A girl I was dating once had a kid with some other guy a few years after we broke up and that was a weird feeling at the time.
Yeah, that is a weird feeling. I was just glad the kid wasn’t mine.
As far as you know. 😉
Unless she was pregnant for four and a half years, it definitely wasn’t. The kid also looks part black.
Trying not to get too optimistic about Korea. On one hand, this would be great for all parties concerned and the world. On the other hand, we had basically the exact same fanfares and promises in 2000 which turned out to just be cover for a half-billion dollar bribe. Hope is appealing, but cynicism is maintaining a slight lead in my head right now.
Yeah, let us not forget Kim Jong Un is the guy who has had multiple people assassinated (that we know about).
And he’s really ugly too.
Almost all of my worst social and mental defects came about when I hit my head as a young teenager.
I’ve never heard anyone refer to Indiana Jones as a “story.” It’s really weird considering that none of the three movies even directly reference the existence of the others.
To some degree, I can not answer some of those follow-up questions in a meaningful way, because
(…)
2) certain answers that readily come to me assume certain truths that people call into question. And I can not convince people of those truths.
(…)True. Though, some people do present themselves as though their opinion is the correct one.
…and that probably also includes me.When you use words like “truths” to describe your beliefs, is it difficult not to think that you present your opinion as the correct one.
It’d be a pretty odd belief if that wasn’t the case tho. I mean believing things are true is sort of why we believe in them 😉
Saying “I believe it is true” is not the same as “I know it is true, I’m 100% sure of that, it is a fact and there are evidences”.
But there are evidences. They just aren’t reproducible in a controlled environment. The fact that you dispute the credibility of those evidences doesn’t make them not evidences.
Having a feeling about something isn’t evidence.

And everybody’s always worried about offending religious people, but a lot of religious beliefs are offensive to me. Generally speaking, no one cares about what offends me, and I’m not asking them to. I just don’t like the abitrary double standard.
And I’ve never once said that anyone on here was dumb or stupid or even wrong for what they believe. In fact, I called out Catbus’s cosmic space duck thing as being pretty insulting to theists. I have, however, been extremely critical of religious figures and idols and that is what supposedly makes people like me bigots.
I don’t like comparing religion and gods to real people.
I think Kirzon loved the woman and Jadzia, still being a Dax, had feelings for her. I wouldn’t call it backpedalling since that was the whole premise of the episode and they did still never comment on the lesbianism as being at all subversive or out of the ordinary.
Yeah, the first lesbian kiss was between Jadzia and another female Trill. It’s very romantic and isn’t even commented on as being out of the ordinary. (Not in the Mirror universe.)
Stop making me defend Religion. I don’t like doing it, but you’re making a very silly comparison.
It isn’t that silly. Some people take their love of the Star Wars prequels very seriously and treat it almost like a religion. I find religion to often be extremely offensive, but I’m expected to treat it with kid gloves.
The only flaw in that is the Kennedy assassination doesn’t mean as much to you as God does to religious people.
Or at least I hope that’s the case.
If it did would you demand my opinions be respected and accommodated?
I have a problem with the notion that religious ideologies deserve respect. No one has any extra respect for my theories on the Kennedy assassination, and they shouldn’t be expected to by the way, but when it comes to my religious views, everyone is suddenly expected to respect my beliefs. I don’t see people’s personally held beliefs as inherently worthy of respect. I don’t think that the Pope is above being raked over the coals for his role in the child rape coverups just because he’s sacred to Catholics. I don’t think the Islamic religion and the so-called “Prophet” Muhammad are worthy of any level respect just because they’re sacred to Muslims. I guess that makes me a bigot 😉
Anakin’s fall to the dark side, I’ts way to rushed, the writing is stupid, Anakin is a silent violent brute which is nothing like Vader, And The Emperor’s makeup looks like total shit!
Are you talking about Anakin cutting off Mace Windu’s hand and then kneeling before the Emperor? I can’t stand that scene either.
Seriously though, for me, for one to say that I ought to be skeptical and realistically more than zero percent uncertain of the existence of God and whether He cares, it is akin to saying I should treat my relationship with my wife as though we barely even met. My relationship has long since evolved past that point, and I’m longing to learn more and grow, and I want to be closer.
I don’t understand this comparison at all.
That’s something I never thought I’d see, at least not in my lifetime.
ash has gotten to a point where he can only communicate through futurama memes
Fortunarama was the Bib Fortuna spinoff of ROTJ.
Quit making fun of the Bible!

Cosby found guilty in criminal sexual assault trial.
You know that’s a bygone era when every president (except Carter) in that picture is now long gone.
Bush is still around.
I think it had something to do with a video I saw with Jay talking about this site. Not sure how I landed there tho?
The People vs. George Lucas I’m guessing.
Mustafar looked mostly okay. If the prequels had told their story effectively then the effects would be forgivable. There are some really crappy effects in Return of the Jedi but the movie is interesting so it’s okay.
I’m going to be completely honest, I can’t complain that an “inconclusive” HIV test disqualifies someone from donating blood. Better safe than sorry. And by the way this is coming from someone who also is barred from donating blood so I know how you feel.
I give blood regularly. Apparently, redcross.org says I’ve donated 42 times.
What does that have to do with my post?
