    Texas Legislators vote to ban gay foster parents

    I disagree, I don't think that Christianity ever was what happened during the crusades, but there was a form of it that was distorted by the people in power. If one were to actually look at the Bible, the basis of Christianity, they would see that it did not condone the actions of the crusaders. Similarly, if one were to look through the Qu'ran, they would see that it doesn't condone the actions taking place by "Islam" today. You can't judge a religion by it's followers, but by it's foundation. Of course, if the Qu'ran *does* condone killing and murder and violence against infidels, then show me a quote and I will say that Islam is a death cult or whatever buzz term you were using.

    World Leaders: A bunch of lying douche bags?

    Don't make me pull out the quote where you were on the opposite side of this argument, bringing up people that you hated that you never met, I only remember because, well, it's the opposite of what you're saying now. Of course, they were mostly ruthless human beings that killed lots of people, but maybe RJ knows something about you that we don't

    Do you not recognize that anything can be twisted? The majority of Catholics at the time of the Crusades believed that they should have gone through with it, that "God" told them to do it and that they should have slaughtered all those people. Do you think that this is the main tenet of Catholicism?

    It's not anti-gay sentiment. It's just random people being evil. You can't blame homophobia. -=Mike ...Man, the justifications for the cult of Death work on EVERYTHING... Homophobia has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Islam does. There's the difference. Homophobia kills a shitload fewer people. So, it's actually less harmful than Islam. Wow. -=Mike This is ridiculously flawed logic, I hope you're just saying this to try to sound clever and you don't honestly believe this to be a legitimate way of thinking?

    We got Pope smoke...

    Can someone point me to a passage in the Qu'ran where it says to kill the infidels? It's a win-win situation for me, whether it's there or not, at least in terms of an argument. I'd like to know, at this point I don't think it is but everyone else tells me it is. So the burden of proof is on those who make that claim. Thanks in advance.

    Five Year Old girl punched her teacher

    Five Year Old girl punched her teacher

    There's a video for those who think that there might be more to the story, that way you don't have to worry about the shoddy reporting you're no doubt used to by now. I have to say that putting a kid in handcuffs is retarded, especially when they're as young as five. The police should not have even been there in my opinion. I don't buy the police doing it as to protect her from herself, because that sort of logic doesn't seem to fall in line with the rest of the story. I think the most obvious answer would have been to call the parents. The teachers couldn't handle her, so they brought in the POLICE to handle the situation. Dumb.

    Are the ones in that torrent all of them? Or are there way more? Please tell me there are more

    Frank Zappa is the only conservative to call the government a fascist theocracy that I can think of.

    The MMA QUADRUPLE shot~!

    I'm just disappointed that Dan gave up his arm like that. Hopefully Hendo goes back to the drawing board and figures his shit out, he shouldn't have been armbarred so easily like that. Four guys I looked forward to going far are out in the first round, Randleman, Rampage Vitor and Hendo. That fucking sucks, this second round is so devoid of anything interesting. Bah, I see that it might be because three of those four are American, while the other might as well be since he has been in the UFC for like eight years or whatever.

    What political speech(es) inspire you the most?

    First Speech as Prime Minister May 13, 1940 to House of Commons "We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, "come then, let us go forward together with our united strength." Just gives you an idea of what exactly was going on and the chaos of the times when he first became Prime Minister, and the immediate challenge presented to his people.

    That last snippet of the Orwell stuff, seemed to have sentences that don't relate to each other. They still make sense, but the first sentence and the rest of what he said don't really connect. I am probably missing something however. I really liked the other stuff though. Pick one from any of these: http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/....cfm?pageid=389 Churchill was the man.

    Non-Bias Attack: A gang of up to 30 black teens

    2. If the incident did indeed take place as it was described, then of course it was racially motivated. They were shouting MLK and black power and calling the girls crackers. How you could possibly say that's not racially motivated? You missed my point, I meant that I hear shit about this happening all the time, as in the gang violence and people being outnumbered and getting beat up. Of course, *those cases* are not racially motivated, and even though sometimes worse than what happened in this piece of racist propaganda, since it is not race-motivated it gets no play on the media and such.

    Wish vs. Prayer

    I heard the story long before NorthFork was released, if this is the same movie we're thinking of, which was in 2003. As for the rest, I can only say that people simply wish to nothing in times of distress. They don't know what to do, and they are completely NOT in control of the situation, so they just hope against hope that there is something out there. I'm sure if you asked them normally, they probably wouldn't wish for anything, but when someone you know was in a bad car accident, even if you're not religious you start hoping for something. That being said, I can't honestly speak for people that aren't a follower of some religion since I've never been a part of that crowd.

    Movies you like

    Pleasantville. Odds are lots of folks here like it but I don't know of many I know. Most of them because it pushes "immorality".

    Destiny Vs Fate

    From my experience, fate is something that is supposed to be meant to happen, but people use it when bad shit happens. Like "Broke up with my girl, guess it wasn't meant to be". Destiny is used when someone has a grand purpose to fulfill. For example, "It's my destiny to have the world's largest gangbang". I don't know if Houston thought that when she was a little girl, but she might have who knows.

    You're quick aren't you? This is one that can be solved with a simple thumbing through of a dictionary.

    Wish vs. Prayer

    But God answers prayer. That's what the Bible says at least. Can't speak for non-Christian religions. How that ties in with everything being in his plan? Perhaps it was part of His Plan for you to speak to him. With a philosophy of not bothering since it's all in his hands, reminds me of that story about that guy whose house is flooding. He's a religious fellow, and since you've probably never heard it I will tell it. I've heard it quite a few times in reference to a query similar to what you're asking. So a guy is in his house and there's a flood, so it's low level at first. Some fire truck comes by and offers to get him to safety before it gets serious. He says no it's okay, God says that if I pray for His help (you can see where this story is going) that I will be okay. So I will just pray for him to lift me out of this storm. So the guy asks God to deliver him out of the storm. Later it gets higher and he moves to the second floor, then a boat comes by, asks him if he needs help, he says no I will Pray to God about it. He Prays again. Finally, it's reached BIBLICAL proportions and the man is forced to go to his roof. A helicopter comes by and tells him to get on up, but the moron says No don't worry, God will save me. So...the man drowns, he's dead, he goes to Heaven and talks to God. Why didn't you save me when I prayed for your help? God says, "what are you talking about? I sent a fire truck, a boat, a helicopter..." Basically, we are in control but we also aren't. I know that's kind of complicated and doesn't relate so much to what you're asking, but there is a connection there about how we Pray to God yet at the same time we have to acknowledge that in order to fulfill his plan for us we have to accept certain parts about it and follow certain tenets. Don't expect magic or anything. lol, I can imagine someone like Dr.Tom reading through all of this about Prayer and his reaction to it. Me, you can tell by the fact that I capitalized certain words where I stand on the subject.

    Wish vs. Prayer

    When people pray, they Believe that they are really asking God to help. When people wish, it's more or less just a sign of false hope and when you're literally at a loss as to what to do, you just reach out for something, ANYTHING, to help you out. You know it's bullshit but you're desperate. Depending on your Religious beliefs, or lack thereof, you believe one or the other. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    We got Pope smoke...

    If find it refreshing. And far more interesting than what usually happens to threads in this folder, i.e. Mike arguing with someone (usually RobotJerk or Jobber) for several pages. I think we'd all be better off if we could channel that energy into some really frank and informative discussions on hentai. Unless Mike and RJ get into a heated discussion on the positive and negative qualities of rorikon. Wait a minute, do you actually know something about this octopus sex loving shit?
