Now now boys get back to your desks before I have to call your parents. Michael what did I tell you about eating glue? I'm not going to give you a sticker at the end of class if you keep it up.
Probably to ensure that known violent football hooligans do not get tickets? I seem to recall reading some time ago that some of these violent hooligans were flat out banned from traveling to, let alone attending football games because their primary intent is to get drunk and brawl with rivals. And by brawl I don't mean a couple of drunks engaging in fisticuffs but mass fighting on a scale that we in the U.S. would call a riot.
That's b/c if any fight gets larger than a few people here in the U.S. a gun will almost always become involved.
No its more like praising Microsoft for Vista after they came out with ME. It seems awesome at first before you realize its the same suckage just prettier.
I feel that if the TV series are actually going to be part of the real story of the book it is going to be a raped and destroyed vision of the books. There is no way they can capture the the full story if they have to limit themselves to a pg-13 rating. There are way too many parts that when described in the book had you stuck unable to put it down. Unfortunately a lot of those parts will become watered down to the point of unwatchability if they are made for regular TV. Just imagine the fight between Roland and his teacher Cort. Or how crummy the CGI will be when he looses his fingers. Hell I'll be surprised if they do Blane the Mono any justice at all. Believe me I am all for a series of movies (done like Harry Potter one/two movies per book) or a TV series (if it was on Showtime or HBO) but I think it being on NBC will just cut the legs right out from under it.
Yeah but that would require years of learning the system then of course there is the hardware incompatibility plus she would be built to be tinkered with not for fun so say goodbye to all the good games you could have played with her. plus there already is a way to get great eye candy on a woman its called plastic surgery.
I just started work as a nurses aide and this Old man named Mr. Benson used to be a pilot for ww2 He is old as dirt but strong as hell. Just today I was trying to get him to stand up so I could dress him and it took 3 of us to hold him up and this was with him half asleep never opening his eyes.
So is stocking the shelves at WalMart, and how often to you hear of those employees getting dragged to the woods and killed?
How does stocking the shelves at Walmart have anything to do with what we are talking about. Stop taking shit out your ass and write something that is on the subject.
Holier-than-thou? I was arguing in another thread how the world would be better off without religion and I believe in abortion. Maybe you live in a nice little suburb where all the hookers are $1000 a night escorts but I live in the real world where girls sell themselves not to make a lot of money but to make just enough money for that next hit of their drug of choice. Do you really think most girls hook just for the cash? Hell no most were forced into it or did to support there habit. What makes you think legalizing it is going to help the girls that do it for the drugs. Ever heard or a crackwhore? Its not something to just call your friend's mom its a real thing. I'm not talking about the Red Light District or the Bordellos out in Nevada I'm talking about the everyday real hookers the ones that get taken out to the woods or in a back alley. Legal or not do you really think the police would give a damn? Hell they don't give a shit about the homeless and there is nothing illegal about that. I'm sorry I don't see the world through your rose-colored glasses but when you could pay the girl in cash or drugs it doesn't matter how legal hooking is. Oh one more thing prostitution is a night job not a day job.
It's not minor at all. It's the equivalent of someone pissing on you. It shows a total lack of respect. It's like saying "you are nothing". In Eastern Europe I once pushed an old lady to the ground for cutting right in front of me. I have gotten in several fights over the years (in various countries) with people who stepped right in front of me while I was waiting in a long line. It almost never happens in the US or Canada though. If it did happen here and some guy engaged him (hopefully by slugging him hard in the face), I wouldn't be aghast. I would be cheering for the guy. Queue jumpers are no better than vermin and should be treated as such in any civilized society.
So pretty much your view of religion is that it brings
Peace, tolerance, acceptance, equality, taking good care of your family, critical thought, responsibility.
but
I'm not defending organized religions here. I'm very much against them. Hierarchical organizations are very easy to corrupt. Corrupt the top (which is easy to corrupt, because there's power there), and you've got the rest too
and according to this 2007 graph thats 51% of the population (only including Christians and Islams which I know are hierarchical though some of the other 32% probably have some sort of hierarchy as well) even if we cut that figure in half that's a quarter of the population that are members of a corrupt religion. That's over a billion people and we both no I am low balling here.
Scary people. Don't think for a moment that they represent any meaningful part of mainstream christianity. I completely fail to see how anyone could believe themselves to be christian and do what they do.
Yet it happens all the time justifying killing so its ok with your religion whether its fighting in a war (any war) or being a suicide bomber. Thou shall not kill (unless you join the army then its fine)
That a war is fought in the name of religion doesn't mean that that's what it's really about. Iraq was invaded in the name of WMDs, but nobody outside the US believed that one for a minute.
Your right people outside the US know its a religious war or a war for oil and since gas prices here are still over $2.50 a gallon guess which one is more likely of the two.
Not all. But most.
There fix that for you. Though religion has bought some good to the world it has brought much more harm than good. Religion was needed hundred and thousands of years ago to help explain what we couldn't understand and to bring people together to help one another but that time has past and civilization is far enough a long that religion has become a hindrance and is now holding us back from moving forward be it socially or scientifically.
When that is what has been taught for generations that is what it is about. Maybe it used to be about something better but it hasn't been that way for hundred of years.
No, they don't count because they're political, rather than religious. Religion was just an excuse. The people in power used religion to keep people in line, which makes heresy basically rebellion. The crusades weren't religious, but cultural. "Those people are different and getting closer! Let's go take their stuff!"
And how do you not think that organized religions do not have rules to keep people in line? Even if the people in power were corrupt its the religions they used to instill the fear they didn't get all the soldiers to fight and torture for them by saying it was for their culture they told them that it was for their religion and their god.
Which ones exactly are fighting for religion? It seems to me most are fighting for freedom or against cultural suppression. They feel put down, so they rise up.
I don't know maybe the thousands that are fighting for Sharia Law?
You mean the people who are insane murderers? I'd like to know what kind of religion inspires that kind of murder.
I'm not denying that. Many people are willing to die for what they believe in, rather than renounce that belief. Is that wrong of those people? Or is it wrong of the people who kill them? (You know, the ones in power who feel their power threatened by people who believe something they can't control?)
sure that's a nice way to look at it but I was more talking about the millions that died in wars in the name of religion.
That is what Christianity teaches. Or should be teaching. A lot of confused christians keep getting in the way.
Ghandi once said: "If Christians would really live according to the teachings of Christ, as found in the Bible, all of India would be Christian today." (I thought he said it would be irresistible, but this is what Google gave me.)
It's not the teachings that are wrong. It's the people.
You pretty much said it for me religions are not what they should be they are corrupt. Todays religions are nothing more than a political system trying to control people.
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
The problem with this verse is that its not taught this way. Its a nice sentiment but historically Christianity has taught people to fear change and to fear or hate people that are different than you. Love your neighbor (unless he is a queer.) Love God unconditionally (and never question him)

