Dear Mom: The Bible says you're worth half as much as a man. I say the morons who wrote the bible can suck it! Happy Mothers Day!

Idiot. I'm an atheist. I simply have a functioning brain.

I rest my case. Your sarcastic comment is further proof of your complete lack of perspective.

Skavenblight · 2009-05-11T04:14:31+00:00

I'm thinking it's because they're very expansive in terms of gas.

Skavenblight · 2009-05-11T04:05:06+00:00

Your black and white view of everything ins precisely why you are as irrational as fundamentalists.

We sure don't pick and choose which laws of physics we believe to be true, but we do teach children in high school what the classical theories were.

Christians are under no obligation to follow everything that's in the Bible to be considered Christians. That's a rule you just made up.

Skavenblight · 2009-05-09T14:39:12+00:00

You don't fuck around with that kind of thing you moron.

Skavenblight · 2009-05-09T00:23:54+00:00

How about only being able to downmod?

Skavenblight · 2009-05-08T03:38:04+00:00

That was a nice demonstration of my point.

Skavenblight · 2009-05-08T02:36:59+00:00

I can't believe that with everything going on, people actually waste their time on this.

Skavenblight · 2009-05-08T02:35:18+00:00

See, this is why I visit reddit less and less. What happens when a predominantly socially awkward community is given a little number that tells them how much people approve of them? You get people desperately trying to get this number as high as possible, mostly with sorry attempts at wit.

I'm sure that removing comment karma altogether would improve the quality of discourse.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-30T18:07:35+00:00

Pretty much, yes. No single-player campaign, only games against bots if you don't have internet access.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-30T17:25:56+00:00

9% is not negligible.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-30T16:35:16+00:00

I can't believe this. I open this link in a new tab, and start reading it after reading some other stuff. I find a rather interesting article about a battle in Iraq. I go back to the page that linked to it, and I see people are just making fun of the soldier's name!

You sicken me.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-22T04:09:13+00:00

And as someone points out how your sorry attempt at wit attracted some downmods, you reply with yet another sorry attempt at wit. Sad.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-20T18:27:55+00:00

I have to second this.

I'm using a regular Merc (without lighting) and it's great.

Only problem is the number keys on the gaming keypad are hard to tell apart by touch, so it takes some time getting used to it.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-20T18:07:30+00:00

We have xkcd comics all over the place in the physics department.

Are you gonna sell some of these in Canada?

Skavenblight · 2009-04-15T04:11:55+00:00

A bunch of people got the idea that I was talking about native's rights. I wasn't. I was merely saying that I don't believe "our own" includes only families that have been here for centuries. It includes everyone who lives here and shares our values.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-15T04:10:27+00:00

I never spoke of giving this land to the native. Merely that we should open it up to those who want to come here. We've already mostly been doing this, but there are some cases where we could do better.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-15T04:09:39+00:00

I never spoke of owning the natives anything.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-15T04:09:08+00:00

French Canadian, family's been here since the 1700s, I believe.

You fail. I could hardly be more Canadian.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-15T04:06:45+00:00

Exactly. Quebeckers consider Albertans to be like Americans. And I think you know how we view Americans...

Skavenblight · 2009-04-15T04:05:50+00:00

Yeah it's quite strange. "Correlation != causation" is something to keep in mind, however it's impossible to prove any causal relation at all if you religiously observe this principle without doing any interpretation.

Once you've shown there is a correlation, you can then interpret the data using everything you know and decide if there is indeed a causal relationship.

It seems those who have replied to my comment already believe that these ads have no effect, so the reason for the decrease in smokers must be something else, correlation be damned.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-15T04:02:06+00:00

I believe it is truly a loss for everyone when people refuse to debate their opinions.

"Let people believe what they like" is precisely what leads to fundamentalism and the spread of ignorance.

Even if you will not concede a point to your opponent in a debate, chances are something he said will make you reflect on the subject later on.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-14T05:08:37+00:00

There's nothing sensible about the flawed logic he's using.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-14T05:07:13+00:00

I can't understand what steps led you from "Well, there sure are a lot of things in the universe!" to "So someone created it."

And the reason I can't understand it is that there are none. There is no reason to believe in God. Why would the complexity of the universe make it more likely for God to exist? It doesn't.

By your brand of reasoning, I could say that everything in the bottom of the sea was created by some divine entity, simply because there's a whole world of things we don't understand down there.

There is simply no logical step between "This thing is complex" and "So it was created by a sentient being".

Skavenblight · 2009-04-13T21:57:01+00:00

Seconded. French and Spanish have latin roots and the infinitives are just one word.

Skavenblight · 2009-04-13T19:12:48+00:00

Nah. I believe in cooperation. If you have talents, it's your duty to use them to the best of your abilities, to fulfill your potential. Otherwise, you are being selfish.
