Tinkybabe: A large truck is crossing a bridge 100 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.

Where is the trap here.... how is the bridge built, suspended from the ground??

LagosShia: You're a fool like him!

Eloquent and intelligent

AbdulSleek: Defending a statement logically is what matters.

Then you aren't a muslim...

The IPU is popular, if you do not understand the concept you could always google it, and @macs variation was well explained. This is unintelligible nonsense, provided with little context

vedaxcool: Like logicboy's equivalent, you would notice that the Pink Unicorn argument can be used in unraveling atheism.


A man wakes up one day to meet a Pink unicorn (professionally done by logicboy ) standing in front of his house, well the following are some of the first thoughts that strikes the man's thought who happens to be an atheist:

1) He is likely to believe that some made the unicorn and place in front of his house rather than assume the Unicorn evolved or magically appeared.

Proffesionally done? wtf does that mean? Do you mean created? Or do you mean a horse made to look like a unicorn?
Some made? Someone or something made, is that what you mean?
And why in the world should he dismiss evolution, or genetic mutations (though not likely, as too much of a radical change)?

vedaxcool: Now the two contending positions are:

1) Someone did make the Unicorn (professionally done by logicboy)

2) The Unicorn appeared by itself without any maker.

For no 1 you mean to say the unicorn is a hoax? Ok assumption, but could have found worse ways to present this?
For 2, appeared without a maker You do realize that in this universe, there are some physical laws that cannot be disobeyed?
And what the hell happened to evolution?

vedaxcool: Second scenario
To compound the matter though logicboy the maker stood by the unicorn when the man involved woke up, the man asked logicboy who placed it there? Logicboy tries to play a fast one the man and then say, the unicorn appeared out of thin air and hence drew the his attention to it. Well the man says this hogwash, I don't believe you, someone must have made it and move it here. Logicboy but as an atheist you are no stranger to believe that something could come from nothing? So why argue to the contrary? Well it does just make sense, The man insisted.

Comments

Hence drew what clusterf*** of an attention?
That's as far as I can go. The rest is just...
In essence, WTF are you trying to say?

Note, atheists do not contend to know what first cause is. Most of us just contend that NOBODY KNOWS. For you to make some silly assumptions, that could be used either ways, are illogical, unverifiable etc, and claim them to be some sort of truths borders on lunacy.

@myers
It's more or else unanswerable, unless looking for teh actual statistic, in which case one should just googles (you could googol any riddle as well actually) a fact, not a riddle, making this trivia. And the previous one the coffin maker did not invent the coffin, the man buying one does need it to bury the dead man, the dead man could care less, well, he can't care at all.
Of course I could just be a pedantic sore loser

Akwenuke marho: gbam!!! U don knack d nail for head. Correct guy!!!

It seems to me good ser, they don't think these things out properly, or there's an element of wishful thinking. Good intentions are fine, but they are not good enough...

Oh yes and if on enjoyed dragonaut (I loathed it, stoopid gonzo time wasting bast***s, but I'd still recommend these) you might as well see ikkitousen, queens blade, and particularly QWASER. They all have brilliant plots, action, xter development, logic among many other things...

Akbar10: several things are involved in this issue-
1. a lot of wrong has been done in the name of xtianity, which truth always catch up with,as the Inquisitions of the dark ages show, as well as the Crusades against Muslims to liberate Jerusalem. Isnt it however worthy of note that the dark ages was ended by a return to Biblical xtianity, in the Reformation pioneered by Martin Luther, et al?

2. worthy of note as well is that the industrial revolution began almost immediately after the Reformation, and in the same Germany!

3. truly there was a list of prohibited books by the Catholic church in the darkmages, but do you know that the Bible headed that list? the dark ages was not xtianity being anti-progress, it was rather mankind's inherent greed and wickedness being sponsored by the prevailing religious organization of the day. a return to the Bible was the only thing that released mankind from such wickedness.science was not so much the target as a knowledge of God which always makes people to rise up and embrace freedom and enlightenement

4. many xtians may have failed God, as i writing has done many times, but the standards of God and right living do not change. Abortion may be a hot issue, but if u have ever had an abortion, or interacted with one who has(again, i have done so), you will understand that anti-abortion outbursts are for the best. the way it is carried on may be coloured by bigotry, but abortion has never been in the best interests of the lady involved, even her body tells her that.

i cant rejoin all your issues here, but i will summarize by saying what any man does is not enof reason to take ur own eternal question lightly

In summary the bible is the only good source of morality, and you speak for all women? Same bible you claim aided the renaissance etc also aided the dark ages, vastly. It is no better than other moral systems, worse than many as it's based on dogma, 2000 year old society, superstitions and other risible stuff. What universal 'truths' does it have? Why, a version of the golden rule, available long before xtianity and will continue be available so long as sentient communities exist.

