The Macaroni: Dec 20, 2002; ...it does nothing.

The thing I never understand about conservative literalist Christians reacting to things like this is--wouldn't the End Times be a good thing? Sure, there'll be some crap to deal with first, but then Jesus comes back and everything is great if you're a Christian! Like "If gay marriage/implanted microchips/etc. represents the government becoming a corrupt and anti-Christian entity, and that's a sign of the End Times, and the End Times come before the Second Coming--don't you want the government to move in that direction? Why wouldn't you support gay marriage, and just not get gay married yourself? You'd get to watch the heathen world burn at your righteous feet while you party with Jesus!"

Whenever I see that "Only ~~1 2~~ 5 defining forces have offered to die for you" crap, I respond with a link to this religious blog entry that very soundly and definitively asks why the hell these people are comparing soldiers with Jesus Christ: http://www.keepapitchinin.org/2011/03/17/this-is-the-son-of-god-these-are-men-in-uniform-don%E2%80%99t-confuse-the-two/. Among other things, the blog points out that plenty of people are ready to die for you:

quote:

If I were ever trapped in a burning building or under an earthquake-flattened one, or were caught in a flood, or fell over a ledge while hiking, I am 100% certain that there are men and women in my community who would offer to give their lives in the attempt to save mine. I worked for the Clark County [Nev.] Fire Department for a couple of years � it�s the only job I�ve ever had where my starry-eyed admiration for heroes grew stronger instead of fading through familiarity. Those men (they were all men in the �70s) would help a stranger with no questions asked, at the risk of their own lives. That�s what I think of whenever I hear a siren in the distance: Someone is in trouble, and someone else is rushing to help.

The epidemiologists who lock themselves into sealed rooms with deadly viruses and toxins in the quest to understand and conquer them are offering to die for me. The storm chasers and volcanologists who deliberately head into the most dangerous spots on earth in the pursuit of knowledge that will protect future generations are offering to die for me. The drug enforcement agents who investigate reports of marijuana fields in our national parks are offering to die for me. The highway patrolman who stands unprotected next to speeding traffic while he checks out a suspected drunk driver is offering to die for me.

What is the Commercial Code anyway? Is that a real thing or is it outside of the actual U.S. and state legal code?

It's basically a set of non-binding legal guidelines for states to follow on issues of contracts and commerce. In Ye Olden Days, we just followed British common law; then some states changed some things, and others did fancy things, and then the laws were all over the place. So there have been a couple of movements to try and reform/unify state laws (Model Penal Code, Uniform Commercial Code) but they're only binding if states actually write the guidelines into law. Some states follow these, some don't.

So it's kind of like citing HTML 5 white papers as authority for the Interwebz to be free from censorship.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, �Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.�

Oh, there's hilarity with that too. A lot of American Christians claim that "the Eye of the Needle" is actually a reference to an extremely narrow and low gate to the city of Jerusalem. As legend had it, the only way a camel laden with goods and riches could pass through the eye of the needle was to get on its knees. So you see, it's fine to be rich and enter the Kingdom of God as long as you're penitent!

2 problems:

1. Camels can get on their knees, but then they can't actually move forward. Especially if they're carrying something.
2. There was never a tiny, poorly-built gate called "the Eye of the Needle" in the city wall at Jerusalem.

Hey, I finally have one of these. Somebody on Facebook asked what was wrong with requiring photo ID to vote. His wife also got in on it. Don't have a paint program to obscure names so I'll just do text:

Me: The problem is that it's a pain to get a state-issued ID if you're old, broke, don't have a car, live in the middle of nowhere and/or can't get to a DMV during business hours. I've got no problem with requiring some form of ID (utility bill, birth cert, social security card, etc) but government issued photo ID can be tough for very old and very young folks to get in some places.

Guy: If you can't make it to the DMV because you are old and broke, how will you get to a voting booth?

Me: Voting booths are usually closer than the DMV. Also Volunteers from whichever political party. Whether Democrat or Republican, if you call up your favorite candidate and say, "Hey, I want to vote for you but I'll have trouble getting to the polls," they'd better be willing to help. But I don't know if any campaign has the resources to take folks on multiple trips for ID gathering AND voting.

Guy's Wife: Yes, and I suppose it's difficult to find a job when you're all those things too, so I guess it's only right to make it easier for them by providing financial support from the government (the taxpayers don't support them... the taxpayers don't do anything... the government does it, you know, like building roads). You don't want to make it too difficult for people to do anything... that would be cruel and unusual punishment, because the fact that you breath makes you entitled to everything everyone else has, even if you aren't willing to work for it. You may think I have gone off on a tangent, but IT'S THE SAME MENTALITY!!

