  1. The Niners offense was a cause for concern last year, so it wasn't as big of a deal. It's the defense that has always made them a top team. That being said, they sure are hard to root for right now. So much drama around them. I'm having more fun rooting for Derek Carr to have decent games for Oakland, even though his team stinks.
  2. I think I should probably repeat this last bit. THERE ARE 1.6 BILLION MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD. Trying to paint them all with the same brush is ridiculous.
  3. Muslim extremists kill more Muslims than anybody else, so yeah. Sharp_One seems to have little idea what he is talking about. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world.
  4. Excuse me, but could you please explain how exactly releasing a game that has about 95% of the content they planned it having is "cancelling"? Dang. It's not really the first time I've given Double Fine money and been disappointed in the gameplay.
  5. Religions do change, and it clear that Christianity is shifting towards a much more tolerant view of homosexuality. The Bible spends a lot more time condemning greed and the worship of money, but that hasn't stopped all these megachurches from going crazy. But I don't see any evidence to back up your claim that it is a dying religion. It is way too deeply ingrained in local communities to just disappear. I can't walk more than a couple blocks without running into a church.
  6. Plenty of 'moderate' Christians point to the bible when condemning homosexuality. That's basically what is happening in the video.
  7. If you claim that's a widespread believe among conservative Christians, you better back that up. It's an interesting read, but again it's very vague when it comes to actual evidence. First off, every branch of CAIR is independent, so the odds that some branches can be tied to an iman who supports Hamas is fairly likely. For example, I've only had experience with CAIR-California, and it has been nothing but positive. Secondly, this is all about a charity organization that was indicted for providing money to extremists. CAIR, along with 245 other organizations, were listed as unindicted co-conspirators with the charity organization. They were cleared in 2011 of the list by a Federal Appeals Court, which your article conveniently left out. And lastly, read the CAIR website. Is there anything on there that strikes you as extreme? Are their press releases cause for concern? Look at the work they are doing to judge them, rather than vague accusations.
  8. ROFL. You do realize that CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood front, don't you? Read up on taqiyya. I know all about the accusations, and they are baseless. There is literally no evidence to back up that relationship. I have attended CAIR events and spoken with speakers in the past, and they've all been friendly, tolerant, and more interested in education than any agenda. Plus, McCarthyism, look it up.
  9. If you really want moderate voices, go to http://www.cair.com/ and you will see a socially active, tolerant, and educated Islamic group. I tend to go to them for most of my informational needs on Islam.
  10. Skyrim is just fine as a base game, no mods needed for the first playthrough. Oblivion on the other hand, yeesh.
  11. I feel like a chance to make a pun on the word original was lost with the new thread creation.
  12. It would totally interfere with your committed relationship with apathy as well.
  13. It's pretty worth it, they are super cool to watch grow up. Plus we get to corrupt them with all our odd ideas.
  14. When I see people out walking, I don't lambast them for not running. Everyone has their own thing going on.
  15. Rock paper scissors dates back to the Han Dynasty, over 2,000 years ago, so I think it is ok to call it old skool.
  16. So we've learned that sharp one is a capitalist, but not a great one?
  17. I went over this with my students today. Holy moly, there are some big headaches short term when it comes to going independent.
  18. Whoa, so it looks like the Legend of Grimrock folks can do outside stuff. Of course I'll probably complain about being stuck on an island
  19. He was right. On the bright side, we only have 998 years to go before things lighten up!
  20. Yeah, don't argue with the Border Patrol. It should probably be pointed out that the pastor in question is actually the head of one of those hate-group churches that spout nonsense for media attention. Well played Bester. Well played.
  21. Finally had the time to watch this, it was fantastic.
  22. What? Sorry, that's what normal people look like in their late 40's/early 50's.
  23. Sharp_One, I know you are new here, but personally attacking people is simply not acceptable on these forums. Feel free to debate passionately all you want, but name calling is unnecessary. Your post above is a wonderful one until you put that final sentence in. It is much stronger without the ugly attack.
