Attack in Manchester, someone bombed the foyer at a Ariana Grande concert.

 

[HisIceness]

20 dead. Disgusting.

 

[GindyDraws]

Just feels like a huge punch to the nads.

Worst stadium disaster here was an explosion that killed over 60 people & injured hundreds back in 1963.

i know politics talk is a no no

but for the sake of argument

when was the last time you heard about someone bombing a place in the name of atheism?

all religion is ****ed and the world will be a better place when it goes the way of the dinosaurs (which actually did exist mind you)

I tried to engage you in this type of discussion one time privately and you never responded...

Regardless, it's kind of a potshot of an argument. Taking the perversion of a thing in argument against the thing itself is pretty literally the definition of a strawman.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

i know you did

and i did not respond because after some thought i decided that i did not want to waste either of our time

no matter how right i am it is//was unlikely to change your mind mind so i decided to call a spade a spade and use my energy on things that actually matter

i am looking at you riemann hypothesis

one day..... one day.....

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

If you say so...

There are ~1.6 billion Muslims on the planet. If Islam was THAT much of a corrupting influence, we would be living in a very different world.

Anders Breivik. The Tamil Tigers. Stalin.

Don't kid yourself, dude. There are plenty of people who have murdered innocent religious folks in the name of No God.

Religion is the excuse, not the reason. There's always an excuse: religion, race, politics. Don't confuse the reason for the excuse. You're smarter than that.

Truth. Over 100 million have been killed not for religion but simply in the name of communism in the last century.

i drew a picture of mohammed in ms paint

would you like to see it?

i am sure no ill will will be thrown my way by anyone

anyway y'all know what i meant

but in case you do not, i will let jim jeffries eloquently describe how i feel (nsfw language)

it is kinda both tho

i got raked over the coals on the main board for saying that it was a sad statement of humanity that harnarayan singh being on hnic was considered "newsworthy" in 2017

people called me every name under the sun because they thought i was racist or some **** when all i meant was that it should not be newsworthy because he is//was qualified for the job and as such got it

what color his skin is has no bearing whatsoever to me

if he can do his job then he should have it

at the end of the day we are equals

he is a human male

i am a human male

i hate the way the media tries to portray all this nonsensical bs about "oooh look! we hired a minority, look how inclusive we are!!"

it is just racism of a different sort and i have no time for it

just like i have no time for any religion or people who think the abstract correlation of when they were born when compared against zodiac signs means anything

i was born an aries but found out last year after nasa's calculations that i am actually a picses and guess what?

i am still the same ****ing person

nothing changed

it is shocking i know

I'd argue that government has became a religious institution.

 

[Unsustainable]

There are ~1.6 billion Muslims on the planet. If Islam was THAT much of a corrupting influence, we would be living in a very different world.

But when you look at the atrocities that happen in so called moderate Muslim countries on how they treat women and homosexuals....

I know y'all wanna be angry, and imma let you finish, but yoda is the greatest religious mind of all time:

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

I prefer "Be excellent to each other" by St Ted

 

[RodTheBawd]

I'm angry and hate those mother *******, bring on the suffering.

#1 Sean Connery
#2 Daniel Craig
.
#3 Roger Moore / Pierce Brosnan

.
#5 Timothy Dalton

Interestingly enough, Roger Moore was older than Connery.

For my money, George Lazenby was better than both Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. Dude was a badass.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Badass yes, but had the personality of a rock. And that's what Bond needs, to be badass, but have that personality that makes you want to be him. Kind of "the most interesting man in the world" concept. Connery and Craig had/have the total package and is why they are at the top. Lazenby and Dalton didn't which is why they are at the bottom.

Unfortunately for Roger Moore, they turned Bond into an almost cartoonish type character during his run as Bond, but part of that is because of his own style which is why I don't put him in Connery and Craig's category. Brosnan started to bring it back to it's roots, but couldn't quite carry it off.
