especially when it comes to religion (prayer in schools, prayer at government functions, the flagrant display of religious iconography in public buildings, denial of other religions equal access for displays, etc), the right for one to decide how to best manage body medically, and who one is allowed to have sex with, contraception, and who one is allowed to marry. Those issues hit me a lot closer to home than firearms ownership/carry, and how I'm allowed to access content vis-a-vis music and movies on the Internet.
Not trying to point the finger at you specifically or put words in your mouth, but as a general rule the people in this country have their priorities so fucked up it enrages me sometimes. These two policies recently exercised and or implemented under the demopublican rule can potentially affect any or every individual in the country, whereas the inability for gays to marry affect what, 10% of the population at most? And let's be honest, who really gives a rosy red rats ass if the supreme court has the 10 commandments on it or if some veteran memorial has a cross? FFS.
That brings up the one huge mistake that the devs made with Rift, which I hope Bioware didn't repeat in this game. And that's fast-tracking the leveling system.
I'm assuming your take on this was from before planar attunement, as since Rift implemented planar attunement, I'm pretty sure there is no one in the game who has yet achieved max level.
Dude, you become so incredulous that it becomes very apparent you don't even know what you are talking about.
By what measurement or historical publication do you come to the conclusion that the supposed ark weighed 8100 tons?
And from where did you draw your conclusion that he had 7 days to do this all?
If I had one of your supposed bullshit detectors, I can't imagine that it could keep quiet while your hands were on the keyboard.
People whose blood pressure spike through the roof and fly off the handle at the mention of a bible (or a koran for that matter) strike me as much more amusing (dare I say foolish?) than people who genuinely believe the literal accounts of their respective religious texts.
If your goal is to get a religious individual to reassess what he believes given facts, maybe you should present facts and let them come to their own conclusions.
If your goal is simply to make yourself sound absurd, keep on keeping on.
ah, well, if a hyperbolic and inflammatory statement by someone who can't be bothered to see the parent simply quoted a line out of a book without passing his own opinion of said text insinuates that the text referred to is wrong based simply on the assertion of when it was written and the occupation of those who wrote it, then everyone is clearly wasting their time even looking to that text for any possible insight into anything having to do with those times. You should let everyone know, oh wait, I guess you already did...
My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.
I've used this one before myself, but the problem is, according to biblical timelines, ~120 years after this statement, ~everyone died in the flood. Therefor, when he made the statement, their days were numbered at 120 years because 120 years later he killed them all. Could be coincidence, or could be that the reference was not about maximum lifespan of all humans, just maximum lifespan of those living at that time. According to biblical timelines, Noah lived to 950.
Do you pull money out of your ATM machine? And does it require you to enter your PIN number? I would assume so, given your views on reading the TFA....
Read here and here for why DUI checkpoints are legal. They do not have to publish anything anywhere.
"...by a 6-3 decision in Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz (1990), the United States Supreme Court found properly conducted sobriety checkpoints to be constitutional. While acknowledging that such checkpoints infringed on a constitutional right, Chief Justice Rehnquist argued the state interest in reducing drunk driving outweighed this minor infringement."
I've long said it, the constitution means nothing except what the SCOTUS says it means. If they decided tomorrow that the 1st amendment doesn't protect free speech, then it doesn't. They are the sole arbiters of what it means.
Nice. Pizza shop I used to work at used conveyor belt ovens at 450 I believe, but longer than 90 seconds. Stone ovens are apparantly different. I recant.

How about the Assassination of American citizens without a trial for the fifth amendment violation, or Indefinite detention of US citizens without being charged with a crime for your 5th and 6th amendment violations? Does the federal government assuming the ability to detain you indefinitely without charging you with a crime, or even to assassinate you, hit you closer to home than denial of marriage to a class of people, or refusal to take down some hundred year old religious display?

The big yellow one is the sun!
And voting for a third party candidate is like throwing your vote away.
I believe that is a fallacy, otherwise anytime you vote for any candidate that doesn't win, you are just throwing your vote away,
Military service != terms as a senator
How many terms did Washington serve? Grant? T. Roosevelt?

*Your* parent poster was using hyperbole. And *you* know it.
True, Just saying, like so many other sentences in that text, it could be taken more than one way.

You are gay.
1 point for you if you can tell if I'm calling you a homosexual, or if I'm calling you happy.
5 bonus points if you can see the analogy of how this scenario plays against your quoted but often possibly misunderstood citation.
You apparently don't know what fucking irrational is...
A number like sqrt(2)
If you are sqrting after fucking, I would call it abnormal, but not irrational...
I haven't chuckled that well on /. in a while. Thank you, sir, and your u/n for the double wordplay.

If you have your pizza oven at 300c you must like a burnt ass pizza. Thats over 570F, most pizzas are cooked between 350F and 450F.
fool me won't get fooled again?
Yeah, it was somewhere in Leviticus, wasn't it?
