    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    No, you simply have to understand that you weren't being attacked and that you misunderstood the reference. Clearly, you don't know when someone is calling you a name or not. I didn't call you stupid. I said I don't know whether you are too stupid, or too stubborn, to understand that you...

    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    Frankly, it's one that is so ingrained in American pop culture that few people will not understand the reference. I fully understand why a Brit and a Canadian, and those who spent most of the 70s at the disco on Saturday nights, might not get it. They won't understand the Super Bass-O-Matic...

    There's an idea. Canopy the entire parking lot, and above it put car parking.

    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    I will tell you to chill, because you need to. You're all bent out of shape simply because you didn't get the reference. You didn't get the joke. You obviously (I hope) didn't bother to even go and watch the video of the skit in order to put the reference in the proper context. I say "I hope"...

    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    He didn't attack you or your mother. Calm down, take a pill or something. You didn't get the reference, so you misinterpreted it. It happens. Get over it or learn to live with it, but the personal attacks stop right now.

    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    I'm very familiar with Dr. Sproul. His addressing of questions, while often done ontologically (Thomism) is still primarily, if not solely, for the purpose of helping Christians understand why they believe certain things from a philosophical standpoint. His means have a goal in mind, rather than...

    As Bob noted, they'll name any and everybody they can in a suit. If you don't name them you have no shot at getting money out of them, but if you name them, you just might.

    I was gonna ask where you are putting all these people. Maybe time to add another floor? :D

    What? That's positively un-American!

    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    FWIW, I didn't see a problem with the reference. I thought it was hilarious. And especially hilarious considering this topic. It's a way to inject humor into a serious topic in such a way as to specifically not offend someone. But I can also see how those not familiar with it wouldn't...

    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    Not really. Those questions are always addressed within the context of the religion itself. The answer to the "How can we know this is true?" is always a faith-based answer. The answers may make your faith stronger, but in the end it's still nothing more than faith, a belief in something with no...

    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    Religion is quite real. The difference is, science requires doubt and scrutiny, while religion refuses to tolerate any such nonsense.

    US row over Congressman Todd Akin's rape remark

    You're making a very strong case for the term "homophibia". Actually the terms "human being", "baby", and "born" are terms that have been defined exactly as they currently are for a really long time, far longer than Congress has existed. Nothing has been redefined. But there are people trying...

    I agree. I think it needs to be at least 25% better in order to run for multiple companies. I'm sure there are a couple of exceptions, but everyone I have talked to seriously about it is doing either just about as well, or worse than when running for a single carrier. In theory it sounds like...

    Reds. Votto. Grand Slam!

    They are fun to watch. Every night it's somebody different who comes though. Cozart and Phillips turn Web Gen double plays like they're routine. Frazier is the front runner for Rookie of the Year, Cozart isn't far behind him. Ryan Ludwick is the front runner for Comeback Player of the Year, and...

    And yet it's not. Wanting it to be, and wishing it to be, is not the same as it being so. First degree murder is the premeditated unlawful killing of a human being. In order for your assertion to be true, we have to redefine certain terms to mean something very different than they are currently...

    What would you do? Makes me sick just thinking about it.

    Excellent. Now, how about the pool? Do women pee in the pool, too?

    First, it's a shame you deleted that post. It has a couple of points that merit discussion. Second, equating a FedEx truck with a Lamar billboard is an incorrect analogy, because Lamar has certain protections with them being a publisher that FedEx would not have as a motor carrier with freight...
