This reminds me of the "Left Behind" series of books. Typical fundamentalist zealot, frustrated and perplexed over why his fornicating neighbors haven't yet been tortured to death by God while the fundamentalist looks on with a grin, creates the scenario he is obsessed with in his own head. It's Christian sado-massochistic porn. This jackass would probably get a hard-on watching "The Passion of The Christ".

Where was Noah's flood ?
by a Christian inone of the things that has long been debated is the location of noah's flood.
the most popular, and most common claim, is that the flood was in mesopotamia, or present day iraq.
but, as has been pointed out on this forum before by alan f and others, the major problem with this theory is that the entire area drains into the persian gulf.

Hamlet rode a dinosaur.
I'm intrigued by this theory. You have persuaded me. This could very well be what Shakespeare was describing with "symbolic language" when he talked about "sound and fury". I think we need to have a serious debate about exactly where and how Hamlet rode this dinosaur. Anyone that tries to point out that this theory is "ludicrous", "imposssible", "easily disprovable", or "bat-shit crazy" should be called intolerant and dismissed for their lack of faith.

I agree totally with the consensus. It sounds like they are trying to make their marriage work for the children. He may very well even be pretending to believe for the children. Don't mess with that. Don't make life harder on those kids than it has to be. Just move on and stop screwing married men.

I don't see any apartment buildings here with 4 dishes per apartment hanging on the roofs.
My understanding of the law (and I'm not a lawyer, I would recommend consulting one) is that the renters must be allowed to install a satellite dish on an area they have exclusive rights to, such as a balcony, patio, or outside their window. They do not have to be allowed to install a dish or antenna on a common area, such as a roof.

"I own some apartments and I won't let them put dishes on my buildings. Last time they called me, they threatened me with legal action. Dish Network is worse." Gary, the law is on their side, specifically section 207 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and especially the 1998 amendment dealing with renters. If they make good on their threat to take you to court, you should probably give in before wasting your money fighting them. Sorry.

I realize there is a prevailing thought, and maybe it's even true, that watching any amount of television is a waste of time. I happen to disagree. I feel like watching television can be a waste of time, or it can be a very enjoyable form of rest and relaxation. Watching bad television is a waste of time. I have the utmost respect for people that decide to cut television out of their lives completely. I actually did this myself for about two years. But if you're going to watch television anyway, you might as well have the best experience you can while you're doing it. Have a nice collection of movies, get a DVR so you aren't at the mercy of whatever happens to be on at the time and you don't have to sit through commercials, and have a nice TV with a decent home theater setup. It definitely is a quality of life issue.

Galileo, if you think buying a hdtv improves your quality of life, you need some priority adjustment and reevaluation.
Ha! I love my movies, and I won't apologize for it. In the last few years, I've built a media room, put in outdoor speakers, a pool, built a large outdoor patio with a nice barbecue grill, and learned to be a very good cook. Every one of these things has improved my quality of life. My house is the "party house" among my circle of friends. Every weekend it is packed with my friends, swimming, barbecuing, and/or watching movies. I absolutely love it.

Didn't you hear that those things cause global warming?
I hadn't heard that at all, so I read the article. That article said basically that we don't know what impact manufacturing HDTVs have, that it hasn't been measured. It really sounds like one scientist trying to make a name for himself. If it is ever shown that it has a serious impact, I'll re-evaluate my position.
There's no sense in running out and buying a $1500 tv when you have a perfectly good one that needs a converter box. People are so wasteful.
I suppose you would have said the same thing in the 60's when people were replacing their black and white TV's with color. The difference is almost that great. I don't think improving your quality of life is wasteful. Also, the last HDTV I bought (a 42" Panasonic from Costco) cost $950, not $1500, and it's a very highly rated name brand television, not some generic knock off.
I've got two pretty new Sony flat screens, a 36" and a 32", and a couple older ones that work good. I'm inclined not to watch very much TV. I never watch drama and I multitask with what TV I do watch.
Any TV you bought in the last few years shouldn't need a converter box. I'm almost certain your Sony's won't need them. A TV doesn't have to be HD to not need a converter box, it just has to be able to receive a digital signal. Also, satellite TV is digital by default, so any TV you have hooked up to a satellite converter box is already set. You don't need to change anything or invest in new equipment. It is already receiving a digital signal; nothing will change when the digital transition occurs.
