“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.” ― Oscar Wilde “The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr.” ― Anonymous, The Quran "Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe.” ― Christopher Paolini, Eragon “The claim at the heart of this book has been carefully researched by several generations of scholars and is orthodox in academic circles, if not beyond. Christians under the Roman Empire were neither constantly persecuted nor martyred in huge numbers for their faith. They were prosecuted from time to time for alleged sedition, holding illegal meetings or refusing to sacrifice to the emperor. They were, like other convicts, sometimes tortured and executed in horrible ways. They seem to have been regarded by many Romans with distaste as a particularly silly superstition. But Christian stories of thousands of individual and mass martyrdoms over centuries have at best a limited basis in historical fact, and in many cases are sheer fiction.” ― Teresa Morgan

My Imaginary GF posted:
High schools still have economics courses? That aren't funded by right-wing propagandists? I never had to take an econ class in school so I don't even know if mine had one. I make 10 bucks an hour in Seattle. Thankfully I paid my car off with my old (better-paying) job that I lost with the 2008 depression, but even without car payments I'm barely staying in the black, at 40 hours/week. gently caress this country. Spun Dog posted:Yep, me too. Doesn't help when he's quoted though. It'd be cool if ignoring people ignored posts that quoted their posts. got any sevens fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Aug 12, 2014 |

McAlister posted:I literally had a creationist science teacher in Kansas for junior high. He got revenge for my back talk by making half the class write a paper defending evolution and half defending creationism ... Putting me on the creationist side. Write noxious bullshit or get a bad grade ... Could you have told him creationism is against your religion?

Radish posted:I will be surprised if this results in anything other than a costly lawsuit for the city regardless of if the DOJ or the FBI or whoever is watching. Pleasantly so however so let's hope! Yeah, this happened in Seattle a few years ago. Then after the lawsuit they still dragged their feet on even scheduling reform. All we have after a 4 year process is just now a new police chief.

AdjectiveNoun posted:People bring it up because it's worked far more often than violent protest. MLK won, Malcom X did not. King only won as the compromise to de-fang Malcom X supporters. Same reason FDR did his welfare stuff, out of fear of a commie revolution. And Nixon creating the EPA, to placate people from joining Weather Underground, etc. Also I read on Al Jazeera that the cops in Fergie killed another guy, because he shot at them maybe? If true that would keep the cops paranoid and trigger happy.

Cardboard Box A posted:I guess the doggles could come in handy if you're teargassing everyone and don't want your own police dogs to suffer. I would think the noses would still be susceptible to the effects, but I'm no teargas expert. Was that a cg dragon on the pic of the austin politician chick?

Sir Tonk posted:http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...ith-mike-brown/ So he punched himself after murdering the kid? I just saw that another guy with a knife got shot by 2 cops a few miles from Ferg. Isn't that what they have some combat training for, to disarm knives? Or mace? Or tasers? Raskolnikov38 posted:You know I'd think I'd tolerate the GOP a tiny, tiny bit more if they dropped the impeachment talk in favor of forming a british style shadow government.

SirKibbles posted:The lesson they need to learn is you have to be for something positive and consistent about it and don't promise poo poo you can't do. Also don't compromise right out the gate goddamn. The one benefit of a Hilary presidency over Obama is she knows how to do politics. But the downside is she won't fight for anyone except corporations and herself...

This thread is best with pyu doing his thing and the occasional funny derail like the nuke map or horse sex. Amergin chat and chat about amergin chat is stupid, it's like Arkane in the climate thread.
