Haha, someone using Alexander the Great as an example of straights beating homosexuals militarily. They might be missing a few crucial details about some of Alexander's lovers that change the tone of that matchup.

Researchers� Stunning Claim About Noah�s Ark Might Surprise You
As biblical literalists and skeptics continue the debate over whether Noah truly built a massive ship that saved his family from a catastrophic global flood, researchers now say that at least one element of the story is scientifically plausible.

Masters-level students at Leicester University�s Department of Physics and Astronomy in England examined the ark�s dimensions as described in Genesis 6:13-22 and came to a stunning conclusion.

�University of Leicester students show Noah�s ark would have been strong enough to carry pairs of each animal species,� proclaims a statement on the university�s website.

It�s crazy how Science has Never disprove anything from the Bible, but the contrary happens frequently.
An example is the �Flat Earth� model of old. Scientists insisted the Earth was flat, YET the Bible states in Isaiah 40:22 that the earth is round, also in Job 26:7 that God �Hangs the earth on nothing� meaning the Earth is suspended in space.
Another interesting bit is Science has insisted that the Red Sea crossing was impossible. http://www.arkdiscovery.com/red_sea_crossing.htm What do you think?
Stories like this are commonplace, but aren�t widely shared because it doesn�t fit the �anti-God� model.
The Bible confirms True Science everywhere, and yet people try to use false science to disprove the Bible.

Yes. As a matter of fact, I do consider the Bible to be a scientifically accurate source of information. It was written by Someone who was around long before some of today�s �scientists� who base their views on anti-God philosophies. When considering the feasibility of Noah�s ark, numerous factors are overlooked or ignored. Example; the number of animals that went into the ark is most likely way lower than a lot of people think. There were not the number of sub-species and variations we see today. (consider all the dog breeds developed within the last century or two.)

In ancient Greece there was an elite unit that was encouraged to be all homosexual, the Theban Sacred Band. How�d that go? Not too good! Phillip II, Alexander the Great�s father, wiped them all out in the battle of Chaeronea (338 B.C.).

That is the only example I need to know that gays in the military aren�t a good idea.

Yes, it's probably 70/30 in favor of the Kochs, but support for them and other right-wing plutocrats is drawn mostly by mindless freeper tribalism rather than a real Objectivist-style zillionaire worship.

He had been under fire for supporting anti-gay marriage legislation in California in 2008.
Some Mozilla employees had been calling for his resignation on Twitter for the past week.
Dating site OkCupid changed its home page so that if someone using Firefox came to it, it would tell them about Eich and suggest they switch browsers.

It�s entertaining, the animation is decent, and the dialogue is actually pretty witty for adults. I don�t know why it�s blown up to be this huge hipster thing, but the show itself is better than most of the drek passing for cartoons nowadays.

To: Perdogg; All
First of all, I'm a brony, and I'm not one bit ashamed. Second of all, I'm to the right of everyone here. I'm a Theocrat and a Theonomic positivist on a site that worships eighteenth century enlightenment rationalists like Thomas Jefferson. Furthermore a couple weeks ago I met with a small group of fellow bronies who were all right wing fundamentalist chr*stians. You folks who think you know the political orientation of all fans of a television show are acting like idiots.

I've been a cartoon fan my entire life. For a while there cartoons were pretty bad. However, recently cartoons have become very intelligent and clever. Unfortunately, accompanying this has been the addition of crudities which would not have been tolerated a few years ago.

"Friendship is Magic" combines the best of both worlds. It has all the intelligence of so many contemporary cartoons with none of the crudities. No farting. No references to mucus or any such thing. It's one hundred percent family friendly. And there's nothing political on it. I have no doubt whatsoever that the people who make the show are 99.999% liberals, but there is no liberalism or political ideology whatsoever on the show. It's fun, it's innocent, it's intelligent, and it's very entertaining. What's wrong with watching a show you like? I personally have no idea whatsoever what is so appealing about football (baseball's my game), but do I go on rants about how brutal and stupid I think football is? To each his own.

The brony community, whatever their political orientation may or may not be, is extremely talented. The musicians certainly have more talent than Lady Ka-Ka or whatever her name is. The videos, art, comics, and fiction is first rate. I am currently in the process of reading a series of fan fics that could have been written by Tolkien. This stuff is unbelievable! I wish I had that much talent.

Yes, there are some freaks in the community, just as there are in all communities. But to shoot off your big bazoo about how "conservatives" are appalled at bronies is to pick an unnecessary fight and insist on a point of conservative "orthodoxy" no different from the people who say that conservatives "must" support smoking, or those who used to say that "true conservatives" had to be opposed to Israel.

