Except for the people who can't take the vaccines, for whatever reason (allergies, etc). But screw them , right? Or the fact that vaccines are not 100%, but tough luck for them. So feel free to go around infecting people like a little happy Typhoid Mary, because damn you're a free person, not a slave, and don't give a damn about anyone besides yourself.
"Heat 4 in the 200m women's qualifier is brought to you by Degree Antiperspirant. Works so good it makes you FAST!" You know that this is coming. "Heat 5 in the 200m women's qualifier is brought to you by Vagisil. So clean it makes you FAST!" And we will all want to kill ourselves. "Heat 6 in the 200m women's qualifier is brought to you by Tampax. So dry is makes you FAST!" And then instead we shoot the advertisers. And lawyers, just to be safe.
"Angry Birds only cost me $0.99, why does a datacenter cost $20 million?" "What do you mean we need computers, mine works fine!" (coming from the guy who gets a new one every 3 months) "It's not like we really can get hacked, right? We have firedoors in the building." "It's 90% complete? We can fix it later, right?" "You don't make any money for the company, you just spend it on stuff. You're just red ink." "I want a cloud." "What do you mean it costs money? It's just out there, right?" "What do you mean buying Oracle is a bad idea? Synergy!"
That blows out the wireless towers. Or jamming. I know everyone loves wireless connectivity, but I'm more of a throwback to security 1st, convenience 2nd. That was kind of the entire reason DARPA buried hardline connections all those years ago.
Did you see the pic on that page? A bunch of middle age white guys washing your car? Ppphhhhhhh! Bring in some bikini-clad cheerleaders to do the washin' and I'm in! For smart guys, they're not thinking very smart.
Gooble gooble gooble. I love Cookie Monster. He taught me the best places to hide my cookies as a kid...Huh, what's that? Wrong type of cookies? Oh....
Ghostery started tipping me off to how much stuff I was missing. I'm in the process of whitelisting sites, which is a pain with all the underlying stuff lying around.
Never read the Bible (well, besides some parts). I'm a Christian in the loosest sense of the word, hence why I say I'm not tied to any organized group.
Have we reached the limits of absurdity here? You make money, but you didn't monetize (would a f'n stupid word) because you didn't maximize your potential by barfing it up to every interested party? Wow. I'm off to find a cave.
Um, why? I specifically said it is what I believe. I don't care if you believe in it. I was not trying to defend it or prove it. You just did exactly what I said what would happen- I espoused a PERSONAL belief and was attacked on it. What was I trying to prove, I can think for myself? That you can't read a simple posting? Wait, I just proved the previous 2.
If you were trying to troll, that was pretty sad. If you were trying to for an argument, that was worse. Especially with a 100K ID#.
Yeah, AC, somehow I thought/. would be a cut above par over the internet. Sadly, it used to be more info, less flame. And even the flaming was better. The goatse poster and the machinations he went through just to fool the filters to post his ASCII pic was nearly epic. Good times, good times.
The only difference is that I believe in the christian premise that there is something after we die. I know there is no scientific basis for this, I don't believe in psychics and near-death experience stories or any of that. I just believe when I die I will go somewhere else, rather than just 'poof' and done. I believe in science like everyone here does, is open to all others' beliefs, believes in the equality of everyone. No (non)intelligent design, yes dinosaurs were real, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is awesome, that kind of thing. I don't go about my day thinking "How will this affect me after I die?" I die, I go somewhere, what I do today doesn't affect that. I can't really explain it better than that. Hope that helped.
I do see your point, which is why I never you religion in any argument. Because my religion has nothing to do with any argument I may have. Like I said, the only thing I believe in is that I will go somewhere else when I die. No score card to get there, I just go somewhere.
As for the reason I dropped into the conversation, it was brought up. I feel I have no need to explain at that point why I did drop in. If atheism was being discussed, and you left a comment, would that not be a provocation to those who held a religious different from yours? I am also not here to argue, you have stated yourself well and without bias.
Good point there j-b. The traditional church always said 'bring the truth,' hence all the missions going back to, what, the 1400s? I don't think it does that anymore, but I'm not really into the whole organized thing, so I don't know. If someone asked me about it, I'd probably tell them to go see a priest, but if they wanted to talk to me (for whatever reason), I'd tell them what I believe which the huge sign saying 'this is not canon, this is just me' over my head. I believe in it, but I could be totally wrong. If it was easy, this thread would be about 40 comments shorter, lol.
Well, as you can see right here, I'm talking about it. This is actually beyond my comfort zone, as I described in my original post. But for day-to-day life, it doesn't come up much, except with one inlaw who is Baptist. We have some small talk about the differences, which really isn't much. Like I said, I have no compunction to push my belief on anyone, but I'll talk about it if asked. And by the way just so you know, I have nothing against gay folk. I got my thing, you got your thing, I'd sit down and down a beer with you no problem.
Hey, dope, who says I don't? You think I'm all cool with anti-woman behavior just because I did not specifically mention it? What other parts to I have to fucking specifically point out to you? I don't hate black people, Muslims are OK, women should have a choice about abortions, dinosaurs were real, evolution happens, slavery is bad, smoking causes cancer, did I miss anything?
Yep, it only took 2 posts to prove my point. I just wrote that everything in the real world I treat as real. There is only one thing that separates me from you (well, assuming we have the same socio-political views)- once I die I think I'm going somewhere else. That's it. Nothing about what I do in life has to do with that, I'm not grading myself on what I do in life, but you'll never understand that, will you? You can't believe that I believe in science, the equality of all men and women, that I think that people who base their lives off of religion are idiots, all because I believe in one little thing different from you that will never effect anyone else in real life just because it irks you.
Critical thinking? Perhaps reading my original post would be the fist step FOR YOU to understand the concept.

I've just experienced my first exposure to the personal toilet bill of rights rant. Today is going to be a good day! Viva le toilette!

My apologies. I'm going to smack my head into a wall for a while until I can forget I read that.

If you don't know, don't Google it.
How nice for you.
Never said I was a good Christian. Just that I am one. I also play basketball, yet somehow LeBron keeps dunking on me.

Sorry hack, I shouldn't have gone off on you like that. My apologies. No excuses, just flipped my lid for no reason.

Thanks Truedat. Fun part- I don't even belong to any church, or any organized religion. I just believe in the Christian storyline. Sigh.
