A cowboy rides into town on friday. He stays 3 days then he leaves on friday. How did he do that?

I just ignore the people who joke about gamers, because I have seen a wide variety of gamers in my life, many of them very successful. Everybody who games has met that really skilled and sneaky GM who keeps you on your toes and forces you to think creatively and act decisively. Those are skills that can give you an advantage in real life that others might have never had the chance to develop.

Here's a great gamer anthem, check it out:

Winner of each round posts a new riddle.


A man and his son gets into a car accident on their way home from a basketball game. The father is killed instantly. The son, however, survives and is in critical condition. When the nurse calls for the surgeon, the surgeon enters and replies, " I cannot operate on this boy, he's my son."

How is this possible?

Was Moses high on Mount Sinai?

so Moses was high on Mount Sinai? ..so is Mount Sinai the name of the drug that Moses was using to get high or the name of the mountain where Moses was high on

so Moses was "stone on drugs" ..God told Moses to stone adulterers and unruly children to death...that phrase has a whole new meaning now


laugh ROTFLMAO!

I'm 45, have traveled all over the world, been married, had 2 kids (who live with me), divorced, have a demanding job, and I still play (started with Chainmail). When I first began playing D&D, there wasn't even a DM's shield with the game...You had to buy one from Judges Guild. After introducing 2 generations of kids to the game, I am now working with a 3rd (my own sons).

I have watched D&D turn young disillusioned, bored, unmotivated, academic underachievers, well on their way to reform school, into young men & women with a firm grasp of physics, chemistry, advanced mathematics, language, history, culture & religion, not to mention giving them a huge boost in confidence, improved diction & better overall social skills. I know this because I saw the effects personally, and I was one of those kids when I first started.

Few things make me really angry, but the day Pat Robertson (on the 700 Club), held up the DM's Guide and said it was the work of Satan, I almost blew a gasket. What an idiot.

So, ZStarWind, ignore the hecklers...They're just showing their pack mentality.

flowerforyou Religion will always be with humans just as art will always be with humans.flowerforyou It has always been this way.flowerforyou Its an inherent part of being humanflowerforyou


Not for me (thank God!)

Religion is a crutch for the spiritually lame.
Me

Religion is a set of warped training wheels on the bicycle of life, that never come off.
Me

Religion is the promise of a frosted cake for those who have no bread.
Me

Religion is designed with one purpose in mind: To promote an agenda which manipulates & controls the behavior of people.

This is how it starts, slowly and carefully. Individual rights won't be taken away by conflict. They'll be given away by people who see only one side of the argument, and that side is typically motivated by fear, or by propping up a degenerate part of society.

I don't think anyone who is in favor of individual liberties is a child pornographer, or a supporter of child pornography. And anyone's attempt to use that argument, or the 'liberal' label is to be ignored by anyone with an iq over 50. Not debated with - IGNORED.

Now, I'll make a deal with you. SINCE wiretapping is apparenly only EVER going to be used to chase kiddie porno heads and terrorists, i'll give you my right to privacy one one condition.

I propose a law that allows the government to shut down or restrict religious freedom. I mean, come on! It's only to stop those 'bad' religions like Islam and whatever else we feel like demonizing. Because if you do that, then there's no way that Bill or Act would ever be used to curtail YOUR freedom, right?

Be careful what you wish for, because I have strong feeling one day we'll all get it.


Does that mean we can IGNORE you for your biased opinion and your remarks about religion? I do believe you want to do away with the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Hmmmmmmmmmm

Lindyy



I don't recall that the right to be over-pious, close-minded & irrational is specifically guaranteed by any of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution (nor by any of the rest). You are, however, free to ignore anything you wish.

Im getting my facts from the common interpretation of history. flowerforyou I take it your trying to argue a radical reinterpretation of hstory.



The COMMON interpretation of history? Please site your history book. Who wrote it?

Jeannie
flowerforyou Its the version of history that is commonly accepted as fact.flowerforyou



It is not commonly accepted as fact by me or any thinking person, especially one who deals in facts, unless you can name your source or your history book. Just because it is something you have heard your entire life over and over, that does not make it a "commonly excepted fact." So don't deal in facts if you cannot support them with anything better than that.

