Riding high horses since '06. I misspoke, I more meant if you understand the quality of those things relative to what is available. I should have made that clearer.

Leviticus 25:44-46 However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. Exodus 21:2-6 2 "If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years ; but on the seventh he shall go out as a free man without payment. 3 "If he comes alone, he shall go out alone ; if he is the husband of a wife, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 "If his master gives him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out alone. 5 "But if the slave plainly says, 'I love my master, my wife and my children ; I will not go out as a free man,' 6 then his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear with an awl ; and he shall serve him permanently. Exodus 21:7-11 When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. Exodus 21:20-21 20 Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. Ephesians 6:5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 1 Timothy 6:1-2 1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that Gods name and our teaching may not be slandered. 2 Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare[a] of their slaves. Deuteronomy 22:28-29 28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives. Deuteronomy 22:23-24 If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife Ecclesiastes 7:26 I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare. If we listen to one part of the bible, mustn't we listen to the others? If the bible is a "good book", why does it approve of (that is, gives guidelines for acting out and therefore does not disapprove of it) slavery? Why does it say that women are not equal to men, that they are less worthy or what have you? Why does it say to punish a girl who did not cry out while being raped?

Yeah yeah, if it isn't a thinkpad it's a piece of [cabbage] amirite It's an Ideapad Y560P and I was upgrading from an HP Compaq Presario so it's not like it could be less [cabbage]ty...

>implying a jury in HurrMurrica would care what he had to say (he goes to rob a house at night and a kid hits him with a wooden stick because he was scared and confused, but the thief is not badly injured, just a couple bruises) Since nobody else saw this (I assume) it's the thief's testimony vs My Eggs'. All Eggs has to do is act like a studious, good guy who wanted to protect his family and belongings from a misguided soul, and say that he was surprised and scared when a thief showed up at night in his backyard and hit him twice so he wouldn't run away/hurt Eggs.

This this this this this this this I simply have never understood why anyone would believe in something that has no empirical evidence supporting it. It's like believing in his example of a china teapot flying between Mars and Earth.

I don't have much money, but when I buy stuff, I buy good stuff. For example - my headset is TB's PX21s which were like 80$? Earbuds are Klipsch S4 (80$) an HVY bong for 120$ (I could have bought a few that were like 60-80$ but they're much lower quality) my laptop is from Lenovo and has 4 GB RAM, Win7, an i3 and a Radeon 6570 (I applaud you if you understand that all), and my new soldering iron should be arriving by Wednesday, I could have bought one that did the same thing for about 15$, but I went for the higher quality and probably much better customer service and bought a Hakko for 29$.

What you should have done: Taken the money from him, just barely begin to relax and then bring the staff down on his forehead hard. Double the winning. Oh, and tell your girlfriend about it nonchalantly and as though he had a weapon (I would say a knife).

You should go outside with the knife in your hand in all black and run up to the police to give them cookies.

Confession: I am a classic INTJ and I don't know how long I'll keep my surface conformity on.

Why should that be more of a priority than their actual qualifications? Because it shows that their overall knowledge is poor. This.

Good thing you inb4'd it, because it's exactly what you're doing and it's pretty stupid IMO.

We have calculators. Why do any sort of physical math? Well, you still have to know math to know how to use the calculator properly. I mean you wouldn't actually do math on paper if you could do it in your head or with a calculator. Some math is much easier on paper. And sometimes you can't do it all with a calculator - word problems for example, or budgets. Everyone should be proficient with math so they can manage bank accounts, payments, loans, mortgage, budgets, etc. And it is helpful when finding a job. If you don't have such basic knowledge and basic curiosity, you're at a disadvantage when vying for a job. Especially in this economy, when there will probably be 20+ others trying for the same job. Most hurrmurricans can't label a map of the US with all the states. And people wonder why they can't find a job.

Yes. Yes it is. And yet, I don't care enough to do anything about it. Fine. Good that you admit it though.

Is it still pathetic and lazy if you're spending brain power on other things (that actually help you get a degree given you're not getting a degree in United States geography or something like that)? Yes. And life is not entirely about getting a degree or even necessarily going to college.

Oh god i thought you were Tim. DUN CONFUSE ME!!1!

That's just pathetic and lazy. Not trying to offend you, but really.

Your name is Tim...? And quoted is a problem. Post specs and I can tell you if you can do Win7. And is it a desktop/laptop?

Then install Ubuntu. Vista is one of the [cabbage]tiest OSes available regularly.

@ Duff general knowledge is a good thing. It means you can speak much more effectively with others because you understand more events and phrases. It also means you can make connections and ideas much better, and you can convey directions/geography with better accuracy. It also means you know what people are talking about when they talk about relative locations of states in conversation. And it makes you look good at parties/trivia games/crosswords. Confession: I love crosswords. Real ones, like the New York Times and Boston Globe. I can't quite do Sunday yet, but I can do Monday-Thursday in under an hour and Friday-Saturday in under an hour and a half. Secret: I used to read (and still do on occasion... :L) Uncle John's Bathroom Readers. I have basically memorized at least 2-3 of these books (I can turn to any page and immediately recall the content from the title). Trivia is just so [bleep]ing interesting, you feel me?

This means they have no other friends and have latched on to you.

Backup Reformat Install Windows 7. Pirated if you wish. Not that I condone that. Right? (While typing a paper in pirated Word 2010)

He might be able to help you out though, once a stoner always a stoner friend helper. Yeah, that made no sense.

There's a reason nobody says "Bing it" or "Yahoo it" or "Dogpile it".

Ask friends :thumbup:

How are you liking Beck, Austin?
