    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    That's okay, if you take a BA in the South you can use an English major as the second language qualification...so I understand. It's a good one. I love it in deliberate use, though it's also one of the most frequently misapplied words you'll run into. Hackneyed is another good one that doesn't...

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    Only if English isn't your first language. Otherwise, "Do you still beat your wife?" is, after a fashion, a straightforward question, in as much as it has the appropriate punctuation at the end; but it begins with the assumption, undemonstrated, that the person being asked at one time did an...

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    You could ask me if I still beat my wife. They'd both have the same problem in flawed and assumptive premise.

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Thought I'd merge them. Make it easier for either of us to gloat. Week 9 Predictions Summed The Bengals at home should be good for 30ish, so the line may be tight. But I'll stay with the Dalton boys at home and fidgit over the points later. Bengals. Carolina has been scoring nearly 30 pts a...

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    No, but every ******* [an actual animal that for some reason terrifies the machinery here] you meet has an opinion on it anyway.

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    Again, clinging is your interjection/judgment. It isn't a necessarily true statement, except as an expression of your bias, which I'd be as happy to help you let go of as the "lol" habit and casual, playfully destructive attitude of personal gratification at the prospect of damaging something of...

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    So you think stagnant is a good thing? Clinging? Far gone in substance? Because I'd suggest you approach anyone you know and describe whatever it is they believe strongly with those very terms and see what their responses are...it might be educational. The worst approach to a broad truth is...

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    Fair enough then. I hope you broaden your considerations at some point then. But we can evaluate, examine how we approach our opinion and whether or not that approach is rooted in objectivity or colored by a natural bias...consider our methodological inclinations, if you would. This much...

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    Rather, I met a blunderbuss conclusion with the suggestion that you should be as encompassing in your consideration of alternative premises. I get that's how you feel about it. I just don't think you've supported it with argument.

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    I pick odds up out of ESPN early and I follow the betting line through Oddsshark. How'd I miss your predictions? Anyway, thanks for chiming in everyone. Should be an interesting weekend in the NFL.

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    You're assuming that context. What if religion is a response to a realization instead. Maybe the problem is, again, in your approach. If God is and one's faith and approach is more a reflection of the belief in that reality then it isn't about God "standing over us". If history is prelude then...

    Legal arguments against homosexual marriage

    Haven't read a legal argument against gay marriage that didn't appear to be a thin covering/justification for a purely religious valuation. To me it's always been a contract issue. If you want to interfere with two consenting adults entering into the contract of marriage with the state you'd...

    Role of lawyers and judges

    Talking about the law with some laymen is like arguing property with a communist or taxes with someone who considers it theft. There's no real context for meaningful discourse. That said, here goes... A lawyer is an advocate, a protector of the rights of his client and, less directly, the laws...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Week 9 Predictions 1. Cle @ Cin: the line is Bengals and huge 10.5, while the money is 54/46 for the cover. Cleveland has mostly scored around 20 points in a game and given up more. The Bengals at home should be good for 30ish, so the line may be tight. But I'll stay with the Dalton boys at...

    Yeah. It's not as easy to work from your profile page. And there are too many forum subsets for me. I wonder if that has a way of fragmenting the community. Not sure. I don't have a real feel for the place, though it doesn't seem as immediate and responsive as the other digs. I'm going to figure...

    Well, if you happen back around you can help me figure this place out. I see you aren't following me, but that's no way to stand out.

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    I think it's more likely to be a front office fine/penalty and maybe a low draft pick given the Colts position on the Pats and their play to the "integrity of the shield" in making it. It has given me a little more respect for Luck and understanding why his play has been so problematic of late...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    It varies. A simple fine would be the lightest outcome; a fine along with a draft pick and suspensions for some involved would constitute the other end of that spectrum. There's a great deal of latitude and much of it will depend on who knew what and when.

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Well, let's just say "an end" and meet in the middle. This could be more fun that Cats as a tv series.