Me: Hey, didn't say anything about all that. I live in a rural county full of conservative farmers who vote differently than I do, but I don't want any of them to miss on voting because their truck is broken or something.

Guy's Wife: If their truck is broken they can't get there anyway. It's called self-reliance and personal responsibility. Being prepared is the key here. If people are not able to, in a four year time span, save the money for a state ID (In most states it's free or under $15; less if you're a senior) then I suppose those same people require help pulling down their pants before they take a dump! C'mon, I'm sure they don't even care, it's the socialist politicians who are just looking for more votes from people already being supported by the government (hmm... I wonder who they're going to vote for?) It's just a ploy to get more votes. Politicians could care less about what is good for them, they're only in it for themselves and will say and do anything to stay exactly where they are. Republican/Democrat... they're all tainted politicians!!

Wow, seriously? She's an active Mormon, and I'm tempted to ask, "So hey, if someone in your area dies and the women's auxiliary leader asks you to help the family out by cooking a meal for them while they get the funeral arrangements together, do you say, 'gently caress you, you should have enough food in your pantry. It's called self-reliance and personal responsibility. Being prepared is the key here.'?"

Edit: And yes, I'm white knighting for democracy and everything, but you can sure as gently caress bet I'd rather see my candidates/issues lose than see them win because the people who opposed them wanted to vote but were disenfranchised by stupid poo poo.

It would be like saying you're going to stop buying your kid's asthma medications and grandma's nursing home bill so you can pay off your home loan more quickly.

A surprising amount of people would be okay with that reasoning. I personally know people that continued living in an apartment instead of buying a house (with a mortgage payment that would've been less than the rent, plus the tax benefits) because "living in debt is bad." I know others who chose not to pursue college or graduate education for the same reason--which is fine if you're turning down a Big Expensive School for a lesser-known school that gives you a scholarship, but not if you're dooming yourself to a life as a checkout bagger with just a high school degree.

And people undercapitalize their businesses all the time--it's why there are Small Business Administration loans available. (See also: "I built this myself, and debt is bad for US AMERICANs, but my SBA loan doesn't count.")

Honestly, I've never cheated but I'd almost want to try if they were dicks and made me copy that bullshit in cursive before I had to take an exam with two essays like that.

It's for handwriting recognition if there's an inquiry--if you took the test for someone else (or vice versa) and they compare samples of your writing, it gives them more evidence.

Not just that, but anyone who complains about the length of a statute hasn't actually read one. They're double-spaced, have huge margins, and have even more white space around section headings. That's not to see they can't be long or dense, but a "500 page law!111!! :bahgawd:

Saw this gem on Facebook:

quote:

This is the great battle we are in right now. [Former Mormon Church president] President Benson expresses it so plainly ... to �awake to your awful situation� found in [Mormon scriptures] Ether 8:24 and further in verse 25:
Ether 8:25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people�

I believe Obama is going to be a super rock star again around 2015 because of the huge amounts of oil that is being found in America at this time. In Obama�s speech after he knew he had been re-elected as our President he talked about us becoming �energy independent� and that�s because he knows our economy is going to be given a huge boost from all the oil that is being found. But there will be a price for us all to pay as I think he will be either re-elected for a third term (as was FDR) or he will run Michelle as the next President and people will overwhelmingly vote them in again. But our freedoms will be further lessened as this secret (not so secret anymore) force continues to erode the Constitution of the United States. WAKE UP! Don�t study the main stream news media � they�re in on it � they�re the servants of this secret society. Study the scriptures and what the prophets have warned in the past � (I haven�t heard them speak of this for some time and so it is my opinion that it may be too dangerous for them to speak of it now, but plenty has been said in the past).

I replied, "But he can't be elected for a third term unless he repeals the 22nd Amendment, which would be nigh on impossible. I suppose Michelle could run in 2016, though." Let's see if she flips and talks about how ACORN can make any constitutional amendment get approved by 3/4 of the states.

Though the crescent was originally a secular symbol of authority for Muslim rulers, it is now often used to symbolize the Islamic faith. However, the crescent was not a symbol used for Islam by Muhammad or any other early Muslim rulers, as the Islamic religion is, in fact, against appointing "holy symbols" (so that during the early centuries of Islam, Muslim authorities simply didn't want any geometric symbols to be used to symbolize Islam, in the way that the cross symbolizes Christianity, the menorah was a commonly occurring symbol of Judaism, etc.). This is why early Islamic coins were covered with Arabic writing, but contained no visual symbols.
