Magox Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Ask Peace to let you in. you would start behind a bit, but it would make it more interesting.

Peace Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think I may do that... Yeah buy in. It was your idea originally. Start with 9500 as a late buy in penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster4324 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Yeah buy in. It was your idea originally. Start with 9500 as a late buy in penalty.

Nanker Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 A real documented person who rose from the dead? The zombie thing is hysterical! youtube.com/watch?v=e1CWBKRWIg0 Incidentally, James, for someone who claims to be a non-believer, you sure do seem to enjoy apologizing for Christianity. If only the Pharaohs have been prescient enough to patient their ideas and inventions - including the lever, inclined plane and euclidian forms. Hoseknee could still be ruling over the minions in Cairo right now and western civilization would be still paying royalty payments up the gazoo for centuries to come.

Which likely predated the Egyptians although the archaeological records of same are even more eroded. So, rhetorically speaking then, was their religion what differentiated the Egyptians and made them a great civilization?

Gene Frenkle Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Ironic, how you will not say the same for the US I'd say that our knowledge of engineering and science is EXACTLY will cause future civilizations to view the modern America as great civilization. There are many parallels. It's certainly not the gods that they worshiped or we worship that make either society great because the gods dejour seem to change so often. Future civilizations will likely look upon our gods and religions as silly and outdated, just as we view the Egyptian gods today. Just as some of us do today.

Bishop Hedd Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Gene, I submit that PPP is still as open a forum for freely discussing all political points of view that it always has been. Perhaps you mean the the non conservative contributors have left, are in hiding or are unable to defense their positions due to the continually widening gap between their beliefs and the political realities of the day, so they remain mute. Maybe they just got tired of their tantrum fits of holding their breath, turning blue and passing out on the floor. Rant rant rant rant Sarah Palin, rant rant rant rant George W Bush, rant rant rant rant Tea Baggers! Admittedly, those didn't add much to the discourse, but the shear level of them have subsided somewhat, I would agree. Perhaps it's because their leader of choice is crapping the bed so spectacularly that they've become temporarily disillusioned. Never fear, they'll all come together behind Barney Frank if and when he announces a run for the Presidency. Rest assured, rest assured. Ah Bullschit! Most have left because this board has become mindbendingly tedious beyond even my expectations. Having been on here for over the last decade under various nom de plumes I haven't seen a list of narrow minded, moronic topics of little interest to most beyond the nuttiest wingnut like I see now. I mean the board has always been conservative..make no mistake about that...but at least the conservatives that were from an earlier era could expound their views in a credible and even entertaining fashion. Now we get loons like Henny Penny LAbills (Guess his bizarre fixation with ACORN bopped him on the head) and potential political assassin Chef "Kill Pelosi" Jim. No wonder the amount of posts has pretty much dried up here. Even a rightwing teabagging circle jerk gets tiresome after awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene I have to disagree with you I don't see any conservatives on this board- a couple guys with their heads up Ayn Rand's vag, some apologists for corporate criminals, and a few racist warmongering neo-con chicken-hawks with delusions of grandeur but conservatives?

It's particularly amusing that you can post something as incredibly stupid and useless as this (you know, devoid of any credible insight or entertainment value), and simultaneously wonder why everyone is gone. I have to admit, though, it's kind of surprising that you're not here yelling and screaming about all those protesters in Wisconsin, painting a Hitler moustache on Gov. Walker's picture and referring to him as Mubarek. That type of activity used to really make you angry. Oh wait. When I protest, it's Henny Penny rightwing teabagging circle jerks.

Magox Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 After Bush left and Palin's short and unsuccessful bid at VP, there really wasn't much for the liberal movement to be excited about, hence the drop of progressive fervor throughout the country. The reality folks is this board is just a microcosmic reflection of that drop in enthusiasm, hence all the racebaiting tactics from the douchebags from the left, when all else fails, call someone a racist or bigot.
