Re: Pastor sentenced to 7 years for molestation - ExChristian.Net - News and Opinion

Yeah I can see Bro. Paul sitting in his church nodding his head up and down in agreement with his pastor, when the pastor says, "It's just like Sodom and Gomorrah today, come up and get saved today."

While Paul's pastor is thinking about how he was sucking a little boys wee wee that very morning.

Way to go Paul, you've showed us how your pastors and your religion works.

Samantha,

No worries. You can believe whatever you want as long as your beliefs don't harm me or others. I have neither the desire nor the knowledge to tell you what to believe.

I would note, however, that at the point in my piece where I state that the reader believes in life after death, I had not yet "redefined" the term. So it was true and remains true, as far as I know, that you, Samantha, believe in life after death.

Since "'Life after death' has definite connotations if not one definite meaning," you might want to enlighten me.

pekingjohn and one-eyed jack,

I am sorry that you got hung up (a little) on the word "reincarnated". I was using the traditional idea of reincarnation metaphorically, not literally.

sconnor,

I went to your near death site and didn't find anything explaining "how people perceive after death." I guess I missed it.

Re: 5 Mistakes MyFootballClub Made On Day One

kent — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 17:10:00 -0000

From doing a little reading on the MyFootballClub forums, it seems that people think the leak came from the fact that Ebbsfield United's supporters trust was informed on Sunday. If that is the case then there is little MyFC could do. Hopefully the rest of the process will go smooth and we will soon be selecting the team, making a few transfers and hopefully getting promoted.

Re: Premier League Plans to Play Matches Overseas–My Thoughts

kent — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:00:22 -0000

As a Premier League fan in the states, I would love to see some of these teams play without having to go overseas, but I think the main issue with the proposal is the extra game. Does this mean that some teams would play each other three times a year instead of two? So one team gets a relegation bound team three times and another gets one of the big clubs three times a year. This would have huge a effect on the all the teams.

People change their minds. It is perfectly acceptable to me that someone might come to a different conclusion about a subject when presented with clear, compelling evidence. To his credit, Romney was open to such information. He should be applauded.

But instead we are treated to near gavel-to-gavel coverage of an alleged flip-flop.

The press didn't care that both Clinton and Gore were once pro-life. They view that flip flop as an enlightened decision.

Re: random thoughts on the democratic debate

kent — Mon, 14 May 2007 15:43:15 -0000

Kucinich's comments are instructive because we see the level of denial one must employ to be a Democrat.

I thought we were 'hated around the world'? How can we now depend on countries that opposed military action in Iraq in the first place to rebuild and create a democratic, peaceful, secure Iraq in our absence?

Depending on the International Community to oversee 'a peace keeping' mission in Iraq is something out of a yet-to-be-written fairy tale.

Another fairy tale is that there will be no consequences to the United States if we do the bidding of the Dems and pull out of Iraq. That somehow, the terrorists will be content with winning and that will be the end of their global jihad.

In their dreams, the Democrats suppose that 'supporting the troops' means cutting off their funding, which means our soldiers have fewer weapons, less ammo, vehicles in various forms of disrepair. The legislative machinations of the Dems will get more Americans killed in Iraq, not less.

The inability to see the big picture is what will always tilt electoral advantage to the Republicans.

Re: rethinking the role of the “religious right”

kent — Mon, 14 May 2007 15:52:19 -0000

Let's remember that our ancestors came to America, in part, for religious freedom.

Yet today, the 'tolerant Left' insults and decries the very existence of American Christianity, the very principles that guided the founding of the nation back in the day.

That being said, Christian Conservatives do the country a grave disservice by electing to be single issue voters. The abortion litmus test is dangerous because low Christian voting turnout will elect a Democrat by default.

It frustrates me to no end that Christians lack the understanding of our political process to grasp the principle of the lesser of two evils.

Re: newt takes on the establishment again

kent — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 03:26:24 -0000

We were talking about this the other day. A presidential aspirant must find some way to differentiate himself from the guy of similar political persuasion, who's currently in power. Like what Sarkozy just did to Chirac in France.

You know that I love and admire Newt. He's a brilliant thinker. But he's wrong here, as he is about global warming.

George W. Bush is the Republican version of Jimmy Carter is so absurd I can't believe a person of Gingrich's intellect would entertain such an idea, much less publicly utter such nonsense.

