Tell me about it. I'm a vegetarian. I like baked beans. I've never understood the need to always throw pork into an otherwise nice dish. Don’t get me started on vegetable soup with chicken stock as the first ingredient.

I don’t think being able to read music is all that important for a guitar player. Standard music notation seems kind of awkward for guitar. You pretty much just need to know the chord progression and if you needed to transcribe a lead line or solo, tablature is much much better and easier in my opinion. I'm sure someone like EVH has a very advanced understanding of music theory whether or not he can actually "read music." Same for just about everyone mentioned in this thread.

Statements are true or false. If the stated opinion was, "I don't care for gay marriage," I would have absolutely no objection.

He presented an opinion that is false. If I said to you, "Dick Jauron is the most successful coach in the history of the NFL because my cat told me so, " you might take a moment to try to correct me on that. You might not, but you might.

How does Darwinism oppose gay marriage? Gay people have always been around, all throughout human history. Obviously, every single gay person ever born was the product of sex between a male and female. Your point is ludicrous.

Is it weird at all that this thread is making me kind of want to marry a dude?

Ah yes, the Catholic Church…, which says true love can only be between one man and one woman. Or one elderly man of god and one young boy who will keep his mouth shut if he knows what's good for him.

I think I can clear this whole thing up. Apparently it's just a great big wacky misunderstanding. All you opponents of gay marriage: You do realize of course that if it's legalized you will not actually be required to marry another dude, right? It's only for other people who want to do it.

Just because a belief is popularly held for a long time and passed down through generations does not make it true. This is one of the most common fallacies*. That is the reason so many people are critical of beliefs that are backed up with religion. If you believe something strongly, you really need to be able to back it up with reasons. Tell us why you say it's wrong--not just that your parents believed it, so you believe it too. *EDIT: Actually, it's a combination of three informal fallacies: 1. Appeal to Tradition, 2. Appeal to the Masses, 3. Appeal to Authority

Not so. The following clip states very clearly the sound, irrefutable case against same-sex marriage. (NSFW)

Happy Birthday to three people who have never been in my kitchen. Cheers!

Ooh, I want to add a really obscure one... On the Sopranos, Janice had this really lame boyfriend. He played terrible Christian music and he had narcolepsy. When people were introduced to him, he'd say, "Have you heard the good news?" Then the other person just looks at him funny and he continues, "He is risen." Then usually he would pass out asleep with his face in his dinner. That guy. He always made me laugh.

I found some other names that were included that shouldn't be... Larry Hagman Joyce Dewitt Kristy McNichol Gavin MacLeod Hey, wait a minute--this isn't the Bills roster, it's the Battle of the Network Stars lineup!

Yeah, you're right. That's more like it. And, although nobody quite understands how, the Pats gain extra first round picks for next year and 2011 in the process.

The Pats always get the best of us some way or another. Here's how I see it playing out: Bills FO: Hey, wanna swap first rounders if we give you a 4th rounder too? We really wanna grab that guy Pettigrew before Atlanta takes him. Pats FO: Sure, let's do it. Bills FO: (hmmm...that was way to easy. They must know something about Pettigrew we don't.) Nevermind, deal's off. (ha ha, they almost had us that time.) Pats FO: Ok, whatever. Morons. Then... Atlanta takes Pettigew who promptly scores 14 TD's and gets rookie of the year. Bills FO: Pats FO:

Skanky. Is it possible to get herpes from just looking at a picture?

d'oh! Sorry, I got Peters on the brain. Anyway, I don't think we gave Greer the pinata treatment. I thought the majority opinion around here is that he's a quality guy, just a victim of economics. No?

Not likely. As we all know, the contemporary zombie seeks out and feeds on live brains.

That's encouraging to me. What the fans say when a player leaves is a good indicator. These are the guys watching every snap. They see beyond the stats. I know it's easy to dismiss message board stuff, but when it represents a consensus opinion, I think it's sound. I feel good about Rhodes. I feel good about Hangartner too, for the same reasons. I suspect the Eagles feel pretty good about getting Greer too.

I feel the same way. I think there's still a whole lot of shuffling to be done. What the final roster will look like is anybody's guess.

Those are your "facts?"

I admit nothing.

Dear nerds: If you don't want to get hit in the face with a dodgeball, just stay in the back. When a stray ball rolls near you, pick it up. Toss it gently over to the other side so somebody can easily catch it. Now go sit down and wait for the start of the next game. It's not that hard. Christ, I thought you were supposed to be smart or something. You think dodgeball is barbaric? Ha! I'll tell you what's barbaric: Your life, if you don't learn how to protect yourself. Also, please don't go home and cry to your mom. We like playing dodgeball. Thank you, The other kids