Jeannie
flowerforyou Im sorry, but there is a commonly accepted version of history.flowerforyou There are also alternative versions of history as well.flowerforyou


And then there's the Truth. "Commonly accepted" versions of history are transitory, and subject to revision as more facts are revealed (or disproven, or better lies are concocted, or political philosophies shift). I know of several history books which are far more accurate, in some varied regards, than ones being published currently; the inverse is also the case. To get at the Truth, it takes a lot of research. On world religions alone, I have read over 40 "definitive" works. No matter what the topic, you have to digest it all, and separate the wheat from the chaff.

flowerforyou Theres 0% chance Jesus was anything but a monotheist.


True, Jesus (Yeshua), was definitively, Jewish.


flowerforyou He's the guy that promoted monotheism onto a worldwide level.flowerforyou This is historical fact.


Not at all...Monotheism was already well established, and
if you are referring to "Christianity", that was Paul.


flowerforyou His lifes work was spreading monotheism to the world at large and it was wildly succesful even after his death.


Not really....His goal was to reform Judaism; in this regard, he failed.


flowerforyou It was a revolutionary idea in the ancient world.


Really? Unlike the concepts of Aten (Amenhotep IV or Akhnaten), Ahura Mazda (Gathas of Zoroaster), The One (Indian Rigveda) or Theos (Plato's Euthyphro)......?

It sounds like you may be confusing the proliferation of Christianity with the advent of monotheism, which is not historically accurate.

The topic is firearms.
Im all about the 2nd amendment, but as it referred in 1776, it is no longer a valid argument!!

In 1776, when the most modern Army had muskets and cannon, the idea of keeping arms for defense against Gov. tyranny was a good point.
Today it is mere symbolic.


Are you kidding?? You do realize that government tyranny still exists, right? Even if you argue that it does not exist here (ha!), it is still a valid concern. This is not merely symbolic, it is a guaranteed right of the American citizen.

And it is the backbone of the entire Constitution. If they take away the guns, then they can take away all of your freedoms and rights, because you will have no way to protest or protect yourself.


drinker
Quite right!

Remember all, your freedom rests on a foundation of 4 sequential boxes:

Soap Box
Ballot Box
Jury Box
Cartridge Box

They are your remedies to injustice.

Armed insurrection, as a last resort, is our right by Natural Law, when egregiously oppressed by a government which no longer serves us. At that point, there is no other alternative, except submission. The Constitution of the United States acknowledges & guarantees that right via the 2nd Amendment. It does not, nor does it possess the authority to, grant this right. This is what the Declaration of Independence referred to in the statement,

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

The 2nd Amendment is the cornerstone of our liberty; without it, you have no hope of securing or retaining the other 9.

A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?


Wait until sundown, then leave by door 1. :wink:

where you all get that 3 in one agree. even your alls scholars say those verses are spurious. that it does not go along with what is happening. most likely that place i believe in john was just picked to add the 3 agree.yahshua never said he was the father. he said he does the fathers will.that does not make him the father no more than me or you. we are to become adopted sons of tha father not yahshua. how do we do that. the same way by doing the fathers will and his spirit lives in us. the same spirit that lived in yahshua if we do not resist his will.this is again tradition. why is it we love tradition more than the fathers commandments. may v Yahweh's will be done..blessings...miles


even your alls scholars say those verses are spurious.

What scholars? Which verses?

If I can be just like Jesus, then why do I need him?


You don't. bigsmile

Okay so I get that they are protecting us .. but what did that little puppy do .. and it was in Hawii so it is not like they were killing it because of the diseases and things that wild dogs cats rats ect.. you think because he is a soldier he is above reproach .. He did something WRONG .. he disgraced the very uniform that he is wearing ...


flowerforyou
Slight clarification: The soldier was home-based in Hawaii, but the incident occurred in Iraq. I have a close friend who is a civilian contractor over there, and he said it's caused quite a stir because of the video.

Only small segments, if any of the u.s. military would fire on u.s. citizens. that is what the u.n. is for laugh


agreed, especially since they took a vow to defend the constitution of the u.s. against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I feel that people wouldn't take arms against the government unless their constitutional rights were being violated heavily. The troops would have to decide whether to follow orders or follow vows. I don't think soldiers would attack their own citizens. Especially if his or her family were involved.


Good points..Also, it should be noted that:

1.) The objects of the oath are in order of precedence
2.) The oath never expires, once taken; it is a life commitment

I, ______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Even after 20 years of civilian life following 8 years of active service, I am still proud to be bound by this oath.

I just hope that a large percentage of our military understands what they promised.

*Of course, the free pass is Martial Law....There is no constitutional protection then.
