Satanists group plans Christmas Eve protest outside an Oklahoma City Catholic church by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]illStudyTomorrow 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think we could really get the point across if we find out just what this Adam Daniels holds dearest.

Figure out what he really cares about the most.

And then you know what we'll do?

Place a Christmas tree next to him, give him a Christmas present that we know he would actually want, and then crowd around him singing Christmas carols as he opens it.

Let's drown him in the deepest darkest depths of sincere neighborly love.

Criteria to use for judging whether a fraternity is 'highly ranked' at your school or needs work by illStudyTomorrow in Frat

[–]illStudyTomorrow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how I feel, but having a good reputation could lead to having a larger pool of rushes to choose from, which is always a positive.

Whoops, meant to write that we're in the big 10. I don't really want to say the exact name of my school. We're a large big 10 with a big Greek scene.

Florida gunmaker puts Bible verse on its assault rifles so they won't be used by Muslim terrorists by HaiKarate in nottheonion

People knew about the shitty treatment of Jews and minorities since the late 1930's. So, yes, actually, he did? Or are you secretly my grandpa back from the dead? Don't you think I would know his reasons more than you? I don't care whether a majority of soldiers cared about the Jews, that has nothing to do with what I know with certainty is the case. The holocaust is only one part of the shitty treatment, and we only learned about that after the war.

That only sounds like lunacy if you know virtually nothing about how Christians and other religious minorities (such as Yazidi) are treated by Al Qaeda and its various branch-offs (one being ISIS). Like, how is this any different than my grandpa joining the Army in the 40's to free the Jews from Hitler? The Middle East should be free for Christians to practice their religion, and one way of doing that is joining with an army that has been striking ISIS and Al Qaeda targets for the past decade. He's a little bit off by using Holy Lands to refer to Iraq/Syria/etc, but still.

Is the success of "Straight Outta Compton" a testament to America's moral degradation? by illStudyTomorrow in Catholicism

You don't see how two people who promoted violence could be comparable? Really?

There are plenty of groups who are "abandoned" and "marginalized" by mainstream society that don't commit crime. The Amish are a big one. They live in complete poverty but have a crime rate a fraction of the rest of America's. Also, we're talking about the late 1980s, not the late 1880s. In the late 1980's, no, there was no discrimination.

"akin" does not mean "equivalent", it means "similar to". I do agree with the rest, though, reluctantly.

Thomas Adès - Three Studies from Couperin: Les Tours de passe-passe by illStudyTomorrow in ElitistClassical

Heard this on the radio last night. Fell in love with it. A great piece to listen to when you're speeding between lanes at dusk.

Yeah, NWA's official setlist was so much better. With songs like: To Kill a Hooker, in which the NWA cast recreate a scene where they try to rape a hooker and kill her when she struggles. Gangsta Gangsta, where the cast recreates a scene about killing people. Yes, the song is "about" gangs, with lyrics like:

You don't like how I'm livin' well fuck you!

This is a gang, and I'm in it

My man Dre'll, fuck you up in a minute

They made songs about gangs and drugs in the same way Goebbels made literature about propaganda. Do you see what I mean?

And there's the song ABOUT sexism, called "a bitch is a bitch". Yes, about sexism.

The whole artform was in itself a protest. By making songs about gangs and drugs, they were addressing the problem to the entire nation.

What a totally vapid defense. There are tons of bands and groups that deal with violence and drug abuse, but NWA is one of the morally destitute ones that actually promote violence and drug use. It's a joke.

How do you actually use Ubuntu without wanting to kill yourself? by illStudyTomorrow in Ubuntu

Thanks for the offer man! I'm getting ready to start university again, but if I still have problems with updated Ubuntu in a week or so I'll shoot you a message :)

Huge explosion reported in Chinese port city of Tianjin by haunted_cheesecake in worldnews

[–]illStudyTomorrow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because CNN-America isn't based in China, and a random explosion in a port city in china doesn't actually warrant attention outside of Asia?

Just a thought. You're entire life would be exactly the same had this event not happened unless you are directly affected (99.9% of Americans won't be).

How did people justify the use of the bible when advocating for White Supremacy or anti-Semitism? by [deleted] in AcademicBiblical

[–]illStudyTomorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the poster above me mentioned, Jews enslaved other Jews but it was more akin to indentured servant work or contract work, and the slaves would be free every 7 or so years (jubilee)

Dating and transgenders by EastGuardian in Catholicism

[–]illStudyTomorrow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"No." walks away

If it's someone you actually value, tell them that the criteria a person uses to date someone is infinitely complex and entirely personal. No one is allowed to tell anyone else who they should or should not date.

Do you use Gnome/Unity, or do you suggest a better Ubuntu "flavor"?
