I feel the same way Bill Nye does; I don't think they should teach Darwinian evolution to children. It is especially damaging to children to adopt the belief that they are a random accident with no purpose or meaning to their lives rather than a special creation of God, made in His image, and created to fulfill the destiny He planned for them.

Bill seems to think that those who believe in God are simply too weak to accept the idea that we are all glorified apes living on a random mudball, but that isn't true for me or the other Christians I have met. People believe that God exists because an honest conviction, not because they are intimated by the philosophical blackhole that a belief in strict naturalism ultimately leads to. I was a true believer in the secular creation narrative before I came to know that God exists. I was resigned, as some of you are, to die an ultimately meaningless death. I changed my mind because of the evidence revealed to me, not because I was scared about my future.

I have nothing against Blizzard doing a TF2 style game.

It might even be good.

My comment was simply that TF2 has humour and style, something that (at least from the initial impressions) Overwatch lacks.

It's not bad, but it just clearly wants to ape TF2 in terms of the different accents, etc and it falls flat. Primarily because Blizzard suck at writing. See the cinematic trailer and their desperate attempt for that cockney girl to be cute and have a catchphrase.

I know you're a big ole troll, shiny, about as christian as my left shoe, but to indulge you for a moment, those two quotes in particular, if you are an -actual- Christian who believes that Jesus -was- in fact God, then you know that the passage from John has no particularly stronger meaning than being with the deity is important to your life's salvation. That's nothing particularly unique to Christianity.

With regards to that other out of context Luke quote, who the heck knows what you mean by quoting it, other than Jesus wanted you to feel bad for doing bad things. Not exactly exclusivist. Pretty sure that thought has been around since the first inkling of empathy happened in the great apes..

My kids would love to see that. They go ape-shit for bubbles. I wonder if we can get tickets...

Oh, poo. They do their show in New York.

OMG! 4:46 had me rolling! ..and so begins the rise of the apes.

Bit about myself, newbie @bremnet
Don't watch television, haven't owned one for over 25 years
Recognize the ilk who make comments like yourself as robotic apes regurgitating their keeper's script like public school children singing the McDonald's jingle-

We take offense at wholesale assumptions and editorializing-without-information and recognize it for what it is: The most formidable defense of all chumps and cowards.

This site gives license to all-comers to speak their mind, offer intelligent banter on a variety of subjects, and oh....there's a special car on this train for folks like yourself to masturbate publicly in between the rabble and bar cars...

@hamsteralliance-Sound, sane, and sobering truth in yours, one of the only reasonable comments in this thread. Agree whole-heartedly.

Is this subliminal advertising for the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes?

If not, it still made me laugh.

Lyrics in English, more or less:

Magnificent, magnificent
You were magnificent, I was pathetic,
we were magnificent,
magnificent,
you were magnificent,
I was pathetic,
we were magnificent.

Hey, baby, oops : young lady,
I swear I won't hit on you,
I am single and since yesterday, damn it,
I cannot have children, but anyway that's not... Hey, come back here!
Just a few minutes, come on, I did not insult you, I have my manners,
and I'm quite a bit plastered and for guys like me
you have other things to do, you could have seen me yesterday,
when I was

Magnificent, magnificent
You were magnificent, I was pathetic,
we were magnificent,
magnificent,
you were magnificent,
I was pathetic,
we were magnificent.

Hey, take a look at yourself, think you're Mr Handsome
just because you got married?!
This is but a ring, man, don't get carried away,
she'll dump you like they always do,
now about the other girl, did you tell her?
I can tell her if you want, that will settle the matter,
and I'll tell the kid too, if you have children,
you just wait for 3 or 7 years, and then you'll see
how it's

magnificent, magnificent
You were magnificent, I was pathetic,
we were magnificent,
magnificent,
you were magnificent,
I was pathetic,
we were magnificent.

Eh girl, oh, sorry: boy,
you know, in life there are no good and bad guys,
if Mom is a pain, that's because she's afraid to be a granny,
if Dad cheats on Mom, that's because Mom is getting old, what else?
Why the blush? Come on, come back, boy,
and what's wrong with you all
staring at me like I was a monkey, eh?
Sure, you're such a bunch of saints,
you bunch of apes!
Give me a baby monkey, he will be

magnificent, magnificent
You were magnificent, I was pathetic,
we were magnificent,
magnificent,
you were magnificent,
I was pathetic,
we were magnificent.

Freedoms are what we say they are and what we are willing to claim for ourselves. Laws are for morons and apes...domesticated primates.

Here's one I heard second-hand about the other day as reported early today by:
http://austriantribune.com/informationen/143636-nsa-allegedly-planted-beacons-servers-routers-and-other-network-gear-prior

Intercepting orders for servers, taking them to the Grinch-warehouse and outfitting them with virtually undetectable routing hardware, restoring the packaging material as it was and then sending them on to their 'customers.'

As the general here alludes to in his opener, the shit Snowden blew his whistle about resides in iceberg tips-If they reveal anything regarding the technology in place to keep track of ALL of humanity, military capabilities, breakthroughs in science or medicine etc., chances are good once the information gets to the masses the shits been around for quite some time.

What you think you know about their capabilities and the information hidden from the masses is old fucking news. The only meaningful question left is who are, "THEY?"

I think you're right, but that said different 'races' are different sub-species. They are all sapiens though.
EDIT: with the possible exception of Australian aborigines, which are actually a different type of human as I understand it, separated around 50K years ago +- if I'm not mistaken.
DOUBLE EDIT: research shows me they are homo sapiens, probably a different sub-species though.
I'm not sure if that's a distinction that matters.
EDIT: and the apes/monkeys are different FAMILIES and Genus as well as different species and sub-species, not that the actors were actually apes or monkeys.

"When the movie Planet of the Apes was being filmed and the actors went off to eat lunch, the gorillas sat with the gorillas, the chimps sat with the chimps, and the orangutans sat with their fellows. It wasn't racism, it was shared experience."

Best. Troll. Ever.

They are not eradicating racism. They are only eradicating any personal expression of belief. Banning Donald Sterling from the NBA is right out of 1984.
Racism can only be eradicated by a realization that all people are created of God.
Personally, I will still gravitate toward white people, just as black people gravitate toward black people. It is due to shared experience.

Just as I would rather sit with a black cop than a white firefighter because the cop and I share a common experience.

Domesticated/altered plants spread back into the wild all the time, and chimps have been here as long as we have, IOW, they have learned to recognize and eat bananas by quite literally reaping our fruits, so to speak. And even if you find a chimp/great ape or even a monkey that has never seen a banana, my bet is that its going to figure it out pretty quickly, they are curios and fast learners

I want to know this: do our normal yellow bananas grow wild through some sort of propagation from our selectively bred bananas? If not, how do animals (like captive apes) know what bananas are/how to eat them when we give them our yellow bananas, assuming they've come from a non-yellow banana area?

Incorrect. Brain-dead morons (or people who love being marketed to and sold a bill of bads) robotically-assisted through programming and several millions of dollars of mind-control technology offered-up on the alter of Baal their single vote to the current version of a marionette.

Evil cunts placed him a position of ass-fucking power, and a fawning chorus of dutiful and exhausted hairless apes grabbed their ankles and gasped, "Thank you sir, may I have another...and ANOTHER?!!"

Galifanakis has got to be one of the most un-funny entertainers in the history of cinema (have to admit though, chuckled a few times with this one). He and Will Farrel should be placed on an ice flow and set adrift.....with provisions, of course.
