Not to nitpick but this is not exactly the case. Literally, "atheism" is derived from the Latin word "theismus" (meaning the belief in the existence of at least one deity) and the Latin prefix "a" (which means "without"). Therefore, the specific definition of the English word "atheism" means...

I don't know what great hordes of men about which you speak who behave in such a manner or speak in such ways but don't throw all of us into that pot, Mariah. Makes you a bit of a misandrist, no? :dunno:

Well, I notice that no one has put a a thread debating this so....it must be as you say. :D

This occurred about 20 miles from where I live. The cop was an asshole (Trooper Encinia), did everything he could to escalate the situation, intentionally extends a traffic stop that had no probable cause to begin with and threatens her that he will "light her up" if she doesn't get out of her...

I got involved in this same discussion in another thread several months ago and nearly was eaten alive by radical militant atheist extremists. They really get pissed if you even suggest that their "belief system" might qualify as a religion. At the end of the day, I really don't give a fuck if...

Not to be a stickler on verbiage (I have an English *****), but when you leave for residence in another country, it's "to emigrate". As a new arrival in a nation from which you emigrated, it's "to immigrate". ***** point but one that drives me nuts (I'm weird about detail stuff like this so...

You serious? Dude, I live in Texas. Everyone says "y'all", even the transplants. Now, if you're talking about a larger group than just a few, the proper verbiage is "all y'all". Oh yeah, I am totally fluent in Texican. :thumbsup::1orglaugh

Just to update everyone, I drove through the Bastrop area today with Jade Helm underway and in full swing and no sign of a military takeover of Texas was to be seen. I mean, Dairy Queen was open and everything so....:dunno...

After this, next subject up is "Websites that Debunk Easter Bunny".

This is my dilemma as well. Is the proposed deal perfect? Not even close. However, under the agreement, the sanctions are going to be lifted by the other nations who have signed onto it so, sure, we can take our ball and go home, but then what? No oversight on the Iranians at all? Let their...

I think this would be a great addition to any curricula. If one happens to be a psych major with an intention to do social work involving those living with disabilities, this class would be a very appropriate fit. Likewise, the aforementioned "African-American studies, women and gender...

Wow....didn't know that! Thanks for the heads-up, Ice. I'll 86 it right away. You mentioned a Chrome substitute....there is also a Mozilla add-on called "video without flash" that has been recommended so I will give that one a shot. Thanks again! :thumbsup:

Sorry, but I haven't had any issues other than occasional duplicate address conflicts. A simple (although inconvenient) reboot usually solves that problem. Not a computer geek so please explain in layman's terms exactly why I don't want this on my computer. Thanks.

My wife's home-made chicken and dumplings with fried okra on the side and Fredericksburg peach cobbler for dessert. Best meal possible.

Yes, I use Flash.

There are exceptions, I reckon. For me, the general rule works pretty well.

Maybe Mr. Houser felt that he was being part of the militia? He certainly seemed bent on guaranteeing his freedoms (at least from his perspective....there is no qualifier in the constitution for this). Legally, I don't see how his right to bear arms can be challenged. English teachers aren't...

Well, he was within his constitutionally-guaranteed right to possess that *** according to the verbiage of the second amendment: According to this provision, no one should be denied their legal right to possess firearms....period. That's how I read it at least.

God only knows what prompted this mentally-deranged individual to stand up and start shooting at random in a Lafayette, LA theater last night where he ****** 2 young women and wounded 9 others before turning the *** on himself as police officers closed in on the scene. Another ********* act of...

-edit- Double goddamed post!

This thread will die if I don't keep adding Texas contributions to it and maybe that's OK but it ain't happening yet! This is a classic Texas song done by the great Bobby Bare and written by the equally great Terry Allen. Has been covered by many artists, including Robert Earl Keen. Bobby's...

I **** to be a buzzkill but I couldn't tell you the last time I ate boxed cereal. First off, it's expensive as hell. Have you checked out the prices they want for a box of Froot Loops these days? (Over $4 for a 21-oz box last time I looked at Wal-Mart) :eek: Additionally, the stuff is so...

In my experience, the smarter your bedmate is, the better the sex. I had a very short fling in college with a gorgeous little cupcake with a body to die for but she was as dumb as a box of rocks. She might have been the deadest fuck I ever experienced. I've had better times jerking off than...

OK....I guess we just can't find them then. Need better fish-finders maybe? :dunno: Not sure what you exactly mean by "being responsible" but don't at all disagree in basic principle with that concept as a means to a solution in order to prevent an ecological disaster....never mind a...

