why do theist need to tell they are theist and their theism in the internet or in real life 24/7 a week?? If you have religion you have religion. Jet some theist even meet somewhere to discuss how they can push theism and how superior they are to the others.

lol. The problem with theists (in general, I am making a stereotype here), is that they are amazed when atheists are proud of being atheists. They are under the false impression that we are miserable without God and that we wish we could beleive in religion. This is obviously not the case. TC is advocating a double standard- people always are proud of their religion, so why can atheists not be proud of the lack therof? If atheists were to launch an ad campaign akin to the whole "I'm ____ and I'm a mormon" there would be an uproar.

Afghanistan has done a good job not letting the US win so them.kuraimen

Afghanistan is our ally...

You're thinking of the Taliban, which is not "Afghanistan", it is a military force within Afghanistan trying to topple the Afghani government. But yes, the Taliban are a fit match.

Russia cannot, they can't do ****

China has a pretty good army, but its navy is crap. The only way China could "win" against the US is if the US actually invaded China. In that case, my money is on China.

Overall, European countries really aren't what they used to be. Asia is the rising star on the international stage. India and Pakistan, for example, don't have too shabby militaries, but they still can't take on a power like the US.

In conclusion, no country can beat the US in conventional warfare, but since the modern age is an age of assymetric war, this is inconsequential. The US cannot effectively assert its power beyond its own shores- as we have seen In Vietnam and Afghanistan.

He's trying to sound cool. Honestly, you're posting on an off topic forum on a gaming site, you don't need to use stupid slang.

That's a dumb reason to only buy new games.

Really, she should just get over it and continue buying used games. It's not like she's going to find a penis drawing in every used game case. That was probably just a one time thing.

Notto mention it's not even that big of a deal in the first place... seriously, it's a human body part, who the hell cares. If anything this mom spazzing out about it will just leave a bigger impression on her kids' minds.

There's a disturbing lack of real engineering knowledge in this thread. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since most archeologists and historians who write the history don't have a very solid grasp of these things themselves. A real lack of appreciation for what it takes to machine granite and diorite blocks weighing hundreds of tons in some cases to such tolerances that you can't shine a light between the blocks or slide a piece of paper between them at least several thousand years after they were set in place. Oh, by the way.. no mortar was used. Oh, and there were no roads to transport the rock on either.

By the way, you're going to be working with some tools that look like modern garden implements and can't even scratch the surface of some of these stones. Get to work.

Take those tools and go try to quarry and finish some granite and diorite. Oh by the way.. You can't be off by more than a couple of microns when you're finishing the inside of the king's chamber. Let me know when you're done with that. Yeah, yeah.. I know these tools will barely scratch the rock. There are thousands of slaves, I'm sure it will be no issue. Go get that done for me. :roll:

All the while, Indian vedic texts are being written that talk about Gods flying in Vimanas and dropping weapons that cause a flash brighter than a thousand suns. The explosions cause people and elephants to catch on fire and jump in the rivers, and have the unfortunate effect of making the hair and fingernails of survivors fall out after the fact.. not to mention vomiting and premature death. Nevermind that we can go to Mohenjo Daro today and find highly elevated radiation readings and people's bones in the streets that have been preserved by radiation.

I mean guys.. Really? This doesn't mean something to you? Even when there is archeological evidence to support high technology in the ancient world, people won't accept it. It's too far out of their world view and shakes things up too much. Might have to edit some history books and accept some things we don't want to.. better just leave that part out. Disgusting.

hartsickdiscipl

Ok, all you are trying to do is refute the evidence that ancients had the technology to build these structures, but yet are providing no evidence that should make us believe that aliens did it instead. Of the two options, I find the aliens theory highly unlikely, and thus I accept the humans building "theory". C'mon, you don't even really need evidence to debate this point- you only need logic.

I didnt find Virginia all that great, same with Georgia. But every state has some lame parts. Take Florida for example, central florida and south florida are good places to be but any where else is really lame. North Florida isn't much better than those midwestern states.

wis3boi

Main cities suck. You wanna get out in the country. Granted, the plains and the desert (which make up like half of the country) suck pretty bad, but I'd rather be there than in like Los Angeles or something.

Idaho, the Dakotas, Missouri (only thing it has is Huckleberry Finn), and I'm tempted to say Delaware but there's probably something there that I'm forgetting.

And to the guy that said California... no, just no. The mojave and Los Angelessucks *** but northern California is sweet. Overcrowed? yeah, it is the most populated state but it is also the third largest so it's not a dense as the states on the east coast. It's pretty easy to find nice parts of california untouched by cities. Notto mention they have the Sierra Nevada four hours from San Francisco. Instant win.

Destroy every McDonalds and Starbucks.
