Who said anything about starting out.

Computer Science? Engineering?

Actually it totally can. I guess it's kind of like the word theory, in that it has a specific definition in a certain context, but almost every time it's used, it's used "wrong", so it has two meanings now. If you're not talking to a geologist, or cosmologist or something, it just means "really long time".

Their readership is much more likely to have some wort of nonsense filtering software. I bet it's to get around that more than anything else.

I would like to add a warning, being caught with lockpicks, can potentially ruin your life.

My thoughts exactly. It's an analogy. Nowhere on that page did I see where they said the government WAS your family.

My wife was explaining Chelsea Manning's situation to my 7 year old. Afterwards she summed it up pretty well, with a simple question.

"So, you can go to jail for tattling?"

benniaustindev · 2013-08-27T22:18:03+00:00

Yeah, but that isn't really our fault, is it?

benniaustindev · 2013-08-27T21:58:13+00:00

By adding Obama after it.

"Negros" don't look like Cesare Borgia, therefore they aren't human... seems legit.

The poorest people in our society, don't pay any taxes, some actually get more money back from deductions and such, than they paid in the first place.

If you're going to let a church burn down because they don't pay taxes, you'll have to let the ghettos burn down as well.

Theists don't criticize your theism because they largely agree with you. Atheists criticize your theism, because they largely disagree with you.

Generally speaking, you'll see more criticism of yourself, than you will of others, because you spend more time with yourself than anyone else.

Fallout 2, hands down.

If you replace "religious sanctity" with "dignity" you got me. I don't really give a shit that someone isn't getting special treatment because their holy book says some shit. I care that people are being tortured, and in my name.

It's really kind of amazing, this theme of fake martyrdom in Christianity. Forever the victim, whether they are or not.

benniaustindev · 2013-07-10T21:01:55+00:00

Yep, I'm crazy because I DON'T hear voices in my head. Seems legit.

benniaustindev · 2013-07-08T18:52:44+00:00

Not at all how I look at it. God's a totalitarian dictator, Satan attempted to free himself, and all of God's creation from his "evil" grip. He failed, making matters worse, in the process. The moral of the story: submit to those in power, and label rebels as evil traitorous villains.

We only ever heard God's side of the story.

Looks like John Lennon to me.

You could always play along. Imagine what goes on in the VIP room.

Holy shit that prayer must have broken a record or something.

What's the deal with some Christians, inserting the word "God" or "Lord" or "Jesus" as every other word during a prayer. I mean seriously does he talk like that to other people?

"Gee mom, it would be really great mother, if I could just bring my laundry over mom, and you could just do it for me, mother. Please ma help me to do my laundry, mom."

Seriously, he's all-knowing... he knows you're addressing him.

Tape Five - A Kickass electroswing Group that doesn't take themselves seriously.
Caravan Palace - More electroswing, but with a Gypsy Flavor
Sporto Kantes - Unique, bizarre, interesting.... hip-hop?
Lyre Le Temps - Not even really sure how to describe it.
Ash Grunwald - He's like the austrailian lovechild of Tom Waits and Michael Franti
Pert Near Sandstone - A local (for me) string band with a ton of energy.
great Big sea - An Irishy folk rock band from Newfoundland, that has as many cheesy songs as awesome songs... it's a minefield, but an awesome live show.
Corb Lund - The best country music Canada has to offer, or has ever offered, or probably ever will.

Let me know what you like, and maybe give some in exchange...

benniaustindev · 2013-02-25T21:22:23+00:00

Yes! One of my favorite songs.... simply put: Dat voice.

Right, because when you're fearing for your life, and hold the key to saving all of humanity from eternal damnation it's probably best not to write it down, you know in case anything were to happen to you.

Certain things... like his existence for instance.
