    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Too much was read into Romo's return and Carolina came into this game with a 14 game streak of wins over almost entirely sub 500 teams. People weren't sure if they were a paper tiger or how well Romo would play. The Vikings are a good team, national spotlight hiccup notwithstanding. Atlanta...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Here's the thing. KC is good, but playing streaky and I don't think going into New England's field would be a three to five point minus for them off the bat. Also, with star players and without star players Brady finds a way to elevate his team, as does Bill on the defensive scheming side. I...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    He had an awful day. Cousins had a better bad day. Just one of those and you had to see the potential going in. I went with the more consistent of the two and it didn't pan out. That's life. So. What have we learned? If you're like me, not much. I'll take my 11-4 going into tonights "Seriously...

    Hey, monkey-boy, I like that one. Great cast before anyone knew who most of them were.

    So far so good. Took a while to get accustomed to the sense of space and the slower movement in the, essentially, "And the Rest" section, but I'm determined to get that part of the joint moving more rapidly as time allows.

    Top Ten Movies By Decade 1930-2010

    Bringing us up to the 1950s and the transition between the idealized Golden Age and the grittier methodology of the 60s and beyond. Stalag 17: William Holden's best (yes, including Sunset Blvd.) is a study in redemption set within the confines of a WWII concentration camp. When two men are...

    Spontaneous Knotting of an Agitated String

    You poor, delusional knotters...I was once bound as you are, a slave to one string theory or another, but now I'm detangled... In fact, I'm so completely over it that I plan on spending many an hour here talking about how over it I am and ridiculing twiners who insist on stringing others along.

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Offensive line woes. When they're not getting it done the running game disappears and even a mobile qb can't buy time for down field throws, his accuracy suffers and, past a point, he's so intent on getting the ball out that he stops making the best reads. It all begins up front...also, Lacy...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    I'm heading into the weekend 3-0 agains the line on Pickskin Pick'em. 1. Philly went into Detroit as a .5 favorite. I liked the Lions as a 2 pt upset. Well, they did a bit better than that but anything in the win column was welcomed. 2. Carolina was a .5 favorite on the road. I had them by 6...

    Top Ten Movies By Decade 1930-2010

    The 1940s picked up where the 30s left off in more ways than chronologically, with a spate of extraordinary films of which I’ve chosen my favorite ten. 1. It’s a Wonderful Life: Jimmy Stewart’s best and a Christmas classic about a man who doubts the value of his life and learns the truth about...

    Top Ten Movies By Decade 1930-2010

    I'm going to post my favorite movies in a given decade and invite anyone to chime in or comment. 1930s: a great decade for film. Some find the theatrical element of presentation offputting. The "realism" of the 60s forward have skewed expectations, but I think people who aren't open to...

    Why dont Christians kill their childrens immediately after they baptize them?

    The problem with this sort of question is that it mostly leads to the underlying assumption that the inquirer is a) a sociopath (see: a girl spys the man of her dreams at a funeral of a family member and though he's gone before she can find out who he is she just knows they'll meet again) or b)...

    Why dont Christians kill their childrens immediately after they baptize them?

    Don't know who "he" is, but I did. Thou shalt not murder. No matter how good you feel about it, no matter what twisted rationale is proffered for it, what he's advocating in hypothetical is murder and that's contrary to the law and purpose of God, if you're a Christian. I'm reasonably certain...

    Certainty or doubt?

    If you were sure it was doubt how could you live with yourself?

    Why dont Christians kill their childrens immediately after they baptize them?

    Sure. We don't live in decades. We live by moments. No matter what your age your experience of it isn't future or past tense. You may carry the imprint of decades, but that's not where you're found. You've already had an answer on the morally problematic notion of murder as virtue. Beyond that...
