I just want to say something here. Sure, she has some issues and I doubt everyone agrees with her (his, I don't really know) choices. But "been through"? She was born a fully-functional person. She just didn't like who she was. So she got some things removed (I'm sure you know about this part). But you can't compare her "struggles" with someone who was born, say, minus legs. If she doesn't want to be discriminated against, she shouldn't be telling everyone she's transgendered, unless necessary. That said, I really have nothing wrong with it. If it isn't against the rules, go right ahead.

Hey, something we fully agree on! I'm not respected by younger generations, and although I'm not exactly an adult, I remember that I would never talk down to someone my size when I was in elementary school. Some kids were using language me and my friend had only just learned, and we were literally about to beat them. Then we realized they were third graders. And their teacher was watching. :lol:

It isn't a part of Judaism; it isn't part of any religion. All monotheistic religions have just been derived from Sun worship, primarily Egyptian. It's hardly well-known knowledge, you'd be surprised at how many people don't even know Abraham was practically the founder of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.

I'll put money on that christianity will never die. Things like tha don't just "die out." It's one of the major religions in the world. If it's lasted for 2000+ years, and still going strong, when will it die out, the year 5000? and various pagan religions used to be the major world religions. look at them now, many of them completely dead. i'm just curious, are there any jews for jesus in this discussion? Those pagan religions aren't dead (for the most part). They just evolved into what we have them now. Christianity and Islam are offshoots of Judaism, which was the first major monotheistic religion and came from Egyptian sun worship. being jewish (and i mean a real jew--not a jew for jesus),i can tell u right now that it did not come from egyptian sunworship. judaism follows the lunar calendar. and also, many of the pagan religions are dead. there are some that are still alive, but many are dead. Yes, most of them are dead or assimilated into other religions. Egyptian worship of Ra led to many passages of the Torah, or Old Testament. The Israelites, when led out of Egypt by Moses, traveled for forty years - a sacred number to the Egyptians. If a pharaoh was buried with forty cats in his tomb, he was guaranteed entrance into Ra's sacred lands. A relatively coincidental example, but it is true. All modern-day monotheistic religions began as worshiping the Sun - hence, Heaven being in the sky. Judaism began in the lands of the Israelites, with Abraham - I believe he is known in the Torah as Avraham Avinu. Following the lunar calendar has nothing to do with it. Also, I try to steer clear of Wicca in general. Such an odd religion.

Superdelegates aren't the best thing in the world. Sucks they were murdered, but obviously the person was an idiot. And there are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of people murdered every day, not just here in America. I doubt everything is a conservative-backed genocide. A Californian taking stereotypes out of proportion? Go figure skating! Oh, no wait. Figure. My bad.

That's another thing. If the other models can't undergo surgery, why can he/she? And Sere, I don't know he/she, I'm not gonna guess.

Elaborate. The Patriot Act hardly does anything. And it certainly doesn't affect school lunches. They started doing things like this when I started school. A tad before the Patriot Act was passed by Congress. And Benjamin Franklin wouldn't want this nation to fall. He'd want to fix it. And maybe smoke some marijuana (look at his hair, folks!). Anarchy is a terrible thing, despite what everyone would believe. All social structure would collapse. Those roads you like to drive down? Unless you take it upon yourself, they'll just get rougher and rougher. Those schools you like? Unless you're paying for them, you aren't going there. Etcetera, etcetera. Fg, unless you're checking out books on how to make explosives and guides to New York City, they aren't gonna rush into your house and waterboard you. People need to learn what this Act is and act appropriately. Instead of throwing a fit over it, worry about what it could lead to - and prevent it.

I have to add Serenity as my second number 2. It made me cry. That's a big deal, guys.

I hope it doesn't win. Shouldn't really be qualified to be in a women's modeling competition if you don't get a period in my opinion. (Isn't America's Top Model women-only?) It's fine for, you know, other things I guess. Just not those sorts of things. EDIT: Note, I only meant the period thing as being an actual woman.

