>>...and, and, and Jesus himself spoke of none of this, this is all according to others, others who wanted- no, needed Jesus to be more than a man, for whatever reason.<<

Maybe my post was too long to read through?  Jesus did say "I am who Am" in the synagogue, he did chastise Peter and the demon for acknowledging him as the Messiah too early.

>>Look at it this way; Would Christianity be where it is today if 2000 years ago man was simply asked to accept good advice from a carpenter who thought too much?<<

it wouldn't have lasted 50 years which was the point Nicodemus made in Sanhedrin advocating against repression

and St. Paul made in his Letters: if it was a fraud how long would people take torture to proclaim it?

I think the answer must be Yes.  I am very sad to say so because Kanye West seemed a fresh new talent in hiphop, he has FLOW!  But he is just a troublemaker and I think he likes the drama of being an iconoclast more than his message being heard, even.  That bit he did robbing the mike and making Mike Meyers look like shit during the Katrina Benefit...Kanye, buy a full-page ad or something, that was NOT about YOU, you know, it was about homeless people in the world's biggest open sewer getting dry clothes and food.  And lately he did some gig and it was obvious the man spends too much time looping his stuff through a computer.  That melodious crooning on the CD is not Kayne West.  He's like Snoop Dogg, he experiments so hard he forgot that he's a champ when he just comes from the heart.

I think Kanye West needs to step down for a year.

Maybe he could fmod here, but then Nolio would have to change his name again.

actually I wouldn't, I WANT a policy of hostility towards China.

But since this Administration publicly says China and the US rise or fall together, if he were handed over without being tried in US courts TOO, that would be a lucky break.

>>He clearly could of done alot worse than he did.... And he did not shouldnt ur Goverment be happy he did not start selling secrets or getting ppl acess that wanted to do damage<<

Then he'd squat for life in Supermax, the top federal security prison that is tougher than the punishment block at Gitmo (Gitmo prisoners get to yell).  He landed a moderate charge for what he did.

>>. Instead they scapegoat this guy..<<

He said he did it.  How is a guy who confessed a scapegoat.

>>Yeah i think he should be punished he broke the law and probably knew he was breaking it.. I think its just very harsh the lengths the USA are going too.. Its like they are saying dont [schnitzel] with us or this will happen<<

That's a function of our criminal law.  I bet any Brit who thought about changing all the names in the Social Security database to "Bush Sucks" will back off.  Hey you know what? DON'T PISS ON FEDERAL DATABASES. Giving yourself admin status and implanting a bug to let you come back anytime...Jesus! You hack the [POOFING] United States Army?

>>Its got Bush stamped all over it if u ask me..<<

More like Richard Clarke, the heroic critic of Bush who wrote a memo in April 2001 saying 'watchout for al Qaeda (and spend money on it in 2002, but forget that part! he's a visionary!!!)' who got kicked down to Cyberterror Czar.  This hacking crap is what he warned the 9/11 Commission was our greatest vulnerability. 

>>You really think this guy should get the book thrown at him..<<

No, I said a fine would do.  This is reportedly the largest hack of US govt systems ever, so it has to set a precedent in how we handle it.  And that has to more than a slap on the wrist.  that guy who put 30 weather balloons on a lawn chair and flew at 40,000 feet for 2 hours got a $150,000 fine, and that stopped all wannabes, so I'd settle for that.   If found guilty on all counts he'd be liable for $1.25 million if not prison time.

>> I dont think so and if u do ur as crazy as the ppl that are allowing this to happen<<

hmm he might have a good argument on 5 of the 6.  Saying that repeat offences become a felony if the combined damage is over $5000 may be a stretch of law.  They might be able insist he get charged with 95 misdemeanor counts and 1 felony.

But he's guilty...so....

Look here's how our system views it.  Whats the worst type of criminal?  A crook who knows he's guilty, runs from the law, fights the process every step of the way, drags everything out, insists he isn't sorry and will probably do it again.  That guy oughta have the book thrown at him, right?

So a guy who knows he's guilty, runs from the law, but surrenders and cooperates as far as letting the trial go forward without busting chairs and appealing every ruling, he shouldn't get the book thrown at him, right? The system ought to encourage people not being the worst crook you can be.

And a guy who knows he's guilty, says he's sorry, surrenders to the indictment, gets a lawyer and seeks a plea deal, he deserves some real consideration.

