No wonder Christianity took off like it did, what with Jesus telling everyone, "Meh, that Old Testament stuff, don't worry about it so much.
That was Paul, who never even claimed to have met Jesus. He just had hallucinations. He didn't even believe Jesus ever lived on this Earth. Jesus said not one letter of one word of any of the old testament stuff would ever change. It's just typical Christians ignoring the parts of their god's word they don't like.
No, but like a unicorn fucking itself up its own ass with its own horn it both does not exist and would be a bloody mess.
A good conservative has a strong libertarianism streak that is moderated by historical experience and common sense.
No, by definition a conservative (good, bad or indifferent) is anti-liberal. Liberal in this context is best defined by we hold these truths to be self evident, that all people are created equal. "Conservative" means opposed to individual liberty and supporting the restoration of aristocracy and the power of the church. You know, the things that diametric opposition to defined America by?
"Conservative" as a political word only came about after Liberalism the child of the Enlightenment and the defining feature of America came about. A Libertarian by definition is a wholly owned tool of Koch industries who founded the party for their benefit using such tools.
A conservative recognizes that freedom is not just a means to an end, but a good in and of itself. LOL No. In modern usage, "conservative" means either socially conservative which is extremist Christian hatred based and governmentally funded oppression or fiscally conservative which means that any collective opposition to oppression should be violently shut down by tax dollars.
There is an argument to be made that weather forecasts could and should be privatized
No, not one that wouldn't be a lie or laughable. You'd have to pay back *all* of the investment that made it possible in order to take advantage of such at my expense after my expense which isn't feasible economically. Absent that, you're just another leech on the government tit.
Socialized cost, privatized profit. That is conservatism.
Just get the one damn vote you need to get that filibuster proof majority. It's sheer incompetence that the Democrats couldn't overcome the Republican filibuster. I agree with the original poster. They were given opportunity on a golden plate and they fucked it up.
So they "fucked up" by ending up following Republican policies? Yet they're the bad guys and the people whose policies they're following are the good guys.
Wow.
The stupid it hurts and the goggles zey do nothing.
Nothing changed from when Bush was president except that spending skyrocketed and energy production in America was subdued or stopped whenever possible.
So, apart from the fact that you're lying about spending skyrocketing when it was already a skyrocket in flight starting with Reagan what you're saying is that Obama has done little besides *continue* with *Republican* policies. You feel that it's great when Republicans push these policies yet it's "disturbing" and you throw around words like "kill" and "destroy" when current Democrats merely follow the road blazed by Republicans. After all of that you're just acting butthurt when people point out the hypocrisy that defines the current Republican party?
I sometimes wish I couldn't be surprised by this sort of cowardly nonsense any longer, but other times I think I'd be a better man if I'd slit my wrists if I ever could be.
As an independent, I can state with authority that the right has veered wildly toward batshit crazy in the last four years
Four years?!? 32 at the least, and that's ignoring Nixon's treason. Remember Reagan? The war on personal liberty? Selling crack to American school kids to buy weapons for Osama bin Laden? Bringing the extremist religious loonies out of the woodwork and telling them it's their right to impose religion on government when the exact opposite is one of if not the most defining design feature of this nation? Intentionally presenting babies with fetal alcohol syndrome as "crack babies" to demonize blacks and unwed mothers? Setting up terrorist death squad training camps whose product raped and murdered thousands including nuns? Reagonomics, the continuing pursuit of such delusional policies which is the cause of our current economic climate? The fact that that monster has been canonized by Republicans not in spite of but because of all of those diseased policies? Then the Bushes?!?!?
No, the Republicans have been absotively posilutely batshit insane for decades.
It's far more than racism that's wrong with those people.
I have no use for the Democrats either, but most of what's wrong with them today is they're doing nothing but implementing the Republican's policies since they've been bought by all the same people.
You can only borrow your way to temporary prosperity, and the cost is your children's poverty.
This is why I wish there was a hell for Reagan to burn in. That's what he sold everybody on, what we did and the result we're starting to live through. Economic cycles last longer than presidents.
is the stupidest made up bullshit I've ever heard. At 50 year intervals, the sample size is like 3 or something. That's well within the range of coincidence
Once is chance, twice is a coincidence, third time is enemy action.
Romans was Paul talking, not Jesus. Paul never met Jesus, he just had hallucinations.
Matthew 5:18:
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. That was Jesus talking.
Sorry, heretic, but it's clear as day that all of the old Hebrew laws still stand for Christians. It's just that none of them really believe the crap they claim to. They pick and choose a few things.
That, of course, ignores the fact that early Christians didn't even believe Jesus ever lived on this planet but in a spiritual plane.
Even that ignores the fact that it's al just a bunch of silly old fairy tales.
The makers of Doom? They'd probably just send them some barrels by mail.
