That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

Pilgrims left England for being insane religious fanatics. I can understand you only getting in 10 or 15 hours or research though or so given it's a holiday week, so the mistake is understandable.

There is a concept of a 'bridge to goodness' in Islam, where you have to cross an incredibly narrow bridge to get from the place where all humans gather after death to Paradise. If you fell of the Bridge, it's Hell. I think the speed in which you cross the bridge depends on how much good deed points you have. Of course, if you have more bad deed points than good deed points you'll just fall through the bridge.

Some local think, idk.

In brief: the province wants to tear down the Desjardins Canal Bridge and replace it with something more modern. The Hamilton city council wants to declare the bridge a heritage structure and have it preserved, but most of them aren't even sure which bridge is being discussed because there's a lot of old bridges across the canal. In either case the work is going to turbofuck traffic for a while since it's a major commuting route.

But if I don't put my faith in jesus I also get eternal life. I get eternal life in hell so maybe be specific someone might think they're covered and leave your sales pitch early.

Your would-be evangelizer would probably point out that the Book of Revelation keeps referring to Hell as "the second death." Depending on their flavor of Christianity, they may even believe that the souls of non-believers will be destroyed after the Final Judgment instead of suffering eternally in Hell.

Also, people often use a standard Latin cross as their Bridge to Life, like so:



But I'm sure you can see the serious flaw in that drawing: "How am I supposed to get past the top beam? That's a terrible design for a bridge!" So I'm not surprised the guy in the video modified his bridge.

You walk through the top beam; Salvation through Christ bridge is a suspension bridge, held up by the invisible suspender cables of faith. The long part at the bottom is there to gently caress with boats. Jesus hates boats.

Yes, Eric. The truly obnoxious man-children aren't the ones who use family gatherings as an opportunity to talk about how the Kenyan Muslim in the White Hut is destroying America with socialism or how the Ferguson thug apes should all be gassed. It's people who have the temerity to contradict them.

The joke that thanksgiving dinner becomes a time when your relatives go on political rants and all has evolved into various political sites doing things like posting 'takedowns' of the other side's talking points, usually with more shallow talking points but this time it's for our side so it's ok, when really the proper answer to Uncle Jim ranting about the black guy in the white house is to just ignore him and let him tire himself out or say 'hey man we don't really talk politics at the table' or something.

Basically both sides see this kinda poo poo as furthering the problem (spoiler, you're probably not gonna change the mind of the kinda guy who thinks family dinner is the best time to shout that the gay mafia runs the world by dropping some sick burns you printed out) so there's been kinda a pushback from assorted sources.

Allie, as usual, has taken that as a chance to just be a sad spiteful old man bitching about KIDS THESE DAYS as if this is the first time this has ever happened.

Or, tl;dr, Allie's still butthurt that last year one of his nephews said 'what, no man Obama doesn't want to flood the country with election fraud committing Mexicans, that's not a thing that happens'.

For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country...

I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America... He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.
