  1. and likewise in the way many Muslims were brought up "those are not Muslims" There simply isn't a religion more like christianity than islam...they literally worship the same abrahamic god, and while their prophets have different names, they really did teach a lot of the same stuff.

    Why???

    by front end, I think he meant headlights...
  3. Huntington now has 24 hr grace, so it really doesn't matter what order your credits and debits are processed in a given day.

    Why???

    meh, why not? I mean, it's not my cup of tea, but if that's what the dude wanted, why not?
  5. +1 for keeping an eye on CreditKarma.com and CreditSesame.com as for them closing your account, that's stupid.
  6. I've only dipped twice that I recall... 1. was accidental, or at least unintentional: riding home from niagara, saw flashing lights behind me, but the rest of the group was on the gas, so I didn't notice the red and blue, just the wig wag on the headlights. (initially thought it was just some jerk flashing high beams at me, later figured it was probably a police officer) 2. Half a dip, really... was doing 30 or 40 over, cop came the other way, seen him look up, and his front end dropped as he nailed the brakes to turn around, as soon as I seen him i kicked the shifter twice and rocked the throttle. The reason I call it a half dip was because he never hit the red and blues, as soon as I seen him nail the brakes, I was on the gas, and I don't think he even bothered to finish turning around.
  7. It's a union busting measure... It will work some places, but it won't work in others... In shops where the union mentality is strong, the workers will still pay their dues. Most new workers will be convinced that it's the right thing to do, and the unions will remain strong. Places where the union is just a self perpetuating leech that can't be shaken will gradually shake it, as workers who don't see the benefits of the union will opt-out. Will it hurt some? sure... will it kill them all? I seriously doubt it.
  8. exercise away... AGAIN the problem you're having here is assuming this is somehow a problem regarding Muslims...rather than a problem regarding anti-american terrorists (who in some cases happen to also claim be Muslim, and justify their actions through a few cherry picked verses from the Qu'ran). Think abortion clinic bombers... does the bible say that people who don't follow the abrahamic law should be put to death? absolutely... you can pick and choose the same type of shit from the bible, and justify all kinds of horrible actions. Now is that a "christian" problem? NO, it's a terrorist problem, it doesn't matter what holy book or crazy cult leader the person claims to follow, it's about the individual, or in some cases a fringe group. You want to say Al-Queda is a problem, fine. you want to say the Taliban is an issue, most would agree, but the second you say Muslims (even if you add the word "extremist") you're missing the point, entirely. While the Taliban, and Al-Qaeda are populated with people who claim to be Muslim, their actions aren't taken because they are Muslim, they are taken because they are Al-Quaeda or Taliban... do you get it yet?
  9. so these just light up during the day, like a skylight? or does the chlorine have some photo-luminescence?
  10. Not so worried about my skill level, it's just a bunch of tiny screws and connectors, more concerned with quality of parts, and accuracy of touch screen after replacement. Icracked has a $65 kit, I'm considering trying that.
  11. perhaps you should start a whole forum topic... you could call it "Casper's interesting and off the wall how-to guides"
  12. that would be cool, but like a 3 hour drive... any idea on pricing and results?
  13. Anyone done one? Backpack dropped her iphone 4 in the garage, and broke the front glass, mostly in 1 corner. Phone still works, but it would be nice to fix it. I know the front glass and digitizer are glued together, so I'm thinking my best bet is to swap it out as 1 unit, or just take to apple store for a swap out. apple charges $150, and basically just swaps out the whole phone after transferring data. seen an $80 DIY kit online that includes the tools and part. I'm just a little leary of the part quality and accuracy of touch screen after swap. Anyone done a front glass swap, or know of any reputable places to get parts?
  14. They are only representative of islam because they are labeled as such by the media. You percieve them as representative, but you have to remember that it is a billion adherent population, a few violent crazies in a 3rd world nation do not speak for the whole. and as for christian persecution in the united states court system? Feel free to continue fornication with that chicken... You must really love playing victim... your religion receives the most favorable treatment of any religion in our courtrooms, hell the 10 commandments are still posted in courtrooms all over this country. People are still asked to swear on bibles in courtrooms all across this country (no not in every case, but it still happens)... Please enlighten me as to how poor christians are persecuted in the united states. Specific examples... Like how coincidentally all of your holidays are also national holidays...that kind of persecution? or like how you plan to build a house of worship on property you own, and it gets blocked by the court system of Murfreesboro Tennessee? that kind of persecution?
  15. Did Sen. Mitch McConnell really filibuster his own proposed bill? WTF http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/12/mcconnell-filibusters-his-own-bill-to-lift-debt-limit.php
  16. kewl beginner bike man...enjoy! I wouldn't mind having one around to train people on.
  17. The biggest problem you have here is labeling these people "muslims"... first and foremost. Yes, most of them happen to be Muslim, but that isn't a deciding factor in their violence, it's just their some of their excuse for some it... It would be like if every crime that was committed by someone who happened to be christian was first labeled as such... "Christian pushes man in front of subway train" "Christian kills wife, and then commits suicide" "Christian shoots and kills several people in a crowded movie theater" "Christian goes on shooting rampage while attempting to kill a congresswoman" yes, those are factually accurate, but none of those things happened because the person was a christian. Even the examples I posted earlier. "Christian drowns her children" "Christian kills his girlfriend" "Christian kills his daughter" Would be an awfully skewed perception of reality, although they are factually accurate and they did blame their religion for their actions... So stop thinking about people in the news who are committing these violent acts as people who are representative of the Muslim population or the religion of Islam as a whole, because they simply are not.
  18. been there a few times... the surge tube doesn't last that long.
  19. I got a lot of respect for you doc, and some of the things you've said I totally agree with. It's easy for some to blame someone on the other side of a tv screen for your problems. It's easy for outgroups to hate each other and members to follow suit on an individual basis. It sure would be nice if people were to put aside their beloved fairy tales and start dealing with others on the basis of logic and reason.
  20. I didn't twist shit, I wrote the original english translated text, word for word. plain english... seems you're the one trying to do some twisting, spinning, and apologetics. I didn't say they were to blame, I said they agree with you, you're not alone.
  21. so now YOU are the judge as to who is a true christian or not? That's an awfully important post you've been assigned.
  22. the fuck they aren't!! http://www.cephas-library.com/assembly_of_god/assembly_of_god_member_killed_her_sons.html http://blog.beliefnet.com/news/2011/03/man-who-says-god-told-him-to-k.php http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=5424804&page=1 http://www.rationalresponders.com/forum/the_rational_response_squad_radio_show/hamurookis_irrational_precepts/3689 http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=7e1aebea-03b8-4cb5-8edd-eb705e1c04ba spend some time on google... you will find hundreds, thousands of cases where people have murdered and blamed their god... murdered their own children or parents... Remember what it means to be a true christian. you got glenn beck and the fox news nation backing you up...
