We could even have a side bet of 6:1 that the pitcher gets that first hit
If the game uses DHs instead of Pitchers at the plate, then I think 20:1 that the pitcher gets the first hit is still a fair line

Just a couple thoughts I had after reading the link here, didnt read the convo going on, but I think the world would be a better place if Atheists called all the shots. At least they know how important your life is and wont throw it away by sending you somewhere like Iraq.
Also, it seems to me nothing teaches intolerance of each other quite like religion does, if you really think about it.
One more, its hard to threaten me that I will go to hell for not believing in your god, when basically today, is hell already. And people have it worse than me and I think im living in hell. WTF?
Jesus said, "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS those who curse you,DO GOOD to those you hate you, and PRAY for those who despitefully use you, and persecute you THAT YOU MAY BE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN" (Matthew 5:44-45)Quote:

Easing back in, testing the waters.
Did you read the thread in Sports Talk about that new 16 year-old "phenom" who wants to play for the Yankees? We were wondering if it was your child. Didn't you have a Las Vegas sabbatical once?
Sorry never been to Vegas.....Quote:

Hmmmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue (or the keyboard) as well yet, but it might grow on me.
Whats the definition of pointless here?
If for example theres evidence that says binglebop is going to rob a bank, and take many hostages in the process. Much of the local intelligence says as such, much of the calls made to other regions confirm this evidence....and the local police decide to obtain state police assistance and set up a large scale sting to stop this threat. The local public is made aware of this issue and LARGELY SUPPORT IT, as does the mayor..town council, local businesses, pretty much all of the community. In addition, all of these people AGREE that the threat is significant enough to demand this action, EVEN if it turns out the evidence is proved wrong.
Was it pointless to take this course of action after we learn the evidence was wrong and public support for it no longer exists?
So what's the point? :pQuote:

Secondly, why would you rat out Bingle's plans on here? Now he has to come up with a whole new plan
Am I the only one lost as to where that came from?
A few posts back I said that spending $ on a pointless war wasn't a wise decision when that money could be better spent elsewhere. At least that's what I assume he's referring toQuote:

Yeah, I was informed of that. It just seemed to come out of nowhere since I hadn't read the post you were referring to since the afternoon, you did not quote it, and there were a bunch of totally unrelated posts immediately in front of your post, so there's no need for the backhanded "this is not surprising" comment.Quote:

That's what Axl Rose said! "Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain."
That's because we are limited by our perceptions and experience. Both of those pale in comparison to the vastness of the universe.Quote:
