  1. You sound like a Pats fan. Now I really want the Mavericks to win.
  2. That's not libertarianism. That's objectivism.
  3. I'm afraid I just blue myself.
  4. Not true. I should have said University. It is very damaging when you force your child to go to a Christian university. It should be their choice. When you send someone that doesn't actually want to go there, you got problems. So then what about Marquette University?
  5. I think it was. Also, The plot thickens~? Crono, what do you know about an AliceInChainsChick.
  6. Fraggle Rock > Transformers
  7. Remember how "We Built This City" was #1 on a list like this? Some guy down the hall was BLASTING it and...yeah it was something else.
  8. It's like your dad always said...
  9. Oh great, as if she hasn't been through enough, now it turns out she lives in TSM's primary stomping grounds. Be careful, poor girl.
  10. Because nobody's there. See also: Devils
  11. Let's not let this go seven.
  12. Cover your mouth, Polly!
  13. Crono's board is a tea party with dolls in the attic.
  14. CronoT's board is depressing.
  15. I'll give you that one. But CBS or ABC trying to point out bias would be just as bad.
  16. Well that's the thing. Pat Robertson represents a very minute subset of Protestant America. Most regular churchgoers think he's a loon. Compared to Pentecostals and Southern Baptists, the Methodists and Presbyterians are like social clubs. As for which denominations favor more interpretation and accept homosexuality, I'd say pretty much the vast majority of mainline Protestant churches. It's hard to gauge, because a lot of these churches are individual entities and not involved in a worldwide hierarchy like the Roman Catholic Church.
  17. I feel that if people want to opt out, they can, but they better know their shit when it comes to investing, because if they fuck up, they can't get bailed out. Maybe some sort of "are you more than a drooling idiot when it comes to handling money" test, but then that goes against the whole key issue of moving the government out of our lives. Also, I'm not more than a drooling idiot when it comes to handling money.
  18. While somewhat on that subject, I have a legit question: Does any media outlet mention that the whole idea involving SS accounts is optional? Just like the media isn't reporting the fact that the proposed changes to the Senate rules on filibusters is to only have a majority vote when it comes to judicial appointees, not changing the rules to do away with filibusters altogether. So it IS just optional?!? God damn fucking media lied.
  19. Oh god, that's a hoot. Thanks, I needed it. Fox monitoring the subtle political implications of the media is like the fox (go figure) watching the chickencoop. Would it be any less humorous on any other network? I think not.
  20. No it wouldn't. People like having things. I can't put a positive spin on government control of agriculture and industry, but I guess that's what makes you special.
  21. Most? You named two, and the Mennonites compose a FRACTION of Protestantism, at least in contemporary North America. Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Lutherans, all considerably bigger denominations, tend to be open-minded when it comes to interpreting Scripture, as well as not having the same rigid church doctrine of celibate male priests. I mean, Catholics are the ones who believe that the wine is literally the blood of Christ. As for accepting evolution, that was actually a pretty huge deal for the pope to admit it, I think, just as with the sun being the center of the universe. Progressive Catholics!
  22. It takes a comparison to Islam to call Catholicism a progressive denomination. I love it.
  23. SHIT how can I forget George Duke. He's up there too but I really love Jean-Luc Ponty & Sugar Cane Harris on violins.
