You don't know what's out there so you're filling in the blanks. Your logic is flawed and anyone who doesn't agree with you is 'ludicrous'. Who else does that sound like?
Your real data point is that you watch a lot of sci-fi.
Somehow, I think there's quite a difference between my being verbally hostile towards religion and religious people who burn others at the stake, interrupt funerals of gay soldiers, influence public environmental policy based on beliefs in the imminent End Times, call for jihad against nonbelievers and deny their children much-needed medical care because it goes against their interpretation of some ancient book.
You hate a huge group of people for the actions of a small group. You hate them for their ignorance and cherish your own ignorance. I don't really understand the rationale behind your pride, I'm sorry.
Sometimes the ungrateful attitude of the entitled whiners around here takes me aback, despite years of reading it.
Ungrateful attitude and entitled whiners? You do realize that when a social network goes a little ca-ca, everybody loses, right? Apologists like you that come out of the woodwork do a lot more harm than people sending Google the message that it's okay if they fuck up the implementation of a service that depends on personal information to work.
Explain how any of this is comparable to religion...
It's the nature of how we operate. We find something we're passionate about, we chase it. We don't know if it's right or wrong until we're done. it's disappointing to think about, but all these scientists we revere are only human.
Just because you can get a whole lot of people to go along with your batshit insane ideas doesn't mean that they aren't batshit insane
Not long ago, on another forum, somebody went on a rant that they hoped aliens would land here so we could finally shut those religious nuts up. That should put a few things into perspective.
Face it, we all have that defect in our brains that makes us believe in things we've never actually seen. You'll have to find another way to rant about a group of people that doesn't make you out to be a bigot.
Big deal. All they've been doing is maintaining the space station, it's not like we were on the verge of heading to Mars. Nothing's different except some NASA funds are freed up now.
If not divorce or infidelity in a marriage, then exactly what relationship were you talking about severing?
If somebody wants to break up with somebody else, they typically would like to have a solid factual reason why.
Here's what people want to avoid:
"I'm breaking off our relationship because you come home late every night, I think you're with somebody else!"
"Umm... I'm working overtime so I can pay the mortgage off sooner. See, here's my check that's way higher than normal. Well, I'm not guilty, but since you don't trust me it's over. Bye!"
I think my post is unclear because it's deceptively simple: Instincts aren't always correct.

You've taken on a trait that bothers you about a certain group of people and you are proud of it.
Because we all know that co.cc is a word that has a "proper" meaning.
So you admit, then, that 'cock' was a misreading of it.
Stop being an ass.
Take your own advice.
You mean they cried about how old it was then grew even more emo when it was dropped?
did anyone else read that phonetically ?
No, we were all taught to read properly.

And that's not true.
Yes it was, that's why the time was taken to find that it's true in the first place.
Agreed.
Have a good weekend, man.
His point was that this stuff was believed before it was proven to be true.

everyone should have the right to be insane (er, I mean, have a religion). age of the fantasy should not be relevant at all.
This is a tempting thought until we get into a conversation about Scientology. This is one of those times to remain consistent, folks.
I think the mod accidently hit Interesting instead of Funny.
Well, if they just covered that grate in the floor, Mike wouldn't have to carry him in.

Actually, if you really want it to get there, buy a starter pistol and pack it in the suitcase.
Don't try to commit suicide with it, though. It'll get you detention.
Yeah, what kind of idiots enjoy choice and variety in their lives?
The sort that see exploits in Open Source Software as proof of how great it is?
Something like this is bound to happen occasionally whether the TSA does the screening or someone else.
It happens less when you're separated from your electronic doodads for several minutes while you're shuffled into a separate line for the scanner.
The comet crashed, it's all Obama's fault! :D
Easily nitpicked sound-bites serve ads.
Instinct is even less compelling.
There, are we done nitpicking the point I wasn't making?

I wasn't talking about infidelity, crime, or divorce cases. Look at the question I was answering.
Would you need something like a house to put up for collateral if you wanted something like $50,000?