The Bush economy is strong, Carter's was terrible. The Bush foreign policy is aggressive, Carter's was hapless. Bush is a two termer, Carter was laughed out of office after one. There simply is no comparison between the two men.

Gingrich's comment only feeds into the wild misconceptions about Bush. The country has been dumbed down enough already by an agenda driven press corps and a wildly irresponsible opposition party. I would expect one of America's best and brightest to be contributing to the propaganda.

It seems to me that Newt is talking out of his ass these days to win over some new friends and to silence some old enemies.

Re: newt takes on the establishment again

It is hard to imagine a person engaged in the political debate in 2007 who can't manage to spell 'Condi' correctly. Nice job, Walker!

Nobody thinks Newt is a shining example of ethics. But, let's be clear, Gingrich violated no ethics with his book deal. And if you think I'm kidding take the Hillary Clinton book deal example as evidence. She did the same thing that Gingrich did, except she didn't give the advance back and she didn't apologize.

Another beautiful double standard for the Left to ignore.

Mark, thanks for proving my point for me that Liberals are stupid.

Re: sparring democrats in new hampshire

kent — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 04:25:04 -0000

1. There is no getting away from the fact that many of the Dems on the stage sunday night voted to give President Bush the authority to invade Iraq. No monday morning quarterbacking, no second guessing, no whining, no do-overs.

2. Agreed. Clinton and Obama were right to credit Bush for 'making us safer' and for 'doing some things right.'

3. Edwards is the same guy he was in '04: a phony, a lightweight and an opportunist.

4. As I posted on RFL and as we discussed, I think Hillary would fight the war on terror aggressively because she wants to be a two termer.

5. Not sure I would classify Biden as 'a quality candidate.' His juvenile rhetoric from time to time guarantees that he will always be a second tier candidate. But he does deserve big credit for recognizing (and verbalizing) the importance of funding the war in terms of American military lives.

6. I love Dennis. He should do stand up comedy. I'd pay to see his act.

7. Richardson looks as if he's been eating too many tacos and drinking too much tequilla. Not ready for prime time. I'm embarrassed such a fat slob represented the United States at the United Nations. If he dropped 100 lbs. he might be considered for the VP slot.

8. I, too, am puzzled by the fascination/obsession with the 42nd President. I think the media (particularly CNN) devotes far too much time presenting Clinton as a rock star and not nearly enough time reporting on his very unaccomplished (and reckless) time in office.

A decent journalist would have asked the following question of the Democrats on Sunday night: Why do you think it was necessary for former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger to relinquish his law license to the DC Bar on May 17?

Eventually history will afford him Reagan-like stature, because in time Iraq will become peaceful and prosperous. He'll finally get credit for the booming economy one day, too.

Of course, it was still great.

This Live Earth thing was hysterical. I saw Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, Dave Matthews, the Chili Peppers, and a few others.

I enjoyed the music.

And I enjoyed watching Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cameron Diaz make complete asses of themselves. RFK, especially. What an angry hypocrite. Cameron's at least nice on the eyes, even though she is dumb as a pebble.

What I didn't enjoy were the vignette videos featuring small children waxing philosophically about climate change.

Chris regularly gets his head handed to him on RFL. Just kiddin' Buddy.

I think the question that should be asked is why do the Democrats talk down the economy every two and four years?

Why should we believe them on the economy anyway? They've been telling us things have been bad since '03, contrary to reality. They've fought the tax cuts, which means they have a fundamental misunderstanding of simple economic principles.

Trusting Democrats on the economy is as foolhearty as trusting them on national security. They are demagogues, hypocrites of the first order. They are sloganeers, nothing more.

And for all the hand wringing over out-of-control spending, electing a President Clinton or a President Obama assures that spending will be bumped up another 1000%, with all the health care crap and all the bleeding heart Liberal social programs.

Re: questionable alliances

kent — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 02:15:47 -0000

Wow, Lisa. Get some comments on your blog, baby.

I don't think BO did himself any favors today. I'm sure it looked great on paper, and he delivered it with typical aplomb. But he ain't offering change anymore. In fact, he's kinda hopeless at the moment and we've learned that he has extraordinarily bad judgment in picking churches and friends.

