Show me a nation under Sharia law that operates on equal economic footing and hasn't been constantly meddled with by an outside nation that sought to constantly cripple it.

You know that shit exists in spite of the strong wish of our more fanatical political representatives to live under Christian law.

Doesn't the Christian faith also describe paradise on earth as being a time when everyone left is Christian and therefore there is peace and all heathens should be put to death by stone? Also, the chance we have at the repeal of the AUMF is a decent start. At least we're starting to realize...

We're the assholes still beating her ass. I'm not justifying the actions, but to look at the effect and be bewildered and confused and claim they are insane is a little more than asinine.

Bro.... Have you even studied the history? Woman played massive roles in tons of political reforms in Iran before the 1950s. The Tobacco Boycott, the Constitutional Revolution. Mosaddegh was the first to order the unveiling of women in Iran and afforded more freedoms to woman as the eras...

You have no power because you'd rather turn a blind eye to the true source of a problem, rather than give up any of your own comfort to address an issue with a broken political system.

I liken the disconnect to much the same as white people's inability to understand why blacks just couldn't get their shit together after slavery was abolished. Fuck, what else did they want us to do, treat them like people?

In regards to this, the Iran that existed before the 1950s was not what Iran is today. It was not violent toward women, they had a democratically elected nation that just happened to not want to be controlled by the West any longer. We fucked that into the ground, violently, and then supported a...

So genocide is cool?

So are you ok with the idea of being involved in the mass murders associated with the acquisition of those goods? Tax revenue gained from citizens pays for it. Are we any better than the German citizens when the Jewish community was scapegoated for political purposes?

Shouldn't the answer be to actually listen and attempt to reason with these groups. Find common ground, debate tactics. I understand that there are fanatical members of the religion, but look at the US for a fanatical Christian nation. Find a way to co-exist rather than call for the genocide of...

I'm just of the opinion that we've been using violence as a means of achieving fucking nothing in the Middle East. We aren't fixing it, so why keep dumping trillions of dollars into it when all the West has seen from it is a further expansion of violence toward us. Our economies are in the...

I remember my teachers telling us that the Islamic revolution was a direct response to the United States' illegal backing of the Shah's regime (that we and Britain installed after they democratically elected Mosaddegh) in an effort to maintain control over the oil reserves in that nation...

I was going to just ignore that part, it was too insane to deal with.

Nor would I, but writing angry people off that happen to be religious as crazy maniacs, kind of seems disingenuous. Everything a person has to say can't be written off as loony because one part of what he's saying involves a swear to a god. He wasn't speaking of jihad, he wasn't raving. He was...

Not to say this man is a soldier, but what about people who caused the deaths of innocents in say, the Middle East, as one example. Are those people maniacs as well, or do we have the absolute monopoly on who gets to kill whom?

So we all believe that western imperialism isn't to blame for a large amount of the violence and economic situations in those regions of the world?

Rolling over to Mindflayer, anyone here willing to take me in?

Being able to roll need on non-class items seems like such an old school problem, it's weird they didn't address it here.

Probably the same as any organization that was faced with the financial ruin after knowing it was coming the whole time. They only care they got caught.

I'll join in

Vatoreus McCoy, anyone looking for someone to roll around with?

This. If anything, it's a movie about how fucking stupid humanity is that they started to worship and built a religion that would last thousands of years off the death of an alien being. He may have been what humanity thought was Christ, but he was a fucking ALIEN. Not Jesus. Not the Son of God...

my kitty and doggy

Having trouble finding info for a problem I'm having with nullDC. Running windows 7 and the Gauntlet Legends cdi I'm trying to load, loads to the music cd screen.

It's about an hour ride from the Medical District (off Babcock, near Wurzbach/I-10) to get downtown to Commerce/St. Mary's. A lot of construction has been going on in the past 3 years and things are slowly improving for getting around this town. I agree, it seems to have been pretty shitty once...

Personally, I'd rather spend 40 minutes biking somewhere than 20-40 minutes in a car, using gas getting anywhere

I'll call BS on this one these days. I know a girl who lives 20 minutes outside of the downtown area, doesn't own a car, and bikes everywhere she goes (works on the south side of Downtown). In fact, pretty much everyone I work with rides a bike every where and I'm planning on picking one up this...

I just moved here a few months ago. The downtown area is actually starting to pick up a lot of steam and improving every day. Southtown/King Williams is definitely the district to go to for ease of access to the rest of the city imo. I'm going to moving down there, as I work at a restaurant in...

I have it set up like Kirun said, one big album. I nerd out so hard on the story, which makes the albums just a musical version of the comics and it gets me so amped up. Claudio is to the music genre as Joss Whedon is to video media, but infinitely more talented. A collaboration between the two...

After multiple listens, I've decided Number City is my favorite Coheed song of all time. Too god damn groovy. Reminds me of an over the top Head Automatica/Say Anything style of song. Claudio's ability to write in any genre is still fucking awe inspiring.

These last two albums have been pretty fucking incredible. The story is tragic, yet beautiful. The way it ends is a pretty epic testament to love. Would be cool if there were a follow up with his travels in the Keywork as he searches for Meri. I think The Hard Sell is my favorite song on this...

Stop following me. He/She jerks off to shelly and then stores the secretions in a jar by his bed, to use for later lubrication needs.

I really miss Germany, and it's probably because people like Ronne live there (I think, pretty stoned at the moment. Day off starting now after the 4th 60 hour week)

Norway. The exact place I would love to move to one day.

So there was a misunderstanding with my friend. When the doctors told him they found no leukemia in his heart, he thought they meant he was cancer free. He was pretty drugged up, so it's understandable that he probably didn't follow all the info that well. Turns out they were talking about the...

Third up isn't my creation, but it's too cool not to share. It's a special we're running and tastes fantastic. Pickled Squash Salad 2 oz pickled butternut squash (he pickled it using pumpkin oriented spices, like star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. unsure of exact mixture) 1 oz goat cheese...

Second is a desert I did for a dinner party I threw. The rest of the food wasn't quite to the level I wanted, which is why I'm not including any of it lol. Strawberry Granita with Dark Rum 15 strawberries 1/2 cup water 1 tbsp honey 1 pinch Maldon Salt 1 oz Dark Rum (I use Kraken)...

So I moved to San Antonio and finally started working with some real chef's after 2 years of slumming it in some boring kitchens. Here a few of the specials we've come up with. Starting at my chef's new restaurant in about a month (hopefully, who knows when it comes to investors). Going to be...

Voting right now, will message you on Steam. Looks pretty sweet man!