With our crowded prisons and the cost of incarceration, then, who goes home early and who might not get sent in?

Now what is jerko doing? He tells newpapers he did it, but so what, he's fought extradition for 6 years, he made his case a diplomatic issue, he's got the BBC making incorrect reports about American laws, he promises to fight it in American court if he's thrown over here, he's making suicide threats...he's a brown starfish and he's gonna do hard time.  He didn't have to but he worked it that way.

Messed up...well maybe you don't screw with us?  Don't have sex on the beach in Dubai, and don't hack as admin on US servers.

depends on which friends mother

what would you do if the hottest girl you ever met in your life asked you to be her date to the Naruto Marathon?


[not to bust up the thread but what Shadowwolfs asked VV reminds me of "Foxtrot" where the annoying nerdboy Jason gets a Darth Vader helmet stuck on his face until his dad tells him turn it to the left and then pull.
JASON: wow, how'd you know that?
DAD:  I had the same problem in 1982.
JASON: Wait, before I ...you...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DAD: Search your feelings, you know it to be true!]

And you all frickin BITCH about Pirate Day! DAM--erp its Lent. Peace be with you

1 other thing this guy seems hellbent on getting away with stuff he's admitted doing.  If he'd tried to get a plea deal in 2003 I can't imagine him getting more than a fine, or possibly a token 1 year for every count--which would be up by now.  Instead he has fought every step of the way.  I bet he could get over here and still fight it out in trial.  That would take another two years.  WTF does he think you can do that and not get hit with anything?  or that the initiative for a plea is with the federal government?  He had powerful leverage in 2003--promising not to spend 6 years fighting extradition.  He pissed it away for nothing.

This cretin hacked NINTETY-SIX computers in FOURTEEN STATES and the District of Columbia, installing his own remote-control software for PERMANENT access, giving himself admin status, and DELETING DATA FILES.

>>It stands. If you create something, it is obvious, and you leave a part of you in it. Think about humans Rice. Humans are created in God's image, therefore, because we are made in God's image, we are separate from the rest of creation  (more to come on this have to go)<<

No because you then hold it proved God is limited and defined by His creation.  If I build a clay piggy, and it can't dance, or falls over and hurts people, you can't demonstrate -I- can't dance or -I- condone evil, as proved through my creation.

>>Regarding Jesus: Which part of his "We are all children of God?" speech makes people think he was declaring himself to be the literal son of God?<<

what speech is that? I'm more familiar with the angel proclaiming it to the Virgin Mary, and Elizabeth knowing it when she met the pregnant Mary, and a dove coming out of the sky and saying "Behold My Son, in Whom I am well pleased" and the miracles, and saying "I am, who am" in the synagogue, and asking Peter who he is and Peter saying "You are the Messiah" and he told Peter to save it, and being on the mountain with Moses and Elijah, and the devil in possession of the beggar saying he was the Son of God and then getting thrown into a herd of swine, and even the pagan Roman saying after seeing the whole Crucifixion saying "Truly this man was the son of God", and then the bit where He came back from the dead, and Ascended, and Simon seeing him at the right hand of God as he was stoned, and, and, and...

its pretty easy to prove all blacks are dumb if you insist people in Africa who did smart stuff weren't really black

while the british colonies in North America got enough slaves to do without imports in the early 19th century South America still risked the Royal Navy and brought slaves from Africa.  This included many literate Muslim judges and bureaucrats who got on the losing side of a civil war in Mali. Bahia had a pronounced Muslim uprising in 1835. 

'domesticated horses' uhhhhh sure.  you have to train EVERY horse to accept a human and there were probably more "mustangs" running in north america than anywhere else, excluding equine variants like the zebra.  The wild horse in America has only been eradicated over the last century because unvaccinated horses preserve fatal disease threatening to domestic stock.  They were shooting wild horses on the Channel Islands of California in the 1990s.

i disagree with the curve they're grading on.

in the USA for instance you have rising anger between immigrants and citizens, general distrust/ignorance/apathy towards the institutions of government, and a sharp ideological divide on just about every issue about as bad as during the Vietnam era.

When we say civil war we mean in the broader American sense. Maybe you would call it invasion by noncitizen Muslim extremists. The ones burning 6000 cars a month in France and wrecking synagogues all through Europe.
