Ahh, you got me.

I'm obese.

Oh jeez. is that a legit ring? Like, it appears on your finger and would be practically invisible? Then again, I spent $15 on a green beard. Who am I to judge? :P

Stop being afraid of failure.

Okay, Calgary/LA could be decently interesting. And yeah, the coyotes could potentially move to Seattle.

Je ne vous aime pas! :(

uh hoh hoh hoh, baguette, baguette

Well ain't that dramatique. NOTICE MY FRENCH

I'm not harassing anyone, I just posted a cat. I thought that was what one did around here?

Fine. Have a cat.

Didn't know it was against the rules to say what time someone is being unbanned.

It's a matter of opinion, like I said. I'm not claiming religion is right because people like it, I'm saying people like it so they should be allowed to practice it. It's not an argument from authority if I'm not trying to use that to claim it's valid.

SS is useful if you suck at sniper. Which I do :P Backburner is good but very situational. It's a little better now that it has airblast, but it's pretty impractical to use it. I wish they gave the degreaser a lessened airblast cost too, say 15 metal instead of 20.

calm down if only you took your own advice, this drama might have been avoided

So seany is unbanned on sunday?

More like two or three from what I saw. But no, it's not everyone. YOU'RE COOL, HALO...YOU'RE COOL

and actually reading stuff: wow, half you guys act like spoiled brats way too often

Again? Jeez, you guys can't behave

Why is there only supposed to be minimal posting?

Once again - you assume that knowing religious teachings is not an essential part of life. Many people would disagree with you. And yes, when you look at more recent history, it is generally assumed to be much more about confirmed fact and less about speculation. I was referring more to older history.

Do you object to a parent forcing their child to go to school, and they aren't able to leave until the age of 18? Just curious.

I wasn't thinking so much as a staff group, but maybe a title or badge for those who have proven over time to have given a lot of excellent, constructive advice.

So you would force it on your children; that's my point. And I also think you're full of shit, saying you wouldn't care if they didn't want to learn english. In fact, I'd say you'd be an awful parent to allow that. I'm even sure it's illegal in some countries to refuse to have your child educated in the native language... So do you plan to teach your children both conservative and liberal values, both communist and democratic ones, both racist and non-racist ones? Do you plan to read your children Mein Kampf, and tell them how great a leader Hitler was, so they can decide for themselves whether or not to hate Jews? I doubt it. There's one point here: Parents have the right to teach their children and pass down their opinions to them. This happens in practically everything a parent teaches a child. Yes, I know; which is why I said that the bible stories are no different than ones in other historical texts.

Of course not, but given the lack of detailed information it's impossible to say it wasn't accomplished in some other way. At any rate, we're kind of getting off-topic. I agreed with your original post in general, as I said.

There's no factual basis for much of ancient history if you go by that account. If eyewitness testimony is unreliable, much of ancient history is purely speculation as well.