The show harms no one. It isn't liberal (even if it is made by liberals). It's just a nice little cartoon show with a creative and dedicated fan base that spans the political and religious spectrums (and whose producers are very supportive of their fans). It has nothing whatsoever to do with being a Democrat or supporting Barack Obama . . . absolutely nothing. That idea exists only in the minds of some anti-bronies (and some leftist bronies).

I suppose it was only a matter of time before some "true conservative" tried to label me a "leftist" because I prefer FIM to all the idiocy elsewhere on television. I'm facepalming, people. I'm facepalming big time.

I'm a brony. Live with it or get bent.

My adult teen daughter has recently become somewhat re-interested in my little pony, after getting rid of all her ponies.

WOrse, my teenage son is into the show now, watching it online all the time. BTW, I will point out that the show is hilarious, and as a humor show is clean, positive, and much better than most of what kids could waste their time watching on TV. OK, that�s a small consolation, but still.

Funny story. My son was on a school trip for robotics, and had his own food so he didn�t go with the guys for dinner. One guy came back to the hotel room early, and caught my son on the computer, watching �My Little Pony� episodes. The kid asked what he was doing, and my son for a minute thought it would be less embarrasing to say �watching porn�.

For the record, I prefer his choice over that alternative. And also it seems no more useless than his watching YouTubes of other kids playing video games. Or me re-watching the entire �Quantum Leap� series.

I must also admit that I am one of those people who was perennially bullied in school. I have on occasion read the assertion that bullies are "normal" red-blooded American boys while their victims are crybaby socialist faggots who wind up leeching off the sweat of hard-working Americans while they spend their lives noshing on Doritos and voting for Obama. And gee whiz . . . I'm not a socialist, a human being, or even like Doritos, and I've never voted for a single Democrat in my entire life! Excuse me, but I thought we were the side of the political spectrum that defended "useless eaters" from the death panels and regarded people as people, even if they are pre-born or have Down's syndrome. I had no idea that "true conservatives" were social Darwinists or into eugenics!

Nobody ever says, �I�m an auto mechanic. Live with it or get bent.�

Nobody ever posts threads attacking auto mechanics on web sites like Free Republic, accusing them of being inherently liberal, un-American, or implying there is no place in the conservative movement for such people, even when the auto mechanics are Democrat union goons.

See what I mean???

You just called me a "pervert." And I'm deviant because I actually respond to your outrageous personal insult directed against someone you don't know from Adam? How dare I?

I think you read too much into stuff. The simple fact of the matter is that adult men enjoying a show target marketed to little girls is odd. Doesn�t mean we think you�re gay or not conservative, or hate it or you. But it is odd. Odd happens, most everybody is a little odd on something. Some odds are a little more odd than other odds though. And in this day and age of Toddlers in Tiaras all oddness that is at all associated with little girls gets a bit of a higher raised eyebrow than other oddness. Might not be fair, but life isn�t fair.

No, of course it isn't perfectly normal, it is art. Perfectly normal mostly isn't art; though the best definition of art I have seen appears to be "whatever you can get away with".

I find Japanese animation generally interesting. They seem to like to trade lower frame rates for higher detail in the frames. And the big eyes are very attractive.

I've never seen an episode of MLP. There was an anime series I was following for a while called _Gunslinger Girls_ about a group of pre-pubescent girls being trained and used as assassins by the government. I liked it rather a lot, especially the music. Perhaps that would be more to your taste.

Sometimes feel like you�re the only conservative in the Universe?
Do you get all of your news and commentary from one or two sources and find that the vast majority of your interactions with other conservatives is through crappy forum postings?
DO YOU SOMETIMES GET DEPRESSED THAT LIBERALS HAVE A LOCK ON THE VAST INFORMATION RESOURCE THAT IS THE INTERNET?

THEN READ ON FOR SOME EXCITING NEWS!

Dear FRiend:
My name is Dean Sueck (rhymes with Buick. It�s been mangled before ) Many of you know me from FreeRepublic as HeartlandOfAmerica. I�ve been a professional computer consultant/programmer for over 30 years; since earning my Comp. Sci. degree in 1984. I�ve worked for companies large and small since then, helping them to overcome some of their knottier computer problems. For the past several years, I�ve wondered how I could turn my skills to helping the conservative cause and I believe I�ve found it.
I�ve created a piece of software that allows YOU to hit over 125 conservative sites and you can even add 40 of your favorites into the software! This is a true web browser created specifically with conservatives in mind. It has a built-in web browser, so if you hit the FoxNews button, the site instantly loads into the built-in web browser where you can go through the site or right click and open the site in a new window.
It consists of 8 screens with 40 buttons on each screen = 320 sites stored in one place making you literally a single click away from any of the sites in the browser. Once you load the program, you�re so close to 40 sites that all of the time you lose is the site load time which is generally less than ten seconds.

