9 HR’s what? -
Kelly for sure. Like everything about her. See @TheNewGirl— that’s at least 3 women I don’t despise counting my wife and you!

Cultural existential threat: Marxism and Moral Relativism
MLCKAA replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
This is a really far divergence from what I posted. In a nutshell, I was criticizing Christians for rejecting moral relativism because it seems like the foreseeable outcome of God not gracing us with the same proof of himself that he bestowed on biblical period people. -
Thanks for the real list.

Cultural existential threat: Marxism and Moral Relativism
MLCKAA replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
Thanks for posting. Judeo Christian morality was the foundation of the US for a long time and some would say it still is or that it still should be. Judeo Christian beliefs reject moral relativism. Most of my life, I accepted that. I have come to believe that some things are relative and I can’t accept a calcified enforcement of JC morality across the board. In John Jesus is quoted as saying that if he had not come and talked to Man about God, and shown them miracles, then their lives would not be sinful. But because he came and spoke to them and showed them miracles, they have no excuse for not believing and therefore are guilty of sin. Alas, that was 2,000 years ago. I do not mean to be flippant when I say that you and I have only a 2k year old text for reference. He did not talk to me or show me miracles. I was not shown that same grace. And this is where my problem with strict morality begins. If God created us with this FREE WILL that my fellow Christians love to mention, then he would foresee that we (alive today) would need the same grace as what was shown to people in biblical times. He would foresee that we would question, doubt and adapt morality. I believe we were created and, because of that, I must believe that he foresaw the evolution of morality 2k years post-gospel and has chosen not to prevent it. -
I do not believe you can quantify a number of deaths caused by people discouraging others from getting the vaccine.

My team? I acknowledged that it happened. You’re overreacting toward me. I don’t post much, but I post enough that it should be known where my politics are. But, ehhhhh, good for you letting off some steam there.
-
Dude, I acknowledged that it happened. I didn’t claim there was nothing to see. Just expressing my surprise that some people are still really fired up about it. And it wasn’t a dis, as I said. You do you, brother. Party on.
-
It is all theoretical. How and why are too often conflated.
-
It surprises me that people are still really fired up about this. To me, this issue is over as we’ve moved to a new phase of dealing with coronavirus. I’m not saying the shaming and condescension didn’t happen and I’m not dissing @Maximum Overkill and others for talking about it. I’m just surprised that anyone is still worked up about it.

Basketball fans deserve a better pro league than the NBA. Youth, HS, college— all are good to watch. The NBA is a scam. I yearn for an upstart competitor.

This looks like it will be one of the worst movies of all time.

Ann Coulter goes full white supremacist

You say you don’t care if other countries are diverse, but then say you want other countries to see us as an example of how things should be. By your standards, we should be racially and ethnically diverse. By your other standard, therefore, other countries should also be racially and ethnically diverse. -

There seems to be this set of actors who I find I always enjoy in every movie role. Paul Rudd, Ryan Gosling, Jon Hamm, Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds, DiCaprio, Bale, Depp.

In the fridge they last a few days, but in the freezer it’s indefinite. -

Would you rather be left in the woods alone with a bear or a woman?
MLCKAA replied to cmh6476's topic in The Geek Club
Probably the bear. If the woman were lobotomized, then *maybe* the woman, but probably still the bear. -

Spot-on comment about “overweight” by BMI standards! Started losing weight last July when I began paying attention to cholesterol. When I’d dropped about 20 pounds I found myself in the overweight category, and I didn’t disagree. The ridiculous part was that based on the BMI chart, I was gonna need to get my 6 ft self all the way down to 178# to get to “normal.” 178 on me would look like post-chemo.
