Oh, can I sell bootleg copies and then give all the money to you? JK

I'll take them... This place needs more precipitation anyways. (officially a desert)

I started driving in Phoenix, AZ... A light sprinkle, and people thought the world was being flooded again. I love snow and rain... My favorite times of year.

Religion or not, wouldn't have changed that people kill other people. They used religion as an excuse, not a motivator.

And I won't. Yup. Violent revolution keeps them away for about 200 years, so we now have a schedule for our revolutions... Once every 200 years...

That's normal believe it or not... It's just how often it happens that defines whether it's abnormal. (it always sucks though)

If time works the way it should, you can go forward as much as you want, and never change anything, but even a nanosecond backwards and you go off on an alternate timeline. (my thinking)

Children of the Grave - Black Sabbath Doing an audio comparison of lossy audio codecs for best overall quality capability with lower file size than FLAC at compression level 8.

So do I, but then again I'm in an area that doesn't know what it is in the first place. (I'm from South Dakota, so I know weather, but I live in Pueblo, CO, and they get about as much precipitation as Phoenix, AZ)

Orange Juice, and going to go figure out what I want to eat later...

They had to figure it out... Adam named every animal there was before God even made Eve... Back before they got kicked out of the garden, there wasn't any death. (and no risk of injury either) Most of what occurred in the garden wasn't included because it was irrelevant at the time. (ie. what import is it what names he gave the animals?) I can think of no religion that equates sex to sin, unless you're talking about Necromongers... Sex outside of marriage, yes, but not sex in general. Why would he? There's even an implication that they already had children while in the garden... God told them that child birth would be painful, which due to the wording meant it previously wasn't, and they had dealt with it. Not how I read it. Not like buddies, more like a village idiot who is supposed to do all the dirty work without realising he is being exploited. After all, it is when God has kicked A & E sorry asses out of Eden that he said - “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil." Interpretations are a curse. You have to look for what was intended, not what it sounds like now that it's been translated through 2-3 languages, and several versions of the languages. He's God... I seriously doubt he wouldn't be prepared for every possible eventuality. You offended the Mighty Whatsit religion... You must now suffer the consequences. Now you must LIVE!!! AND DIE EVENTUALLY!!!

1929 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929 The end of the "Roaring Twenties", and the beginning of the Great Depression. (caused by the Wall Street Crash, which tells you just how much power people that do nothing have over this country)

Hi, nice to meet you... You can take me out for a drink some other time, and I'll drive you home when I drink you under the table. (I'm not alcoholic, but I can drink like one) Come over here, and I'll beat you, procrastinator or not...

My Dad's HDD trying to wear itself out.

Xalder, I know the feeling completely... (the same thing as when I worked at Target in the electronics department, since they cover electronics, toys, multimedia and, if there's no dedicated sporting goods section, they even cover bikes, sports equipment, automotive, and the seasonal area with just two people) Hey, maybe we can get minor voice roles in the movie that Ross is going to make... It would be a good place to start a career.

I'm just sitting here being bored.

Have you ever seen it snow when it is above freezing? It was 39 degrees this morning, and it was snowing... I drove my Mom to work in it, then on the way back, it switched to rain, then back to snow... It keeps other people off the road, and looks beautiful... I love it!

He didn't "disagree with God" he wanted to become God. He wanted to take power, not to just have things done differently. No. He did it to spite God, and ruin the relationship between God and Man. Imagine it like this: A guy and his friend get in a fight because they both want to be captain of the football team, the one that is already the Captain wins the fight, so they become enemies. Later on, the Captain gets a girlfriend, so the enemy decides to get back at the Captain by making them break up. It works, but they remain friends. The Captain knows that it was his enemy that caused the breakup, and tells his ex to be wary of him, and even tells her what sort of tricks he uses to try and manipulate people. The enemy decides to try and make the ex-girlfriend fall for him, just to rub it in. Do you understand at least a little? Actually, before being thrown out of the garden, God and Man walked together... Like good buddies, not like someone that worshiped the other. Man had, and used free will, but didn't have the "knowledge of good and evil" which if IIRC is a bad translation of the words that described the idea... It was something closer to "the urge to do bad things, despite knowing that it was bad". (you can't see where the light shines, unless there's dark somewhere) It's extremely hard to put this type of idea into words. Why? Before that, they had no urges to even try the forbidden fruit... (if someone says that one type of apple will kill you, but the rest of the extremely plentiful fruit around you would be good, would you risk it?) That was introduced by the serpent when he said "surely you will not die". (serpent, not snake; it was probly closer to a dragon than a snake if the original wording, and historical references are to be believed) I could also get into what God and the devil meant when they talked about dying, but suffice to say that, once you lose innocence, you can never regain it... Innocence can die without you physically dying. You can cease to be who you are, without physical death. Doing it in the name of a religion doesn't mean that it's actually following the teachings of said religion. Taking things out of context can give radically different meanings to what is actually intended. (and that is where a vast majority of the wrongs attributed to certain religions come from)

I think there's already a thread about the religion stuff, but I don't remember for sure. I'd be happy to discuss the topic with you there if you want. Actually, back in the day, Christians were the leading scientists. (science is the study of everything, and therefore the study of God)

No.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 Forced AA makes it look MUCH better.

Nope... Not that either... I just don't want to go through and post a reply again concerning that aspect of this subject... As a matter of fact, I don't even want to post this, but not doing so would leave you with the wrong idea of me. Ok, I'll reply to the first part of Doom's post at least... We separated from England, and that separated us from those who were both influenced heavily by the corporations, and from those that influenced the corporations heavily. In addition, it separated us from the crown's excessive taxes and tariffs that they imposed on virtually everything. (some of which were increased even further by certain corporations, and then pocketed) And his last reply: “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it” - George Santayana (a revolution is going to happen again and again until the people in charge learn to quit being assholes)

Well, if you ever need any northern midwest American male voices with just a touch of southwest for any of your videos, I'm your extraterrestrial! The FM voicepack would be enough to get me to play DotA2 again, so it looks like I won't be playing any time soon. It would be nice to see you do a few other games' "minds" after you finish FM, but don't feel obligated...