Yes. As a matter of fact, I do consider the Bible to be a scientifically accurate source of information. It was written by Someone who was around long before some of today�s �scientists� who base their views on anti-God philosophies. When considering the feasibility of Noah�s ark, numerous factors are overlooked or ignored. Example; the number of animals that went into the ark is most likely way lower than a lot of people think. There were not the number of sub-species and variations we see today. (consider all the dog breeds developed within the last century or two.)

Holy poo poo, an evolutionist! BURN HIM.

Though he did attempt to use evolution as a proof for Noah's Ark, but still.

A True Story
By
Lazamataz

It was dark. Things moved fast. I could never say for sure who was ultimately responsible, but I always suspected the dwarf. There was something about his sinister grin that unnerved me.

I saw a shape move through the fog. Moving stealthily, I unholstered my shoulder-weapon. In the distance, a dog barked.

I came upon the corpse unexpectedly. The corpse exuded the irresistible aroma of a piquant, ancho chili glaze enticingly enhanced with a hint of fresh cilantro and a light hint of dillweed as it lay before me, coyly garnished by a garland of variegated radicchio and caramelized onions, and impishly drizzled with glistening rivulets of vintage balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic oil, accompanied by a melange of seasonal mushrooms which were sauteed with garlic, shallots and thyme and fiddlehead ferns, which were sauteed with a subtle lemongrass vinaigrette. A faint odor of roasted swiss cheese and -- impetuously added -- a dash of white wine worchestershire sauce accompanied the tumeric smell of salmon and diced green peppers. I was aware that in all likelihood the salmon had been baked, and this concerned me.

I became very afraid.

I remembered back to the last time I smelled baked salmon: I was holding a baked salmon in one hand and a long squeegee in the other, running for my very life down the streets of Rome, as over a thousand chihuahuas and pomeranians nipped at my heels and caused my sneakers to become filled with blood. As the blood loss began making me faint, I sat down wearily on a park bench, began swatting the dogs away with the salmon, and started to think back to the other time when I was nearly killed......

It was clear the plane would no longer fly, as covered as it was with bird droppings. "Dingiddy Gadsorooni Fnark Fnark Fnark Zuppity Poppo," I exclaimed, "How did we EVER end up cruising right through the Atlanta Aviary!" As the plane hurtled towards the imposing rounded dome of Stone Mountain, I began buckling into my parachute, and started to think back to the other time when I was nearly killed......

Ten thousand screaming Zulus stormed towards me, their feet making a thunderous roar as they lept over small creeks and bushes, advancing on our position. My British squad had only a few rusty Lee-Enfield rifles, and we quickly exhausted all our ammunition, to no avail. The Zulu's swarmed towards us like a murderous living thing. I turned to Nigel-Nigel Tuft-Underwood-Dillywanker, (Lt. - Retired) and told him, "Well, old chap. I believe this is it." Nigel-Nigel looked at me, confused, and asked "What who is how where?" I realized that my friend's brain had fallen out again. Picking it up off the ground, and dusting it off, I replaced it in his skull. Comprehension lit up his face. As we stared at death, together, I started to think back to the other time when I was nearly killed......

It was quite clear that the krill were likely to fog up my faceplate and interfere with my regulator. "Blast these krill," I shouted, taking in a mouthful of sea water for having forgotten not to shout underwater. Just then, a large Blue whale, scooping up the krill in it's ravenous mouth, appeared before me in startling technicolor with Panavision and technical color shifts involving a substitution of Munsel Color-Order 97, with a Value of 5 and Strong Chroma, to Munsel Color Order 96, Value 4 and Strong Chroma, such highlight changes courtesy of Eastman Kodak Company. I began to think back to the other time when I was nearly killed......

The radiation-enhanced Ultimate Computer sat impassively in front of me. "DATA INDICATES AND LOGIC DEMANDS THAT YOU MUST BE TERMINATED," it intoned. Adjusting my solar-protection shield on the space-helmet I was wearing, I turned to look at the Bathy Blueness of the Still Earthy Quietness of Natural Beautiness that was the Subtle Coolness of the Churning Coldness of the Implacable Movements of the Oceans of Earth, over the horizen of the dusky, dusty, chokey, chutney Moon. I would miss Earth, I thought, and a tear escaped the corner of my eye. The tear fell into something electronic, and I could hear crackling and zapping and smelled ozone as something important was destroyed. Suddenly I saw a pole lying in the moon dust. I turned, and tossed the bird at the computer. In the low gravity, it took a few seconds for the bird to actually make it to the computer, and the bird bounced harmlessly off, chipping it's beak. Without warning, I pole-vaulted out of the computers reach....

