ago.
It takes people to get there government to create a regulation. That's how it stopped with phone calls in the US. SO when you are called on a land line, YOU don't get long distance charges.

How...predictable.
And if that person is on the school board? do we leave all the kids to that bastards poor fate?

Be definition, belief in religion is the denial of rational thought.
Another person using the word 'entropy' to show off their ignorance, how quaint.
"Entropy works with information "
not really,. but you probably wouldn't understand why, so lets move on to your larger mistaken point.
Entropy ONLY applies to closed systems. Do you understand that?
"It *IS* a philosophy."
no, it isn't. I presume the rest of you 'point' is based on the wrong statement and not bother.
You sound like an idiot when you say that, just so you know.
" Certainly "atheisms" are belief systems."
wrong. Again. Atheist is the word you use for someone who has NO BELIEFS in a God, or religious entity.
Not believe in something isn't a belief.
It's like saying the Off button on your TV is a channel.
"1) Just because SOME religions use coercion or violence, does not mean all do. " name ONE that doesn't
"such acts are incredibly rare and not even remotely representative."
No, they aren't.
"Would your position make using coercion to inhibit religion justifiable?"
Depends.
"The problem is that "quality of life" includes the right to worship.
not the right to shove your religion into other peoples lives.
" if they are sick of taxes they should give caeser all of his gold back and just share the food."
wrong, wrong wrong wrong.

Any who has 'studied' the bible should understand the context of the time it comes from.,. and learning some Hebrew won't hurt.
But it's often used to incite others.

Doesn't apply.

hydro didn't power it, the energy in the form of 'heat' powered it.
You're statement would be like saying Gas and roads power cars.
that said this storm wasn't going to be anything and were criticizing people getting prepared in the 'Sandy' story the other day? hmm? I expect you are apologizing and have learned your lesson~
"That storm surge will only be magnified by the full moon this weekend to make it a "dangerous period," Uccellini said."
Full moon? what a fucktard. Someone should tell him that when its 1/4 moon, or a half moon, the whole fucking moon is STILL THERE.
I like that you assume corporation run everything perfectly and never make a mistake, or continue to dodo something based on an assumption.
It would be adorable if it wasn't so damn stupid.

Thanks, but we want a solution that actual solves the problem.
What? let me know when they fit in the ear and are difficult to see.
Not even comparable. Just a stupid post you underline you ignorance about government subsidies and medicare.
Both of which have driven down health care costs.
It takes people to get there government to create a regulation. That's how it stopped with phone calls in the US. SO when you are called on a land line, YOU don't get long distance charges.
It's called preview, use it.
