Sorry Ginger. I didn't appreciate the sarcasm because of the generalization. Two wrongs don't make a right, you know. Or a left, for that matter.

That's just an ignorant, arrogant, and offensive statement. I am fairly damn sure most people who voted for McCain did not do it based on your criteria there.

Stopping people voting isn't really an issue republicans can take the moral high-ground on. Don't you remember Florida 2000? Plus it isn't like Fox News has an agenda itself is it? You are so right about Fox having a conservative agenda. Im a republican and I agree with you 100%. But don't think for one second that CNN is not a liberally biased media outlet. The republicans did not do anything wrong in Florida in 2000. Bush won before the recount and he won after the recount. I just find it amusing that people constantly harp on Fox News having a conservative agenda, but it's completely fine for MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CNN (and it's affiliates) and other news networks to have a liberal one. Totally fair balance of blame, there.

I remember there being at least half a dozen topics about how terrible it was that raged on for about two weeks afterward.

Wow. I hope you're: 1. Joking 2.Uneducated 3. A younger TIF'er still agreeing with parents' biased views I'm gonna go with #3 As someone who often ends up debating with Saru, I must say #3 is indeed correct. To be honest, Saru has nothing to worry about. His brother is likely to go nowhere, since Obama thinks we should get out of Iraq as soon as possible. Wrong. Obama had the same withdrawal strategy as McCain. We are staying in until we finish the job. However, Obama's plan was to hold Iraq accountable and have them start to reimburse us some of the money they are making over there. As he said "There's no reason we should be so far in deficit while they are pulling in an 87 billion dollar surplus."

I don't know why people are saying the Snopes proves that Chart, since Snopes also says it's bullcrap.

I'm pretty sure we're done arguing, but I hardly believe that the chart is a joke. It would be nice to get a source though... The chart is falsified stats with a source that disagrees with it. The source is "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" of which I have a copy on my bookshelf. There is no section on US states, only the US in general. The graph is fake. Completely and totally fake. Some guy made that in minutes, made up IQ scores, and then credited the lithograph in order to make it look official. It's not. Not to mention that IQ is in no way a measure of intelligence. It's just a number on paper that in reality means nothing.

The book is debated every year as being false, uses sloppy resource materials, and forgets to note that IQ has almost nothing to do with intelligence as a whole. It's nothing but a flame in graph form. Bad sport is lowering yourself to making fun of others.

Yeah, I was about to agree. To die at 87 of cancer is actually pretty damn good. There's nothing medicine can (or should) do for that. I just hope she had a comfortable death with her family.

"Interstate" speeds of "35 Miles Per Hour." I'll stick to my 30 MPG, thanks. Considering gas is only $2.03 per gallon here I don't think we have many reasons to rush out and spend "over 20,0000 dollars" on this.

Hurrah for Texas Tech! My alma mater!

That's the point I was driving at. If it became public he would have been destroyed. But he lived in a time without 24/7 media coverage. Nowadays it's really easy for skeletons to jump out of the closet. If you would like to join us in the big boys and girls debate table, please present an actual argument. One that doesn't make you look like a moron off the bat should help a little. I'm sorry. I am sick of this :twss:, fail, and other 4chan bullcrap. Don't drag us down to that level.

Is that in Costa Rica? Because even Fox News sings Obama's praise at times.

He will probably be the President known for the War on Terror, and for being put through the crucible the most times of any President. Few Presidents have had to deal with this much crap. As for waterboarding and unfair treatment of prisoners: Abe Lincoln did much worse, fyi. He didn't suspend the rights of POW's like Bush did, he suspended the rights of EVERYONE. Down to freedom of speech. Polk wasted a huge amount of money going to war with Mexico when the Texas Rangers could have easily defended Texas. He occupied Mexico needlessly, and pretty much stole half of Mexico at gunpoint. And as much as you may say that Bush was an idiot, plenty of presidents were worse. Taft and Garfield come to mind. The reason we are knocking on Bush so much is the internet. Clinton didn't have all that bad of an approval rating before the internet really became popular, then he was crucified. From now on, this easy exchange of information (whether true or more often not) will make the Presidency a major hotseat. If Lincoln or FDR or Kennedy had the internet to deal with, they'd of been in trouble, too. Especially FDR, if the fact he had lied about his health had broken while he was still alive.

