- Eidetic memory - Being outrageously basketball (having a combination of Nash's passing/shooting, Duncan's IQ, Pippen's defense, and Derrick Rose's athleticism would be absolutely great) - Being outrageously good at parkour

I did not compare religion with racism. I compared two racist interpretations of a secular law with certain backwards interpretations of religious laws. Religions are no different from any other intellectual ideal. Capitalism, humanism, communism, Freudian theory, modern welfare. These are...

I hope you realize that *ALL* laws, whether written by religious figures or secular politicians, are up to interpretation. See the Takao Ozawa vs. United States case of 1922. Then see the Bhagat Singh Thind case of 1922. Over the span of one year, the Supreme Court interpreted the same law in...

You, sir, have introduced me to a new World of quotation possibilities. Thank you so much.

I'm currently writing a paper on Joan of Arc and her witchcraft trial and how it relates to the broader themes of the witch-hunt and European politics in general. I was asking myself, "How, exactly, do I begin this paper?" And, as always, a Yahtzee comment came up, something along the lines...

Well, I suppose if somebody actually meets the stereotype naturally, then that's fine. But, personally, I've seen people come out of the closet and become *totally* different people. Not simply in terms of who they're attracted to, but also how they dress, speak, and behave. Personally, I...

As an American, I'm ashamed to say that we don't celebrate Remembrance Day (Veterans' Day, as we call it) with quite the same fervor that others do. We don't treat our veterans with enough respect and gratitude. It can be quite saddening sometimes.

Sorry, say again? I wasn't implying that "different is bad." I was simply agreeing with the OP -- the mainstream media fails to accurately represent/portray the LGBT community. They're too-frequently depicted as ultra-flamboyant individuals who have absolutely no interest in anything "manly"...

I fully concur with the OP. I find that homosexuality is inaccurately portrayed in the media as something that is ultra-feminine, and I think a lot of homosexuals seem to embrace that stereotype more than they should. It's really quite refreshing to see somebody within the LGBT community...

Sorry, did you just try to prove that Islam is a backwards faith because Islam didn't experience humanism and secularism for themselves? Because there have been Secular Muslim societies since the Middle Ages. Also, saying that Jesus promoted peace while Muhammad waged war is a broad...

I'm doing Luigi. My girlfriend's doing Mario. Heck yeah.

Chaotic Good.

Online, I don't really treat them all that differently. In person, I treat them differently. Because a girl who likes gaming is automatically very, very attractive.

I didn't say that the Truman Doctrine and/or containment were acceptable consequences of us joining. Whatever good we did in WWII is overshadowed by the evils committed in the Cold War. But you make the huge assumption that the Americans' joining the Allies in WWII is somehow inextricably...

I won't mention her name here, but she was my Theology teacher in Junior Year (I went to a Catholic school, which honestly wasn't bad at all. Except for this teacher). She was a horrendous teacher. I got the general impression that she cared more about drilling us with her stupid babbling...
