    The Pyramids were created by humans, obviously. Back then, as well as right now, people in the lower classes of society can't simply say "fuck it" when faced with heavy labour from the higher classes. They're forced into submission either by force or by manipulation and just do what they're told by their masters because, in their minds, they must. How did they move them? They just did. They pulled, pushed and died in droves building those awesome mounds of rocks. Why? Because they had to. It's that simple.

    No one said it. The "Not" was supposed to indicate the sentence that came before it was pure sarcasm. I was creating an analogy between the ludicrous idea that the world was once a tower and the idea that the whole universe was once a single point smaller than an electron. My point: Reversing actions in order to determine what happened in the past only works up to a point, after than point it becomes idiotic because the nature of the problem increases in complexity and the Big Bang Theory as presented by Smuel does not deal with the increased complexity.

    John 8:7 followed by Romans 3:23

    We're not pets; We're children.

    • run-on sentence 
      –noun
      a written sequence of two or more main clauses that are not separated by a period or semicolon or joined by a conjunction.

    My Long Sentence was a long chain of subordinate clauses not main clauses.

    Neither you nor I are sufficiently qualified in astrophysics to make this judgement. However, the people who ARE qualified say that it does.

    This is just semantics, but "children" grow up to be like their parents, and also fully independent of them. Whereas "pets" are inferior beings, and remain dependent. So in the Christian model, we are more like God's pets than God's children.

    What would have been funnier is Deuteronomy 5:17, since it's the very same book. I don't think that proving the fact that the Bible is enormously ambiguous and contradictory helps whatever nonsense case you have at all.

    Now, I'm no expert, but the rules of debate, as I understand them, dictate that the person to first use a term is the person who chooses the definition being used, or haven't you heard similarly?

    Quote of the week: "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice."

    Damn, that comment leveled up my Troll. -- On one shoulder sits my angelic "puppy" self, pure but naïve, whose naivety is commonly mistaken as stupidity. And on my other shoulder sits my demonic "troll" self, who needs no description. Which do you suppose is the higher level (considering they both piss WS off) Mr. Stupid or Mr. Smartass?


    Need? It's a good thing that understanding others isn't a necessity to life and survival because even if I did have to explain something to you that you couldn't figure out, you still won't "need" the explanation.


    Man, I wish I was attached to a female's incline plane wrapped helically around my axis.

    It would be a "Yo, babe, how about a nice . . . hug." :wink:

    -------------

    "I am always wrong." Meaning nothing I say can be taken to its Logical Conclusion. In other words, I am full of shit. But then bullshit ain't logical, in that it doesn't follow the rules of logic. Of course, seeds tend to pass through a bull's system; meaning that Seeds of Truth may still be present in what I say; therefore you can't ASSume deception.

    Everyone is full of shit, and I am willing to admit it. But you, wayne, are drowning in it because everything you say gets people to shit ON you. So why don't you go clean up your act. Because you stink.

    Now I'm not even going to be so vociferous anymore. Who can argue with a man who thinks 'I am always wrong' makes sense to say? Presumably, he's taking it from the Bible — possibly from Psalm 116:11, and then (probably incorrectly) extending it to St. Jerome's interpretation, without realizing why that doesn't make sense (as St. Jerry himself did).

    You did not just roll out the word vociferous.

    This shit is getting so consonanty I can hardly feel my vowels.

    You need to be careful with your words in this thread, 'cause people, who might not wish to be named, like Xyle seem to take the word out of its context, choose a certain definition that's unreconcilable with - and unsympathetic to - the context, apply that definition to the context, see that it doesn't fit, and think that there's something perspicacious about that. I wonder if he balks every time someone uses the word 'plant' for both power plants and garden plants!

    There do seem to be only the slightest of differences between "Mr Smartass" and "Mr Stupid."

    As in there's only Mr Stupid confusing himself with a smartass.

    And I wasn't aware that the sole usage of the word 'need' was one which refers to a thing's necessity of being obtained in order to prevent death; so it turns out that people who say that they need to study hard to get good grades aren't making any sense, which would, of course, be indicative of their low grades, if they're in English!

    Actually, in England we systematically dispose of underachievers.

    Speaking of the English, I just found out that,
    1) Smuel is English, and
    2) He's HWLFP.

    Pretty crafty.

    Also, it's quite possible that ytzk is old.

    I don't understand this statement, since England is full of them. "What would Britain be without Chatsworth buccaneers who'd cum on your face for the price of a beer? We're perfectly suited for grinding your axes, you shit on our heads, but you pay your taxes."

    If you refer to class warfare, then righto old boy. Down with the peasants, wot?

    If you refer to deporting criminals and orphans to the colonies then... well, turns out it's much nicer underachieving here than it is working in London.

    Besides, I thought you keep the streets clean by herding pigs through them after dark.

    How did you find out about Smuel, WS?

    Also, what do you consider old?
