I read the books. My wife didn't and watches the show with me. I have been telling her for like three weeks that the bodies were going to start hitting the floor. They are really dragging it out.

BTW - why did Fatboy leave the dagger behind? Wouldn't it be the first thing you would be sure to take with you?

If you are operating with benefits of non-taxation, what the hell is wrong with the IRS making sure that you are following the rules??


Thug. Audit Planned Parenthood and Media Matters first!!


Do you know for sure that they didn't?

No sir. Good point!


Lol...they probably didn't.

There is bias in all of us. We just need transparency. Find out who organized it or gave the order, fire them and give the public a person to blame. Hopefully it would be a deterrent the next time. If not, make that person look like a fool as well...regardless of political affiliation.


You cannot fire a public employee that easily. They aren't employees at will like most of the rest of us. They have a property interest in their job that entitles them to due process.

I am not sure that anybody did anything wrong in this instance, other than perhaps apologize to the Tea Party organizations that were audited. Does anybody know whether liberal organizations that had the word "Party" in their name weren't targeted? Or other indications of affiliation to the democratic party? If not, then these people were just doing their job and weren't singling anybody out because of their specific political party affiliation. They were singling them out because of their likely affiliation with A political party, which is exactly what they were supposed to do.

If walk on players from WV were so valuable why don't we start a whole roster of them. Come on people if they were that good they would have scholarships.


You are changing the issue. Nobody said that the walk ons were better than the scholarship players. You have to have walk ons, so why not get the best you can? Like another poster said, I like the fact that they are all from WV and I can understand the pride people have about that fact.

I honestly doubt we have a "lack of depth at WR". We have White, Arila, Myers, Mathis, Moore, with Alford, Gibson, and Carswell coming in.


I am sure Big 12 defenses are quaking.

Is lack of depth at WR an extenuating circumstance?

I won't denounce God...but I'll sure as hell denounce the Bible.


If you think that book contains "the word of God", you are sadly mistaken. It's nothing more than the word of Man.


I am not a thumper and I don't consider myself "Christian." That being said, because parts of the Bible are wrong, that doesn't mean that some parts aren't right, and other parts aren't too far off. You also have to distinguish between the words in the Bible, and the interpretations of those words by organized religion. Personally, I can see truth in certain passages of the Bible, but the truth is not the interpretation of the Christian religion. Generally speaking, I think that the parts of the Bible that Christians interpret literally (eg creation in 7 days) should be interpreted figuratively, and the parts that they interpret figuratively (eg free will, unconditional love) are meant to be interpreted literally. If you re-read the Bible with the lenses of science, physics, metaphysics, psychology, Eastern religion and philosophy, remove from your brain the the Christian construction of the words, and look for the truth in the words per the concepts of these other disciplines, there are constructions that ring with truth. Not that you have to believe it, but it makes more sense, at least for me. Even something as simple as "gnashing of teeth" can be a simple description of anxiety. How else would you explain anxiety to an illiterate goat herder 1800 years ago? This is an overly simple example, but I am just trying to make a point. Maybe I am projecting, but that is what I have seen whether or not I am projecting. I definitely agree that the Bible is the word of man, or men, and also think that many of the interpretations followed by Christianity are the product of corruption by men.

I hadn't visited this thread in a while. I just saw that my last post received a "This +1" from WVMan, and a "+1" from A-Man. I am going to go away for awhile; I need to sort this all out.

If everybody that voted for the Pepperoni Roll also voted for the Macadamia Nut, then the Chimichanga would be losing.

Indeed.

There is no "was" or "will be", there is only "is".

Unlock the mystery of time...and we'll be a lot closer to answers either way.


And this raises another possible intersection between religion (Christianity to be exact) and science/physics. Jesus said, "...before Abraham was born, I am." Not "I was," using past tense, which would have been appropriate if he had been confining his answer within time. Coincidence or intended? Break off into your small groups and discuss.
