Did you mean Paul rather than John? I'm not aware of any particular shitheadedness perpetrated by John, but Paul's all up with the homophobia and misogyny.

John wrote Revelation, so despite the fact that Paul is a genuinely horrible person John is a ranting paranoid freak who gets off to people getting murdered in horrible ways.

John also has all of the misogyny and homophobia of Paul as a bullshit bonus, so it's not like he scores any brownie points there.

Naw. Scarier is when they were in the upper atmosphere, where you can see the atmosphere boil off and get pushed away from the earth, and hear the radio blackout it creates. This was at least harmless and beautiful while we see the atmosphere defend us from the particles.

Ugh, sorry about the triple re-post this morning.

More background on the Republican efforts to steamroll the 1920s Jones Act. The jist is: It's not stopping any help from happening. To repeal the law would allows the abuses I listed earlier to happen.

What the fuck am I reading.
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele on Friday declared his opposition to the Afghanistan war, saying the nine-year-old conflict was of President "Obama's choosing," and that the mission is "probably a lost cause" – prompting at least one prominent Republican to call for his [Steele's] resignation.

Well then. I'm not entirely sure as to what you mean when you say "actually commit to Christ" or "follow the teachings in his word" or "change fundamentally" because you never defined these painfully ambiguous terms (Will they change their opinions? Their actions? Their general vibe? What?), but even if you had, that would not change the fact that you have offered no support for your little hypothesis - not even an anecdote. By contrast, I have linked to a report of an empirical study. You see the disparity.

The use of baseless assertion and imprecise religious idiom may stand up well in church, where the setting and predispositions of the audience allow such things to pass unscrutinized, but this is the internet. Here, you can get away with nothing.

OTOH: Your use of the word 'balderdash' is much appreciated.

Ah, its very simple. If someone doesn't "change fundamentally", they're "not a true Christian".

Although I can say that most of my friends that become religious do change fundamentally: they tend to become more hateful, they tend to rant about how horrible Gays are and how they're ruining the country, and they tend to bring up Jebus every four seconds.

Eh,

I think we aught to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan today. I don't think either one of those countries is worth one drop of American blood.

Once we pull out, the real fighting begins anyway, we may as well let them get on with it.

To those who say "If we don't fight them there we'll have to fight them here." My answer is bring them on. They'll be a lot easier to spot here anyway.

I wasn't commenting on 'the mission is probably a lost cause' - I agree with that.

Acting as if Afghanistan was of 'Obama's own choosing', instead of being a massive shit dropped right into his lap by our mentally retarded previous President and his morally bankrupt administration, on the other hand, is just crazy.

Afghanistan has the largest deposits of Lithium in the world. There are also massive iron deposits and other mineral wealth in the country that have been untapped.

Afghanistan is a weak, unstable country with very little technology.

I think we all know how this ends.

I wouldn't be so cynical. It's difficult to set up a mining operation, to say nothing of a mining industry.

If Nigeria is any example, the capitalists will move in, their money will fuel everything, the state will get more corrupt and then in about thirty (forty?) years you'll have a corrupt democracy still trudging along towards something resembling adequacy.

I don't believe that the war in Afghanistan will be able to do better than that, especially not with Pakistan's ISI official policy to support the Taliban.

Yeah, pretty much. The real sad part about Afghanistan is that it seems we're only forcing them into Pakistan, a country that actually has nuclear weapons.

Seriously, fuck Afghanistan. Let the terrorists have it. Just pretty much keep a satellite eye on it and whenever the terrorists set up any kind of infrastructure, you blow the hell out of it. Aside from that, let them have their caves.

Nevada GOP candidate suggests the state intervene and cut off all utilities to homes owned or rented by illegal immigrants.

You know, 'cause a state in which it both snows and gets triple digits regularly is a great place to strand someone without AC, heat, and water in a modern apartment designed to require such things with no legal recourse.

No. PR is calling it retarded to conflate wanting to indirectly kill people by depriving them of the ability to obtain necessities as directly murdering them in the face.

I see no Nazis anywhere at all, much less any he is defending. (Hey guys, remember how attacking Crissa does not automatically equate to defending the people she is attacking? Oh right, you guys never accepted that the first time.)

Now in this case, obviously, PR is wrong, because performing actions that you know will kill people is the same as killing people. But that's because we are all sane, but PR has a stupid Divine Command Theory morality where not doing actions is more important than results.
