RE: Just what you deserve

Wow! So sorry to hear this and I do hope your child will recover from this, as well as you. Call the cops, talk to your ex, set things straight, and do use the legal system. Your ex's girlfriend is barbaric. I can't believe I am hearing this. I can't say what I would do if this happened to my kid, and I don't even want to entertain that thought.

Use the legal system if you can my dear.

How deep is your love?

Aha! "Lost in Love" you mean? Projection at its finest! Or help when we need it?




My stance will always be that love is what we are, in all of its forms. Subjective definitions of course.

How deep is your love?

Lovely!

RE: Why you are Unhappy.

But there was only one object in the sentence repeated twice? Is that so wrong? No worries, I'll be grammatical sound in the future so there are no confusions.

How deep is your love?

All you need is love?

RE: Why you are Unhappy.

Why?

I love you Ambrose.

I love you, Ambrose.

I love you---Ambrose.

Seems fine to me imo...

How deep is your love?

Discuss your concepts of love. What is deep love? What is this "true love"? Is love an absolute, universal, and innate? Tell me about the different degrees of love. What would we be without love? Why do you love your life, friends, family members, and romantic partners? Why should they love you? Why should life and existence love you? Answer as you wish...

RE: Why you are Unhappy.

I love you Ambrose.

RE: Do you beleive 9\11 was a inside job/?

RE: Why you are Unhappy.

To keep it simple, I'm happy just because I choose to be happy. I don't need lists/goals, I don't need conditions, I don't need your values, I don't need toys---I just need a clear mind and existence. That simple. I choose to be happy right now in the present state of being. I don't say "I'll be happy when this or that happens", or "I'll be happy if I you do this or that for me". Happiness is not easy to achieve or sustain, but knowing that you are the one who decides happiness or disharmony is power and a sense of self-control.

Desires will cause static and I do agree with that Eastern idea from a materialistic sense, but we all do desire love in some form---whether it's from our kids or friends, our loved ones, the love for excitement/harmony, and even from the Self. To disconnect from this desire is not being imo. We are only human, and should embrace it. Being is believing and believing is being. If not, then what are you without your beliefs?

RE: What is your favorite sport?

This should sum it up...

RE: Why do people feel the need to believe in religion

It gives profound spiritual meaning to them on many levels. That was easy...

RE: Which Holy Book comes after Holy Bible?

Pretty sure Magna is still celebrating Agreed, there needs to be balance in a democracy, and the voters made it clear that Sweden's political landscape has dramatically changed. Personally, I'm in agreement with the far-right about immigration. It's just not working here and in this economy, measures have to be taken in order to manage the crisis. The center-right has done that very well by reducing some of the too generous welfare subsidies since some things here are exploited.

RE: Which Holy Book comes after Holy Bible?

Funny you mention that since spicy propaganda has finally made it into Swedish politics now. The Sweden Democrat party (far-right), made it into the Parliament for the first time, and there has been lots of civil unrest here and distorted truths about them haha.

RE: Supporting the losers

I thought this was going to be about Sweden's generous welfare state, and how immigrants put a strain on the economy

RE: Which Holy Book comes after Holy Bible?

Good point and true. I am in a current exchange via email with a baseball teammate of mine from this year. He is a Baptist from Atlanta, and I asked him for his view on the violent passages in the Bible. He gave me some sensible responses, but could not really clear up why those passages are in there, since he really doesn't know.

RE: Which Holy Book comes after Holy Bible?

Agreed and great links.





Good point. European Muslims from the Balkans or Turkey are much more progressive and modern than Muslims in the Arab world and parts of Asia or Africa. There are different branches within Islam, and there are even conflicts between Shia's and Sunni's. Imagine that! All religions and their branches have conflicts, funny really.

RE: Which Holy Book comes after Holy Bible?

I was just pointing out "the other side". I'm not isolating Islam, just pointing out the reality of Islamic countries who are not very understanding people. That is a reality that cannot be refuted.

The acts of man happen because of causality. There are always faults.

Europe's history has always been warlike, before and after Christianity.

I can illustrate many examples of the rants I have about Christianity if needed. My point is, religion needs to be evolved since its doctrines are based on duality and superiority.

Everybody is to blame. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

I don't know if you can really show without a reason of doubt that Pagans were more warlike than monotheistic believers.

Official 2010 NFL Thread

Wow, the Steelers can just straight up D! They shut down Chris Johnson and snapped his 12 game streak of 100 yards. The Steelers may be the team to beat this year when Big Ben comes back. Congrats sweety! Chargers looking good as well!

Today's biggest shocker was Cutler and Bears taking it the Cowboys! Luvin' it! Hate the Cowboys.

I'm currently watching the Raiders-Rams, and the Patriots-Jets.

And it is all about the ride!! Whooo hooooo!!!!!

Bless football!!!

Back out to my games...