I think Carmack would drive his suped up Ferrari over to their house, destroy their arguments in person. If at that point they were still disinclined to listen to reason, he'd launch them into space...on the outside of the rocket. And, if you think about it they'd better hope there were more than one guilty party. He's not going to strap one guy on one side of the rocket because that would throw off the balance. No, the solo asshole would find his own asshole perched right on the pointy top of the rocket at ignition and I'd imagine that might sting a bit.
I mean that's just a WAG. I don't know Carmack or anything.
But it is absurd to suggest Microsoft is abusing its monopoly position in the ARM device market.
But it's a simple point of fact to state that it is using a monopoly position in one area of a market to abuse another. Seriously, either think before posting or troll harder next time.
I tried Homebrew. It caused the machine to reboot every time I connected to the VPN at work using Cisco's AnyConnect. Really annoying since that's how I got libvirt installed which is the primary thing I need for my current development.
It's been a very long time since republican policies have really been given a fair test.
Republican policies have been followed to the letter since Reagan with the exclusion of Clinton. It is the complete and total failure of Republican policies which is the source of our current economic troubles. Allowing the rich to loot all of the value out of the economy *is* Republican policy. What a deeply ignorant fool you are.
You are insane. No, you are both ignorant and vulgar.
There is a continent called America and you are part of it, it is sometimes called Americas in English, but both forms are correct. The name "America" can refer to either US, North and South America individually or together. Any of these 4 uses is correct.
No, there does not exist upon this earth a continent called "America". There are two different continents called "North America" and "South America". This is neither new nor ambiguous. Collectively, the two continents can be referred to as "The Americas". The name "America" by itself refers to the country formally known as "The United States of America". These are different terms referring to different things. It is not true that the word "America" refers to four different things. Why would you make up something so stupid and ignorant?
I am pretty fine with the way you chose to call your country, you can choose to be called as you wish imo, but your saying that there is no continent with such name only shows how badly US education has become.
The fact that you think there are only six named continents when there are, in fact, seven shows how poor your education was. I have no idea where you're from, but rather than slag everyone born in your country, I'll just assume that you're one of the dumb ones from wherever that is.
You shouldn't need political will to enforce the law. It's the law, it's his job, he took an oath to faithfully execute the laws and he has broken that oath.
Of course, prior to the election he came out in support of unconstitutional warrantless wire tapping of Americans so, at least he was honest about the fact that he had no intention whatsoever of keeping his oath of office. That puts a healthy chunk of blame squarely on anybody who voted for any of the candidates in that election as they had all sworn to break the oath of office prior to taking it.
Removing guns from society leaves a society of vulnerable people to the criminals with guns. With all the talk of rights infringement by the NSA on this site, I thought people here would hate the idea of losing yet another inalienable right. Surprisingly they seem all to ready to hand those rights away. No wonder the government gets away with what they do. No one cares...
Yet it is almost without exception, those who rave about the need for firearms who are the most gung-ho in favor of government surveillance, wars of aggression, freedom destroying drug laws, government intrusion into the womb warrantless spying on Americans and such similar rabidly anti-freedom legislation.
Were these cowardly traitors to believe a word of their own bullshit, they would have murdered Reagan and the Bushes who were directly responsible for most of the push to fascism in this country, instead they call everyone who stands against totalitarian fascism terrorist sympathizers. Oh until a black man gets elected and continues lockstep with the right wing extremist attack on freedom and then pretend that they weren't the driving force behind it. The goal? To elect even greater extremists to do the same damn thing. So, please, save your deluded fascist propaganda.
For grocery stores, if you think shopping online is going to replace the local supermarket, you're insane and need psychiatric intervention. How are you going to buy ice cream online? Unless they do some really fast delivery, it'll be melted.
How far from your local grocery store is ice cream made that they sell? For that matter, how long do you camp out at the local grocery store waiting for it to arrive so you can speed it home and eat it all before it melts?
Efficiency has lead to increased productivity. Simultaneously greater percentages of the increasing rewards have been directed to the few on top. Those few can actually ignore economies of scale (to an extent) and afford themselves the same level of luxury with many fewer people for them to leech off of than a more equitable society would require. i think it's clear that the plan is flawed, ta. Wow, 92, a two digit user id. That's sweet.
Some are simply bacteriostatic...they don't kill the bacteria, they just keep them from reproducing.
So, you're saying that those vulgar bugs don't die quickly in a glorious assault on our immune systems, but they die old and alone with no one to love and no legacy to leave after them?
We need more antibiotics like these.
They have us outnumbered, and they have us outgunned...at least in mutational rate. I mean, do you remember when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
In light of this, I think it's time for a scorched earth campaign against them that will leave them in such horror that they turn away from screwing with us and develop their own space program just to get the hell away from us.

And contrary to AIPAC and other fascist organizations, you don't have to be anti-semitic to hate zionists.
Obviously assuming that they grow roughly the same over the next 3 years. Which people have been arguing Apple can't do for at least 5 years now
Not to argue any other points, but Apple has been going out of business for at least 20 years according to people arguing.