There is no pride in it and no shame in it. But there is a hell of a lot less property damage in it.
Umm didn't it take until the iphone OS 3 just for them to have a copy/paste function?

Plenty of people object to sleazy stock market practices. Does the term hedge fund mean anything to you?
considering i just paid a hundred bucks for a framed last peanuts comic i think i have to say. stupid people will pay money for anything.
Fixed that for you.
No its more like praising Microsoft for Vista after they came out with ME. It seems awesome at first before you realize its the same suckage just prettier.
Exactly even if they don't show the actual act itself it would go well beyond pg-13 to even just show the shadows and sounds.
YES that is the only answer.
I feel that if the TV series are actually going to be part of the real story of the book it is going to be a raped and destroyed vision of the books. There is no way they can capture the the full story if they have to limit themselves to a pg-13 rating.

I would have claimed to be high just to save face.
Marijuana providing funny stories of stupid things since 1960
Yeah but that would require years of learning the system then of course there is the hardware incompatibility plus she would be built to be tinkered with not for fun so say goodbye to all the good games you could have played with her. plus there already is a way to get great eye candy on a woman its called plastic surgery.
That's step 1
I just started work as a nurses aide and this Old man named Mr. Benson used to be a pilot for ww2 He is old as dirt but strong as hell. Just today I was trying to get him to stand up so I could dress him and it took 3 of us to hold him up and this was with him half asleep never opening his eyes.

I have not read any reports hat most fastfood workers get beaten or raped as a by product of their job.
Yes finally a way to make sure those damn CSI's can't find out I'm the killer.

Your a real mans man aren't you?
Peace, tolerance, acceptance, equality, taking good care of your family, critical thought, responsibility.

Hey he has a point if it wasn't for scientology we would have one of the best episodes of southpark ever. Give credit where credit is do.