Bill O'Reilly does it on purpose. Having met him in person (completely different guy), he puts on the persona of the tough love type just to get people inflamed and talking. Which obviously works with you guys. It's not a secret, though, that the media is favoring the left over the right in this election. You would have to have some thick wool over your eyes not to see that.

:shock: That can't mean the same thing as customer support, right? If they had that many people on customer support surely you wouldn't get so many irrelevant automated messages...? :? Imagine recieving 500 account issues per day, then add managing 4000 credit card transactions to make sure they go smoothly, then we have player bug reports, then we have ban appeals and investigations, and then throw on top of that player rule infraction reporting (you can imagine there are a lot of reports).

My Social Studies teacher is teaching us about Hinduism and Buddhism, and he isn't sued? You are allowed to teach world religions, you are not allowed to teach any subject matter that leads to the claim that a particular religion is the correct one. Not even atheism. You just teach the facts, no opinions. I understand that, but the way he phrased it was not so...kind. Like wanting to take a marker and deface the sign just because he disagrees with the message on it. The reason churches often advertise to the "vulnerable" is to provide outlook and help. Talking to a pastor about a problem does not involve preaching or baptisms or anything like that. Hell, I got sex ed from my pastors at church, and it was very in depth (as in real sex ed, not abstinence only. Abstinence was encouraged, but "we want you to know what is happening to you, to others, and if you are going to do it be smart"). Pastors are usually a great source of comfort to those in need, no strings attached.

Because there's nothing worse on the planet than an all-inclusive service fraternity that provides free food for college students and does work for the community. I bet all those people I served in the homeless shelters without preaching a word when I was in a Christian fraternity in college hated me for pushing my ladle of food on their plate. I could care less about the OT. It's called free speech. But, the door swings both ways. Don't trash on people for what they believe in just because you don't agree with it.

Bullcrap, I've been mining there all week and doing other things. The competition for resources simply shifts to bloodshed instead of whining. You find real skillers in the PvP worlds, fighting over resources and evading player killers. It's the epitome of the old school wilderness.

They actually do drop in PvP worlds, at least according to scopes.

First result is snopes telling me it's false. If the "Christianity is false" statements in the various threads around here were half as good as that article, we'd have awesome discussions. I loved the very last line, which is a lesson a lot of people could stand to learn around here.

Jive, four years ago YOU were the one saying that f2p never deserved these updates. I can agree on making the items last longer, but let's face facts. Jagex never should have introduced the corrupted armor or new PvP items for F2P in the first place. Combat would have been fine the way it was without these and without opening a can of worms. "Give an inch, demand a mile" is the niche of the day.

Than that's your own belief. I was just objecting to Michealman5555 or whatever the name was. I was kind of hoping by trashing one or two points of his "argument" that he'd topple but I guess we had to go line by line. Thanks Ginger for at least proving that final point.

For one, Moses predates Greek society. The 10 commandments were widely distributed among the world the eventually Greek and subsequent Roman takeover of the Judeah region. They are pretty common sense rules and found niches in many societies around the world. Hell, they weren't even alien concepts to begin with. And without sources from you, I continue to call your story crap. As for Noah, nearly every civilization on Earth has a flood myth. It's safe to say that a global fund happened as there is anthropological and archeological evidence of it. So Noah wasn't the only person to survive the flood. It is a possibility that could explain human presence on faraway regions like North America (since the Iberian land bridge theory is on it's last legs and several scholars have come out with strong ideas against it). The fact is we don't know exactly what happened as it occured pre-history. As the Bible is being told to people descended of Noah, it's not necessary to tell what happened to anyone else. As for your latter question...a lot? Romans were writing essays on Christ and word of those events reached as far away as Ethiopia and China within a hundred years. It was a well known event within the Roman sphere of influence.
