@twoside
at least one month till the new rate comes out.

I'm not a rating bureau or politician, but I see what I can do.

Ok we start at sunday. I promise to counter any move Georg Soros makes.

Any suggestions anyone for a source? It should not be neutral, just unpredictable

lol

For now, you can only say "i'm in". No bets can be placed till we start the game.

lol

The way he does it is not like it should be, I admit that. But if bush or Obama were to fine every guy who insulted them and collect that fine they wouldn't have needed any other funds for campaigning.

Although his comments where more then teasing, I think its stupid and shameful act to give this guy a fine for explaining his opinion, be it with strong metaphors. I share his opinion 100%.

Also I think if you have that amount of power a (so called) president has, you should be able to live with this.

@apollo:
I think it was about religion growing instead of declining. Me and yell voiced our opinions why it would be a good or bad thing.

@PA:
I admit we go off topic here but your sig never had been more appropriate* I think its smarter to vote a third party or not at all in this case. Hell, I would choose a horse as president over any of those 2. Whether that horse is properly educated or not.

*edit: not directed at your own person, no insult intended. After reading my own post again, I see how it could easily be misinterpreted, lol.

lol

"my stated statistic which fascinates me relates directly to the OP"
You replied it in a discussion directed at me by mistake forgetting to say "back on topic"? Fair enough.

Glossary of literary terms by Abrams and Hartman,

"Verbal irony is a statement in which the meaning that a speaker employs is sharply different from the meaning that is ostensibly expressed. The ironic statement usually involves the explicit expression of one attitude or evaluation, but with indications in the overall speech-situation that the speaker intends a very different, and often opposite, attitude or evaluation"

"No sharia for me."
Meaning:
Atheist don't need to give a law to much value. Religious people do.

explanation of the joke
The verbal irony lies in the fact that we do not believe in God by default. Let go we would worship any laws he is supposed to make. I make fun of it by stating firmly, "but no, I do not believe in sharia" while that is quit obvious, and quit obviously not the question asked. You know the word irony came from ancient Greek for feigned ignorance? It also implies religious people do make those laws they value to much in the same sentence. A joke and an opinion.

"That was not the sort of "sacred" which The Yell was referring to."
I said as much a few threads back. Look it up.

Whether its a joke or not is always an opinion if its misunderstood or one deems it not funny. But that was its intention.

Why would it matter you spend 100 posts about it? It has nothing to do with the debate, its just playing it personal. That is silly in an online anonymous forum. Let us assume it is true what you say (but its not ) it wouldn't matter anything or explain why you bring up meaningless stats you only care to give an explanation about afterwards. Also I explained the meaning afterwards from which point on you should have moved on.

I'm done talking about the joke. I only reply to ontopic things from this point on.

@yell
Blasphemer!
