That it's important to share different ideas, even if they would be unhealthy for society in execution.

What's WRONG with this Ten Plague description?
by Terry inmoses brought 10 plagues upon egypt to change pharoah's mind about letting jehovah's people go.. the 5th plague is to destroy only the egyptian livestock:.
6 and the next day the lord did it: all the livestock of the egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the israelites died.. .
a few days later the 7th plague is described:.

People could say that the seventh plague dealt with non-Egyptians. So God did one plague to kill the Egyptian livestock, then another one to clean up the livestock of others who were around? I don't know... doesn't make much sense.

What is the reasoning of Israelites being allowed to have concubines?
by EmptyInside inwere they all foreign women?
it seems to be contradictory too, because they weren't to have marriage alliances with other nations.
but, i guess using the woman as a sex slave and baby making machine was okay.

If ISraelites weren't allowed to have concubines, the Jewish God would have less reason to be so duplicitous! We can't have that!

So as a gift, my boss is giving me my office computer when I leave for another job (yes, he is awesome). It's a Dell, Pentium D with two processors running at 2.9Ghz each (from what I can tell) and 2 gigs of ram. Not sure what kind of ram it is. Hard drive is 320 GB.
How out of date is it? I might do a little gaming (once Starcraft 2 comes out), but mostly its for general office and internet use, ArcGIS, some Photoshop/Coreldraw, and having a ton of word documents open at one time on two monitors.

Daniel obviously you acknowledge my point but you can not disagree politely or with intelligence so you must call someone who is himself a minority a bigot... You have no idea who you are talking to sir.
I am a minority and I am sorry if I don't fit into your box my living in the ghetto and having kids I can't support.
I'm not the one complaining about the so-called "poverty stricken breeders," guy, that was YOU. You're the one that uses thinly-veiled bigoted language referring to people who qualify for welfare or what have you.
The federal government has been taking from the rich and giving to the poor for a loooooonng time, and it ain't gonna change, no matter who is in the oval office. Nearly every country in the world does this to some degree, because public policy which does not re-distribute at least a little leads to plutocracies. Taxes need to be progressive, not regressive, in order to have sustainable democratic societies. You may not like living with the feeling people are taking money right out of your pocket [OH NOES!], but it's better policy. Besides, my point is that that feeling you have--that "poverty stricken breeders" are taking money out of your pocket or whatever--is overblown, exaggerated, and delusional. Stop being so self-centered and be thankful for what you have in this world. Everyone is a car accident, illness, or tragic event away from being piss-poor.
Oh, thanks for the tip on community college. I actually have a masters in public policy though, so I'll pass on that.
Now get your ass out there and start protesting! Or are you all talk and no walk? The Tea Partiers need that vacuous vitriol!!!

So what it really comes down to, cagefighter, is your paranoia about these "poverty stricken breeders" that are apparently taking money right out of your pocket. Oh Noes!!!
You, sir, are delusional. Sure, any society will have free-loaders, but that is a fact of all societies, all communities, and all civilizations throughout time, and nothing you do will change it. So instead of blubbering emphatic about "those people," why not try to develop some empathy for those who are honestly struggling to make ends meet?
Of course, you really could just be referring to inner city blacks. In that case, you're a racist bigot and the Tea Party needs you to join their bigoted, ignorant, self-serving, un-Christian ranks.
