  1. From NFL.com on Texans game against cardinals "Ryan Fitzpatrick was the epitome of terrible. He made awful reads, pitiful decisions and pathetic passes. He played an entire half and ended his night 6-of-14 passing for 55 yards and two interceptions. (It looked worse than even that stat line makes it appear.)" Yeah, I really want me some of that !
  2. What's being discussed here is whether its constitutional for the state to be promoting a particular religion. And a federal judge ruled no. But to your historical claim, I think you need to reconsider the degree of influence 10 commandments have on US laws. Only 2 or 3 out 10 (murder and theft yes, false witness depending on interpretation) are actually observed. A 20%-30% overlap hardly shows much influence, and considering murder and theft are common to all laws (and common sense) may show no influence at all You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make idols. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet.
  3. A secular state is a concept of secularism, whereby a state or country purports to be officially neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion. Secular states become secular either upon creation of the state (e.g. United States of America or India) or upon secularization of the state (e.g. France or Nepal). http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_state
  4. You can probably count me in on that. Be very interested in a straight up trade
  5. Looks to protect himself well with the slides and going OB. The one hit he took in the pocket seemed like a late hit to me (at least by Brady rules)
  6. Quoting and disputing my own post. After he settled down a little looked pretty good .... Ran an uptempo offense, made good decisions, made different throws, made the lions defend more of the field than hoyer . Don't see why they'd go bother sticking with hoyer.
  7. WR looked in to me on rollout left
  8. As much as hoyer isn't the answer, JF does not look anywhere near ready
  9. God sentenced violators to being a diehard bills fan?
  10. I get it, you see religion in everything, no matter the lack of evidence or debatability. But no matter the degree of influence any document that starts with "thou shall kiss my ass, and no other gods ass" has no place on government property of secular america
  11. What's the sentence in America for violating any of the first four commandments? 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
  12. Solon was a statesman, Confuciounism is a philosophy not a religion (no deity's involved). Moses should get the hell out of there, just another example of trying to stick religious figures on government spaces to establish precedent, just like 10 commandments at city Hall
  13. Diamond Head had a lot of great material. Certainly would be at or near top of my list of bands that never got their due or lived up to their potential. I'd read that when other thrash metal acts were getting signed by major labels, they were self managed by the Singer's mom .... Could have something to do with it?
  14. Well its certainly not "Miss Pretty Face" Brazil
  15. Then why called "Commandments"? Laws are man made, discussed, debated and voted on. With procedures to determine guilt or innonence, and attachment of penalties. And in a secular country have nothing to do with god.
  16. If you want to say they inspired something else, you can and that's debatable. What's not debabatle in a secular country is the inappropriateness of greeting visitors to government property with "god's" rules, especially when 40% of them relate to man's worship of "god".
  17. Curious, is this a punishment people would support in America? (I believe it's performed with a sword) Riyadh, Aug 8 (IANS) A man in Saudi Arabia has been beheaded on the court's orders for sexually assaulting and murdering two Asian housemaids in a sea port, a media report said here Friday. https://news.yahoo.com/man-killed-maids-beheaded-saudi-arabia-102218812.html
  18. I wondered why he didn't get more separation and make a play on the ball. Maybe he pulled a muscle on that play
  19. Never know, I wondered if he did it to get the coaches attention and help make the team. As in "the guy plays with intensity and he's physical, we can teach him to keep it within the rules, but you can't teach that kind of intensity we look for in a player"
  20. I could (and truthfully have) said the same thing about Stevie. But being honest, lack of talent is no longer an issue on offense. Whats most important now is making the pieces fit together
  21. truth is he doesn't fit within the scheme, and his ability to run between tackles and overall durability are highly suspect. Still what would we get for an RB with these known question marks, with a year left before he becomes a FA, in a league where RBs are devalued? After the Trent Richardson debacle, I say odds of a #1 are very low. Best case a #2 from a good team, but more likely a 3rd. If it's a 3rd for a back of his caliber (even given question marks), might as well just keep him, and see what he can do in a contract year.
  22. The next country we'll have to "Re-Liberate"
  23. Lol not even close. Code of Hammurabi truly was a legal code covering nearly 300 specific offenses, including the resultant punishment for each, with a presumption of innocence. It was drafted by man. Unlike 10 commandant's, the word of God, 4 of which relate to man's relationship to God, and none of them describing a legal process or punishment.
  24. instead of getting your panties in a bunch over faux news, why don't you respond to the body of my post which is that we couldn't afford the nation-building option espoused by the neocons? also try putting it in your own words rather than a lengthy cut and paste crap article. cant solely be that as Obama's policy contributed to the devastation of historic christian towns and peoples in Syria