The aquaculture industry is growing by leaps and bounds so that helps a bit but, yeah, environmental reasons are significant but the further truth is we've overfished the oceans to the point where there's really nothing appreciable left. Hence, the need for aquaculture. Talapia, anyone...

Don't forget the McChickenhead! You want fries with that? http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17joeh9g9g28ajpg/original.jpg

Might as well have simply made this the "Texas Music Thread", XF. Doesn't appear to me that too many other geographical areas are making a very good case for themselves. In the meantime....more classic Texas music needs to recognized. Not only is Billy Joe Shaver a musical genius, his late...

Not to mention them splashing the Raptor. Maybe we can bankrupt the Russian military budget by ******* them to continuously copy our mistakes. http://www.migflug.com/jetflights/sukhoi-t-50-pak-fa-a-copy-of-the-us-f-22.html

Great reference, Ice. And Fox's retrospective point about the F-4 is spot on....an obsolete aircraft from the day it was built. The F-35 is a total boondoggle, white elephant, whatever you want to call it. At least they finally got the Osprey to assume a practical application....even though...

I wonder if you can. No reason to go into hysteria. A brotherhood of man.

Yeah, me too but you are a quite a bit more of an asshat than I am methinks (I wasn't even nominated!). BTW, Will should have won in a landslide....Fly's unabashed campaign to solicit votes undoubtedly cost Will his duly-deserved crown as Asshat of the Fucking Year! Maybe we should grant him a...

Thanks for the rep, Johnny!!

Surely you jest, Johnny. The congress' affinity for deciding to do nothing (and that includes democrats for sure but since the republicans have held the recent majority, who should take most of the blame?). Despite Obama's obvious lack of leadership and inability to create compromise (to me...

Not being egotistical but I think I answered this question definitively and adequately. If you (or anyone) disagrees with what I stated, let's hear it.

The highlight part of your statement is more to my point. One can quote the Bible or Quran to justify damned-near anything they are already predisposed to believe. http://islam.about.com/cs/jesus/f/christians.htm Then they should be demonstrative enough to make themselves newsworthy...

May our thoughts and prayers be with their ****** and friends. The Muslim extremists claim martyrdom on their behalf. If their Allah is the same God who reigns over all (and I am not at all convinced that's the case but let's imagine it is for the time being), how can the sacrifice of the...

A few more....

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to xfire again. Dude....Texas music is in my *****!

A regional restaurant chain that features its own array of microbrews has hit an absolute home run with this red Irish ale: http://www.bjsrestaurants.com/bj-beers/beers/bjs-jeremiah-red%C2%AE Check it out if there's a BJ's in your area. It's worth it for sure! :thumbsup: :****:

Sinatra's My Way would be awesome. :eek:

Thanks Adam....sorry, GE. Didn't notice your previous thread. At less than 20kbps, it's going to take awhile for all the data to be transmitted back to earth. In the meantime, here's a look at a small segment of Pluto's surface that surprised scientists with its young and evolving group of...

My opinion on it hinges almost completely on the details of the inspections. I've hear comments from the talking heads today that ranged from the requirement of a 14-day notice to the fact that there will be the potential for surprise inspections on a daily basis of any and all facilities...

New Horizons Mission Sending Spectacular Views of Pluto There are supposed to be some really great shots of the fly-by that took place this morning once the uplink is restored tonight. This is awesome....the outermost edge of our solar system. Incredible! Now, we need to refund NASA and get...

Yes, I know this is true. I've followed the saga of his governorship pretty closely. He's well known to be the champion of the Koch Brothers. Not really expecting him to change his rhetoric much unless or until he wins the nomination. At that point, he will have to start assuming some...

I was actually quite impressed with Walker's speech announcing his candidacy. Not the substance mind you (just pandering to the extreme right which is what Trump is ******* him to do....although it was interesting that he never once mentioned immigration in the speech), but that he carries...

I posted this on last Thursday so.... I don't like the way we blew sure-fire wins the past 2 games but we're still in first and have the best record in MLB at the break so not exactly panic-stricken. The Bucs showed a lot of heart and deserved the wins. In the meantime, we can use the time...

Excuse me but where did I state that "things will be fine"? If you are going to quote me, please don't put words in my mouth and then criticize me for things I did not say, OK? Truth is, I don't see the future as being particularly bright for the USA but it's not based on changing...

Thanks for the rep!

Thanks for the rep, Fox!

Buehrle has been a model of consistency for quite some time. Class act is right....and he's a St. Louis native so that makes it all the better!
