That is why I love mathematics actually. All the problems are puzzles, just some of them are harder than others. I wish people would be more willing to crack open a math textbook and try the problems, instead of doing things like sudoko. They feed the same "itch" in me.

Combinatorics is fun bro.

Both Mist and I are atheists, so not sure how you get Pat Robertson out of it. Unfortunately, both Merlin and Araysar would probably fail all their classes with me. Subtracting and probability are hard.

That isn't very nice bro.

Maybe Merlin goes to the same school that Mist works at, where apparently the only way undergrads can pass is by cheating. In that scenario, Merlin would be doing great.

Well, as far as feedback, I think you have done a great job picking themes and books. Unfortunately, I seem to have a different taste than what is winning each month, so it is tempting me to just read a book you selected, just not the winner.

Look at all those paragons of human rights voting yes on that.

Goddamn Beef, you just can't help yourself with stupid, can you?

Beef Supreme, it isn't too late to just apologize and admit the comparison is absurd. Stop doubling down on your stupid.

How much percent of the population that played ME3 were interested in killing off their party members? Given that, how much development time do you think they should spend on making all their scripts and quests work with one solo person?

This is too long to put in my sig. Shorten it please.

Well, you are the one that used Dumar as an example of a scientific person. Since I see him as exactly the opposite, I felt obliged to mention it. It is also somewhat funny that Dumar is currently at the moment espousing redpill MRA dumb stuff in the marriage and divorce thread, all with the...

Finished listening to the Sam Harris article. Great points. He really lays out the moral divide between Israel and the Palestinians and why every atheist should be backing Israel, even as distasteful as it can be to back a state based on a religion.

Well, considering the previous ruling, pretty clear no ban on ammunition would stand up in court. Still, not worth going through the legal bullshit to "prove" that.

No, he doesn't make perfectly rational and scientifically sound points. He says things you, Tanoomba, agree with. When asked to cite why he feels that is the case, he says "Marx said it, so therefore it is true". It is as scientific as creationism. Just because you agree with something or think...

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the podcast on that article and will listen to it on the way to school today.

This show makes me sad. The premise of the book was great, but the characters acted in completely stupid ways. I was so hoping the show would change it to make the characters seem more plausible. Nope.

Yeah, Dumar does that shit all the time. So does Tanoomba when talking about shit like solar roadways.

As for SM, generally I find his videos pretty detestable, but his breakdown of the facts of the Trayvon Martin trial was really good. So I have some residual fondness for that, though his rant at the end of the video that it was all due to spanking was silly. Mind you, I dislike spanking also...

So don't really feel like watching a meanspirited debate, but I am curious what SM claimed as the main cause of divorce? Was it the MRA stuff that Dumar has been espousing in the marriage thread, that women are always on the lookout to ditch their current spouse and marry up?

Oh come on dude. It obviously means he survives in that ending. Unless you have an aunt in bioware saying it was a fakeout, the meaning seems pretty clear.

Similar to your posting.

I will play the shit out of this game, even if it simply a reskinned atari ET. I want me more Mass Effect.

I think it means anyone who isn't forced to steal children for their blood.

Why do you say this? WoW has some of the tightest class balance of any MMO ever, at least in pve, which is their focus. Starcraft is competitive because of the balance that they put into it. I can't think of any MMO or RTS that has nearly the balance of the Blizzard versions.

Oh really, let's examine the only thing approaching a "solution" in your previous post... So THAT is your solution? Just wait around (while making sure to get rid of Israel I guess, according to your other posts) and wait for some moderate islamic group to eradicate all the radicals...

Merlin, seriously, if you are going to speak out against government waste, especially in regards to government programs, surely you have an answer to why foodstamps are good for you but not for others. What makes you deserving of government subsidies but makes other people not?

Merlin, why is it okay for you to use foodstamps, but bad when other people do it?

It has to do with you sounding like you know nothing of the region, while telling other people to educate themselves about it.

Merlin, why is it okay for you to use food stamps and wic, but bad when other people do it?

This ladies and gentlemen, is Osiris the Everliving, scholar of the middle east.

Sigh, you are one ignorant person. The gall of you telling someone to educate themselves, while you essentially contradict yourself in consecutive posts.

Goddamn, dunno if I'm going to be able to handle going back to leagues without cartographers boxes. Was down to one lvl 75 map, nothing else greater than 71. Got a cartographers, threw in some chaos and got 8 additional and mirrored. Ended up netting 8 75s and 6 74's. The map system sucks...

Yep. Any cards that allow cheap card draw have always been insanely powerful in any game.

Sounds like the white house just wants to drum up outrage on this. Until I see the republicans actually start trying (rather than fringe crazies talk about it), sounds like BS.

Of COURSE he is.

What evidence do you have that this is true?

Vaclav, best apologize for using those statistics and use something else. They state Canada has more kidnappings than Mexico. Get real bro.

This. Assuming we have card power inflation, which is of course going to happen.

They also actually have an economy that isn't based solely on oil. The rest of the arab world, not so much. edit: Basically your statement of should apply much more to the Palestinians than Israel. As weak as they are now, it isn't going to get any better for them.