RE: WAR..ARE THEIR ANY HEROES

What is everybody's thoughts on the ongoing conflict between the Jedi and the Sith? Is there anything behind this Jedi prophecy to bring balance to the Force? Things don't look good for the Galactic Republic....

RE: College Football...Alabama vs Duke

SEC fans annoy me! Every year, I wish for Alabama to lose, and when they do, I throw a party and engage in a peyote ritual. Only because of Saban.

Hey opentuit

Oh my, your profile pic just sent my hormones off the charts

Anyways, I don't see the Steelers pulling it out tomorrow at Tennessee. Big Ben will be needed in this game, and too bad he'll be watching. Sorry But hey, the Chargers should win for their home opener.

Are you going to watch the games at home or at a sportsbar tomorrow?

Official 2010 NFL Thread

Okay, had to start a thread where Americans and NFL lovers know exactly what is going on in here. Reb's thread had too many anti-NFL'ers. Not many things irritate me, but when somebody comes into a NFL thread and has a need to tell us what real football is, well, I just don't like it. Waste of space in a thread. Also, Reb's thread was just inviting trolls to come in there and tell us how soccer or Rugby was real football.

Anyways, college and high school football talk is encouraged here.

Now, some thoughts for this week. I'm just playing along with the spreads and over/unders, so no I did not wager money on these games and with my picks, but I plan to wager on some games tomorrow.

Week 2:


My thoughts for this week. And the picks are not my official ones as far as wagering. Just having some fun with the spreads and over/unders.


KC @ CLE (-2) (38.5) - If Seneca Wallace plays, I think it will be a positive. Holmgren brought him to Cleveland for this reason. When he started for some games a couple of years ago, his numbers were efficient (11 TD's/3 interceptions), plus he can make some plays with his legs. These two teams played in a shootout last year, but this time around I see a low scoring game.  Also, the Chiefs are not at home, and they don't fare well on the road. Cassel is still Cassel, and  Cribbs can match McCluster and Arenas if they do go off on special teams. I like Cleveland here, and the under.

BUF @ GB (-13) (42½) - Green Bay's offensive line can run block, and Brandon Jackson is a capable back up and may show a bit more. I expect to see a balanced attack here by the Packers, and their defense won't have to do much since Trent Edwards scares nobody. Home opener for the Pack, this has lock (moneyline) written all over it, and I like the Pack to cover---and throw in the over here---Pack will put up 30+. *Darky's lock SU on the moneyline!!!1111

BAL (-3) @ CIN (39½) - The Bengals swept the Ravens last year, and the Ravens swept the Bengals in 08, so zero point that. I expect a tightly contested game in which the Ravens will cover. The Ravens defense appears to be back in superior form from what I saw, and Boldin really makes that offense a bit more efficient. Cinci's defense should rebound from last week, but only enough for me to like the under in this one.

PIT @ TEN (-5) (+37) - CJ has rushed for 69 and 57 yards in his two games against the Steelers. The Steelers trademark on defense is shutting down the run and blitzing. CJ's 12 game streak of 100+ yards will come to an end, but the Titans will pull it out because Vince Young has that kind of ugly magic to win games and beat the blitz with his legs. The under is low, but I see field goals dominating the scoring here, the under is all mine.

PHI (-6.5) @ DET (41½) - The Eagles are going to manhandle the Lion's weak offensive line. It'll be a long day for Shawn Hill with all the pressure the Eagles will bring. I don't see the Lions having success running the ball, and Sims is a force there at OLB. Eagles straight up and ATS. I like the over as well. The Lions were the worst at defending the pass last year, and though they upgraded in the trenches, certainly not in the backfield.

CHI @ DAL (-7) (40½) - Dallas may have the best defensive front in the business. That'll be enough to cause havoc at home against the mistake prone Cutler offense. Romo and the offense can't possibly repeat last week's funk and penalties (using Spock's logic), so I see them being a bit more efficient, but nothing that will give any signs of The Look. I'm taking Dallas SU, ATS, and I like the under here.

RE: Do you smoke the dreaded green stuff?

Well, I forgot to add that weed is not the best thing for a teen to get into---especially if they start burning everyday and become really irresponsible. Some teens can pull it off, but from what I have seen, heavy use leads to bad things---like bad grades, obesity, being non-active, and maybe trying other drugs---I'm not saying it's a gateway drug, but if you are in company that has some other "goodies" besides the green, then exploration can turn out bad if somebody get hooked on meth---that is just a little example and not a description of how things will always turn out. Cigarettes and alcohol are always done first before any other drug, so there is your gateway drug lol.

RE: Do you smoke the dreaded green stuff?

I'll smoke out once or twice a year, but that's it. And it's usually when I'm kinda drunk at some after party.

I had my pothead phase in my 20's, and I guess it served its purpose at the time haha! I did smoke out a bit more in my early 30's, like 1-2 times a month, but these days I just prefer to only drink.

I don't see any issues with it really, I just don't like doing it anymore.
