Lighthouses are more useful that churches. I bought that fitting because I had asked previously after running into a vague comment about them. I thought it was going to work. The knowledge comment was in reference to the "anti-religious" remark. Is common to see that the more you know the less you believe in fairy tales.

I think it is funny to have so many churches use the lighthouse theme when lighthouses are designed to have you steer away from them.

Edit: And the more you study the natural world around you and all of its intricacies, you find evidence of a lack of chance opportunity of creation and more evidence of fantastic design and engineering.

I hate morals.

Im arguing religion, and their boy-fucking-mind controlling bs.

Holy shit.

I just saw Inception. Holy mindfuck. What great screenwriting and directing...the entire movie was just high-quality all around, except sometimes the dramatic music would drown out some speech.

Go see it. You'll be glad you did.

i went out last night and bought Clash of the Titans and borrowed Book of Eli.

Clash of the Titans was pretty good but The Book of Eli was fuckin awesome!

I took this photo around 2000.. crazy.. wonder if they lurk here.

My girlfriend: I can see how women masturbate, but all I can think of is why the hell do I have my finger up my vag.

So I just configured remote access to my laptop via VNC on my HTC Incredible. Yeah, it's pretty badass.

i need to do that so i can do less work at work.

I decided not to move out this year. Sell me some shiiiiiit!

Get a gov't job and do less work at work. Works for me.

Got an Android phone? It's pretty simple.

Oh, you mean the Roman Catholic Church. Yeah, I see where they have run thousands of people away because they 1. Molest children and actively protect and promote molesters 2. Are greedy to the point that they won't baptize you or do anything else for you without a donation (for those who don't know, they also commonly require tax returns to know how much money they will require you to pay to them for the privilege of being a member).

They will have to answer for that.

Many Roman Catholic Churches often don't promote actual individual study of the bible. Knowledge is for the people in charge. They will tell you what is right and wrong and you better not question it.

I have known some very good and honorable priests but I think the organization itself is rotten and corrupt.

Remember kids, religion is the #1 killer of the human race....just look at the Middle-East.

Some folks will always get a little too riled up about anything.

This would have been TREMENDOUSLY nice to know during the World Cup when IT manager decided to kill all streaming video through the servers.

Fucking suck. Missed so many good games, just for fucking work.

WHAT AN ASSHOLE! -NOFX

Don't feel too bad. I don't think the Android VNC viewer refreshes fast enough to be useful for video.

Shit works on my Blackberry and Iphone too. Do eeet!

Sixshooter-There are good and bad people in everything and from everywhere. Is not only the Catholic church, although they take the award on this one. I just dislike the idea that most religions offer the key to salvation by meanings of adopting a doctrine, and thus their ideas. I find it very convenient that unless you accept <Insert name here> as your savior, you will burn in hell. Come on, really?

Most religious people are very prejudiced towards those that don't view things the way they do. Most are unable to respect others beliefs, and often seek conversion into their belief. This prejudice behavior is often encourage by the same congregations, and their priest, pastors, flying spaghetti man, etc...

I believe one must be happy with himself instead of adopting a particular credo with the intention of salvation from eternal damnation. I dont buy the "we hold the key. Join us or perish" idea.

I was born into the Catholic church. I've visited Christian, and other unorthodox congregations and they are all the same bs with different protocols. I just seem to dislike them all :dunno:

Not even close.

War is fought for resources more often than any other reason. That has always been the case. People who dislike religion very often cite this baseless phrase, but it is so far from the truth it is an indefensible assertion. Name a couple of wars fought solely for religion.

What is happening in the Middle East is a land ownership squabble and that is all it is. People cite that they are of different religions but that is an excuse and not the reason. They are of different ethnic and cultural descents and even if they were of the same religion they would be fighting for control of the land.

Attachment 241597

Interesting data.

If we look at mortality in a different way however, then religious wars become quite significant. The Cain vs. Abel war, for instance, wiped out 25% of the known human population of the earth, and was fought entirely on the grounds of the two parties' disagreement vis-à-vis methods and practices of worship.

Wow... is this for realz? I need to check it out.

Regardless, I never did like that guy, or a lot of the other AM talk show types that feed self-serving defecation, labeled as the truth, to a mostly ignorant public. Or, if not ignorant, at least a public that is willing to be polarized (in whatever direction) because being polar is easier than fact finding and debating. And yes they are on all sides of the ongoing political debate so don't start calling me a liberal just because I think Beck is an ass.

he's jesus...

Does oil eat away PCV? I'm making a catch can setup.

heat does.

I doubt the catch can will get up to 300* or 160psi.

Moving sucks.

If America is dumb enough to invest immense sums of money into something they see on TV without understanding how it works, let them. If anyone is dumb enough to see a commercial on TV and think, "Oh wow, I should invest my life's savings/nest-egg into some garbage commercial," then you're too dumb to keep your money. America needs these idiots, unfortunately your government like to bankroll people too stupid to read anything.

However, the right side of that picture is a pretty good run down of how to properly invest in gold...give away 7%, no more.

Thomas Day, a free black man living in North Carolina in the mid 1800s, operated a small woodworking business which manufactured high-end custom furniture.

He owned 14 slaves.

Only in America is slavery associated with racism. During the time that Africans were being brought to America to be sold as slaves, Northern Africans had more Southern Europeans as slaves then Africans were ever brought over to America.

There are also more women in slavery today in the world used as sex workers then the amount of Africans ever brought to America as slaves.

Black Rednecks and White Liberals by Thomas Sowell is a great book if you have an interest in culture.

I have the best sister ever! She bought me an angle grinder and a butterfly knife for my birthday!

Probably wont go to the theater to see it, but it does look funny.

You know what's interesting? On most car forums, one finds that the general consensus about teenagers is that they don't research, don't listen, and just throw a 6" exhaust on their car and call it a day.

Now, I take these things rather personally being 17 myself (And just, at that). What I find though, is that it seems like the older crowd are the ones that don't listen to anything. Case in point with 92_verty or whatever the fuck his name was. That or he was just retarded.

Anyways, yeah... /mini-rant.
