  1. Nick Heard a funny story from moe a little bit ago about jumps you made when your body wasn't cooperating. Think he called them "sandbags" something about going limp in the harness immediately after exit. Would love to hear your espouse on the events of them days.
  2. *** I do object to JJ hijacking the superbowl with her tit flash. Context is important. She can do what the hell she likes as long as it's somehow labeled and families don't have it shoved in their face when enjoying a national tradition. Quote Tits are a healthy alternative to the ultra... "Violence"-(pick negative adjective) which is the NFL.
  3. Business News for Technology Leaders U.S. Drops Out of Top 10 'Freest' Economies January 5, 2005 1:32PM The United States has dropped out of the world's top 10 "freest economies" in a ranking released Tuesday by the conservative Heritage Foundation. The organization, which promotes low taxes and limited government regulation, said the United States was tied for 12th place with Switzerland in the 2005 Index of Economic Freedom. Hong Kong retained its top ranking in the survey, followed by Singapore, Luxembourg and Estonia. Ireland and New Zealand tied for fifth place, followed by Britain, Denmark, Iceland and Australia in the top 10. Chile ranked 11th. "Perhaps the greatest surprise in this year's index is the failure, for the first time, of the United States to make the top 10," the Washington-based research group said. "Although its score remains unchanged from last year, and it is still classified as free, the United States -- now in a tie for 12th place with Switzerland -- has been 'treading water,' according to the editors, and hence has been surpassed by countries willing to open their economies still further." The report, compiled with the Wall Street Journal, "demonstrates that the countries with the greatest degrees of economic freedom also enjoy the highest living standards," Heritage said. "During the last nine years, countries that have done the most to improve their scores on the index's 10 measures of economic freedom have, in general, experienced the highest rates of economic growth. Iceland, for example, has improved steadily, producing a compound growth rate of 3.5 percent." The report showed "a net increase in global economic freedom" overall in the global economy, with 86 scoring better this year than last year and 57 countries getting lower scores. Overall, 17 countries are classified as having "free" economies, 56 as "mostly free," 70 as "mostly unfree" and 12 as "repressed." The criteria used include free trade, taxes, government intervention in the economy, monetary policy, capital flows and foreign investment, property rights and informal market activity. Among European nations outside the top 10, Germany ranked 18th, Italy 26th and France 44th. Japan, the world's second-largest economy, ranked 39th in the survey. The Asia-Pacific region offered sharp contrasts, with the two highest-ranked economies but also the two lowest-rated countries in the world, Myanmar and North Korea.
  4. By "improvement" you mean the homo-centric view of what is better, don't you? yeah thats right
  5. *** The point they had was that in all of known history, there was NOT A SINGLE CASE of a mutation in any species in which the DNA GAINED information. In EVERY SINGLE CASE, information was LOST. Quote This is a common misconception.The information in DNA need not be gained OR lost only changed. This thinking stems from the very ecclesiastical idea that evolution is a sright line from less to more. When infact "improvement" has nothing to do with it.
  6. Pajarito- Reasons do not equal justification. Explain why disbelief should lead to death. After all isn't damnation of non-belivers the altimate justification for belivers and god. Hardly seems fair, just or loving to hasten the damnation of non-belivers or those who have a moment of weakness simply to stroke the ego of the master of the universe.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt . . . And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast” (Exodus 9:22-25). “And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all Egyptians” (Exodus 9:11). 4.

How has God punished those who have no knowledge of him? A. This is ridiculous. If they haven't heard of Him, God certainly wouldn’t punish them. B. He does not punish them until they know of Him.

