TVs that distort 4:3 so it fits into 16:9. And the people who actually like the way that looks.

About that. A small local TV station here has been having the damnedest time with the HD switch. We have a 4:3 tv and for the longest time the picture was squished from 16:9 to fit into a 4:3. Now they fixed it so it isnt squished, but now we have black borders on the sides of a 4:3 screen. : |
 
One more for - Religion.

Edit: actually inking about it, I have no problem with personal religion it's Organised Religion I don't think we need.

I think it's probably because it more easily lets people take advantage of others sexually. I really hope that pot gets legalized in California this year, but it probably won't go through the first time 'round.

atheist. with all the shit's wrong wit hteh world, i wonder how people can go and not believe in a greater intelligence

I find it strange that there can be something referred to as a "greater intelligence" when everything is so wrong in this world. Doesn't seem rather intelligent to me to put a bunch of irate monkeys together on a planet, watch them kill each other and rape their home all in some sick voyeuristic game, then tell them if they dont play along, they wont be allowed their reward.

My answer? Girl-Age threads. Seriously? Are they that hard to figure out?

My other answer? Toilet paper. I want my 3 seashells damnit!

Oh yea, that's a good point. What was that story about that god people made up to describe people getting preggers after city-wide drunkfests? :lol

chose?

we didn't let the government strip us of our right to have alcohol because we enjoy it. they tried and it didn't work. i really hate that people feel like they can look at society as a whole and decide what's best for it without any regard to individual freedom.

I don't know the story, but it's probably about Dionysus. Basically the drunken-fat-fratboy of the roman gods. :lol

I don't think alcohol needs to be made illegal again, just give people some legal alternatives (weed, MDMA, etc.)

O_o I don't think you understand where I'm coming from. I simply think it's unfortunate that society's accepted intoxicant happens to be such a destructive one.

how does this prove that there is no God? People die everyday. Just as people are born everyday.
Click to expand...
It doesn't. It proves god is a malicious, twisted, bitter psychopath.

Or that news stories don't offer great proof for or against a god. I'm not sure which is the moral.

And sometime they fall out of airplanes too, but that also does nothing to indicate there is a God. You're free to believe whatever you want, please just stop arguing about it in this thread. We already have WAY too many religious debate threads.
 
I told myself not to go into this thread. :lol

Anyway, my two cents: I believe in a God but I don't see why people always feel like he does/should intervene. I mean, sure, there's a lot of shit in this world, but there's also a lot of good things, like puppies. And kittens, (
can't forget about those kittens
). And ROLLER COASTERS! YEEAAAHHHH!!!
 
I don't understand how some of you people live. So much fucking negativity. Life and the world are beautiful things. Bad things happen but that doesn't change that fact.

Besides the obvious answers this is the only one that really made me say "YES!" There is nothing more annoying than someone who thinks the world of himself and looks down on others.

It just shows that he's prone to swinging wildly from one emotional extreme to the other. Or it doesn't indicate anything at all except that sometimes good things happen and sometimes bad things happen, without any special reason behind it.

another answer to the OP: multiple console formats. Hurry up and bring on the OCF. Imagine if NBC was time exclusive to Sony TV's, or Warner movies were exclusive to Toshibia DVD players...oh wait, the latter happened, AND EVERYONE HATED IT.

How backwards can people be for hating a person for their bloody skin color?

That was the first thing that come to mind.

Homophobia as well . . . and that would bring in fundamentalist religion.

Young Earth creationism . . . seriously people, grow up.

Not sure how it proves any of that. The second sentence applies whether God exists or not unless people actually believe it's the job of a [insert deity of choice] to literally hand hold us through life and beyond.

keep in mind this all started as a response to someone else saying that a skydiver being saved is evidence of god being there. I was only indicating (half snarkily) that if we're using that type of thing as evidence for a god, then you have to include good and bad things that happen. If one is being intellectually honest, that is.

Now obviously, if no one uses the "good things happen, therefore god!" line of thought, then yes, you're correct. But your comment is probably better directed at most believers, rather than nonbelievers (who probably have plenty of other reasons for not believing in the thousands of deities human beings have created).

this could also be spun off into the religion thread as well :P

Why do you exist? You're like the asshole version of a Bee. All you do is sting me. At least the Bee makes me delicious honey and pollinates my flowers.

These ones in particular - I don't understand why anyone could be confused as to why they exist in this day and age.

Would love a rational explanation.

Oh yeah and not even gonna touch the ridiculous alcohol one.
