    Extreme Cowardice

    (BTW - you might want learn the proper use of ellipses: it's only three dots ...) And four, at the end of a sentence, sort of. It's actually an ellipse with a period at the end. The ellipsis has morphed from strictly representing missing words in a quotation ("Four score and seven years ago...

    A little sanity, at long last!

    I must once again congratulate you on your choice of screen name, as this post is the epitome of foolish. You connected the dots between cigarette additives approved by the FDA (not necessarily added by manufacturers, but approved to be added) to a list of carcinogens found in cigarette smoke...

    Unless God spoke to them and told them to do it. So, it's under one or the other? No third option? It doesn't say that, though. That's an interpretation. Even rotten and fresh can be interpreted to mean different things to different people. You wouldn't. You have to take it on faith. Everybody...

    Strange truck seen... Can someone tell me why?

    What is this truck? If so, that's the Project 350 by Richie Acosta. Stretched to 350 inches, it's famous. There are a couple of others out there stretched to 300, but I think Richie's is the most stretched stretched. Richie loves a challenge. He's also crazy. And from New Jersey. Redundant...

    No, I can't produce it for you, because I know it's not in there, either. Well, considering that only plants produce fruit, when you start bringing up all the things for which fruit can be a metaphor, the possible meanings are endless. I've never claimed ALL are wrong. I've claimed that not...

    One of them is a lie. And based on his other statements and actions, it's easy to tell which one he's not all that sold on.

    I didn't mean to imply that those inscriptions were put there specifically for Bush. I meant to imply that the inscriptions, and the other things, clearly indicate that our military is largely a Christian military, in body and spirit. The Bible both directly and indirectly address serving in...

    I would not disagree with that at all, especially the current military (since the end of the draft, where most of the volunteers have come from conservative regions of the country).

    Beginning with the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina decree in 1532, yes. Yes I do, although I do have a problem with the arrogant use of the word "privy" as even amongst born again Christians there are many different interpretations of the marks of genuineness, of what exactly is and is not that...

    Like I said, logic and common sense says otherwise. Maybe not with New Zealand, as they had only been using he scopes for a few weeks before the publicity hit, so it is possible that in New Zealand that no one in those few weeks bothered to look at the scopes. But in the case of the US over the...

    No one said they were required, as far as I know, nor was there a forcing of religion upon those scopes or tanks. There was tacit approval, though.

    Well, yeah, of course he said that. He had to. If he had said otherwise as the President, it would have been a political disaster on a global scale. He also said, when he wasn't in the public eye, that “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East…. The biblical prophecies are being...

    A valiant effort at a red herring, since Bush didn't use the term in that way, particularly in light of his beliefs and previous comments on the matter, not the least of which was his comments to the French president, which provides clear context of definition. It's amusing that you're trying...

    And no one in the military noticed, for 30 years, that the scopes didn't meet military specifications? Logic and common sense says otherwise. And as far as I know, In-N-Out Burger milkshake cups (and drink cups and burger wrappers and French fry containers) have never been used in God's name...

    Does it matter? I mean, what's the acceptable number? The only ones I know of from a reliable source, from other than the linked article, is that "about half" of the M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles and M1A1 Abrams tanks of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment (2nd ACR) had that particular inscription...

    Not sure how new it is. Metadata hashtags have been in programming languages since 1970 and have been used in IRC channels since the second IRC channel was created in 1988. People mock what they don't understand. Then again, if you're not careful you end up like this:

    How liberals argue

    According to the Bible, and Bob Dylan... Well, they'll stone you if you touch the holy things. They'll stone you if you take accursed things. They'll stone you if you curse or blaspheme. They'll stone you if you're raped and do not scream. But I would not feel so all alone. Everybody must...

    Thanks. I wasn't thinking about the tax, or the cover. Need a cover of some kind, depending on where you put it. 5 to 6 hours is about right, so I guess it's not too high. Just seems like it. I more or less built a box over mine as a cover. It's mounted next to the wall in front of the...