  8. ""Compare that to the bible, which often contradicts itself, Ya mean like this? According to Matthew, Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great (Matthew 2:1). Herod died in March of 4 B.C., so Jesus had to have been born BEFORE that time. But . . . According to Luke, Jesus was born during the first census in Israel, while Quirinius was governor of Syria (Luke 2:2). This census took place in 6 AD and 7 AD, about 10 years after Herod's death. After Jesus was born where did Mary, Jesus and Joseph go? According to Matthew, Jesus was born in a house in Bethlehem. (Matthew 2:11) They immediately left in a panic to Egypt because an angel told them that Herod was going to try to kill Jesus. (Matthew 2:13) Afterwards, they are going to return to Bethlehem, but decide to go to Nazareth instead to avoid danger. (Matthew 2:22-23) But . . . According to Luke, Mary and Joseph were from Nazareth and went to Bethlehem only for a census. (Luke 2:4). Instead of being born in a house, Jesus was born in a manger because there was no room in an Inn. (Luke 2:7). After the birth, they waited only for Mary to go through ritual purification, whereupon they went to Jerusalem to sacrifice two birds. (Luke 2:22-24). After that, they went immediately home to Nazareth. (Luke 2:39) Who was Joseph's father? It was important to Luke and Matthew to establish that Jesus' bloodline went to King David, so that He would fulfill prophesy. Of course, since Joseph was not Jesus' father, any genealogy starting with Joseph seems somewhat pointless, but this didn't stop our imaginative authors. The only problem is: their family trees don't correspond. "And JACOB begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus." (Matthew 1:16) But . . . "And Jesus being the son of Joseph, which was the son of HELI." (Luke 3:23) Where was the "Sermon on the Mount" held? While we commonly think of the sermon being held on a mountain (from its name alone), truly the New Testament is better than Conde Nast when it comes to choosing locations! "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying...." (Matthew 5:1-2) But . . . "And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people...came to hear him.. And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said..." (Luke 6:17-20) What were Jesus' last words on the cross before He died? "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" [Psalm 22:1] ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost." (Matt. 27:46-50) But . . . "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost." (Luke 23:46) But . . . "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." (John 19:30) On the third day after Jesus' death, who first came to the tomb? Mary Magdalene alone (John 20:1) But . . . Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (Matt. 28:1) But . . . Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome (Mark 16:1) But . . . Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, the mother of James, and other women (Luke 24:10) What happened to Judas? Matthew 27:5 states that he threw down his silver, ran from the temple, and hanged himself. But . . . Acts 1:16-19 states, however, that he bought some land with his money, and that he had a fall, causing him "to burst open in the middle" so that his "bowels gushed out. And it became known to all of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akaldama, that is, Field of Blood." How are we saved? "For by grace are we saved through faith...not of works" EPH 2:8-9. But . . . "...and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works" REV 20:13. But . . . "Ye see then that by works a man is justified, not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also" JAMES 2:26 When giving His disciples tips on how to accessorize their outfits: When Jesus summons the twelve disciples to send them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, he lists the things the disciples should not take with them. In Matthew 10:9-10 and Luke 9:3-5, a staff is included in the list of things not to take. But . . . In contradiction to Matthew and Luke, Mark 6:8 makes a specific exception - the disciples may take a staff. Paul and his fabulous trip to Jerusalem: Paul denies that he was involved in the persecution of Christians in Jerusalem. In fact, he claimed that it was three years after his conversion before he traveled to Jerusalem, at which point he met only Cephas and James, "and not any other apostles" (GAL 1:18-19) But . . . Luke, who wrote Acts, not only has Paul engaged in persecution in Judea, he has Paul going to Jerusalem immediately after his conversion, and there meeting all the apostles (ACTS 9:27).

  13. ***To quote an older philosopher: To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 *** Lets not forget what He said about those Jews who didn't believe Him......... [The Jews] both killed the lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contraty to all men. 1 Thessalonians 2:15 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake. Titus 1:10-11 It doesn't take an exceptional mind to see the contradiction inherint in the concept of a loving saviour dying for ALL sins, while condeming a group due to poor judgment /skpeticsim.

  17. ***What is it you want clarification on? Whether or not head trauma and epiphanies have a causative relationship.
  18. As for the blind leading the blind, you are good at that. See the following post to your. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME"Your rambling foolishness is not an argument at all, its just incoherent rambling nonsense." Quite an eloquent rebuttal. People in glass houses............
  19. When you begin answering questions i'll tell you who I am. (Think red with a british accent)
  20. I conceded that it was inappropriate to label an entire group as white trash. I was attempting humor based loosely on another post regarding the need to rid oneself of possessions as a prerequisite for entry to the pearly gates.
  21. I'm ashamed of nothing. How does my desire to remain anonymous infer shame? The only brain you have. Would my "ranting" be less "ridiculous" if you possessed a cognome. And finally you need to get your head out of your ass. No one can spend as much time as I have pouring over a book to pull the quotes that illustrate the boundless hypocrisies contained within, and NOT know or understand the topic.
  22. I twisted nothing. It is you who has taken to heart only the bits you wish to be defined. Q:If you DO read the bible with an open mind, and come to the conclusion it is not true, did you read the bible with an open mind? A:You must blindly accept the Bible by faith. Remember that an open mind is the devil's favorite toy. When you open your mind, Satan jumps right into your head and will show you countless contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities and downright silliness present throughout the Good Book. It is important that we not exercise any rational thought when reading the Bible, for such tends to make God look bad and the whole book look like something even Mother Goose would reject. After all, it was God's first published work, and there were no publication houses with editorial departments when it was written. Even God recognizes how outrageous and misanthropic is His first best seller, especially Paul's outrageous writings that condemn so many. The Bible tells us that its every word was inspired by God, Himself (2 Timothy 32:16). God knew Paul's ridiculous rantings (which He inspired) would make no sense, so He actually went to great pains to warn us that those who try to understand Paul's logic do so "unto their own destruction" (2 Peter 3:16). God also knew that people would start to "interpret" the Bible into something that wasn't so hateful and violent if given the chance, so He had John write near the end that anyone who adds or withdraws a single statement from the Bible (or at least its last book) will be destroyed (Revelation 22:18-19). Needless to say, God shuns philosophers and free thinkers, describing them as essentially evil (Colossians 2:8-9). The bottom line is that, in order to have any real shot at Heaven, we must believe every word of the Bible and all its incredible pronouncements. The only way a rational person can believe such jibberish is to accept it by faith, without question. We must turn off our brains. Fortunately for many of the participants here, they were born with very little brain power in the first instance, hence blind deference isn't difficult for them. Of course, this means that the majority of True Christians will continue to be those who hang their wet clothes on the line separating their double wides from their neighbor's stills. Praying all will recognize that a closed mind is the key to fundamentalist thought (a/k/a, the GOP platform),
  23. "But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? . . . And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. . . . Then fell [Sapphira] straightway at [Peter's] feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband." Acts 5:1-10. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost,AND KEEP BACK PART OF THE PRICE OF THE LAND The underlined sentence implies that the act was as contentious as the lie.