.... which, as the Whale was approaching, reminded me to whip out the pole I had stashed in my gear, and pole-vaulted over the whales back....

.... which made me realize how I could use one of the Zulu's errant spears to escape, and pole-vaulted clear over the entire tribe, and landed on my feet in Madagascar....

....which made me think of how I could use one of the wing struts in the airplane as a pole, and simply pole-vaulted over the rounded treacherous dome of Stone Mountain....

Which made me think of using the streetsweepers long broomstick as a pole, to pole-vault over the thousands of yapping dogs nasty little teeth-laden mouths. Landing in a flower-pot on the second floor of the Roman apartment, I saw a lovely, barely-dressed woman shimmey towards me. "Dingiddy Gadsorooni Fnark Fnark Fnark Zuppity Poppo," I softly murmured in appreciation as she shimmied towards me, every body part in motion, her red ruby crimson vibrant glossy red ruby lips pouty and full in anticipation of me kissing her red ruby scintillating sexy pouty full red ruby lips.

She stopped a little ways before me, and she/it unzipped her human suit. A grotesque bug-like alien stepped out of the human-like skin that fell to the floor, red ruby pouty full lips still visible. The antennae quivered and it's mandibals clacked menacingly. I whipped out my ProtoBlaster LaserPhaser Neutron Ray Gun, jumped to my feet, did a Captain Kirk shoulder roll for effect, and, positioning myself behind the desk, screamed "I knew it was you all along, Zelorian menace!"

This particular Zelorian looked to be about of the Forshund sex, and about 12 cycles old. On their planet, procreation is only possible if 4 seperate sexes co-operate. Needless to say, their race is dying out.

I had done my homework on this dangerous alien race. It appears that in order for the Forshund to procreate, they needed need the Trok, which serves as a place to plant the Motroy. The Trok genetalia consists of something vaguely resembling a catchers mitt. The Ponufti must take his/her lopki, which looks like two spheres suspended on a y-fork stick, and twirl them around the the Yepmens morglot, which looks like a spiral pig tail. These actions cause the spontaneous emission of Frogni Vapors, in which is the building blocks of the Motroy. That is where this Forshund came in.

Of course, the role of the Forshund Zelorian is amazingly involved and utterly disgusting that even Michael Jackson recoiled in horror when I told him. There is a 12-volume manual on even the basic sexual act of Trunorianing .... much less, the Mott!

I was shocked out of my thoughts by the sound of the Zelorian, as he/she/it used its three blowholes to harmonize and produce something akin to human speech: "No, Earthling," it trilled, "I am not here to squeeze the life out of your puny frame. I am here to seek your assistance."

"Ah," I said, astutely.

The Zelorian went on: "My race is dying out. We need help. We need your assistance in this matter. I promise you that you will be richly rewarded."

"Okay," I said, adopting a very Gap-like pose, with one hand poised on an outthrust hip, legs slightly apart, with my left foot on blue, my right foot on red, and my left hand on green, causing someone in the distance to yell "TWISTER!". "So what is it that you want?"

The Forshund Zelorian paused for a brief half-hour, smearing itself with a curious ketchup-peanut butter mix, as Zelorians are prone to do, and finally spoke up. "You have imbedded in your genetic structure the one genetic code that will make our reproduction somewhat less complicated," it quavered.

I paused, horrorstruck and staring.

It looked back at me.

I looked at it, squinting.

It coyly cast a glance at a mirror that was facing me.

I cleverly observed it's profile in a reflection on the glass window.

It hypnotically gazed at my shadow.

Finally, it spoke up. "That's right, Human. We need your demon seed." [to be continued]

Haha, someone using Alexander the Great as an example of straights beating homosexuals militarily. They might be missing a few crucial details about some of Alexander's lovers that change the tone of that matchup.

Even more interesting is that Alexander by all accounts was bisexual by a modern standard-- he slept with both adult men and women, though indications show he favored men. The Theban Sacred Band that he killed to a man (and Greek society in general) was only accepting of homosexual pederasty-- it consisted of warriors and their boy servants/lovers. It's interesting in that he's one of the few people from that era who had something resembling a sexuality that is tolerable to modern society (the fact that he was in an arranged marriage and thus was a rapist shits on that more than a little bit, though)

Also up until their battle with Philip II of Macedon the Sacred Band of Thebes was a highly-successful elite unit who'd been decisive in many previous battles. And if the Sacred Band was so terrible because of its homosexuality what does that say about the rest of Greece seeing as how all the other city-states were also defeated or subsumed into the League of Corinth by Philip II?
