Obviously, the blasphemer would have to have been inside the camp, his blasphemy witnessed by those also inside the camp and the sentence carried out by the entire assembly.
The way you take verse 16 OUT OF CONTEXT
You mean out of the context of a world without telecommunication where the ONLY WAY to hear the blaspheme is to be in the damn camp?
You keep trying to spin "anyone" into "just hebrews", I'll go add you to my list of idiots.
those directives were aimed at fellow Hebrews. Terms such as "outside the camp" and "among you" show that clearly. This isn't advocating violence against people of other persuasions.
Leviticus 24:16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born
No one was ever charged for that, in fact, the strain of anthrax used in the mailings of 2001 was traced back to the U.S. military, sparking suspicions that this was a test performed by the U.S. military... much in keeping with past behaviour, such as giving a whole town some radioactive pills to see how the population would cope with that (see the Clinton apology over that cold-war era shenanigan).
Remember, muslims were blamed for the Oklahoma city bombing too, before it turned out to be a white supremacist.
I believe there is an exception to be made in the case of muslims. Violence is a tenet in their religion as reaction to many things. Hell, it is in their koran to kill blasphemers, and infidels. I don't know of any other religion in the world, that outright preaches violence as a direct approach to anything offensive.
Leviticus 20:27 " 'A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.' "
Leviticus 24:14 "Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him."
Leviticus 24:16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
Leviticus 24:23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the LORD commanded Moses.
'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.
Since that's never been observed (and I'm sure someone has looked at the stats, it's such an easy study), this can't be true. I suspect these so-called "scientists"
You go on and ASSUME something, and then you put "scientists" in quotes. Because, clearly, the master of assumptions is more of a scientist than these lab-coat wearing bozos!
Arabian Horses and Disaster Management, I don't see the link.

Car chases careening through L.A. mowing down pedestrians like wheat aren't just the stuff of action movies. They're actually a significant danger.
I was in traffic in downtown Montreal a few years back, during a car chase (bank roberry). The car the police was chasing actually cut right behind me to get onto the sidewalk, where it was indeed careening with people running out of the way until it got to the next corner, where there was a panhandler in the way.
The driver stopped to a screeching halt and yelled at the guy to get out of the way, but faced with an uncooperating hobo, he backed up a bit, went around the homeless drunk and resumed his high-speed escape.
This gizmo sounds pretty neat, but maybe the "mowing down pedestrian" problem isn't one that can be solved by technology.
who argued that video and computer games could not possibly rise to the level of an art form? If so, what does he care who directs a movie based on his game? That's quite an affectation on Kojima-san's part, isn't it?
1) Not so.
2) Never EVER again imply that Uwe Boll creates *art*, you! For shame!
Really, the things people say around here... Uwe Boll... an artist... crazy!
Because you can only sue people that actually did damage.
FTFA:
Patterson does not know if the device has damaged his hearing, said his attorney, Steve W. Berman, of Seattle. But that's beside the point of the lawsuit, which takes issue with the potential the iPod has to cause irreparable hearing loss, Berman said.
Knowing this, it puts the Pixar teasers into a new perspective. The sheer difficulty of trying to put together a teaser for a movie that's still 98% non-existent yet is not something I'd like to try...
They sortof end up doing shorts with whatever cast and models they have ready at the time. You'll notice that in the Incredibles trailer, he's not even wearing the right suit : )
Much like a real democracy, you might not like what you see, but you have to live with it.
And here I thought the point of democracy was just the opposite.

Toy Story 3 Scrapped
·
· Score: 3, Informative
franchised rehashed crap, ready for toy and videogame tie-ins from day 1
What? Toy Story, ready for toy tie-ins from day 1? Inconceivable!
To inject my opinion: Just look at the lengthy chase high-speed chase scene with the son in The Incredibles: it was shot from the vidoegame camera angle, I felt like I was watching someone play the game rather than a movie.
Er, that's not your opinion, that's a damn fact. The scene is shot with bits of video-game like camera angles.
My opinion: It was great! The kid's first super-speed chase felt like a videogame. He looked like he was taking it as seriously as a kid his age takes videogames too.
the films are remarkable bland plots
Ok, you ARE aware that these are KID'S movies, right? Us grownups can enjoy them, but the plots have to be suitable for preschoolers. Preschoolers are typically not terribly sofisticated, as might have noticed if you ever attempted to discuss international politics with any of them.
That is, of course, on the surface. If you take it more seriously, go read the ancient greek myth of Hercules, most notable his 12 superhuman chores, and then rewatch Incredibles. You might notice something (hint: Edna represents Athena).
I don't know about scrapping Toy Story 3. Personally I would watch another just for the laughs. The latest Cars previews just don't capture my interest.
Ah! There you are! I knew that there was SOMEONE somewhere like you. Disney had to be pandering to a real person...
But, aside from making fun of you for voicing the known fact that stories with familiar settings and characters are an easier sell than unknowns, I have to say that no Pixar preview has ever made me think that the movie was gonna be good... except maybe Nemo, 'cause I like prettie fishies.
But I have learned that they don't stick with what they were going for when they made the teasers, they adapt and fiddle and tweak in the production until they make a masterpeice that I can go see in confidence, since like you said, they have had quite a streak of great flicks.
reporting on things like new electricity grid connections, newly built schools, newly graduated classes of police officers, newly built bridges, new water pumping stations, the vast influx of new personal vehicles and merchants, etc. Don't confuse it with propoganda
And also, don't call a spade a spade.
P.S. The electricity, bridges, water, police, etc. Were purposefully destroyed by the U.S. military. Wanna bet they don't mention that in their its-not-propaganda-when-we-do-it?
I just can't believe this is the best use of funds. Something tells me that the orphans in Africa and child prostitutes in Cambodia are in greater need than any child is of a laptop.
Future headlines: "Cambodian child prostitute uses wireless laptop to contact police" and "Text messaging reunites orphan with parents in africa"
The man has little or indeed zero credibility in the fandom.
I really don't think this will be any better than any other on-line "save our show" petition, but I like to keep nagging Fox on their collossal mistake. They need to be reminded that here's money out there that could have been in their pockets.

Who did that? What are you basing this on?
No one was ever charged for that, in fact, the strain of anthrax used in the mailings of 2001 was traced back to the U.S. military, sparking suspicions that this was a test performed by the U.S. military... much in keeping with past behaviour, such as giving a whole town some radioactive pills to see how the population would cope with that (see the Clinton apology over that cold-war era shenanigan).

put up cartoons of Vishnu, you wouldn't see Hindus violently protesting.
Hinduism does not forbid images portraying Vishnu.

old writings than nobody takes literally any more
I often wonder about what's going on in the heads of people who take the True Word Of God with a grain of salt.
Either it's the One Truth, or it's not.

American news media should not unwittingly broadcast military propaganda.
They should broadcast propaganda when told to.
Not unwittingly designed for a different market.

So if bags of rice end up in the hands of warlords, what will happen to laptops (which have a high resale value?)
$100 is high? I guess the warlords will do what they with the food: give it to their troops before letting the civilians get any, if there's any left.
I guess the warlods want their troops to have brightly-collored, hand-cranked, radio-emitting laptops... for... some reason.
I just can't believe this is the best use of funds. Something tells me that the orphans in Africa and child prostitutes in Cambodia are in greater need than any child is of a laptop.
