If I have 300 killing machines guarding my borders, are you going to send your troops in destroy them, or your own robots designed to take out your opponent's defenses?
But knowing that your enemy is going to try to destroy your defenses with robots, are you going to build more robots to fend off the robots, or just send out your army?
It's more like saying that burglary is caused by keeping a million dollars behind unlocked doors, and then telling that to the guy on the corner selling gold watches, who then turns around and tells his thief friends that 31% of people keep a million dollars behind unlocked doors in their houses.
English is the most widely spoken language in the world.
Calling English brain dead, like calling most things brain dead, only shows that it is you who is brain dead. If you understand English, you will see that it's grammar and vocabulary follow their own set of rules. Saying English makes no sense is what sixth graders do when they fail their spelling tests.
If you want to learn the rules behind English, instead of simply memorizing a bunch of "exceptions," try learning German, French, Latin, Ancient Greek, and Old English. That should clear some things up for you.
I would attribute Americans screwing up American English so much to the fact that most American's first language is American English. Children learn their language first by ear, they are not taught how to write it. It's easier to make mistakes when you are essentially saying words in your head, writing them down, and looking at them to make sure they look like words in your lanuguage than to compose prose in a slightly (or very) foreign language.
If God is truly omniscient, then he knows everything that has happened and will happen. Therefore his knowledge covers an infinite timespan. If God created the universe perfect and at some point in the future it will return to his perfection, then no matter the span of time that it deviates from perfection, to God it is no more than a singularity.
That is, if you know anything about Calculus, the limit as t approaches inifinity of e/t equals zero, where e is the time that the universe is under evil influence and t is the life span of the universe.
If you argue that the universe is growing and shrinking, winding time backward and forward, then the universe is merely oscillating between perfection and imperfection.
To think that the world today would carry any significance to anything omniscient only exemplifies the needs out of which religion was created by man.
Look up Argumentum ad Ignoranitam.
Look up other logical fallacies too, not only because they are interesting, but because they will also help you solidify your beliefs.
Actually, the word octopus derives from the Greek oktopous, -odos (unicode: o)kta/pous), so the plural is octopodes. Many of the words that stem from octopus have endings indicative of a Latin root in English, due to the misconception that it comes from the Latin octopus, -i.

What do you mean?!? Poop is always the funniest thing ever..... ...When you're ten.
I always assumed "different" was a predicate adjective modifying the implied subject of the imperative "Think."
It's like saying, "I left the store happy," or, more simply and as an imperative, "leave happy."
