So he WAS crucified, he just didn't "die", correct?

The race of the officer has no bearing on whether he is acting incorrectly out of racial bias. Racism isn't about the perpetrator, it's about the victim.

go fund me link?

Indeed. And then policy can be set based on the aggregate data, which indicates that police are far more likely to escalate the intensity of a situation that involves young black men. Something needs to be done to mitigate this fact.

Yes, I'm playing the odds, but the odds are heavily in my favor.

The bolded is almost always false. I agree that he may not have been specifically targeting blacks. But if he was breaking up a rowdy graduation party full of upper middle class white kids, do you honestly believe his emotions go where they did? He saw young black men in a gated community and made an assessment with that as a factor and it escalated his reaction. Race doesn't have to be the only factor to still be a problem, especially for Law Enforcement.

matches. It's just matches. phosphorus and KCLO3. I was thinking that we could grill some asparagus for him and he'd change his mind.

I think it may involve something oil based, like kerosene, exposed to a nice potassium chlorate and phosphorus mixture.

In my 4 years here, I've never seen someone be so sure about something that is so wrong. Thank you weave, for fighting the good fight, but I'm afraid he may be a lost cause. You've got to let us know next time you're headed down here. Mrs. Bottle and I would love to catch a drink with you guys.

Something something euphemism.

My Town and Country is the most important thing that I own.

Russia has, probably, the closest relationship between the majority religion and the government of any of the G8 Nations. Putin and the Patriarch Kirill are very close (possibly even back to the KGB days) and there is no doubt that they each use the other's influence to advance their own causes. I imagine there are very few Russian Orthodox today that are afraid to openly express their faith. Now, Jews and Muslims, that's a different story.

X. knows the difference between lies and truths.

Weave prefers boilermakers made with coors light and canadian club.

I am not debating His divinity. I simply find the argument that He was the son of God is proven by the fact that He was crucified by Rome at the behest of the people of Jerusalem to be pretty hollow. My point is to drive home the other arguments for His divinity. I assure you, in Nicea, when Jesus's divinity and relationship to God was codified for us, they did not use this as the argument. I, personally, find His message to be the most profound proof of his divinity. Who, but God, would preach a message of unconditional love for all, including your enemies at that time in history. After that, I believe the signs, from the wine at the wedding to the resurrection.

The tank got to AA. He was very depr-angry.

Promo is sad.

Starting to get settled in to the new house. The kids love the space. Our youngest just stopped running around, and out of now where shouted, "I LOVE the Green House!!!"

You mention the "Jewish Leaders" deciding to kill Jesus as proof of His divinity a couple times so far. Even if I grant the debatable point that he was killed by "Jewish Leaders" (Matt 27 is one of the most historically questionable passages in the Gospels) He wasn't the only person executed for blasphemy. Were all the others also true messiahs? To be clear, I'm not questioning His divinity, but I find this particular theological argument to be very soft.

In his Avatar Pic, that is not NG wearing a chicken hat. That's a genetic deformation of his actual scalp.

excellent.

It's GRRM. His characters are like Schrödinger's Cat. They are all both alive and dead at the same time.

Could we include a video of a bloodied Mike Peca telling the new posters to "get back out there and post, I don't care if your feelings are hurt."

What do you want from me?