Dragonauts .... Gonzo is the studio


Gonzo used to be either brilliant, or a complete and utter clusterf***... They went broke, died... Then were resurrected... Not followed since, but personally, I for on welcome our fan service overlords back

Heh heh, op, who do you has the right to that silly holier than thou atitude? The one who's holy because he fears a spanking, or the one who's holy despite a spanking?

PhysicsQED: I watched Mnemosyne a little while after seeing you mention it here. There was some violence in each episode, definitely, and she did keep getting killed, but the perverseness/lewdness of parts of the story and the sex-related content stood out to me much more than the violence. Overall it was very entertaining (although the ending was a bit weird/gross). Thanks for (unintentionally) bringing it to my attention.

I think I'll take a look at 3*3 eyes as well.

My inability to focus probably got in the way, 3x3 eyes is probably one of the softer I recommended as far as violence is concerned. Looking at that list, I'd say they are more, what word to use... disturbing (still can't think of a better term) than violent shonen-like. I suppose something like s-cryed or gun x sword would qualify as violent, they each have a monster of the week (and are directed by oga goro from code geass, does code geass qualify as violent?).
Then again, they are also more or else regular shonen which are sort of ubiquitous. Stand out, as far as having a different feel and being fairly violent I would think would be shigurui, maybe baccano (def different, well, seinen at least, I'm just not a huge fan, but it's undeniably good). 3x3 eyes does have its charm though, you could say it has its own unique feel, and the prerequisite hapless immortal violently dying rather creatively again, and again, lol (personally, I'd rather watch 3x3 over say baccano, but I can't say it's the more violent).

Others violent, fairly disturbing,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpse_Princess
Is a strange beast, didn't pick up for me till later episodes, when it did though it did well. has it's unique feel too, fairly violent, some great action scenes...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdy_the_Mighty
Never really grabbed me as far story is concerned. Action scenes different, but perhaps the best I've seen. Some are just ridiculous

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ga-rei
Never finished this, can't remember why, story was meh I guess. action? violence? Has one of the best opening episodes I've seen as far those 2 categories were concerned, and sort of maintained the pace.



I got the kip thorne book you reccommended a while back, thanks, its been useful, I hope to digest it properly soon enough

mkmyers45: Which word in the English
language is most frequently
spelled wrong?

Wrong, or ok

mkmyers45: The man who invented it
doesn't want it. The man
who bought it doesn't need
it. The man who needs it
doesn't know it. What is it?

Trouble?
But the last bit doesn't fit, so not likely..

There was a time the popular gods of the west endorsed violence, zeus, odin, bad mofos who didn't afraid anything. Eventually ppl grew tired of their shenanigans, the violence, hubris, decadence (I have no problem with that one), injustice, risible logic (not like today's popular faiths are any better, just thought I'd leave that in as a troll of sorts) etc. Also some other clueless religion happened to be around complete with populist appeal and messages of peace. The rest, as they say, is history.

Note, islams populist appeal will be lost, once the sheep realize just how ridiculous a distance lies between them and their 4 wived sheiks

vedaxcool: Unfortunately nothing in school prepare one for this sort of people . . .

See what I mean @okey, in your blind bid to defend obama, you've fallen to the level of this delirious hypocrite. I'd be concerned...

KingMEXX: Why wont they sadden yu, because yu knw yur belief cant answer such questions or can yu gv it a shot at? Common, dnt hide yur knowledge only for yurself kikiki

Why are you proud of being ignorant? And probably stoopid as well? When you sneeze, do you still think that you're dispelling evil spirits from your body? You cover your mouth when you yawn so these winchies cannot enter your soul? Mayhaps you have a faith powered computer? Is the earth still flat, the universe revolving around it?
Read up on god of the gaps pls to help your cancer

okeyxyz: A fanatic clown you are.

