  • Who's watching it?

    This year's Iron Bowl is bitter sweet. If Bama wins, we won the biggest game of the year and have braggin' rights for the next year - no title games. If Auburn wins they go to the SEC/National games.

    Not saying we should lose, but......it would still be nice to keep the SEC/National Championship in state again. What do ya'll think?

    1. Any exposed skin is pain, especially eye balls.
    2. Breathing through the nose results in my boogers freezing and poking the inside of my nose (ouch!)
    3. Breathing through the mouth causes the water in my breath to freeze on my mustache, making icicles. No joke.

    What is the coldest weather you have been in????



    That's cold! I've never really been in weather conditions that cold. Other than layovers, the coldest weather I've experienced was in South Korea - 2004. It was probably 15F, but flying straight from the Philippines where I had spent the past couple months in 106F made it seem worse than it was.

    Edit: The ad to the left is for Columbia cold weather gear and shows a dude buried in snow freezing his balls off.

    Islam dictates more hardships on people than any other major religion, especially on its followers. If Christians had the same religious fervor it would be the same here.



    I think you're unduly discounting those raised in very strict Baptist or Pentacostal families, or very strict Catholic families (especially outside the US), or very strict orthodox Jewish families.



    No, I'm not. Judaism, Catholicism and Christianity definately have an abundance of people who take the bible at face value in regards to the treatmeant of people (punshments, laws, etc...). I could care less if someone thinks the earth is only 10k yo; it's the medieval treatment that many Muslim-majority countries impose on people that puts Islam at the top of my list.

    For the most part, countries with a Christian majority have moved with the times. However, in Muslim-majority countries there are still many archaic practices that are accepted by a large majority of the people (child marriage [rape?], stoning, death penalty for adultry and conflicting with the government/Islam). The number of Muslims who accept such standards are far more than the number of Christians and Jews.

    I guess you could say it is a difference in culture/society, but when Islamic law comes to play it really is hard to pinpoint a root cause being anything other than the religion.

    I'd also hope to hear the viewpoint of some of the Muslim members of this forum.



    I would too. The six million+ Muslims that live in the U.S. (and Europe) don't accept the more extreme parts of Sharia law. It would be interesting to know what they think about child marriage, the ill treatment of women, and some of the norm practices going on with Islam.

    As Andy pointed out and what I've already known, the same goes on with other religions; it's just more widespread and accepted in Islam than in Christianity.

    I think Islam is definately the more fucked up of all Abrahamic Religions.



    This is not a dig; but I respectfully suggest your comment stems as much from the universal human tendency to be culturally myopic as anything else.

  • Boortz has his head so far up his ass its crazy. He's using the Bill O'Reiley tactic of talking over other people to shun them out. Yeah, fair and balanced :S

    Religion should not be used to gauge a person's character, but I think Islam is definately the more fucked up of all Abrahamic Religions.

  • ****SPOILER ALERT***

    The new Harry Potter sucked balls! It was like Lord of the Rings part Deux. All they did was walk around the woods for 2.5 hours and argue. Ron Weasley bulked up since the last film and Harry was a whiney bitch. I'm surprised Ron didn't beat the shit out of Harry with his new muscles.

    The only thing remotely good about the whole damn film was Emma Watson, she's a hottie. [insert wand joke here].

    Edit: I'm a Potter fan, read the books, and liked the other films. Hopefully part two will be better.

  • Point Break's a good movie, I've always liked it.

    Johnny Utah: I can't do this.

    Bodhi: Yes you can, who knows, you might like it.

    Johnny Utah: Bodhi, this is your fucking wake-up call man. I am an FBI Agent!

    Bodhi: Yeah, I know man. Ain't it wild? That's what makes it so interesting. .....[snip].....

    :D:D:D

  • I was super impressed with the AI in combat training. After a couple days of playing, I like the MP on Black Ops. I like a few of the maps on MW2 better, but the good outweighs the bad.

    Single Player sucks, but that's not why I got the game :P

  • Yeah the whole point is system is good to go. But, for some reason, I'm not feelin' the maps on multi-player:S

    My favorite MW2 maps are the big-ass house and the airport. There's nothing similar to a "defend the castle" map on this game. Is there?

    >When did drug possion become a right?

    It's not. When did possession of an assault weapon become a right?



    When did it stop being a right?

    Bill, what do you consider to be an assault weapon?

    Anyways, I would have liked to see prop-19 go though [:/] Does anyone think it will be on the next ballot?

  • I voted Liberterian this year -- Redpath in Virginia's 10th. He only got 5k votes, or a little over 2%.

    I was talking to one guy that said he wanted to vote for Redpath but didn't because he knew he wouldn't win, so he voted for his second choice instead. [:/]

    Anyways, I really wanted to see Prop-19 go through. Does anyone think it be on the next ballot?