I didn't know you got your school lunch from libraries.

Congress. The President would only be able to start a military operation if Congress allowed it (although I do believe very extreme situations can warrant him acting without Congress). And Congress is currently very Democratic. I just wanted to say that. And Yomyth, you're so very insightful about the world. :twss:

Lowrider. And I Like Big Butts.

Well, the only way someone can tell is if they look at your achievements for the game, so can't really say it's a plus. Also, play with aim assist off. It will make you better for online. That's a good enough rate.

3 hilts in three days? Jesus. 9,012 points for you

Ahh, I'd love to be a Mason. Unfortunately the only ones that I know are very old and will probably die by the time I'm old enough to join.

I know they've been gone. It was the only group I could think of right now. And it's not a fact that it's our government. ALL governments are controlled by it. Ahh, conspiracies are great fun, eh? :P Sorry, I just think these sorts of things are ridiculous.

I was with my friend a year or two ago and some eight year old was playing Call of Duty 3 with him (we were at a LAN place). I joined, and we made him cry. I don't face kids or [wagon] very much, but I play games with better communities. But when I do, I usually torture them. Make them kill me, "accidentally" not tell them our car is on fire. Those sorts of things.

The Illuminati have been gone for years. Damn you Dan Brown. Besides, do you really think our government is in an organization that has/does contain/ed the greatest minds in the world?

We live in an age of paranoia. It's going to happen.

Yeah, I'm sure we'll sever all diplomatic relations and "backstab" one of our largest groups of allies in every way. :lol: Besides, Russia would only want to "fight for" Eastern Europe.

They're not exactly in the genre you obviously enjoy, but give 'em a shot. The Presidents of the United States of America -

I doubt either side would be able to do much. Our Air Force and Navy would stop them from getting anywhere close to our lands, and their ground troops are incredibly well trained and disciplined.

Ah, okay. I understand it now, I guess. It would have been better if they'd kept it all, but it is the Holy Christian Bible. (Note -I believe my version is officially Catholic. Mormons, Jehova's Witnesses, and the like all have their own version of the Bible as well Adolf Hitler was insane. Not to mention his mother was Jewish, thus his idea of Jews being a race would have made him genetically imperfect in his own eyes. Perhaps that's what led him to commit suicide. And it isn't preachers that are bad in Christiandom. It is the nutjobs, as with every religion or nonreligion. Also, he killed millions. The history of near everything is bad. People will kill in the name of killing. Those people are dead. You can't blame things that happened centuries ago on a group existing now. Christianity is not one big glob. There are so many groups and offshoots that you nearly have to treat each one as a separate religion. You can't blame a massive religion for one tiny group's [wagon]ery, just as I can't blame, say, Liberals because of those groups that try to spit on soldiers returning from Iraq (not trying to bring politics into this, merely an example). To use Islam and the Koran as an example - not everything shows the good side or the bad side. People will interpret it how they will, and some interpret it as "strap a bomb to your child's chest, it's a great thing!". However, you can't blame Islam in general for those things - it is one of the most demanding religions out there, and nearly all people who practice it are extremely devout. I hope that was a bit of a counterpoint to whatever point we're making here. I need a nap.

You disregard one of the most-read texts in the history of literature due to it not being cool enough for you? I once respected you as a debatist. :| What? You totally didn't read my post for what it was... And what was it? Because it seems like you're bashing something for no reason, something you've been doing a good bit of recently. Oh yeah, I disregard it because it isn't "cool enough", I mean, are you for real? Read the post again; it's obvious that I said I disregarded it because the Bible, while looking at it from a historical and scholarly angle, doesn't exist in the terms that you're proposing because of the editing and rejections of other books. Mmm, alright then. I apologize, I lost my head a bit. However, I don't understand what terms you mean. Of course certain parts were rejected for the modern Bible. How does that make it laughable?