Is that a demotion or promotion from not being an adult
The other one claimed I was uncivilized, while adding little of merit (most of it glaringly obvious, the rest parroting you more or else)
The last is re.tarded but simultaneously so wise nothing he says makes sense. That one called me fanatic as well

This thread has been fun



Edit: btw perhaps you should be worried that you and @vedax agree on something.. I probably would be, then again I actually agree with faux news on this issue, so stranger things have happened

^^^^
And nothing of value was lost.
Thanks


edit: btw, there are some really overpriced football players out there, carrol, I'm looking at you
There are some dysfunctional countries out there, 9ja, I'm looking at you
There are some really hypocritical religions out there, islam, I'm look....(riots, murders, etc)
There are some inane posters out there... I won't call any names...

You won't read this actually, but meh...

Callotti: You are entitled to you opinions.
The White House is entitled to theirs.
So, stop 'watching' Obama if you really believe in 'free speech'!

Ermm, what does this even mean? The first link you posted was fairly useless, should I bother with the others? Do you have any arguments to support your case other than the ones already presented? If you do, state them rather than wasting our time pls. You were basically appealing to authority earlier, now I have no idea as to what you are trying to do.

Btw, if you're defending obama simply because he's black, you're doing it wrong.

Callotti: Good!
This is a White House matter. Allow them to handle it however they deem fit.
The apology was justified, for many reasons.
For one, not all Christians or Americans share the views of this so-calledFor 'Innocence Director'!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPBAXMrV6i4

My opinion doesn't matter, you know how opinions are. Doesn't mean I can't have one, or state it, you've heard of free speech, yes? It was justifiable for a lot of reasons, it was also unjustifiable for a lot of reasons.

Callotti: The reason you are on NL not in the WHITEHOUSE!

But I never, ever, wanted to be in the whitehouse...

vedaxcool: Point is for you to reason, you need to be honest. This seems lacking in your person.

ok

vedaxcool: ^

When you are able to address matters with civility then maybe you might get an answer. But being tired up in your fanatical rage will not even allow your already poor capacity to comprehend and draw proper deduction any more better than it gets. Your words are just a reflection of the failed beliefs you follow, which apparently has not made you a better person.

After all the respect I've afforded you, this is how you repay me...
You've made me very sad...

vedaxcool: A man gets arrested for parole violations,and yet we see a fanatic altering the entire picture to suit his fanatical paranoia, suddenly in his fanatical world parole violation is equivalent to defending freedom. Smh, when will some people learn to think ?

You still retar.ded? I think its supposed to be genetic or something, so it might last a life time. Considering your infinite wisdom, could you tell me if that is correct pls?
I might be mistaken, but that is a fantastically simple way of looking at things, don't you think? Maybe you could continue to enlighten me, where do I imply that his parole violation equates to defending freedom. Do I even state he did right by violating his parole?

And a muslim using the word fanatic is a bit moronic, don't you think?

Callotti: Unlike you. . . CIVILIZED politicians are the best diplomats.
This is an election year in OUR great USA. . .if you have forgotten. . .lemme remind you 'gently'.
Only an African politician remains tactless even in the face of an election year. . .because there are no elections in AFRICA!

Muslim votes. . .also count in the USA. . .like "gay votes"!
There is no price to high to pay for an American vote. . .unlike an AFRICAN VOTE which has no human attached to it!

Still too much of a price to pay....far too much, just for some votes... Actually if that's his excuse, that's disgusting... If he has some long range plan, I can't see it. If there is one, it better be worth it. Votes? You know how selfish that sounds? He sells out freedom so he could boss about for another 4 years? Leaving the rest of the world what? Leaving his legacy what? For now, I will suffer the ignominy of agreeing with faux news.

Callotti: The Americans are not stoopid.
We all know why 'Mr. Director Oshi' is being arrested.
Violating the terms of his parole is ony a 'front'. . . we all know the 'back' of it all!
Mu che che che che che che. . .
Someon must pay for the death of the AMERICANS in Libya!
Period!
Obama knows his too!

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm... I'm not convinced yet... but maybe, yes, some sort of clever sucker punch... But surely it could have been achieved without the 'apology'... That's too much a price to pay...

okeyxyz: Broda!! So after all the rants and huffing and puffing, You'd finally come down to earth, acknowledging that there's little you can accomplish without the power to back your ideals up, now you are hoping america & europe will rise up to defend victims of oppression in arab/moslem countries, as if they don't have problems of their own. Why do you think Syria is still boiling? Nobody simply wants to risk the costs of intervention. Like i said before, I feel your pains but i'd realised(way before you) that there are other ways of managing these situations rather than escalating them. You can huff & puff all you want as long as you are in america/europe, but america/europe are just one side of civilization while the rest of the world are little more than jungles, where the most heinous crimes happen and there are little or no investigations, let alone arrests/prosecutions, and these are the places where the consequences of your "liberties" are felt. simple.

