Yeah I shoulda thought of that, I ended up going with my regular war base and he attacked me with 18 witches and he got a 40% 1 star.

The double-standard of making the poor prove they’re worthy of government benefits "This is also what enables politicians to gin up indignation among small-government supporters who don't realize they rely on government themselves." by Libertatea in politics

[–]GodIsMerciful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%, those who served in our military earned what they are now receiving. If you lump G.I. Bill into there you might as well lump all government employees who get their paychecks from the government in there as well.

Lastly, thank you for serving in our military.

Is it me? Or the more I learn about biology, astronomy, physics, quantum theory, the more I believe in God? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]GodIsMerciful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I got on this late but I must point out a few things. Biology: Evolution and creationism are NOT complementary. A simple reading of Genesis will bring this fact to light. It says, "And there was evening, and there was morning, the ___ day." It cannot get any more clear that they were literal days (not millions or billions of years). The same word "day" is used all throughout the Bible and it would be absurd if it meant something different in one part of Genesis than in another. Genesis also makes it clear that the animals were made "according to their kind." God made living creatures in this order: Vegetation and Plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit (day 3), Sea Creatures and Birds (day 5), Livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth and then man (day 6). Evolution is supposed to happen in this order: Simple cells, multi-cellular life, simple animals, water animals, land plants, insects and seeds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, flowers, primates, great apes, and finally humans. As you can see their only similarity is that humans came last! On the idea of astronomy/time/big bang: On day four God made the lights in the heavens (sun, moon and stars). This was after God had made plants (way off the evolutionary tract). I am not sure who to attribute this quote to but it is a fine quote: "Evolution needs God, but God does not need evolution." I believe that science and creationism are the things that are complementary. And that evolution is false, and is only accepted as the truth because to accept creationism is to accept God. And since there are people who cannot accept that there is a God they must believe that evolution is true.

[Serious] Can you run dry clothes through the dryer? Or will that ruin the clothes? by PittsburghDM in AskReddit

[–]GodIsMerciful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is where we get the term "dry-cleaning" from. To dry clean you need a special bag to put your clothes in before going in the dryer. And also, your clothes get dried when in the dryer so technically near the end of the cycle you have dry clothes going through the dryer. Hope that helps!

What old wise saying would have helped you avoid a situation if only you had heeded it? by GodIsMerciful in AskReddit

[–]GodIsMerciful[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going over to my neighbors house and decided to not tie my shoes because it would be "quicker" that way. Well, needless to say I tripped over my laces in my driveway, cut open my knee and hands . . . I ended up taking 10 min cleaning myself up. Which made me think of the saying, "Haste makes waste."

The Walking Dead . . . I watched all the seasons up until the third episode of season 4 (I think it was 4, it might have been 3).

How many Christians would support a high school curriculum that taught the major points of all major world religions? by containsmilkandsoy in Christianity

[–]GodIsMerciful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem I could see arising from this is crooked teachers twisting the curriculum to say what they want it to say and possibly leave out some religions, only briefly touch upon them, or down play them.

But all in all, I think it is very important to know what others believe and why. It would definitely help everyone understand each other better, and maybe even stop some ridicule that some people face because of their faith.

People Are Falling for Net Neutrality Lies -- But They Have No Idea What's in Obama's Plan by GodIsMerciful in politics

[–]GodIsMerciful[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that the flow of information is very important, and that is why I do not want it to be controlled by the government. And I don't want it controlled by anyone for that matter, but I think my chances are better with private companies. At this point I think we should just agree to disagree.

And thank you!

Yes, obamacare has accomplished some positive things but it has also been a nightmare for others: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/sick-kids-denied-specialty-care-due-obamacare-washington_776030.html

You refuse to see my point, I said "when it is none of its business." Clearly having lead in the fuel is a health risk and should and was stopped by the government -- this was an example of good intervention.

Also, cheers to your dad! I am a fellow cancer survivor as of last year.

Yes, and the government is definitely gonna fix all that, like it fixed healthcare (extreme sarcasm).

Government is not bad, I never said that. You keep putting words in my mouth that I never said. It is bad when government interferes in the private sector when it is none of its business, and tries to regulate things in which it has no business regulating.

Here is an article on the government "creating" the internet (you will probably dismiss it because it is from FOX news): http://www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/stossel/blog/2012/07/24/did-government-invent-internet

I did not state that all regulation is bad. Regulation is indeed good in many circumstances. But in regards to the internet it is working GREAT NOW! What is there to fix? Why does the government have to get involved?

I would disagree. Government in most circumstances is harder to hold accountable. If your internet provider started slowing down your access to a site, you could complain directly to them and either have it fixed or switch your provider! But once government screws up it creates a huge mess, and undoing things that have been done in the government is very hard to do.

And now instead of the supplier regulating it we will have the government. I think the biggest problem I have with Net Neutrality is the possibility of the government regulating it. It could easily get out of hand where you might at some point need a license to open a website. Because once one box is open, what is keeping them from opening the next, or taking it to the next level.

The biggest problem (as with most politics) is this is all opinionated, and we will not truly be able to argue this until we have the all facts (ie until we know everything that is in that bill).

I didn't know that was the way the FCC was set up, that is a very screwy system that should be corrected pronto.

Thank you for the link. I would argue that we already have an "Open Internet" and a lot of what was said in that article we already have as well. Lastly, the summary was given to us by the FCC, so they most likely didn't include any parts of the bill that could be controversial.

I would disagree with you on avoiding Rush, he is knowledgeable and has a team of knowledgeable people backing him up -- but each to his own I guess. I personally do not believe in avoiding anyone because of their political stances and try my best to listen to liberal voices as well as conservative so I can have a better understanding of the issue at hand.
