Ha, I saw it too. Thought it was funny.

Dude, give it up. Im not saying your "losing" but there's no use in trying to convince someone as stubborn, hard headed and ignorant as Dr. Ric. So you might aswell just stop trying. Dont worry Dr. Ric, nothing personal buddy

now THATS badass. Other than looks and coming in different cartridge size whats so great about Magpul Masada? Isnt there a company that makes an AR15 that fires 7.62 rounds?

I got that text from whitey too... but for some reason it didnt work on my POS phone. ARMAGEDON!

I think it was its Tail that took out the bridge. It was a very odd shape, its front elbow's were up above its head like a spider would walk. Eh either way, hudd got ate. Too bad that hot bish had to blow up though.

HAHAHA, awesome. Wasnt there a hotel fire in Vegas in the early 90's and like 70 people died?

I could've sworn I heard a quote this morning on the radio in which the judge said "you will have to experience life without a warm bed and a hot meal." I dont even think he should be allowed in a homeless shelter.

True, you definitly make a good point. I cant defend all religion's the only thing I can do is talk from the experience I've had and that was in a church in which tithes and offering's were taken at will. There is a verse in the bible that quotes the "10% rule" but I forget what it is, other than that give as your feel you need to to support the house you attend, that has always been my outlook on it. Come to think of it, Scientology does have alot in common with heavily organized religion. The need to control and to obey, it just takes it to another scary level. I agree with your conclusion on "religion" in the traditional sense. I've always thought that the relationship you carry on with god (or whomever you believe in) is the most important aspect. Above all else. But to each his own.

Sorry, with my long rant above I forgot to write a decent reply to your comments. My point is that Scientology should not be considered a religion, it should be considered a cult. To me a religion is basically a belief system, whereas scientology is largely exsisting as a tax free business franchise of sorts. Its twisted. Yes every religion has their 'wacko' stories but most are centered around one omnipitent being (ie, god) being the all powerful ruler and general OG. Where the grey area comes is when members of an organization can pay a monetary sum to gain powers of said god. Thats where the Bullshit meter pegs out. Disclaimer: I have nothing against people who practice Scientology. Just strong opinions on how its operated.

I never got into their real beliefs with Natasha, moreso their overall structure. Think of a corporate environment + rigid militaristic (is that even a word?) code of conduct x 24/7 observation = Scientology's structure. One VERY important thing to note is that most of these hollywood stars who talk about scientology aren't really scientologist, they're just observing the belief system technically. In fact alot of them can actually pay to have their status within Scientology upgraded. There is some sort of leveled grading system they go by and each level has a price. Bet you didnt know that John Travolta's status is so high... HE CAN READ MINDS! Scientology is very minimalist, when you join you literally give them all of your money. Nothing is yours. You work hard labor day in and day out and get paid next-to nothing. This is where the corporate philosophy comes in. Its almost run like a business. You can climb the corporate latter and make it to supervisor and some other sort of managerial position just like any other company. If you get into trouble you are of course put on some sort of probation and while on that you have to PAY to take classes to get better. Whats even worse is they go through a monthly review of sorts in which they strap you to a machine that they believe can tell if your lying or not. No this machine is not a lie detector in the sense your thinking of, its just a machine that they BELIEVE can tell lies. And they ask you if you've been bad, sinned, etc... and if you say yes/no and they think your lying. Your screwed. Whats more is when Natasha left, she supposably owed them money or had some sort of balance with them because she didnt complete her training. So for weeks afterwards they would call her at all hours telling her she needed to come back and pay them, she simply told them to fuck off. Technically they are considered a non-profit religious organization so its not like it will go on her credit report or anything. Trust me, theres a TON of shit Im forgetting but this cult is NOTHING like any sort of organized religion I've ever seen or heard of.

I knew it was yours when I saw it on Craigslist. Mike told me about it. I would if I could

I "dated" a girl who grew up in scientology but got out. It's a cult plain and simple. The shit she told me was just crazy. Her parents joined when they were in their 20's so she never hard a choice in the matter. Lucky for her her sisters got out one by one. Last I heard her youngest sister, who is 21, just got out a few months ago.

ehhhhh.... ok seriously though, goodluck.

After screaming like that, that bitch deserved to get bitten.

Sweet, so when i get wasted at Columbus Gold can I call you to drive me home?

Bringing this thread back from the dead. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/24/economic.stimulus/index.html So apparently single people will get 600 (not 800 like previously believed) and couples will receive 1200. Per the article, we could receive checks as soon as June. So whats everyone going to do with their 600?

wow

Couldn't have said it better myself. Evan just because your wife reacted to it they way the majority of case studies said she would does not neccessarily mean thats going to be true for every individual. Condom's arent always 100% effective either. Again, on a certain level I agree with you but whats the alternative? EIC helps alot of people who are genuinely in need, unfortunatly it supports people who abuse the system aswell. So I guess we just described every government program ever put in use then right?

Once a week I drink with my brother and some friends. Every friday night. I might have a drink on sunday's with a buddy but definitly nothing to get 'buzzed' over. More or less just sit there bullshitting for an hour or two as I sip on something.

show on fox right now. strap person to lie detector, ask them questions they dont want anyone to know the answers to.

Be prepared to sit down for like 3 hours. Its not just dinner, its an event. Turbomark use to serve there he can tell you all about it.

For once we agree on something. Its always easier to pass judgement on someone or a situation when your completely detached from that person. But when its a loved one or a close friend thats going through it, people tend to be a bit more sympathetic. I agree with you I dont totally agree with "the reditribution of wealth" or the idea of it but there are alot of public services that actually do help people in need and this is one of them. Again, its the people who abuse the system that give it a bad rap.

Out of that whole list I only recognized 2 (ok maybe 3) and thats because I use to work at a dept store who ALWAYS played Rick Astley and Eddie Money (if its the same "take me home tonight"). I would suggest getting the playlist from someplace like Khole's, Macy's, bannana republic, Talbots and picking the worst from those playlists. Great idea. Oh and yes, they do have interenet jukeboxes in most bars in cbus now.

DAMNIT, what did i miss??

I'll stick with my Mach3 and avoid slitting my own throat before going to work everyday. But i will admit, all the stuff is pretty cool. Just not worth all the injuries i would undoubtably suffer from. I've never nicked myself using a modern multi-blade razor.