Peace!!!

Huffing and puffing is what I do when bored. This response is silly though... You seem to be missing the point, declaring victory then running off. How dare you?! I'm not done with you! Come back here! WTH kind of response is that. You have aknowledged my point with the bolded. It happens in the rest of the world. IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN THE FREE WORLD. THEY ARE THE STANDARD THAT OTHER FREEDOM LOVERS LOOK UP TO. IF THEY CAN BE SUCH PU$$IES WHAT DO YOU THINK THE REST OF US FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS SHOULD BE? You are pu$$ying (is that a word?) out, simple. $hit is f****d up in many parts of the world (even in the west but they gloss it well, and are overall light years ahead of the 3rd world), true, but that's how it is, and frankly, a lot of it is our fault. People get governments they deserve, Saddam, Abacha, PDP wouldn't be in power without support. Other silly $hit we do, for instance, if we didn't spend so much time leaving it to god and preparing for whatever rapture I'm sure things would improve drastically. We'll deal with it, it's not (fully) their fault we are so dysfunctional. And that is not an excuse for them to back down on their principles, in fact it should be motivation for them to defend them even more. They should be showing to the world the advantages of endorsing strong human rights, now quivering.

I expect another silly response simply because you insist on being stubborn, naturally. Where have you been btw? How work? Yield...

vedaxcool: Thank goodness you proved my point, inability to comprehend and sheer dishonesty making a double impact on your miniscule brain oh mere mortal!

You have a point? Could you point it out?
You seem to be saying I do not understand the profound argument you're making while simultaneously saying that I understand but I'm feigning ignorance, that's why I think you're ret.arded. As I genuinely don't get your points, I ask, then you use the "logic" above to dodge answering simple questions. Or am I missing something?

What is defamation, your big-brainess?

vedaxcool: Off course mere mortal u did not read the dishonesty part of my statement did you?

I qualify as one of the people you're addressing? So are you saying I know the meaning of defamation but I'm disingenuous? Can you think of a reason to why I'd go out of my way to do that? Is it because muslims are special? Are you retar.ded?

What does defamation mean, oh wise one?

Nah brah it sounds to me like you're cowering in fear as well. Protecting freedoms is something adults don't do? Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. Their whole country was built around protecting freedoms. If he continues to appear apologetic then they've already lost free speech. The "leader of the free world", imagine that. Xtians recently brought up a painting made decades ago, demanding an apology from the administration. And why not? Only muslims have that privilege? The benchmark of hypocrisy. They've had their way with these issues for too long, now their making silly demands like this. What's next? Westerners most add pbuh whenever they hear mohs name? What in this universe gives them the right to tell me what I can or cannot watch? From now on, shall have only stories of his most exalted saving jews via pogroms while liberating repressed western women?

Obama, practical, heh heh, no. Been a while since I followed us politics, the way he dealt with republicans then was downright naive. It was patently obvious they intended to troll everything he did, yet he still insisted on playing fair. The results? Few of those, due to stagnation. Republicans knew they could not-so-subtly push him around, expect the islamic world to follow suit. Clinton was practical. To the point of passing laws which he probably found repulsive, this to achieve victory in the war, not the battle. Obama is just being naïve mr nice guy. And you call me an idealist. Note, refusing to comment on the issue, or in fact defending the mans right's publicly isn't going cause any major conflict. What gives you that idea? For instance, Danish president refused to meet various ambassadors after that silly affair with the comics, that didn't effect an already ridiculous situation

I've done my part, no need to get into that. Its not much, but still, its what I could manage, and its made my life a lot more difficult. There are many trying to escape, and they should not have to wait because some people are too scared, or bent on making a profit. Others shouldn't have their rights taken away, by an extremely hypocritical group no less. You expect us all to leave it to god and get our goodies in the afterlife, ignoring the state of this world? Hahahahahahaha. I hope you aren't serious..

vedaxcool: so with all you guys hyped education and overated IQ, the best you could come up with is your serial inability to understand what defame means? No wonder this country is veering off course when even the so called educated class cannot understand simple words without their deliberate dishonesty and untruthfulness!

I can now see why Isreal keeps kicking you guys out, you cannot afterall become children of God by just chanting hymns without character change!

You could try explaining it to us mere mortals
