Your quote may be correct but it is also correct for the person your replying to.
When he is saying "by me", he doesn't mean you have to follow and praise Jesus or your going to Hell. He is referring to his actions and how you deal with other people and your life. Not through proselytizing and idolization of him.
See that's the problem with a lot of these people is they take the Bible literally. Well where it suits them it seems otherwise they would all be blind because of Matthew 18:9.
As for teaching religion in schools. I personally think it is a good idea. However it should not relegated to one religion. Secondary School in Ireland for example (where I went, wouldn't class myself as Catholic anymore though) despite being a Catholic school the religion classes they would bring in Muslim scholars, Rabbis, Buddists, etc. You would get to Q&A them on various parts of their religions. In return they weren't allow try get converts. You were basically shown that everyone more or less worshiped the same God, all be it differently.
That fact is if your religious, that's good for you. Forcing people to try and believe what you believe is the wrong way of going about it. If your religion is the correct one and the person is a good person they will equate their actions to your religion. While not everyone will get down and praise [insert deity], there are many people who follow their actions (even if they don't believe) and at the end of the day that is what really matters.
I had something similar happen in COH. For some unknown reason my TOS came down garbled and could still agree to them. I log a call on it but took 3 months for it to be fixed and never replied to me. In such instances I would probably not be held accountable in game of my actions.
I'm reminded of the Simpsons where the marketing woman said she wouldn't be happy until she saw some face stomping as everyone tried to buy Funzo.
Maybe I'm getting old but I can quite happly wait until supplys are up to get it at a reasonable price.
Of the two machines even though the PS3 has the better graphics it offers up nothing new in regards to gameplay. The Wii on the other hand looks like it could be interesting to play. I can (imho) see the Wii of a more party console where as the PS3 is more for solo players (at home I mean).
Actually in Ultima Online we used to call that FHS (False Hero Syndrome).
Despite what people believe they are not the hero of the world when they enter it. They just think they are.
So in UO for example before they made a non-PvP world a lot of players used to think "I am the great hero....", and then when they got smacked into a bloody pulp by another player who then ripped thier skull from their body, stole all their items they couldn't handle it.
Most would just leave, some would complain to GMs. Forcing support to hand hold rather then people taking care of the actions themselves.
FHS exists in other games, especially where PvP is involved and is probably the number 1 killer of characters.
> Oh and the court did found those 4 "little details" proven.
Do you have a link to that. As I can see he has only been charged with them. They have not been proven in a court of law. Also they only did that 3 years after the fact because the case was going to go to the Supreme Court and if they ruled it unconstitutional then it would of screwed up all the other people they have renditioned.
> The judicial argument is that, IN SPITE of these established facts, his treatment was unlawful. > Court concluded it was not. What exactly is wrong ?
Nothing wrong at all. Those countries quoted earlier have similar laws making detention and torture without being charged perfectly legal too.
> He is a terrorist.
Until he is tried and convicted in a court of law no he isn't. Having one law for yourself and another for *terrorists* makes you no better then the terrorists or states quoted earlier.
> Do you have any idea what that word means ?
I have lived in Ireland and England during the worst times of the troubles between the two countries. Do I know what it means? Yes I do. For me and family/friends I know it means having to be taken out school in England for fear of being beaten by children/adults every time the IRA set off a bomb. It means being segregated every time you took a flight or a boat. It means being treated like a criminal every time you entered a pub in England. It means having a rifle pointed point blank range at your face while customs check your car or being detained for over an hour being asked endless stupid questions and then getting an armed police escort to a plane yet.
For others it means being picked up off the street and thrown into a camp where you are tortured for months on end because you may have a similar sounding name as a terrorist or just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or due to a clerical error on the pickup warrant. It means not being able to get work because people denote your race/religion to mean terrorist.
All that did was escalate terrorism in Ireland/England.
So I know full well what the word means. Do I agree with terrorism? Fuck no. However throwing laws out the windows or implementing laws of torture and denying rights to people to protect yourself is folly in the extreme and will only bite yous in the ass years from now.
And unless your willing to experience such laws enacted on yourself you have no right to claim that they are good or bad.
He was in Saudi Arabia at the time. He is a US citizen.
> that he is guilty of at least > conspiring to sponsoring terrorism
Three years after the original detention. Of course there are numerous people who have been detained and tortured who have spent years only to be released innocent and without any charge. Generally its "Innocent until proven guilty".
Also he has only been charged at this point. There is still no conviction as of yet.
> In fact, he's fighting to take it from you.
The US has already just implemented laws that takes Haebus Corpus from US and non-US people.
Anyway the point of my original comment is to point out that the US is no better then some of the other countries. The only difference it is keeps it from it's citizens what it is up to.
José Padilla. US Citizen declared as Enemy combatant and held for three years without ever being charged of any crime. During that time he was tortured.
A lawyer of the family demanded Haebus Corpus but was initially refused for bullshit reasons which were later shot down. After that he was able to formally charged and a judge has ruled he is given a fair trial.
Bush has since passed a law (with his torture bill) that now automatically denies the right of Haebus Corpus for anyone deemed as a terrorist. Its backdated too so the government can't be done for whats happened so far. So they won't make that mistake again.
All you need is be declared an enemy combatant, in which case you loose US citizenship (if you were an American) and they can make you disappear without having to bother with a trial or ever charging you of anything. Add to that they can torture you as much as they like as long as its not life threatening.
All nice and legal. Don't believe? Do some research. There is even a lot of examples for you.
> There is nothing wrong with MS charging more for their product.
It is possible to be a monopoly and still have competitors. Take a read of the DOJ vs MS findings of fact and you will see how Microsoft uses its pricing model to force pc makers to bundle the software.
OSX only works on Apple machines (unless you know what your doing to install it) and Linux, well how many major distributors of Linux on the Desktop can you find? Answer = None.
A monopoly is not good for capitalism and the complaints about MS have nothing to do with wanting some kind of socialistic system.

You can't rig an election from just one angle. For starters it makes it look too obvious.
On the other hand if you where say to pass a law that basically makes gerrymandering totally legal, find ways to stop people from voting that may vote against you and also use rigged electronic voting then your in with a chance.
> Way to spin it to work the/. hordes into a raging frenzy.
We are assuming that the people making the voting machines are idiots. Lets assume for a second they are not. In which case they should of built the machine such a thing happening.
One machine I have seen had large buttons to stop possible miscalibration along with random placement of candidates and had up to three times to verify who you picked before finally casting your vote.
But another poster has the right idea. If your going to rig the machine then do so to make it look like an accident. I mean you only have to look at 2000 election where Al Gore got -16,000 votes in one district and only showed up by a random audit.
