Idiots. Everybody knows that Ilmatar raised her knee so a bird could land on her. The bird then laid six eggs made of gold and one made of iron. As the bird incubated her eggs Ilmatar's knee grew warmer and warmer until finally she was burned by the heat and reacted by jerking her leg. This motion dislodged the eggs, which then fell and shattered in the waters. Land was formed from the lower part of one of the eggshells while sky formed from the top. The egg whites turned into the moon and stars, and the yolk became the sun.
Actually atheists don't (by their very nature) worry about the afterlife. That's like saying dog's are worried about books, because they don't read them.
That's not true. I'm a non-philatelist, and there are three very important stamps I am trying hard not to acquire to complete my non-existent stamp collection.
Atheism is holding a belief that the dragon doesn't exist in the garage which is different from simply not believing that one is in the garage.
Atheist: "I've just been in the garage. No dragon." Theist: "You don't understand... it's a magical invisible dragon. You can't see it, or touch it, or hear it. But it's there!" Atheist: "But if you can't see it, or touch it, or hear it, how do you know it's there?" Theist: "This ancient Japanese book Kojiki about a dragon proves it! You can't argue with this!" Atheist: "That doesn't 'prove' there's a dragon in the garage. It's just an old story written by people." Theist: "But the book! The book! You can't argue with the book! Checkmate, atheist!"
The point is, the Atheists are identical to the theists. 2 groups of people obsessed with the nature of the afterlife to the point that they identify their entire existence by it. Christian, Muslim, Atheist. It's all the same damn thing.
There's 3 points of view on this: Christian: I believe! It's a fact! Atheist: I don't believe! It's a fact! Normal Person: I don't know, don't care and don't think it's possible to prove a damned thing leave me alone... why do the two people above me have weird shit on their heads?
It seems to me that your 'Normal Person' is also an atheist, since he does not believe in a deity either.
In my mind, the true Athiests [sic] are the ones who don't believe in god and mock and attack anyone who says otherwise.
Perhaps "true atheists" are just people that just don't believe in a deity.
Perhaps the atheists you don't like who "attack anyone who says otherwise" would, if they were religious, would be simply called 'missionaries' or 'evangelical?'
The hotel is not denying that this guy had bedbugs in his room on the night of his stay. Apparently the hotel's justification for suing comes down to them believing that only his room was infested, and that this was an isolated incident.
However, he never claimed that the entire hotel chain was infested. He only stated in his review that his room was infested.
I don't know how it works in Canada; most of the time in the US, truth is an affirmative defense to libel or slander.
"Something sizzled to the right of him. A commercial, made by Theodorus Nitz, the worst house of all, had attached itself to his car.
"Get off," he warned it. But the commercial, well-adhered, began to crawl, buffeted by the wind, toward the door and the entrance crack. It would soon have squeezed in and would be haranguing him in the cranky, garbagey fashion of the Nitz advertisements.
He could, as it came through the crack, kill it. It was alive, terribly mortal: the ad agencies, like nature, squandered hordes of them.
The commercial, flysized, began to buzz out its message as soon as it managed to force entry. "Say! Haven't you sometimes said to yourself, I'll bet other people in restaurants can see me! And you're puzzled as to what to do about this serious, baffling problem of being conspicuous, especially-"
Do you get free healthcare from the US government? Does the US government fund your local court system, law enforcement, child welfare, disaster relief, and road building, while also letting you declare yourself a member of a sovereign nation? Does the US government free you from restrictive state and local laws governing things such as casino placement in areas where non-tribal citizens are prohibited from doing so?
Did the US government steal 3.79 million square miles of my land and systematically kill multiple generations of my family?
and why isn't there an Usher arranging for an EMT??
I'm sorry. I had no idea you were still able to attend movie theaters from the 1940's
The only ushers at my multiplexes come around after the screening to sweep up the popcorn, cups and condoms. You would be long dead waiting for them to save you from a MI.
In the case of a MI, I don't want to get the attention of a 17 year old working part-time at the multiplex, who will then need to leave the multiplex to make a call on his cel phone to "arrange for an EMT", I want an RA moving in my direction as soon as possible.
Here's how you handle it: forget about jamming and Faraday cages; If someone is talking on their phone, have the (apparently omnipresent) usher throw their ass out.
Unless of course, you were referring to 'Usher', who will be appearing in Willemstad, Netherlands Antilles, on the 31st.
Sitting in a movie theater jamming cell phone service to keep folks from getting calls during your movie may sound like a good idea, but the problem is you just cannot know how far your jamming signal is going.
Great point - but forget about range. How do you know that 'annoying' guy talking into his cell phone right behind you in the theater isn't saying, "Hello? 911? I think I'm having a heart attack!"
The law doesn't say it needs to be readable by machines.
Yeah, except for, like, this part: V C Section 52017 6(c) A casing, shield, frame, border, product, or other device that obstructs or impairs the reading or recognition of a license plate by an electronic device operated by state or local law enforcement, an electronic device operated in connection with a toll road, high-occupancy toll lane, toll bridge, or other toll facility, or a remote emission sensing device, as specified in Sections 44081 and 44081.6 of the Health and Safety Code, shall not be installed on, or affixed to, a vehicle.

...If other people get special treatment or advantages because of their beliefs, why cant he?
Speaking of that: I'm atheist, where's my tax break?
Idiots.

It's pretty obvious if you think about it.
...the primarty [sic] atheistic religions of the 20th century - Soviet communism and American capitalism...
Yeah... you do know that neither "Soviet communism" or "American capitalism" are "religions" right..?
You do know that 'atheism' is, by definition, non-religious..?
Well, thanks for reading. I'm going to make myself a cup of atheistic coffee and put some clothes in my atheistic washing machine now.

Dude, hempfest was last week!
Dude... Hempfest is next year.
Dude... Hempfest is ALL YEAR ROUND!
(Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough...)
True, but I'm getting a head start on the 2014 (August 15-17, always the third weekend in August) Hempfest... ;)
You do know that by Aug 2014 no one will be attending the festival in person. They'll be strapping on Oculus III's and attending in VR.

Trying to sell something that can be got for free is unlikely to be highly profitable.
Tanning Salons?
Inconceivable!
You keep using "you wont rid yourselfs of me."
I do not think it means what you think it means.
Thousands of wives following their husbands on nights out with "the boys."