Time to play the race card. And I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to hear about how racist America is (and by extension, Republicans) from now until November. Won't that be fun? Won't that bring the country together?

Here's my problem: I've never attended a church where I didn't agree with the pastor. And I wouldn't attend a church where I didn't share the same theology. Call me crazy, but I think going to a church makes absolutely no sense whatsoever if you disagree with what's being said from the pulpit. I mean, what's the point in that? If you're there for the right reasons, it makes no sense.

BO clearly is close to Wright. But that closeness makes me believe that he might also share Wright's views and his statements today and last week don't change that opinion. It certainly appears that Michelle Obama shares at least some of Wright's views of America. It certainly wasn't mere coincidence that she said what she said about 'not being proud of America' a few weeks ago. And "The Audacity of Hope," comes straight from one of Wright's 'sermons.'

I've attended a black church in LA several times with my buddy Harlan and I can tell you that the services are long and exhaustive and emotional and moving and high powered. But they have never been profane. The pastor -- Brother Michael -- wouldn't dream of saying 'God Damn America.' He loves America and he loves God. He also knows Jesus wasn't black. Jesus was a Jew. He was white. What kind of idiot says Jesus was black? What kind of idiot would believe it? I've seen the clips on cable the past week, and apparently, a group of people, at Barack Obama's church, do.

Liberals blow a freaking gasket whenever a GOP candidate gives a speech @ Bob Jones University. They cry 'church-and-state, church-and-state' whenever President Bush speaks of his faith, but they don't give two craps that the likely 'Democratic' (unless you live in Florida or Michigan) nominee for President might be just as nutty as a Mormon. Or, as much of an opportunist as Mitt Romney, take your pick.

Now, depending on your perspective, you might really admire BO for not throwing Wright under the bus, as they say. But I wonder... why did he throw his dead white grandmother under the bus? BO can't remember what services he attended and what services he didn't attend the past 20 years at Trinity United, but he remembers with great clarity being offended by racial things his grandmother said when he was a boy?

And this guy wants to be the President of the United States?

The genius of McCain's move is that (1) he's called attention to the ad, which has resulted in a huge financial windfall to the NC GOP and (2) he continues to win approval from moderates and independents, which will be key in winning the general election in November.

benny2run is really an employee of Deaths Door. Look at his profile- he works in urban planning. What a coincidence! this is what the company that own's deaths door does too! Also, the wheat is not organic and he should know saying so is illegal advertising.

I am not sure why this Spiral Jetty was allowed to be built. Art or not, it is a disruption of the natural coastline and should be removed.

I have a better idea. Lets nationalize websites. No?

When the Nazis came for the communists,

I remained silent;

I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,

I remained silent;

I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,

I did not speak out;

I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,

I remained silent;

I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,

there was no one left to speak out.

Guys, I've been to a number of big cities in the world, Malaysia is nothing like them, but She rocks in her way as well. At least she is better and sexier than the city I'm staying in India now.

One thing I hate about Malaysia is the fact that some politicians in malaysia hold no responsibilities to the things they said. And they disgrace our nation by using rubbish terms during parliament meeting. Gosh.. it got me so mad though I read the news thousand miles away and days later.

Another thing to factor in is the dependence on MOM to obtain the DRS functionality. In talking with MS Virtual Server folks at TechEd '06, they claimed they had the same functionality "for some time" as DRS. The fact they omitted was this required MOM and MOM agents on each VM to implement and wasn't nearly as in tune to what was happening on the host vs. what the client was seeng.

I agree with you. I think the point is not that server consolidation is proven less effective than originally implemented as evidenced by the lower ratio. It is rather more successfully implemented -- consolidating servers that were previously deemed as needing their own hardware to run. You can only consolidate so many existing, fully utilized quad processor boxes or DB servers requiring 4 or 8 GB before you outstrip even the most powerful of host machines. Consolidating those machines were not even possible before the latest generation of virtualization software was released.

One other aspect not mentioned is perhaps companies are building out rather than up the virtualization environments. Are companies more likely to deploy quad processor (or cores) hosts rather than higher end 8/16/32 core hosts. Those numbers will obviously affect ratios as well.

This is very good information. You might also note there is an Ubutu free browser-configured available from VMware. I haven't yet downloaded it yet myself though, but being able to play a custom Bart's PE ISO would help lock down my kids' machines.
