No, I just don't want to sit and argue about something that has been an argument for the top minds of the world for over a century. If you want to go try and find something that both sides seem to overlook in a massive controversy, be my guest, but you'll have as much trouble as me, and I just don't have the time to go looking for it.

Ok, so it's either do nothing, and let it fester, (your way) or do something that might work. Doing nothing will definitely make it worse, doing something might make it better or worse, but at least it has a CHANCE of making things better. -
Whoever came up with the requirement that a song had to go "verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus" should be shot. lt-udg9zQSE

Banned for thinking I don't expect everything that happens here.

Granted. But instead you have to do regular school work, at school, all day for the entire weekend. I wish I could lose 40lbs so I could join the Navy.

Hopefully it has a middle and end too... The middle and end can be optional if you want.

Well, that was an interesting story... Maybe he was having a seizure... My day was OK... I found out I have to lose 40lbs or 2 inches off my waist to join the Navy... Exercise, here I come... Reluctantly...

I'm sorry, they've been changing what the definition of macro-evolution is again... Some claim it as changing a species from one to another, and others claim it is just changing the same species into a slightly different version of the same species after a thousand years of adaptation. It's very hard to find that particular quote among a sea of arguments about the evolution/creation argument, and I really don't have the time right now to go and look. Here's something that might be an interesting read though: http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/filesDB-download.php?id=118

Does God exist? (your opinion anyways.)

If you change the interpretation, the wording to convey an idea ceases to convey the same idea, and that is where holy wars and inquisitions come from. It was originally worded for the people of 1800-3000 years ago, not now... Interpreting it by our current language style doesn't convey anything close what was originally intended. (and the current translations are word for word, not idea for idea, a problem that occurs with any language translation) -

So do you have something that has been proven to work at least as well as keeping it away for over 200 years? -
Then I guess I'd be a licensed retailer then if Ross Ok'd it...

7/10 It's too unrealistic.

"You might think you want to see the rest of me, but you really don't."

I don't know...

And to enjoy the company of individuals that are even more insane than Ross's portrayal of Gordon Freeman... (in other words, me)

Not bad... You guys get as much snow around there as we do over in the Vermillion area of South Dakota. (where I grew up)

I can't think of a comment for that. What was I trying to think of a comment for?

That is a new permanent addition to to my video folder.

Give me a couple days to get a list together... I'll PM the list to you when I get it. On the other hand, other than the TV censors, they try to shove sex at you from every angle... All in all, they are extremely hypocritical in today's secular environs. (my opinion: squishy boobs are fun to watch, just don't squirt in them unless you're married to them) Honestly, my Mom (who many have equated to being a religious prude) will sit and comment on boobs that are shown in movies, and she'll make fairly lewd jokes from time to time. If she is a "religious prude", and "equating sex with sin", (she has 3 kids, and I was born 12 years after she got her tubes tied) then is a regular person really just a raging nymphomaniac? (I could get into even more detail about how my family violates that stereotype, but that'd take the thread off topic) Actually, back right after the garden, there wasn't anyone else around... Siblings married each other, and had families... Incest wasn't a taboo since there were no genetic mutation associated with those kind of couplings. After Noah, same thing... (read this for some insight into the history of incest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incest_taboo) In the 1920's and 30' the average family size for Christian farmers was 8+ children... In the middle ages, Christian families were getting over 5 children on average, and about 2/3 were dying... Near the birth of Christ, the number of children is estimated to be between 4 and 7 children per household... Sex has never been considered bad unless you're not married to your sexual partner. (at least not by any of the religions, only by people trying to impose their own will on others and using religious interpretation as an excuse) It's not doing it without interpreting, it's doing the interpreting in the way that people would've done back then... People are trying to interpret it as if it was written in the past 100 or so years, not as if it was written (mostly) over 3000 years ago, (the old testament) and over 1800 years ago. (the new testament) Most people don't realize that the bible would be over 1000 books if every book they wanted to put into it was actually in it. People even complain about the Catholic bible having two additional books, saying that we're "changing the religion" or "adding propaganda", but it's just that the extra books are added because we can use thinner pages when we print, and can now fit some of the other books in where they were supposed to be from the beginning. (last I heard, more were coming) Maybe that was the plan from the very beginning, but we'll never know for sure until we meet God and ask him. -
I'll have to search for it, but there are actually books that are written by Catholics, and supported by the Catholic church, the genre is Sci-Fi/Fanatsy... You'd definitely be surprised at what all is in those books. (I knew someone who actually argued for an hour with me because she didn't believe that the church would even condone what was said to be the Catholic faith in the book)

Not bad... The R9 is a very decent GPU, though not as much power as the comparable Nvidia models, it has a very good price/performance ratio. (better than Nvidia for the P/P, but not as much total power)

It wasn't mean in the slightest... And you can always use it as an option if you need to take a break from other things, just do an episode in another game. (or you could take an actual break if needed too)

Wow, was that you? Thanks a bunch if so. I'm more tempted to save the cryptocurrency as I see it having a lot of potential (or doom, hard to say) It wasn't unfortunately... I still have yet to make enough 'coin to break $0.01 worth... Bitcoins right now are the biggest fluctuating stock-like item in the world... People can make million by buying when they're below $100, and selling when the rise to above $500. (500% returns, and the only place you can get them)

If I'm ever headed over that way, I'll let you know; I can put it in my luggage or something to negate the overseas shipping costs if you want...
