I'm not sure if I should be laughing because the old lady actually thought slicing the billboard would to much, or facepalming at the sheer stupidity of the people being offended by the damn thing. :facepalm:

Come on ImprobableJoe, why can't you respect a slippery slope argument? It's a totally valid line of reasoning! /sarcasm Seriously though, if he had made it an analogy it would have been less silly. It makes a better statement as a comparison than as a slippery slope piece of crap.

I would give almost anything to see a creationist attack evolution with that line of logic... "See, I'm so stupid that evolution CAN'T be true. If it was, my whole family would have been wiped out by sharp corners on food packaging decades ago!"

And for once, sarcasm translates well over the internet. We have a winner! :D

Huh, how'd I miss seeing this reply before? Oh well. I didn't intend to sound like I believed that nonsense to be true. I only use the 'love for Jesus = gay' thing to mess with homophobic Christians. So yeah, there you go. :P

Point taken. I was thinking more on an immediate time scale. Fear of lost money, fear of environmental catastrophe, what's the difference? Semantics! :lol:

Very nice! :D Even with the obviously crappy acoustics, it was really good. I can only imagine how much better it would be properly recorded. I wouldn't be surprised if you get a nice record deal some day.

Private businesses can refuse to admit or service anyone they like, based on anything they want. If a store says no shirt means no service, you still have to wear one to go in even if your religion says shirts are bad. Same thing here with headwear.

Yes, because the UN is super effective like that. /sarcasm Seriously though, it wouldn't happen in a peaceful manner. For instance, do you think Iran, the United States, and Russia would all be happy to be under the same rule? One, two, or all of them would take major issue with aspects of...

No, as I said, if PROPERLY implemented, it doesn't reduce a company's profit. Hypothetically, it should at most keep them making the same amount of profit for a few years while the potential higher profit goes toward lowering their emissions. However, you're right in saying that won't...

So, Durakken, I have a sort of answer for you. I did a little looking around and could find absolutely no data on how much water per unit of land was. I think this is one of those unfortunate situations where you want a statistic that nobody has ever bothered to officially tabulate and present...

I would say it's worth reading from a secular perspective. It has some interesting stories, but it's not particularly well written. Also, as for the "big concept," I gleaned one from the New Testament. If you ignore all of the book except for what Jesus says and does, here's the message you...

Being moral is being indifferent to good and evil? Uh, no, as Nasher168 pointed out, that would be amoral. And what's that nonsense about subjectivity meaning it doesn't exist? That's like saying the exact name of the color of my car, being a bluish-green color, is subjective and therefore my...

In that case, you should be advocating awareness of what the word actually means rather than just hating on the word. It's a totally legitimate word (pseudo meaning false or lying), and it applies perfectly to things like creationism/intelligent design and astrology that try to pose as real...

Actually, that IS why I feel like bashing my head into my desk... The whole fact that these weakass bills are all that have even a slight possibility of passing, topped with the fact that people rabidly oppose them, make me think a severely smashed face and head would feel good in comparison...

:facepalm: I'm starting to agree with the OP. This is ridiculous. What I said was indeed the logic behind a Cap and Trade system, but the facts of it that you brought up totally run sideways to the goal. We Americans (as a nation, not every individual) are far too obsessed with the whole...

Alright, consider me duly called out on misinterpreting what you said. I've heard too many defeatist types saying pretty much what I thought you were saying, so I probably projected that on to you. Sorry. :D And your reasoning behind this reform being dumb makes a lot of sense. I still say...

Re: "Darwinism" is Not a Word The fact that people use it as a real word makes it a word, so your thread title is silly. What you should have said is that it's a misnomer. Darwinism as the scientists and such use it basically means the idea of natural selection is real and happens...

Ah, okay, that is pathetic then, haha... My total time on WoW compared to all other game playing would probably be about 25%. And the only reason it's that low is because I play a lot of video games. :D

Re: ** STICKY ** The Official Xmas Thread My family doesn't do the religious thing either, thankfully. It'll be a day of hanging out in front of the fire, talking and joking, maybe playing a few board games, eating delicious honey ham... Basically just a family day of hanging out and having a...
